As stated by the source record.
Quoted from the source exactly as published.
Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.
What is missing. This record has no key findings. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Registry record from ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT07541443). This is a study registration, not published results. Lead sponsor: Emporia State University. Recruitment status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING. Phase: NA. Study type: INTERVENTIONAL. Enrollment: 20 participants (ESTIMATED). Conditions: Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Depressive and Anxiety Disorders. Interventions: BEHAVIORAL: Exercise. Primary outcome measures: Aim 1a. Evaluate the impact of a structured group cardiovascular exercise and CBT program on anxiety symptoms as measured by scores on the PHQ-9 assessment. , 8 weeks; Aim 1b. Investigate the impacts of a structured group cardiovascular exercise and CBT program on depressive symptoms as measured by scores on the GAD-7 assessment. , 8 weeks. Brief summary: Common mental health disorders, like anxiety and depression, are widespread among the American population. The prevalence of mental health disorders among adults continues has consistently increased from previous decades and is now a major public health challenge. Data shows that 1 in 5 Americans regularly report feeling depressed. Therapy is supported as an effective means of treating mental anxiety and depression, and lessening their severity. But therapy is expensive and not always covered by insurance. It is well known that exercise provides physiological and psychological benefits to those suffering from mental health disorders. However, prescribing and monitoring exercise can be challenging, if not impossible, for mental health practitioners, and individuals often are unsure how to begin an exercise program on their own. Studies that have investigated the impact on exercise on mental health have delivered exercise using a traditional clinical trial exercise structure, where exercise is completed by the client/patient under the supervision of a professional. This structure, while beneficial, does not always transfer well to real-world settings. Working one-on-one with an exercise professional poses financial and scheduling barriers for most. Few, if any, studies have used group exercise and group therapy to address mental health concerns. This study aims to combine cardiovascular exercise with group therapy to investigate the impact of cardiovascular fitness on mental health outcomes among Rural dwelling adults living with generalized anxiety and/or depressive disorders.
