A recent study confirmed that low physical fitness doubled the risk of depression and raised the risk of anxiety by 60%.
According to the British newspaper “Daily Mail”, the study, conducted by University College London, included monitoring more than 150,000 Britons for 7 years. And researchers in the United Kingdom found a link between reduced physical activity and various mental health conditions.
Study author Aaron Kandola at University College London said: “We found a lot of evidence for a relationship between physical and mental health. And regular exercise aimed at improving different types of fitness isn’t just good for your physical health. But it may also have mental health benefits. ”
“Reports that people are not as active as they were before the pandemic are alarming. Especially after the closure of the gyms and the short time people spend outside the home. Physical activity is an important part of our life and can play a major role in preventing mental health disorders.
According to researchers, depression and anxiety are associated with an increased risk of physical health problems. Including a high incidence of cardiovascular disease and premature death.
