Brief Summary

We developed an exercise program based on patients' individual level of anaerobic threshold, a submaximal index of aerobic capacity measured by cardiopulmonary exercise testing. We found that in patients diagnosed with major depressive disorder or persistent depressive disorder, our exercise program resulted in a clinically significant reduction in depressive symptoms at week 8, which was maintained at week 16.
