This research which is published in the British Medical Journal provides a new insight in the management of people suffering from depression that adding exercises does not relive the person from the state of thoughts and troubles about which the person is drowned in the state which is termed as depression. The research was done at the University of Bristol and the University of Exeter. 361 people suffering and diagnosed of depression were recruited. The age group chosen was in between 18 to 69 years. These 361 people were split into 2 groups. One group received usual care with physical exercises and the other group received only usual care.Both of these groups were continuously assessed for a time span of one year for the changes over their depression. In this first ever large scale trail to understand the effects of exercises with usual care regimen for treating depression, it is found that exercises do not add up to any extra relief over depression when compared to the other group who received only usual care.This study came with a conclusion which is in contradiction with the findings of earlier studies. The major difference in this study and the earlier ones is the quantum of the study. The earlier studies were smaller ones which also gave their inferences by smaller time duration research which many times had come from small samples many a times non clinical, as said by researcher Melanie Chalder from the University of Bristol’s School of Social and Community Medicine.She also said that exercise is still but important in people suffering from Depression and also suffering from other physical diseases like Heart related diseases, Obesity and Diabetes which can also occur in people suffering from depression. This is also acknowledged by Dr. John Campbell from the University of Exeter.University of Bristol and University of Exeter are Public Research Universities situated in the United Kingdom.
