科学家证实:锻炼让你远离抑郁

　　Scientists have confirmed that people who take regular exercise are less likely to be depressed, provided the activity is carried out in leisure time. However, people who exert themselves at work, for instance by digging up roads or heavy lifting, were no less likely to suffer depression than those in sedentary desk jobs.

　　科学家近日证实，休闲时间多做锻炼的人较少抑郁。但是，与文职工作相比，活动量大的工作（如挖掘路面、抬举重物等）并不会起到相同的效果。

　　Researchers from the Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London teamed up with colleagues in Norway to carry out the study of 40,401 Norwegian residents. Participants were asked how often they engaged in both light and intense physical activity during their leisure time. People were also asked how physically active they were at work. All the volunteers were given a physical examination and answered questions aimed at assessing their levels of depression and anxiety.

　　来自精神病学中心、国王学院的研究人员和挪威同行一道，对40401名挪威志愿者进行了测试。接受测试人员者需回答他们在休闲时间参加轻、重体力活动的频繁程度，以及工作时的体力劳动强度。所有志愿者都进行了体能检测，并回答旨在评估他们的抑郁和焦虑水平的问题。
