科学家证实:锻炼让你远离抑郁

　　The study found that individuals who took part in regular physical activity – however mild or intense – were less likely to have symptoms of depression. However, this only held true when activity was part of leisure. Those who were not active in their leisure time were almost twice as likely to suffer symptoms of depression than the most active individuals.

　　结果发现，经常参加体力活动者（不论活动量大小）身上抑郁的症状较少。然而，该结论只适用于闲时活动。而那些“闲时不动”者有抑郁症的可能性是最活跃者的两倍。

　　Lead researcher Samuel Harvey said: "We also found that the context in which activity takes place is vital and that the social benefits associated with exercise, like increased numbers of friends and social support, are more important in understanding how exercise may be linked to improved mental health than any biological markers of fitness. "

　　该研究带头人萨缪尔-哈维称：“我们还发现活动的环境很关键，而同锻炼相关的社会受益，像朋友数目以及社会支持的增加，在理解活动有益于心理健康方面，比任何保护健康的生化药品都重要。”
