Physical Activity and Mood

Gal Dubnov, Elliot M. Berry

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Various researchers have pointed out the affective changes brought about by physical activity (PA) (1–5). The mood changes documented are generally an increase in “positive” mood states, such as calmness and pleasantness, and a decrease in “negative” mood states, such as depression and anger. The improvement in overall mood scores is seen after most types of exercise, both aerobic and anaerobic, that last for a minimal period of time or intensity.
