Depression is one of the main problems that people live today, it is estimated that it affects more than 300 million people around the world.
Endurance exercises (RET) aim to increase the physical capacity of people. They also provide greater oxygenation and nourishing components to the muscles. Resistance is achieved by executing an exercise for a long period of time.
The increase in blood flow in the brain that is generated with the practice of strength exercises can change the structure and functioning of the brain, creating new brain cells that generate the production of endorphins (hormones that improve mood).
Specialists suggest that other alternatives that can help improve depressive symptoms are aerobic, cardiovascular and yoga. Finally, lifting weights will never be enough to overcome a depression because mental health is complicated and is associated with various factors.
