Over a ten-year period, biobank participants who met recommended levels of physical activity had a 23% lower risk of cardiovascular disease, and the protective effects were even more pronounced in individuals with depression.
New research indicates that physical activity lowers cardiovascular disease risk in part by reducing stress-related signaling in the brain.
A subset of 774 participants also underwent brain imaging tests and measurements of stress-related brain activity. Moreover, reductions in stress-related brain signaling partially accounted for physical activity's cardiovascular benefit. "Prospective studies are needed to identify potential mediators and to prove causality. In the meantime, clinicians could convey to patients that physical activity may have important brain effects, which may impart greater cardiovascular benefits among individuals with stress-related syndromes such as depression."Hadil Zureigat, Michael T.
