Stopping exercise suddenly can result in increased depressive symptoms, according to a study. Julie Morgan, PhD student at the University of Adelaide in Australia, reviewed the results of earlier studies that examined the effects of stopping exercise in regularly active adults. “Adequate physical activity and exercise are important for both physical and mental health,” said Morgan, who published the review in the Journal of Affective Disorders. Current public health guidelines recommend being active on most if not all days of the week, researchers said. At least 150 minutes of moderate intensity exercise a week is recommended to maintain health and prevent depression, or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity exercise for added health benefits, they said.
