Anxiety Symptoms Reduced By Moderate & Intense Exercise: Study

Research found that moderate and intense exercise relieved anxiety symptoms. About 286 individuals with anxiety syndrome were recruited from Gothenburg's primary care facilities. After a 12-week program of group exercise sessions, majority of the people went from a moderate degree of anxiety to a low level of anxiety. Previous research on physical exercise in depression revealed significant symptom relief. Cognitive-behavioral therapy and psychotropic medications are the main therapies for anxiety.
