| Annotation | Depression in older people may be contributed to the multiple losses of ageing, such as losses of health, function, earning capacity and social worth. Research has demonstrated the beneficial effects of physical exercise in people with depression. This study tested the hypothesis that progressive resistance training would reduce depression while improving physiologic capacity, quality of life, morale, function and self-efficacy without adverse events in a group of older people suffering from depression. Results revealed that progressive resistance training significantly reduced depression, and also improved strength, quality of life, and morale. |
