Vigorous Exercise for Depressed Smokers

January 12, 2016 updated by: Christi Patten, Mayo Clinic

Supervised, Vigorous Intensity Exercise Intervention for Depressed Female Smokers

In this project the investigators will develop and pilot test a supervised, vigorous intensity exercise intervention for depressed female smokers. If the pilot intervention is successful the investigators will have a blueprint for a large randomized controlled trial. The long term objective is to develop interventions for depressed women that will ultimately reduce their risk of tobacco-caused disease and mortality.
