What is the Effect of Aerobic Exercise on Depression in Geriatric Individuals Diagnosed With Depression?

This study was planned to examine the effect of aerobic exercises on depression in geriatric individuals with a diagnosis of depression.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Depression; Chronic Illness; Aerobic Exercise; Geriatric
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: Aerobic Exercise

Detailed Description

In this study 67 ± 5 years of age averaged and by the physician in geriatric depression diagnosis was placed 38 sedentary geriatric subjects were included. Meet the inclusion criteria geriatric individuals information, vital signs (pulse,"beats /min", blood pressure, " mmHg ", respiration number, respiratory rate,) was recorded. Depression levels, Depression Outcome Scale- KOFDSS to and quality of life is Quality of Life Survey -EUROHIS WHO-QOL) were evaluated. 6-week, 4 days a week aerobic exercise program was applied to geriatric individuals. As aerobic exercise which included the heating and cooling cycle was started the first week and 120 minutes, 160 minutes weekend out and gradually the intensity was given as an exercise program to be increasing. Individuals from the 6-week program were re-evaluated.

Intervention / Treatment

Experimental: Exercise group; Considering the protocol suggested in the literature and by examining exercise samples for geriatric individuals, an exercise protocol was created. The first week started with aerobic exercises with a total of 120 minutes, and the next week increased to 160 minutes . A 6-week exercise program was planned and applied 4 days a week in which the intensity was increased gradually. People 's heart rate, blood pressure and respiratory frequency exercise program implementation before and after was recorded in the evaluation form.

Other: Aerobic Exercise; Since up in 2 min 10 repetitions active joint movement (while seated knee flexion and extension the ankle plantar and dorsal flexion , standing the hip flexion , extension the , abduction and adduction ) , treadmill for 3 minutes, 0.5 m / sec speed walk with and to adapt both warming bike 5 minutes, RPE ( Rating of Perceived exertion discoverable by exertion rate) will be 2/10 in a way was built. As aerobic exercise, the first week will be RPE 4/10 for 10 minutes, the second week with RPE 4/10 12 minutes, the third week with RPE 4/10 14 minutes, the fourth week with RPE 4/10, 16 minutes, the fifth week with RPE 5/ 2 0 will be as 18 minutes sixth week RPA 10.6 will form was done 20 minutes of exercise . Cooling period in the RPE 2.10 will be the 5 minute turning cycling, 5 min active range of motion exercises and stretching was done.
