Can Exercise Beat Depression? | Science & Strategy with Ryan Parke | #20
Welcome back to ‘Science & Strategy!’
In today’s episode, we’re exploring whether exercise can be an effective treatment for depression. We dive into a 2024 meta-analysis by Michael Noetel, covering 218 randomised trials with over 14,000 participants. The study reveals surprising insights—like how jogging, yoga, and even dance can help boost mental health, and why intensity and accountability are key.
