[Objectives] To assess the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in reducing or preventing depression. [Methods] A systematic electronic searching of the PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Web of Science, SPORTSDiscus, PsyCINFO, SCOPUS and CINAHL (EBSCOhost) was initially performed up to June 25, 2024. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included if they contained data on depression taken before and after HIIT treatment. Data were extracted by 2 independent coders. Estimates were examined by using random-effects meta-analysis. [Results] 14 independent samples (493 participants) were included. There was a statistically significant reduction in depression symptom following HIIT compared with both continuous training (CT) and control conditions (CON) (HIIT vs. CT: standardized mean difference [SMD]=-0.35, 95% confidence interval [CI] -0.66 to -0.04, p=0.025; CON: SMD=-0.49, 95% CI -0.92 to -0.07, p=0.022). There were no statistically significant differences between groups in anxiety symptom (HIIT vs. CT: SMD=-0.45, 95% CI -1.11 to 0.21, p=0.182; CON: SMD=-0.14, 95% CI -0.47 to 0.18, p=0.386). [Conclusions] HIIT is associated with decreased concurrent depressive symptoms; the association with anxiety symptoms is weak. |
