“What is unique (about this study) that it is the first and largest investigation of a longitudinal cohort - with and without chronic disease - to try and work out what was the lowest minimal dose to observe a difference in depression,” Laird said. If the exercise level is increased to vigorous - such as jogging or running, during which breathing is fast and the heart rate rises - the time spent exercising can be reduced, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Examples include brisk walking, bicycling, dancing, playing tennis, or running up and down stairs. Moderate physical activity is typically defined as an activity that “ takes your breath” so that it is hard to speak while doing it. People without chronic disease in the study, however, needed to do moderate to vigorous exercise two hours a day to see improvement in depressive symptoms, according to lead study author Eamon Laird, a researcher at the Physical Activity for Health Research Centre at the University of Limerick in Ireland. Up to 85% of people with chronic pain experience severe depression, according to a different 2017 study. People with diabetes have twice the risk for depression, according to Diabetes UK, and a 2017 study found heart disease patients are twice as likely to die if they develop depression after their diagnosis.
