Study on the effects of exercise intervention combined with virtual reality technology on emotions and brain networks in secondary school students with depressive symptoms

Key Points

Mood enhancement exceeds conventional exercise effects, highlighting virtual reality's unique benefits.
Key improvements noted in brain network connectivity within theta and alpha bands with VR-EI.
Exercise intervention combined with virtual reality significantly targets depressive symptoms in adolescents.
Further exploration of this technique may help tailor mental health interventions effectively.

Abstract

Depressive symptoms in adolescents are associated with multifrequency brain network dysregulation. Combining exercise intervention with virtual reality technology (VR-EI) optimizes key brain network connectivity and activity in the theta and alpha bands through multisensory stimulation. Its mood-enhancing effects surpass those of conventional exercise, offering a promising new strategy for personalized intervention in adolescent depression.
