Does High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) improve depressive symptoms in people with mental illness?
HIIT is an effective intervention for improving depressive symptoms in patients with mental illness, though it has not yet proven definitively superior to other forms of exercise.
HIIT offers a viable exercise option for depressive symptoms in mental illness; confirms efficacy but leaves open superiority over other modalities.
The limited evidence suggests the effectiveness of HIIT interventions for improving depressive symptoms in people with mental illness. However, HIIT was not superior to other exercise treatments, although a trend for its superiority may be recognized. A number of methodological issues should be considered in further interventions to better characterize and identify the most efficient HIIT modalities for the treatment of depressive symptoms in these patients.
