  1. Hi everybody.
  2. My name is Sayaka would and this is my presentation
  3. exercise versus depression.
  4. So The research question that I chose in week one
  5. is, does exercise decrease symptoms of depression and anxiety?
  6. The reason that this topic is important is because I
  7. feel like we as a society are very quick to
  8. ask for prescriptions and look for medications when maybe quite
  9. possibly we can take the power of our mental health
  10. into our own hands.
  11. Maybe we've had the power all along to decrease symptoms
  12. of depression and anxiety on our own without needing to
  13. put medication and sometimes with terrible side effects and long
  14. term effects that we still, we just don't understand them
  15. all and we're putting them all into our bodies.
  16. And if we can find an all natural and healthy
  17. way to decrease symptoms of depression and anxiety with all
  18. positive side effects, we could explore those options.
  19. So I've chosen a couple articles here that I think
  20. helped to elaborate on why I think exercise decrease the
  21. symptoms of depression and anxiety.
  22. This article is the chronic stress of coronavirus is affecting
  23. your mental health.
  24. Here's how exercise can help.
  25. And in this article discusses how exercise can help people
  26. not succumb to the horrible side effects of the pandemic.
  27. And I think everybody went through some kind of stressful
  28. time, maybe even some depression during this pandemic where our
  29. lives were so uncertain and we had no idea what
  30. was coming next.
  31. And Professor Jennifer Haigh's hypothesized that exercise can prevent stress
  32. induced depression, and she states that exercise helps to strengthen
  33. and tone our muscles in the same way that exercise
  34. strengthens and tones the stress system to tolerate higher levels
  35. of stress.
  36. She believes that 30 minutes of moderate exercise a day
  37. is inadequate as as adequate as boosting mood, decreasing symptoms
  38. of depression, anxiety and reducing psychological stresses.
  39. Medication is the other article that I found help too
  40. elaborate on my research question is an experimental analysis on
  41. mental and physical impact of physical activities among college students
  42. by when weighing.
  43. And he explored the influencing mechanism of tai chi and
  44. how it affects the overall well being of college students
  45. and hopes of shedding some new light on the relationship
  46. between physical activity and mental health.
  47. Using the pre test, post test control group.
  48. Design. The results of this experiment show that this 18
  49. week experiment had an important influence on easing tension and
  50. cultivating positivity and optimism when it came to college work
  51. in class tests.
  52. The majority of the students in this experiment said that
  53. they were less anxious and less worried when it came
  54. to school work, and life in general, does exercise decrease
  55. symptoms of depression and anxiety?
  56. To test this question, I too, would like to use
  57. the pretest post test control group to sign.
  58. And I'd have 300 participants with diagnosed anxiety or depression
  59. or both.
  60. And I split them into three groups.
  61. My first group would have participants um That were supervised
  62. in their daily exercises five days a week, for 30
  63. minutes each.
  64. My second group would be medicated and using the prescriptions
  65. that they were already prescribed by doctors Prior to coming
  66. into this experiment.
  67. and group three would be music.
  68. Excuse me using a placebo.
  69. And this experiment would take about three months.
  70. And at the beginning and end of those three months,
  71. they take a series of mental health tests, interviews, and
  72. questionnaires to see and better understand the results.
  73. One more.
  74. There's always ethical principles to keep in mind and especially
  75. when you conduct an experiment that includes human subjects subjects.
  76. Excuse me.
  77. One of the most important things you can do is
  78. keep participants safe.
  79. Confidentiality is a bridge of trust between the participant and
  80. the experiment conductor.
  81. And the trust is very important in keeping results of
  82. the experiment true and untainted.
  83. 4.01. Maintaining confidentiality is a perfect way to keep your
  84. participants safe.
  85. 8.02. Informed consent to research, keeps participants informed about the
  86. purpose of the research and the rights of the participants.
  87. Foreseeable consequences and more conclusion and references.
  88. Exercise may be the key to helping us cope better
  89. with depression, stress and anxiety.
  90. It would be so great if we had the power
  91. within ourselves to help control our diagnosis and heal our
  92. bodies on our own.
  93. Without the help of medication though, I'm very aware of
  94. the medication has helped so many and saved so many
  95. lives. I still wonder if proper exercise may be the
  96. key to coping, and even quite possibly healing, and not
  97. having depressive and anxiety and depression and anxiety symptoms in
  98. our bodies.
  99. I have a strong feeling that exercise may be the
  100. key, and thank you so much.
  101. My references are listed below and have a good rest
  102. of everybody's day.
