The study aimed to investigate whether supervised group exercise therapy added to standard outpatient treatment improved depressive and anxiety symptoms more than group relaxation therapy. This was an open-label randomized controlled trial (RCT); 86 patients with a major depressive episode or an anxiety disorder recruited from primary care and psychiatric outpatient clinics in Örebro, Sweden, were randomized to group exercise (n=43) or relaxation (n=43). The supervised group intervention was planned to last 12 weeks, with exercise delivered in 3 sessions per week (36 sessions in total) and relaxation in 1 session per week (12 sessions in total). The primary outcomes were symptom severity measured using the MADRS (Montgomery–Åsberg Depression Rating Scale), the self-report MADRS-S, the BAI (Beck Anxiety Inventory), and the CGI-S (Clinical Global Impression–Severity), with assessments conducted at baseline, after one-third and two-thirds of the total sessions had been completed, and after the intervention. Both groups showed significant within-group symptom reductions across all outcome measures, but no significant between-group differences were found. The dropout rate was high: 22 patients withdrew from the exercise arm and 9 from the relaxation arm. The time taken to complete the intervention differed significantly between the exercise arm (18.7 weeks) and the relaxation arm (14.7 weeks) (p=0.002). The authors discuss the possibility that relaxation may be as effective as exercise as an adjunctive treatment for depression and anxiety, and emphasize the importance of adapting the type and level of group activity to the patient's capacity.
