🚨PAPER ALERT🚨 Results from our single-arm resistance exercise training to treat depression pilot are out now! Resistance exercise 2x/wk for 16 wks was feasible, acceptable, and plausibly reduced depression and improved brain blood flow. Link:

[Jacob Meyer @JMeyer37]

Fantastic, as always, to write with @mph8 and publish an easy-to-read update of the mood benefits of resistance exercise along with current mechanistic considerations. Hoping this can foster broad interest in the area. Exciting ongoing work will add to the evidence soon!

[IowaStateUNews @IowaStateUNews]

Researchers at #IowaState want to know whether different types and doses of exercise can improve #mentalhealth, either on their own or integrated into treatment plans, and what underlying mechanisms may be responsible.

1/ When it rains, it pours. Honored, excited, counting-my-lucky-stars that our second trial evaluating a behavioral depression treatment is now NIMH-funded! I am incredibly thankful to the village of people that helped (pilot trial, bouncing ideas, mentoring, encouraging, etc)!

[Jacob Meyer @JMeyer37]

Incredibly excited to share that our grant to examine integrating exercise into CBT is funded! Definitely a long journey, but now we actually get to do it! Many thanks to all of the mentors and teammates who helped get this project to this point. #NoA #onward @WellEx_ISU
