OBJECTIVE: @entity308 ( @entity308 ) is associated with decreased physical activity and increased rates of the @entity209 ( @entity209 ), a risk factor for the development of @entity164 2 @entity6 and @entity65 . Exercise training has been shown to improve @entity410 and @entity209 factors. Therefore, our study aimed at examining whether @entity1 receiving an exercise program as an adjunct to inpatient treatment will benefit in terms of physiological and psychological factors. METHOD: Fourty-two inpatients with moderate to severe @entity308 were included. Twenty-two @entity1 were randomized to additional 3x weekly exercise training (EXERCISE) and compared to treatment as usual (TAU). Exercise capacity was assessed as peak @entity26 uptake (VO2peak), ventilatory anaerobic threshold (VAT) and workload expressed as Watts (W). @entity209 was defined according to NCEP ATPIII panel criteria. RESULTS: After 6 weeks of treatment, @entity410 (VO2peak, VAT, Watt), waist circumference and HDL @entity165 were significantly improved in EXERCISE @entity1 . Treatment response expressed as >= 50% MADRS reduction was more frequent in the EXERCISE group. CONCLUSIONS: Adjunctive exercise training in @entity308 inpatients improves physical fitness, @entity209 factors, and psychological outcome. Given the association of @entity308 with @entity74 , exercise training is recommended as an adjunct to standard antidepressant treatment.
