摘要

Abstract

With the increasing severity of mental health problems

traditional drug therapy and psychotherapy have certain limitations in terms of intervention effects and side effects. Exercise

as a new means of mental health intervention

has been widely concerned. This paper discusses the mechanism and theoretical effect of exercise intervention on mental health from a medical point of view. Firstly

the effect of exercise on improving mental health through neurophysiological mechanism

psychological and cognitive mechanism

immune and inflammatory mechanism was analyzed. Secondly

the effects of different forms of exercise such as aerobic exercise

resistance training and mindfulness exercise were compared

and the effects of exercise intensity

frequency

duration and environmental factors were pointed out. Finally

this paper summarizes the limitations of the current research

and proposes that future research should focus on the development of multi-disciplinary and personalized exercise intervention strategies to achieve more effective mental health intervention. The results of this study provide theoretical support for the application of exercise in the field of mental health

and provide reference for future clinical practice and intervention program design.
