Individualized Exploration of Aerobic Exercise-assisted Treatment of Depression Monitored by Smart Band: a Randomized Controlled Trial
Peking University
80 participants

INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The goal of this project is to quantify the relative effectiveness of aerobic exercise monitored by smart wristbands in assisting the treatment of depression and improving cognitive function. It aims to explore the mechanisms through which aerobic exercise exerts its effects using imaging genetics and other methods, and to identify suitable populations for exercise, ultimately providing personalized clinical exercise prescriptions. This study will intervene from a behavioral perspective and also seeks to motivate participants to change and improve their physical activity habits.
