The present study reports 1-year follow-up data from the SMILE-II study ( 10), in which 202 participants with MDD were randomized to aerobic exercise (home-based or supervised), antidepressant medication (sertraline), or placebo pill. Although several small studies have reported significant benefits of exercise relative to placebo or no-exercise controls, most studies have significant methodological limitations, and the longer-term benefits of aerobic exercise compared with medication and pill placebo on MDD remission have not been examined. Although MDD is likely to recur in 50% to 85% of patients initially treated with antidepressants, continued regular use of the medication during follow-up periods reduces the risk of relapse ( 7).Īerobic exercise also has demonstrated antidepressant effects ( 8) and has been associated with rates of MDD remission that are comparable to pharmacotherapy ( 9, 10).

Randomized clinical trials have generally reported response rates of 30% to 45% with single-action or dual-action antidepressant monotherapy ( 4), and up to 67% for patients receiving augmentation with additional medications ( 5, 6). Antidepressant medication is currently the accepted treatment of choice for MDD ( 3).
