This study is a structural equation modeling; the study sample includes 37 clinically depressed students of Kermanshah University of Medical Science in the academic year 2013-2014. Subsequent to the structured interview, participants sign a statement of informed consent informing them of their freedom to withdraw at any time.
Inclusion criteria:
Depression score in the BDI-II between 14 and 28 and diagnosed depressive disorder based on the Diagnostic Interview
Exclusion criteria:
1. Other disorders in the axis 1.
2. Suicidal thought or severe depression.
3. At the same time, receiving psychiatric treatment or psychotherapy.
Participants were randomly allocated to two groups (by Drawing), an experimental and a control group. Before engaging in therapy, we assesses depression (BDI), negative automatic thoughts (ATQ), dysfunctional attitudes (DAS), and early maladaptive schema scores, and then the experimental groups receive eight sessions of aerobic exercise (three times a week), and the control group receive no treatment. At the end of the treatment, once again we assess experimental and control groups.
The general objective of this study is to determine the effectiveness of group aerobic exercise on depressed students' cognitive change process.
Specific objectives include:
1. Determining the effectiveness of group aerobic exercise on depression.
2. Determining the effectiveness of group aerobic exercise on the negative automatic thoughts.
3. Determining the effectiveness of group aerobic exercise on dysfunctional assumptions.
4. Cognitive models for the effect of aerobic exercise on depression.
