  Abstract:  VIEW PDF: INFLUENCE OF PHYSICAL EXERCISE ON MOTOR BEHAVIOR IN EXPERIMENTALLY INDUCED DEPRESSION (NOTE I)

Depression, studied over the past 50 years in animal models with genetic or experimentally induced depression, is associated with locomotor, anxiety, motor learning and memory changes. We aimed to study in animals, male Wistar rats, in which depression was experimentally induced, the antidepressant effect of exercise on locomotor, exploratory and emotional behavior. The performance of physical exercise in animals with induced depression and the improvement of locomotor activity evidenced by us were reported by other authors (Hendriksen et al. 2012; Van Hoomissen et al. 2011). The insignificant changes of emotivity in experimental depression are not influenced by physical exercise. Physical exercise has favorable effects on motor behavior, does not influence emotivity and has antidepressant effects in animals with olfactory bulbectomy induced depression, a model that mimics major depression in humans.

Keywords: physical exercise, depression, motility, emotivity.
