      The decreased BDNF levels reflect a decreased process of neurogenesis, which, in turn, may result in greater cognitive decline, both prognostic and functioning (Gama et al., 2013). Exercise has recently received considerable attention as a complementary therapeutic option in BD treatment, conferring many potential benefits to mental and physical health (Ng et al., 2007; Wright et al., 2009; Goodrich and Kilbourne, 2010; Wright et al., 2012; Ravindran and da Silva, 2013; Stanton and Happell, 2013; Sylvia et al., 2013; Vancampfort et al., 2013). Moreover, some authors propose that exercise may increase neurogenesis of BD (Alsuwaidan et al., 2009; Kucyi et al., 2010; Sylvia et al., 2010).

      From public health and clinical perspectives, these findings justify physical activity interventions targeting adults with BP. Physical activity may also be an effective behavioral intervention for the treatment and/or management of mood episodes and the corresponding impairments in quality of life, and occupational and social functioning observed in adults with BP (Goodrich and Kilbourne, 2010; Wright et al., 2009; Revicki et al., 2005). Furthermore, physical activity may be an effective intervention for decreasing the elevated risk of common medical comorbidities observed in this high-risk population.

      The interest in physical activity interventions for patients with bipolar disorder is increasing. Existing studies do suggest that physical activity interventions may be feasible and have a role in promoting mental and physical health in this population (Alsuwaidan et al., 2009; Goodrich and Kilbourne, 2010). Physical activity might have anxiolytic, antidepressant (Ng et al., 2007) and positive neurocognitive effects (Kucyi et al., 2010; Sylvia et al., 2010).

      Citation Excerpt :

      We found that physical inactivity was the major risk factor for all mentioned mental disorders, except manic episode. Persons with mania are more likely to have excessive behaviors such as excessive PA (Goodrich and Kilbourne, 2010). Several meta-analytic studies have evaluated the effects of exercise as a treatment for mental disorders, and their findings support exercise protecting against mental disorders, and the behavioral and neurobiological consequences of exercise may explain the mechanism(s) of action (Barbour et al., 2007; Blumenthal et al., 2007; Dunn et al., 2005; Smith and Lynch, 2012).
