30名居住在社区的中度抑郁老年人被随机分配到3种干预措施中的1种：实验者陪同的步行形式的锻炼，社会接触控制条件和等待列表控制。运动和社会接触都导致贝克抑郁量表（BDI）的总体和心理分量表的显着下降。然而，与对照组不同的是，运动条件导致BDI的躯体症状减少。这些结果表明，至少在短期内，与控制条件相比，运动在减轻中度抑郁老年人的抑郁症状方面具有更广泛的影响。
Thirty community-dwelling, moderately depressed elderly were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 interventions: experimenter-accompanied exercise in the form of walking, a social contact control condition, and a wait-list control. Exercise and social contact both resulted in significant reductions in both the total and the psychological subscale of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). The exercise condition, however, unlike the control conditions, resulted in decreased somatic symptoms of the BDI. These results indicate that, at least in the short term, exercise has a broader effect compared with control conditions in reducing depressive symptoms in the moderately depressed elderly.
