However, it is unknown which mode of exercise, if any, is more beneficial. To determine whether aerobic, resistance, or aerobic and resistance exercise improves depressive and\/or anxiety symptoms in individuals diagnosed with depression or anxiety. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta\u2010Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed. Five electronic databases were searched, until February 24, 2024. Studies were included for analysis based on satisfying quality appraisal standards and the established inclusion criteria associated with aerobic or resistance exercise in adults with a diagnosis of depression or anxiety. Random effects meta\u2010analysis was performed where possible. Thirty\u2010two randomised controlled trial studies (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20093243 participants) met the inclusion criteria for this systematic review, and 26 studies (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20092681 participants) were included in the meta\u2010analyses. For the 25 studies assessing the effect of exercise on depressive symptoms, the pooled standardised mean difference (SMD) favoured exercise as a beneficial treatment of depression (\u22120.97, 95% confidence interval [CI] \u22121.28 to \u22120.66), with a large magnitude of effect. For the 11 studies reporting the effect of exercise on anxiety symptoms, the pooled SMD results revealed that exercise had a significant, moderate magnitude of effect favouring exercise treatment (\u22120.66, 95% CI \u22121.09 to \u22120.23). No studies excessively influenced the outcomes of depression and anxiety. Aerobic, resistance, or a mixture of aerobic and resistance exercise is beneficial for improving symptoms of depression and anxiety.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Protocol Registration:<\/jats:bold>\n                    PROSPERO registration number: CRD42019119341 (date of registration: 5\/2\/2019).\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/inm.70054","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,28]],"date-time":"2025-05-28T02:21:22Z","timestamp":1748398882000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":43,"title":["The Effects of Aerobic and Resistance Exercise on Depression and Anxiety: Systematic Review With Meta\u2010Analysis"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"34","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6079-4020","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Harry","family":"Banyard","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical, Health, and Exercise Sciences School of Health Sciences, Swinburne University of Technology  Melbourne Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8697-4006","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Karen\u2010Leigh","family":"Edward","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nursing and Midwifery College of Sport, Health and Engineering, Victoria University  Melbourne Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4985-4280","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Loretta","family":"Garvey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federation University Australia  Melbourne Australia"},{"name":"Centre for Behavioural Science Swinburne University of Technology  Melbourne Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7902-1837","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"John","family":"Stephenson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Human and Health Sciences, University of Huddersfield  Huddersfield UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9966-9414","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Liane","family":"Azevedo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Human and Health Sciences, University of Huddersfield  Huddersfield UK"},{"name":"School of Sport and Physical Activity, Sheffield Hallam University  Sheffield UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2959-8969","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Amanda Clare","family":"Benson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical, Health, and Exercise Sciences School of Health Sciences, Swinburne University of Technology  Melbourne Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,27]]},"reference":[{"issue":"17","key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"A Randomized Controlled Trial on the Impact of Moderate\u2010Intensity Continuous Aerobic Exercise on the Depression Status of Middle\u2010Aged Patients With Congestive Heart Failure","volume":"98","author":"Abdelbasset W.
