Can Exercise Decreases Anxiety?

Acute vs. Chronic
In layman's term acute simply means short-term, whereas chronic means long term.
​
Acute exercise has longer effects than quiet rest or relaxation. But have the same end goal which is to reduce anxiety. It is recommended to do both relaxation and acute exercises to get the most effective reductions of anxiety. How long should I exercise for to reduce my anxiety? All durations are good, but up to thirty minutes shows the best results. Remember even doing a little is better than nothing. Chronic effects of exercise can be used in conjunction with medication/therapy. Long-term also helps reduce anxiety. “Exercise can be as effective as psychotherapy in reducing depression” (Dr. Jalene).
