Exercise as an intervention for enhancing subjective well-being in an HIV-1 population

Article Abstract:

An examination of HIV-1 patients shows that interventions integrating physical exercises with psychological and emotional therapy promotes subjective well-being. Results reveal that both weight-training and aerobic exercises enhance self-efficacy, positive mood, and satisfaction with life. A social cognitive perspective enhances self-efficacy for specific and related physical activities.

Acute exercise and anxiety reduction: does the environment matter?

Article Abstract:

A study suggests environment affects individual levels of anxiety during exercise. Participants who sat quietly showed no changes in anxiety levels, whereas those who were able to choose the setting in which they exercised showed significantly reduced anxiety. Levels of anxiety increased during exercise and significantly dropped during the post-exercise rest period.
