Summary

This study investigate the effect of high-intense aerobe exercise training (HIT) on clinical and physiological parameters (anxiety, somatisation, cortisol, alpha amylase, "mismatch negativity", loudness dependence auditory evoked potentials) in patients with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Half of patients will receive HIT, while the other half will receive aerobe exercise of low intensity.

Conditions

  • Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)

Interventions

OTHER

high-intensive aerobe exercise

Aerobe bicycle ergometer training within 77-95% of maximum oxygen consumption; duration of each training session: 20 minutes; frequency of training: 6 sessions within 12 days

OTHER

low-intensive aerobe exercise

Aerobe training below 70% of maximum oxygen consumption (including light stretching and simple exercises adapted from yoga figures); duration of training session: 20 minutes; frequency of training: 6 sessions within 12 days
