Summary

Physical activity has many potential mood enhancing benefits, and may be as effective as anti-depressants and psychological therapies for treating depression and low mood. However, getting people with depression to become more active is challenging. Behavioural Activation (BA) is an evidenced based psychotherapeutic treatment that focuses on increasing exposure to positive environmental stimuli which could provide an effective delivery mechanism for increasing physical activity for people who are more sedentary than the general population. The purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility of delivering a theory informed online intervention combining physical activity and BA (eMotion) to people with depression, and to examine its effects on depressive symptoms and physical activity.
