Summary

RATIONALE: Exercise may improve the mood and cognition in young people.

PURPOSE: It has been well-known that physical exercise can generally benefit the mental health. However, most evidences that physical exercise improves psychiatric symptoms come from retrospective or cross-sectional studies. Moreover, the studies on the effect of physical exercise in the young adults' mental health were limited. This randomized-controlled trial aims to determinate the effects of a chronic and aerobic exercise on the mood and cognition of young people.
