ABSTRACT
Background:
This article aims to systematically evaluate the intervention effect of exercise on working memory in patients with depression.Methods:
Six Chinese and English databases were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about exercise on working memory in patients with depression. PEDro scale was adopted to evaluate the methodological quality of the included articles, GRADEpro scale was employed to evaluate the level of evidence for outcomes, and the Metafor Package in R 4.4.1 was used to analyze the combined effect size, subgroup analyses and publication bias.Results:
A total of 15 studies were included. The meta-analysis indicated that exercise had a statistically significant effect on working memory in patients with depression, with an effect size of 0.16 (95% CI [0.03-0.28], p = 0.02). Exercise type (F(3,34) = 1.99, p = 0.13), intervention content (F(1,36) = 1.60, p = 0.22), and exercise duration (F(1,36) = 0.05, p = 0.83) did not moderate the effect, whereas exercise intensity showed a moderating effect (F(2,35) = 8.83, p < 0.01). There was evidence of publication bias in the study results (t = 2.52, p = 0.02).Conclusion:
Exercise can improve the working memory of patients with depression, and its moderating effect is the best when having low-intensity and moderate-intensity. Research plan was registered in international system evaluation platform PROSPERO (https//www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/) (CRD42023475325).Palabras clave
