Effects of exercise interventions on memory in depression: a three-level meta-analysis
Exercise may confer a small improvement in verbal memory among adults with depression, while no clear effect was observed for visual memory. However, further randomized controlled trials are needed to explore the impact of exercise on memory in patients with depression. Research plan was registered in international system evaluation platform PROSPERO (https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/) (CRD42023473393).
