Objective:

To develop a comprehensive knowledge database for exercise interventions in managing depression, facilitating personalized exercise prescription recommendations, thereby enhancing treatment efficacy.

Key Findings:
  • Compiled 769 research-derived exercise intervention protocols for depression, highlighting the diversity of approaches.
  • Proposed an expanded 'FITT-VPP' principle for exercise therapy, incorporating limited exercise periods to enhance adherence.
  • Emphasized structured organization and practical characterization of exercise intervention protocols to facilitate application.
Interpretation:

The PEPRKD-Depression database aims to support future research on personalized exercise therapy in depression by providing a structured resource for clinicians and researchers.

Limitations:
  • Excludes non-English publications and studies without specific exercise protocols, which may limit the database's comprehensiveness.
  • Focuses solely on original intervention research, potentially overlooking valuable insights from other types of literature.
Conclusion:

The database is designed to enhance the development of personalized exercise recommendations for individuals with depression, ultimately improving treatment outcomes.
