Abstract

The present study has as its theme the importance of aerobic physical exercise in controlling anxiety. Thus, it is of great importance to practice physical activity to build a healthier lifestyle, regardless of whether you already have any type of disease or not. The aim of the study was to analyze whether aerobic exercise can help in the non-pharmacological treatment of people who have anxiety disorder. For this purpose, an exploratory bibliographic research was carried out.

In the results obtained from the articles and books included in the analysis, it can be seen that the practice of physical activity, more specifically aerobic exercise, produces a significant result in the treatment of anxiety and depression, although exercises performed with the use of medications showing results more protected than those who performed only activities without the use of medication. Finally, physical exercises associated with drug treatment and psychotherapy can act as an adjunct to the treatment of anxiety and depression, bringing benefits to patients with these pathologies.
