Abstract

The aim was to verify the association between resistance training (RT) and related variables with anxiety and depression scores in Brazilian women. One hundred and fifty-four women practitioners of RT (40.9±8.6 years; 61.7±9.9 kg; 160.0±5.0 cm) and 113 non-practitioners (Control) participated in the study. Participants answered the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and sociodemographic questions related to physical exercise. Statistical differences between groups occurred for anxiety (RT: 0.75±0.48 vs. Control: 1.07±0.57; P<0.001) and depression (RT: 0.84±0.34 vs. Control: 1.02±0.40; P<0.001). Weekly RT frequency significantly predicted anxiety [?=-0.165; F(1.138)=6.39; P=0.05] and depression [?=-0.213; F(1.138)=6.46; P=0.01]. We concluded that Brazilian women who practice RT presented lower anxiety and depression scores when compared to non-practitioners. In addition, a higher weekly frequency of RT predicted lower depression and anxiety scores in this population.
