Abstract :
The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of aerobics exercise on happiness and willing to communicate in depressed women. The research method was experimental with pre-test-post-test and control group. The statistical population consisted of depressed women who referred to counseling centers and psychiatric offices in 2017. Based on clinical interviews, DSM-5 diagnostic criteria, obtaining a standard deviation higher than the mean in the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), include and exclude criteria were selected. They were matched in terms of age, sex, socioeconomic status, lack of acute physical and psychological diseases, and other variables considered in this study. 30 of them were randomly selected and randomly divided into experimental and control groups. The instruments used included the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the Newfoundland Happiness Scale (Monsh), and the Enthusiasm for Communication Scale. The experimental group participated in sports program that included aerobics exercise for 12 weeks, three hours each week, but no intervention was performed on the control group. All subjects completed the pre-test scales of happiness at Newfoundland University and the willing to communicate in the two pre- and post-test stages. The results revealed that there was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in terms of happiness and willing to communicate (p <0.001). The rate of happiness and willing to communicate significantly increased in experimental group in comparison with pretest and control group. Therefore, it can be said that bodybuilding and aerobics increase happiness and the willing to communicate with depressed women.
