Initially we approached depression in the search for its definition, its main symptoms and possible causes, as well ways of treatment. In the sequence we verify how the physical activity can help in the fight against the symptoms of this disease, as well as contribute significantly to its improvement. Thus, the objective of this study was to investigate the contribution of physical activity to the treatment of depression and as a specific objective, to investigate the most studied and recommended exercises in the treatment of depression.
