Resumen

Purposes: To examine the habitual physical activity levels and their relationship with mood disorders (anxious and depressive symptoms) in young healthy adults and evaluated sex differences for these variables. Methods: A total of 297 participants (144 women) answered the following questionnaires: Baecke questionnaire to evaluate habitual physical activity level; State–Trait Anxiety Inventory, to evaluate anxious symptoms; and Beck Depression Inventory, to evaluate depressive symptoms. Results: There was a significant negative correlation between habitual physical activity levels and depressive symptoms (rho = -0.132 “small effect”, p = 0.023), trait anxiety levels (rho = -0.205 “small effect”, p < 0.001), and state anxiety levels (r = -0.216 “small effect”, p < 0.001) of the participants. However, there was no significant difference (p > 0.05) between men and women correlations for all investigated variables. Men presented higher absolute total (p < 0.001, d = 0.549 “medium effect”) and mean (p < 0.001, d = 0.515 “medium effect”) habitual physical activity level, lower trait (p < 0.001, rB = -0.342 “medium effect”) and state (p < 0.001, d = -0.483 “small effect”) anxiety levels, and lower depressive symptoms (p = 0.007, rB = -0.181 “small effect”) than women. Conclusion: Habitual physical activity that is characterized by unstructured pattern seems to be inversely related to mood disorders.
