Cardiovascular workout for Depression, Stress, and Anxiety

The goal of this study is to examine the relationship between mental health concerns (e.g., anxiety, depression, and stress) and PAUSE-Cardio, a 6-week moderate-intensity cardiovascular exercise intervention program for women's sport student-athletes transitioning into college and collegiate sport. Under Purposeful, Authentic, and Unifying Student-Athlete Experiences (PAUSE) programming, this study is a cardiovascular comparison intervention with matched aims and methods to the ACC-CRIA funded PAUSE-Yoga study. This longitudinal study examines the feasibility and effectiveness of PAUSE-Cardio to mitigate anxiety, depression, and stress.
