Resumo
A depressão é um distúrbio afetivo caracterizado por alterações químicas no cérebro, manifestando-se por meio de tristeza, pessimismo e baixa autoestima. A pandemia de COVID 19 e o distanciamento social impactaram significativamente a saúde mental e o bem-estar dos jovens acadêmicos, aumentando o estresse e o risco potencial para o aparecimento de transtornos mentais. A prática de atividade física tem sido associada a melhores resultados na saúde mental, diante disso, este estudo tem como objetivo apresentar e discutir a literatura existente sobre a influência da atividade física na depressão em jovens universitários, no período da influência de pandemia do COVID-19. Foi realizada uma revisão integrativa, com artigos selecionados nas bases de dado Pubmed e Scielo, utilizando os descritores “COVID 19/Depression/Young University Students/Physical Activity” e “COVID 19/Depression/Physical Activity”. Foram encontrados 80 artigos que submetidos aos critérios de exclusão resultaram em 15 artigos para análise e discussão. A prática regular de atividade física desempenha um papel importante na redução dos sintomas de depressão entre universitários, em que a atividade física de intensidade moderada mostrou associação a uma menor incidência e gravidade da depressão. No entanto, é necessário considerar fatores de risco adicionais, como estilos de vida negativos e características individuais. A pandemia de COVID 19 teve um impacto significativo na atividade física e na saúde mental dos universitários, destacando a importância de adaptar as estratégias de promoção da atividade física e saúde mental. Embora alguns estudos não tenham encontrado evidências consistentes, no geral, os resultados evidenciam a prática de atividade física como uma abordagem relevante para a redução dos sintomas de depressão em jovens universitários. Recomenda-se que futuras pesquisas explorem os mecanismos específicos pelos quais a atividade física afeta a depressão em universitários e desenvolvam abordagens inovadoras para promover a saúde mental nesse grupo. Ações preventivas e intervenções direcionadas são necessárias para apoiar os universitários na manutenção de uma boa saúde mental, especialmente durante períodos desafiadores, como a pandemia de COVID-19.
Depression is an affective disorder characterized by chemical imbalances in the brain, manifested through sadness, pessimism, and low self-esteem. The COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing have significantly impacted the mental health and well-being of young university students, increasing stress and the potential risk for the development of mental disorders. Physical activity has been associated with better mental health outcomes. Therefore, this study aims to present and discuss the existing literature on the influence of physical activity on depression among young university students during the COVID-19 pandemic. An integrative review was conducted, selecting articles from PubMed and Scielo databases using the keywords "COVID-19/Depression/Young University Students/Physical Activity" and "COVID 19/Depression/Physical Activity." A total of 80 articles were found, and after applying the exclusion criteria, 15 articles were selected for analysis and discussion. Regular physical activity plays an important role in reducing depressive symptoms among university students, with moderate-intensity physical activity showing an association with lower incidence and severity of depression symptoms. However, it is necessary to consider additional risk factors such as negative lifestyle habits and individual characteristics. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on physical activity and mental health among university students, highlighting the importance of adapting strategies for promoting physical activity and mental well-being. While some studies did not find consistent evidence, overall, the results support physical activity as a relevant approach for reducing depression symptoms in young university students. Future research should explore the specific mechanisms by which physical activity affects depression in university students and develop innovative approaches to improve mental health in this group. Preventive actions and targeted interventions are necessary to support university students in maintaining good mental health, especially during challenging periods like the COVID-19 pandemic.
