目的：過去研究發現，個體從事身體活動可以降低 憂鬱情緒。自從 COVID-19爆發，各國政府建議採取社交距離等措施，包括自我隔離。這些措施雖降低疾病的擴散，卻也限制了個人在公共場所從事各種身體活動的機會。本研究旨在回顧分析疫情期間探討身體活動與 憂鬱情緒 的研究。 方法：本研究依據 PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) 的規範進行文獻蒐集。透過搜尋英文 (PubMed) 和中文 (華藝 ) 等電子資料庫，篩選以身體活動為自變項；憂鬱情緒 為依變項的實證研究。自 2020年 1月開始，截至 2022年 3月底，共篩選出 8篇符合條件的文獻。 結果： 8篇研究中包含 3篇美洲研究、 3篇歐洲研究、和 2篇亞洲研究；其中 6篇為橫斷性研究，採用的問卷方式有線上、社群與電訪； 2篇前瞻性研究，分別透過小米手環和加速規測量每日活動量。研究結果發現：身體活動量與 憂鬱情緒 呈現負相關，維持及增加身體活動，有助減緩憂鬱情緒。 結論： 本篇回顧顯示，個體從事身體活動量較高者， 憂鬱情緒 風險越低。

Purposes: Previous research found that individuals engaging in physical activity could reduce symptoms of depression. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, governments worldwide have recommended measures such as social distancing, including self-isolation. While these measures reduced the spread of the disease, they also limited individuals' opportunities to engage in various forms of physical activity in public spaces. This study aims to review and analyze research conducted during the pandemic that explored the relationship between physical activity and symptoms of depression. Methods: This systematic review adhered to the guidelines stipulated by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) to methodically identify and aggregate pertinent studies. A systematic literature search covering the period from January 2020 to the end of March 2022 was conducted across two electronic databases: PubMed for English-language journal articles and Airiti for Chinese-language journal articles. The search criteria included the keywords “physical activity” or “exercise” AND “depression” OR “mental health”. A total of eight eligible studies were included in this review. Results: Among the corpus of eight studies, three were conducted in the United States, three in Europe, and two in Asia. Six of these studies adopted a cross-sectional design, utilizing diverse questionnaires (online, community-based, and telephone interviews). Additionally, two studies embraced a prospective approach, monitoring daily physical activity using the Xiaomi Mi wristband and accelerometer, respectively. The collective findings of these studies revealed a discernible inverse correlation between levels of physical activity and the manifestation of depressive symptoms. Evidently, sustaining or increasing physical activity regimens could significantly contribute to the amelioration of depressive tendencies. Conclusions: This comprehensive review underscores the pivotal role of increased physical activity in mitigating the tendency for depressive symptoms. In the face of a challenging epidemic landscape, regular exercise remains a potent modality for preserving overall well-being.
