Methods: wesearched for relevant studies, published by 18 August 2022 on PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO andSPORTDiscus databases, that used a HIIT protocol, involving adults (≥18 years) with a diagnosis of amental disorder, participating in a HIIT or a control condition, and assessed for depressive symptoms.Results: Four studies accounting for 108 participants (n HIIT = 55; n comparison groups = 53) metthe inclusion criteria. Three out of the four studies included found significant improvements ofdepressive symptoms after 12 days to 8 weeks of intervention. However, there were no differencesto other forms of low-to-moderate continuous exercise in 2/3 studies. Conclusions: The limitedevidence suggests the effectiveness of HIIT interventions for improving depressive symptoms inpeople with mental illness. However, HIIT was not superior to other exercise treatments, although atrend for its superiority may be recognized. A number of methodological issues should be consideredin further interventions to better characterize and identify the most efficient HIIT modalities for thetreatment of depressive symptoms in these patients.
