Effect of combined aerobic and resistance training with self-selected intensity on clinical parameters and fitness in a patient with mixed anxiety and depressive disorder: a case report.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThis case study assessed the effects of a combined aerobic and resistance training intervention with self-selected exercise intensity in a patient with mixed anxiety and depressive disorder. CASE PRESENTATION: A 24-year-old Brazilian female patient (1.57 m, 62.6 kg), sedentary, with a clinical diagnosis of mixed anxiety and depressive disorder (F41.2 according to ICD-10) for 9 months participated in this case report study. Aerobic exercise and resistance exercise were performed within the same session, 5 days/week for 8 weeks. The physiological demand (heart rate), load, and psychophysiological responses were measured during the training sessions. Training compliance was 64.3% and self-selected exercise intensity was moderate for aerobic exercise and light for resistance exercise. Exercise sessions were subjectively perceived as pleasant and of moderate intensity. There were clinically significant improvements in depressive symptoms (ΔBeck Depression Inventory-II = -15), trace anxiety (ΔState-Trait Anxiety Inventory = -25), sleep quality (ΔPittsburgh Sleep Quality Index = -8), quality of life (ΔWorld Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire-Brief: +33.7), and depressive status assessed by a psychiatrist. Aerobic fitness (+7.7%) and muscle strength (+13.5%) improved after the 8 weeks of training.
conclusionCombined aerobic and resistance exercise with self-selected exercise intensity is a promising tool for improving clinical and fitness outcomes in patients with mixed anxiety and depressive disorder. While this case report offers valuable preliminary insights, further research featuring larger samples, control groups, robust study designs, extended intervention durations, and comprehensive follow-up assessments is essential to substantiate these findings.
