Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Students who are enrolled in Psychology 301 at the University of Texas at Austin, as well as adult and student volunteers recruited from the University of Texas at Austin campus and the greater Austin community, who are 18-65 will be eligible for this study.
- Participants must exercise less than 150 minutes per week doing moderate-intensity exercise consistently within the last two months.
- They will have at least mild anxiety, as measured with either a minimum score of 8 on the Beck Anxiety Inventory, or 5 on the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7.
Exclusion
- Those that are at moderate or high risk based on the pre-participation exercise health screening by the American College of Sports Medicine, or any participants that have been advised to not participate in exercise or aerobic activity by a qualified medical provider.
- Those with cardiovascular or pulmonary diseases, immunological diseases, neurological disorders, or have serious bone or joint problems.
- The Beck Depression Inventory's item on suicidality will be actively checked for a response of 2 or 3, with further screening given to those participants using questions from the C-SSRS to screen for current suicidal ideation and past suicidal behavior. Participants who endorse imminent intent or a plan to act on suicidal thoughts will be immediately referred to one of the IMHR's psychologists, or 911 will be contacted if they are at immediate risk of suicidal self-harm. Participants endorsing intent or a specific plan will not be included in the study. Participants expressing suicidal thoughts without imminent intent or a specific plan will be given resources to pursue mental health treatment.
