| |



If talk of depression, then men are the group most reluctant to come to a psychologist to recognize her experience psychological disorders. This fact was conveyed by Siobhain McArdle from Dublin City University at the annual conference of the British Psychological Society's Division of Clinical Psychology, last December in the UK.

McArdle and his team studied 104 men aged 18-40 years. The men were then divided into three groups. First, the group who do sports individually. Second, those who exercise group then completed with cognitive behavioral-based therapy or cognitive behavioral therapy. The third group did not do anything.

Especially for the second group, the chosen sport is football, using the Back of The Net, a simulation game of football that his strategy is then applied in everyday life. The strategy in question is problem solving, communication, and determination of target or goal setting.

The three groups were observed before, during, and after exercise performed within 8 weeks of study. The group that showed reduced symptoms of depression are those who do simulation Back of The Net. "The spirit of togetherness that was adopted to solve the problem of physical activity was able to give an idea of the young people to get out of trouble with a healthy way," said McArdle.

Not content there, McArdle and his team then conducted further research. This is in progress is done to see how community-based activities should be made in order to really benefit the formation of their character. If the pattern of intervention has been found, McArdle belief, this method is easier than forcing boys who are depressed to visit a rehabilitation center for emotion. "This could be an effective alternative way to form a mature character for them."
