Objetivo: Objetivo analisar os impactos do exercício físico e do treinamento resistido em relação à depressão.Foi feito pesquisas em revistas digitais, Scielo e Google Acadêmico até o ano de 2023. A literatura pesquisada indica uma forte relação de prevenção e tratamento da depressão por meio do exercício físico e também do treinamento resistido. Estes, podem ser uma ferramenta importante de auxílio no tratamento da doença, podendo até ser uma alternativa não medicamentosa. Entretanto, se faz necessário o acompanhamento de profissional de psicologia.Introduction: Resistance Training (RT) plays a fundamental role in the development of physical health and well-being. By engaging muscles in exercises that require effort against resistance, such as weight lifting, resistance training offers several health benefits. This practice also plays an important role in regulating body weight, since increasing muscle mass increases metabolism. Resistance training can be an effective strategy in preventing and treating medical conditions such as depression as well as osteoporosis, diabetes, heart disease and arthritis. A lack of it can lead to a series of negative consequences for the body, including loss of muscle mass, bone weakening, lower resistance, greater risk of injuries, weight gain, slower metabolism and lower functional capacity. This lack of resistance exercise can compromise general health and physical well-being. Physical exercise, including weight training, can help release endorphins and dopamine, hormones linked to happiness and well-being. Objective: Objective to analyze the impacts of physical exercise and resistance training in relation to depression. Methods: Search in digital magazines, Scielo and Google Scholar until the year 2023. The isolated descriptors “Depression”, “Physical Exercise”, “Resistance Training” were used for the search. Results: Found and used in the discussion Research indicates a strong relationship between the prevention and treatment of depression through physical exercise and resistance training. These can be an important tool to help treat the disease, and can even be a non-drug alternative. However, supervision by a psychology professional is necessary36ptAttribution-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazilexercicio fisicotreinamento resisitidodepressãoArtigo Científico
