Abstract

The present paper raises the question: what are the effects of regular bodybuilding practice on women already diagnosed with depression and / or anxiety? and aims to analyze the effects of bodybuilding practice in women with depression and / or anxiety. The methodological course traced from the approximation with the dialectical historical materialist method. Our research started from an experimental research whose locus was at BodyFit Academia, a gym located in Ananindeua / Pa, with 10 volunteers from 24 to 44 years old, where only 06 (six) completed a research that did not practice physical exercise for at least 06 (six) months prior to the intervention. The results demonstrate that the regular practice of bodybuilding in women with the diagnosis of depression and / or anxiety acts in the regression of disorders, because age is directly affected and reduces symptoms. Conclude the end of our research that bodybuilding practice has therapeutic effects in women already diagnosed with depression and / or anxiety.
