Exercise has long been recognized for its physical health benefits, but its effects on mental health are equally profound. This paper explores the impact of different types of exercise—cardiovascular, strength training, flexibility exercises, and mind-body practices—on various aspects of mental health, including mood, anxiety, depression, and cognitive function. By reviewing existing literature and empirical studies, this paper aims to provide a comparative analysis of how these exercise modalities influence mental health outcomes, offering insights into the most effective exercise types for specific mental health benefits.
