Focus: Exercise and physical activity as part of treatment for depression and other mental illness
Brendon Stubbs is an exercise scientist whose research has helped establish exercise as a treatment for mental illness, starting from clinical work on a psychiatric ward. Emphasizes personalised, enjoyable activity, consistency over intensity, and careful communication of what the evidence shows. Draws primarily from meta-analyses and trials, including his own, and is open about their limits, such as poor blinding and imprecise exercise doses.
