Uvod: Prekomerna telesna masa in debelost sodita med najpogostejše bolezni, povezane s sodobnim načinom življenja. Povečujeta tveganje za duševne motnje, hkrati pa lahko duševna stiska prispeva k pridobivanju telesne mase. Aerobna vadba ima pomemben vpliv na zmanjšanje telesne mase, prav tako pa se pogosto priporoča tudi kot sestavni del obravnave različnih duševnih motenj. Namen: Namen diplomskega dela je bil s pregledom literature proučiti vpliv aerobne vadbe na duševno zdravje pri odraslih s prekomerno telesno maso in debelostjo. Metode dela: Iskanje literature je potekalo v podatkovnih zbirkah PubMed in CINAHL za obdobje od leta 2020 do leta 2025. Pri iskanju literature smo posamično ali v kombinaciji uporabili naslednje ključne besede: vadba IN prekomerna telesna masa ALI debel ALI debelost IN depresija ALI kakovost življenja ALI anksioznost ALI duševno zdravje. Rezultati: V pregled literature je bilo vključenih šest randomiziranih nadzorovanih raziskav, ki so ustrezale vključitvenim kriterijem. V te raziskave je bilo vključenih skupno 386 preiskovancev, starih od 18 do 65 let, od tega 296 žensk. Vadbeni programi v izbranih raziskavah so vključevali različne vrste aerobne vadbe. Avtorji v pregledanih raziskavah poročajo o statistično značilnih pozitivnih učinkih aerobne vadbe na različne vidike duševnega zdravja odraslih s prekomerno telesno maso ali debelostjo. Raziskovalci prav tako navajajo, da je kombinacija aerobne vadbe z dieto lahko še učinkovitejša in trajnejša za izboljšanje duševnega zdravja v primerjavi z dieto samo. Razprava in zaključek: Ugotovitve pregledanih raziskav so enotne in kažejo, da aerobna vadba izboljšuje različne vidike duševnega zdravja pri odraslih s prekomerno telesno maso in debelostjo. Ne glede na vrsto aerobne vadbe, starost in spol posameznikov je ta povzročila izboljšanje znakov depresivnosti in anksioznosti ter izboljšanje samopodobe in kakovosti življenja. Najpomembnejši dejavnik ni vrsta aerobne vadbe, ampak to, da je vadba redna, strukturirana in prilagojena posamezniku. V prihodnjih raziskavah bi bilo treba meritve opravljati skozi daljše časovno obdobje, uporabiti enotna merilna orodja in vključiti večje število preiskovancev.

Izvleček

Introduction: Overweight and obesity are among the most common diseases associated with modern lifestyles. They increase the risk of mental disorders, while psychological distress can also contribute to weight gain. Aerobic exercise has a significant impact on weight loss and is often recommended as part of the treatment for various mental disorders. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis was to examine, through a literature review, the effect of aerobic exercise on mental health in adults with overweight and obesity. Methods: The literature search was conducted in the databases PubMed and CINAHL, for the period from 2020 to 2025. The literature search was conducted using the following keywords, either independently or in various combinations: exercise AND overweight OR obese OR obesity AND depression OR quality of life OR anxiety OR mental health. Results: Six randomized controlled trials that met the inclusion criteria were included in the literature review. A total of 386 participants aged 18 to 65 years were involved in these studies, including 295 women. The exercise programs in the selected studies involved various types of aerobic exercise. The authors of the reviewed studies reported statistically significant positive effects of aerobic exercise on various aspects of mental health in adults with overweight or obesity. The researchers also noted that combining aerobic exercise with a diet can be even more effective and sustainable for improving mental health compared to diet alone. Discussion and conclusion: The findings of the reviewed studies are consistent, indicating positive effects of aerobic exercise on various aspects of mental health in adults with overweight and obesity. Regardless of the type of aerobic exercise, it has led to statistically significant improvements in mental health, particularly in areas such as depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and quality of life. The most important factor is not the type of aerobic exercise, but rather the exercise is regular, structured, and personalized. Future studies should include measurements over a longer period of time, use standardized measurement tools, and involve larger sample sizes.
