SSRI + LD

Eligible participants who have completed an adequate trial of SSRI monotherapy and all screening visits are randomly assigned to 24 weeks of SSRI augmentation with : a low dose of aerobic exercise (LD) or a public health dose of aerobic exercise (PHD). The acute phase of TREAD consists of the first 12 weeks of exercise augmentation intervention and includes: a) an individualized PHD- or LD aerobic exercise prescription; b) an empiricallybased behavioral intervention, including selfmonitoring tools and an interactive website, designed to maximize exercise adherence and minimize drop-out; and c) exercise instruction and supervised training sessions at The Cooper Institute (CI) as well as self-administered, home-based training sessions.
