A new study in Sweden based on skiing revealed almost any kind of aerobic activity likely helps protect us against excessive worry and dread.

To better cope with all the recent dispiriting news about rising COVID-19 cases and so much else, you might want to get out and play in the snow , according to a new report.

So for the new study, which was published in Frontiers in Psychiatry, exercise scientists at Lund University in Sweden and other institutions decided it would be worthwhile to look into the long-term mental health of the thousands upon thousands of men and women who have raced Sweden’s famous Vasaloppet cross-country skiing event over the years.

The skiers, the researchers found, proved to be considerably calmer over the decades after their race than the other Swedes, with more than 50 per cent less risk of developing clinical anxiety. These good spirits tended to prevail among male and female skiers of almost any age – except, interestingly, the fastest female racers.
