However, ATQ and DAS scores showed no significant different inAE and C group; CBGT group significantly improve automatic thought (P = 0.001) and dysfunctional attitude (P = 0.001).Comparisons showed that GCBT provides a supportive atmosphere and concentrates on negative automatic thoughts and dysfunctional attitudes is more effective than aerobic exercise that increase physical activity and reduces depression physical symptom. So aerobic exercises can been considered as supplementary treatment not alternative.
