Anxiety and depression are the most frequently diagnosed psychological diseases showing a high co-morbidity. They have a severe impact on the lives of the persons concerned. The physical, mental and social benefits of exercise have been welldocumented. In Iran, mental disorders are one of the largest sources of disease burden. The aim of this paper is to critically review the currently available literature with respect to the association of physical activity, exercise and the prevalence and incidence of depression and anxiety disorders
