The high prevalence of depressive mental disorder along with its serious impacts requires a comprehensive treatment with pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches. Phy-sical exercise as a method of non-pharmacological therapy has been shown to be beneficial for the prevention and the cure of diseases. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of physical exercise on the level of depression in patients with mild and moderate depression in Surakarta Mental Hospital. This study was an experimental study. The results showed that overall exercise had a significant influence on the decrease in the level of depression (t = 7.375, p = .002). However, physical exercise did not have a significant effect on reducing depression levels in the group of mild depression (t = 1.858, p = .529). Several limitations of this study may lead to the results of this study were not entirely as hypothesized.
