• Paste quoted text from the Methods section of the article on the next line. Do not include quotation marks or a bullet mark: 

The 6 groups were tested according to the combination of exercise intensity and frequency… Low intensity was defined as Brog RPE10–13 and below 59% of maximum heart rate. High intensity was defined as Brog RPE of 14–18 and 60–95% of maximum heart rate. The experiment was carried out for 6 weeks. 

• Write your translation on the next line: 

The students were split into 6 groups at different exercise intensities (low or high) within each group. The low-intensity exercises were easier as their heart and kept their heart rates lower, while high-intensity exercises were more challenging and raised heart rates significantly. All groups participated in this program for a total of six weeks. 

• Paste quoted text from the Introduction of the article on the next line. Do not include quotation marks: 

More and more studies have shown that physical exercise can effectively relieve anxiety symptoms and depressive symptoms of patients with anxiety disorder [8]. Moreover, exercise can also improve the sleep quality of patients [9] 

• Write your translation on the next line: 

Studies show that exercising can help reduce anxiety and depression, which also improves better sleep quality. Regular physical activity could do many things for someone’s health which includes improving one’s mood, helping students feel more rested, sleep better and overall having better mental and physical health. 

• Paste quoted text from the Results section in the article on the next line. Do not include quotation marks: 

..after training, the anxiety improvement of the high exercise intensity groups (M = 16.12, measurement time and exercise frequency was significant, F(2,81) = 24.213, p < 0.00 SD = 2.391) was higher than that of the low exercise intensity groups (M = 20.14, SD = 1.882) 

• Write your translation on the next line: 

This suggests that students who did higher-intensity workouts were seen to have better results and reduction in anxiety (with an average score of 16.12). For the low-intensity exercise group (with an average score of 20.14), they do not show the same results to reduce their anxiety. We can see that through the difference between the scores. 

• Paste quoted text from the Discussion section of the article on the next line. Do not include quotation marks: 

This study investigated the effects of exercise intensity and exercise frequency on anxiety, depression, and sleep quality in college students. Studies had shown that physical exercise can affect the anxiety, depression and sleep quality of college students, but there were differences in the extent of the effect. 

• Write your translation on the next line: 

The study found that the 6 week exercise program improved students’ mental health feeling less anxious, sleep better and show less signs of depression. Exercise intensity was important, with higher-intensity workout resulting in greater improvements in anxiety and depression than less frequent exercises. 

For future studies, it would be cool to see if the experiment would be effective with different age groups (such as children and seniors) as it had only been exclusively for college students in this study. Additionally, it might also be helpful to compare doing exercises individually rather than in groups to see which would work best for mental health. 

I found it quite challenging in the parts where it began to bring up numbers and statistics, such as the F-values and η2p in which I initially didn’t even know what those variables meant in the results of this experiment. I also found it difficult to easily read the graphs from figures 3-5 as it was not a common type of graph that you would see often as a lot of the lines start nearly around the same spots and end up in different directions, making it difficult to attempt to analyze the graph’s numbers.
