Abstract

The present article reports the use of an interval aerobic exercise program as an adjunct intervention in the context of cognitive behavioural therapy in a patient with panic disorder and agoraphobia. We describe the procedures used in the exercise program and also the positive results achieved regarding cardiac anxiety reduction and everyday anxiety reduction concerning activities that requested physical effort.
