“…Moreover, future research should explore the effects of physical activity interventions on other clinically relevant outcomes including inflammatory markers [10], pain [33], osteoporosis [34] and the risk for falls and fractures [35]. Finally, the effect of physical activity in youth experiencing their first episode psychosis is distinctly lacking [36] and requires further investigation.…”

Purpose: Research has only recently started to consider the applicability of physical activity (PA) for people with schizophrenia. Although there is increasing evidence for the benefits of physical activity, this population remains generally physically inactive and sedentary. The aim of the current study is to highlight 10 pertinent physical activity research questions in people with schizophrenia.

“…Furthermore, individuals with SMI are often of low socioeconomic status and have poor access to healthcare [ 26 ]. Given what we now know, this issue needs to be addressed as aggressively and with the same urgency as their primary psychiatric diagnosis [ 27 ].…”

Physical activity preferences of individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder

BackgroundIndividuals with a severe mental illness (SMI) are at least two times more likely to suffer from metabolic co-morbidities, leading to excessive and premature deaths. In spite of the many physical and mental health benefits of physical activity (PA), individuals with SMI are less physically active and more sedentary than the general population. One key component towards increasing the acceptability, adoption, and long-term adherence to PA is to understand, tailor and incorporate the PA preferences of individuals. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine if there are differences in PA preferences among individuals diagnosed with different psychiatric disorders, in particular schizophrenia or bipolar disorder (BD), and to identify PA design features that participants would prefer.MethodsParticipants with schizophrenia (n = 113) or BD (n = 60) completed a survey assessing their PA preferences.ResultsThere were no statistical between-group differences on any preferred PA program design feature between those diagnosed with schizophrenia or BD. As such, participants with either diagnosis were collapsed into one group in order to report PA preferences. Walking (59.5 %) at moderate intensity (61.3 %) was the most popular activity and participants were receptive to using self-monitoring tools (59.0 %). Participants were also interested in incorporating strength and resistance training (58.5 %) into their PA program and preferred some level of regular contact with a fitness specialist (66.0 %).ConclusionsThese findings can be used to tailor a physical activity intervention for adults with schizophrenia or BD. Since participants with schizophrenia or BD do not differ in PA program preferences, the preferred features may have broad applicability for individuals with any SMI.

“…20 However, data on physical activity maintenance in FEP patients are currently lacking. 23 Although a longitudinal design would be ideal to answer this question, intentions to maintain engagement in physical activity can be indirectly captured through the assessment of the stages of change of the transtheoretical model (TTM). 24 The TTM provides a framework for categorizing a patient's readiness to change their behaviour and includes five stages.…”
