Aerobic interval training in standard treatment of outpatients with schizophrenia: A randomised controlled trial
Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica Oct 11, 2019
Brobakken MF, Nygård M, Güzey IC, et al. - In this randomized controlled trial, researchers assessed the feasibility and impacts of integrating aerobic interval training (AIT) in standard care of outpatients with schizophrenia on aerobic capacity and conventional cardiovascular disease risk factors. According to findings, the training group (TG) and control group (CG) were completed by 16/25 and 18/23 of 48 outpatients, respectively. AIT, in combination with adherence support, is feasible for outpatients with schizophrenia, improved V̇O2peak, and can be incorporated into standard care. No intergroup difference was observed in weight, BMI, waist circumference, blood pressure, lipids or glucose at the posttest. Weight and BMI in the CG rose without any improvement in the TG.
