Abstract
Research into the efficacy and safety of exercise as an intervention in schizophrenia is required to support the development of detailed, population-specific guidelines. Larger randomised studies are required before any definitive conclusions can be drawn. Although studies included in this review are small and used various measures of physical and mental health, results indicated that regular exercise programmes are possible in this population, and that they can have beneficial effects on both physical and mental health. Future research should address issues of programme adherence.
