Abstract
Although exercise is medicine for outpatients with schizophrenia, it is unclear if one-year adherence-supported exercise leads to a "tipping point", at which the exercise becomes a routine manifested as life-long training in the patient group.
Methods: Forty-eight outpatients (28 men/20 women: 35 ± 11 (mean ± SD) years) with schizophrenia (ICD-10: F20-29) were randomised to: 1) collaborative care group (TG), performing aerobic interval (AIT; 4 × 4-min treadmill walking/running at ∼90 % peak heart rate) and leg press maximal strength training (MST; 4 × 4 repetitions at ∼90 % maximal strength [1RM]) 2d·wk.-1 for 1-year, supported by transportation and training supervision; or 2) control group (CG). Peak oxygen uptake (V̇O2peak) and walking work efficiency were measured directly along with scaled 1RM/power, anthropometry, blood pressure, and blood samples at inclusion, 1-year, and 5-years post-intervention.
Results: The TG increased V̇O2peak (11 %, p < .01), scaled 1RM (40 %, p < .001), and power (26 %, p < .001) compared to CG after 1-year. At follow-up, no intergroup differences in these factors were observed (all p > .05). Both groups improved walking work efficiency (TG: 11 %; CG: 18 %; both p < .05) after 1-year (no intergroup difference, p > .05), but not at follow-up (both p > .05). At follow-up, HDL (high-density lipoprotein)-cholesterol (-15 %, p < .01) and glucose (26 %, p < .01) decreased/increased(respectively) more in the TG than CG. No other intergroup differences were observed in anthropometry or blood samples.
Conclusion: 1-year adherence-supported high-intensity training improves V̇O2peak, 1RM, and power in outpatients with schizophrenia. However, the improvements in these factors key to longevity are not maintained after 5 years. These findings highlight the importance of long-lasting cost-efficient adherence support, ultimately affecting the population's prognosis.
期刊介绍:
As official journal of the Schizophrenia International Research Society (SIRS) Schizophrenia Research is THE journal of choice for international researchers and clinicians to share their work with the global schizophrenia research community. More than 6000 institutes have online or print (or both) access to this journal - the largest specialist journal in the field, with the largest readership!
Schizophrenia Research''s time to first decision is as fast as 6 weeks and its publishing speed is as fast as 4 weeks until online publication (corrected proof/Article in Press) after acceptance and 14 weeks from acceptance until publication in a printed issue.
The journal publishes novel papers that really contribute to understanding the biology and treatment of schizophrenic disorders; Schizophrenia Research brings together biological, clinical and psychological research in order to stimulate the synthesis of findings from all disciplines involved in improving patient outcomes in schizophrenia.
