Abstract

Background: Patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorder (SSD) suffer from impaired cognitive functions. Previous studies in healthy individuals have shown that a single bout of physical exercise benefits cognitive functions. Such enhancements in cognitive function would be highly beneficial, particularly for patients with SSD, as cognitive abilities play a vital role in both mental and physical health.

Methods: We examined the impact of a single bout of aerobic exercise on cognitive function in 25 patients with SSD and 24 healthy controls. Participants performed a single bout of aerobic exercise adjusted to their individual fitness level. Cognitive function was examined pre- and postexercise via oculomotor tasks consisting of saccadic (i.e., pro- and antisaccades) and smooth pursuit eye movements (SPEM). Furthermore, long-term physical fitness and movement activity were assessed through an anaerobic threshold testing and self-reports of physical activity.

Results: As expected, SSD-patients showed higher antisaccade error rates and were impaired in both SPEM initiation and maintenance with higher disorganization levels being related to lower SPEM performance. Neither the patient nor control group benefited from a single bout of exercise in terms of improved saccade or SPEM performance. However, higher fitness levels and more extensive long-term movement activity were associated with lower antisaccade error rates in patients.

Conclusion: These findings do not demonstrate a single bout postexercise benefit in cognition; however, results indicate an association between greater cognitive control and long-term movement activity and thus underscore the importance of conducting further investigations into long-term exercise interventions as a complementary therapeutic approach.

精神分裂症谱系障碍的认知控制与长期运动活动有关,而不是单次运动。
背景:精神分裂症谱系障碍(SSD)患者的认知功能受损。先前对健康个体的研究表明,一次体育锻炼有益于认知功能。这种认知功能的增强将是非常有益的,特别是对于SSD患者,因为认知能力在精神和身体健康中都起着至关重要的作用。方法:我们研究了25例SSD患者和24例健康对照者单次有氧运动对认知功能的影响。参与者进行了一次根据个人健康水平调整的有氧运动。通过眼动任务检测运动前后的认知功能,包括跳眼运动(即,支持和反对跳眼运动)和平滑追求眼动(SPEM)。此外,通过无氧阈值测试和身体活动自我报告来评估长期身体健康和运动活动。结果:正如预期的那样,ssd患者表现出更高的抗跳高错误率,并且在SPEM启动和维持方面都受到损害,较高的紊乱水平与较低的SPEM表现有关。患者和对照组都没有从单次运动中受益,就改善扫视或SPEM表现而言。然而,较高的健康水平和更广泛的长期运动活动与患者较低的抗眼跳错误率相关。结论:这些发现并不能证明运动后对认知的单一益处;然而,研究结果表明认知控制与长期运动活动之间存在关联,因此强调了对长期运动干预作为补充治疗方法进行进一步研究的重要性。

期刊介绍: The original papers published in the European Archives of Psychiatry and Clinical Neuroscience deal with all aspects of psychiatry and related clinical neuroscience. Clinical psychiatry, psychopathology, epidemiology as well as brain imaging, neuropathological, neurophysiological, neurochemical and moleculargenetic studies of psychiatric disorders are among the topics covered. Thus both the clinician and the neuroscientist are provided with a handy source of information on important scientific developments.
