Effects of high-intensity aerobic exercise on psychotic symptoms and neurocognition in outpatients with schizophrenia: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
Engh, John Abel; Andersen, Eivind; Holmen, Tom Langerud; Martinsen, Egil Wilhelm; Mordal, Jon; Morken, Gunnar; Egeland, Jens (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Background: The focus in recent years on physical inactivity and metabolic disturbances in individuals with schizophrenia raises the question of potential effects of physical activity. Physical activity has shown beneficial ... -
Objectively Assessed Daily Steps—Not Light Intensity Physical Activity, Moderate-to-Vigorous Physical Activity and Sedentary Time—Is Associated With Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Patients With Schizophrenia
Engh, John Abel; Egeland, Jens; Andreassen, Ole Andreas; Bang-Kittilsen, Gry; Bigseth, Therese Torgersen; Holmen, Tom Langerud; Martinsen, Egil Wilhelm; Mordal, Jon; Andersen, Eivind (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)People with schizophrenia often have an unhealthy sedentary lifestyle with low level of physical activity and poor cardiorespiratory fitness—an important predictor of cardiovascular disease. We investigated the relations ... -
