A systematic review of trials investigating strength training in schizophrenia spectrum disorders.
In: Schizophrenia Research, Vol. 192: pp. 64-68
Abstract
This systematic review analyzed strength training (ST) in patients with schizophrenia. Two independent reviewers searched PubMed and CENTRAL. Only two studies reported on the effects of isolated ST. ST with a single exercise did not improve psychopathology but walking performance. ST for several large muscle groups significantly improved muscle strength and psychopathology. To date, no treatment recommendations can be made for ST. Consistent with recommendations for healthy people combined strength and endurance training can be recommended for schizophrenia. For higher transparency regarding trainings aspects, we recommend for future studies to use the sport science checklist proposed in this paper.
