5. Conclusions
schizophrenia
In conclusion, the aim of the present article was to provide a modification of sedentary behavior through aerobic and postural exercise in people with schizophrenia, in addition to observing its effects on physical and mental health. This study showed that both protocols were effective in this population, which are otherwise lacking in complementary therapies. The aerobic physical intervention improved physical health outcomes such as weight, BMI, blood pressure and more time exercising. The postural physical intervention improved the sedentary behavior (SIMPAQ and 6MWT) and quality of life. However, clinical studies are still needed to develop better evidence-based physical training programs for patients with schizophrenia, including greater accessibility and better protocols for types and intensities of exercises.
