“…Except one: all regular educational materials for sports trainers mention the IMHD very marginally or do not mention it at all [34][35][36][37][38]. Although other specialist literature regarding movement and exercise therapy exists, this literature is limited to expert literature for readers with medical and paramedical backgrounds and applies only to the treatment and/or inhouse setting [39][40][41][42][43][44]. At the same time, trainers of sports groups and their characteristics are crucial factors for the functionality of a successful sports group [38,[45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55].…”

There is strong evidence that physical activities (PAs) are an important factor in increasing and maintaining mental health as well as in preventing relapse after mental health disorders. Physical activity is an important part of the treatment program in psychiatric hospitals. However, when individuals with mental health disorders (IMHD) leave the hospitals in Switzerland (CH), there are few possibilities to do physical activity in a given setting. One of them are voluntary sports groups for individuals with mental health disorders (SGPSY), which have been growing continuously in CH since 2016. Yet, little is known about these groups and their training settings. Therefore, the present study explores challenges, barriers, and enablers for participation in SGPSY from the point of view of the trainers of these groups. Additionally, as the sustainable implementation of SGPSY relies on the trainer, the study aims to identify reasons/motivations as well as the personality characteristics of the SGPSY trainers. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 trainers of SGPSY in CH during spring 2022. Interviews were audiotaped, transcribed, and analyzed using thematic analysis in nVivo. Participants identified several intrapersonal (lack of motivation and fitness, mood problems, etc.), interpersonal (conflicts between participants), and structural barriers (time/location) that hinder IMHD from participating in SGPSY. The participating trainer reported that trainer might be helpful in overcoming the barriers by supporting IMHD as enablers. They rate social skills to be essential for the successful management and organization of SGPSY, as well as the ability to set boundaries to protect one’s private life and sports skills expertise. The reasons for their engagement as trainers of SGPSY were the satisfaction of doing sports with IMHD and to improve the physical activities habits of IMHD. The findings of the study highlight the need to upskill the trainers of SGPSY in order to improve recruitment of the future trainers of SGPSY by focusing on the assessment of appropriate personality characteristics of trainers and their motives. Additionally, these findings should be integrated in the educational materials of Swiss disabled sports systems. Further research should validate the results from SGPSY participants’ point of view.

Abstract. Introduction: A new Swiss teaching aid – “Sport without Borders: People with Psychiatric disorders” – was published at the end of 2020 and then evaluated six months later. The main question of the present qualitative evaluation was to what extent different aspects of the three macro levels – design, content, and applicability of the teaching material – are assessed as appropriate by the current trainers of the voluntary exercise and sports groups for people with psychiatric disorders. Methods: For this purpose, eight ( N=8) semi-structured interviews (maximum variation sampling) were conducted in spring 2021 with the trainers of various sports groups for people with psychiatric disorders in Switzerland. The recorded interviews were subsequently transcribed and analysed with nVivo according to Thematic Analysis. Results: The interviewees rated the teaching material as very successful and necessary in all aspects (design, content, and applicability of the teaching material). Regarding applicability of the teaching material, the interviewees mentioned the potential for development and expansion of sports groups, and mentioned interesting possible applications and needs. Discussion & Conclusion: The results show that the current trainers of voluntary exercise and sports groups for people with psychiatric disorders are generally very satisfied with the teaching material. Compared to the existing literature in the context of physical activity and psychiatry, the current teaching material has significant language differences (e.g., avoiding lengthy and complicated sentences, minimum of academic terms) and is strongly oriented to the mass sports (lay)-coaches with none or low (para)-medical or academic background.

“…Neben den Auswirkungen auf das Körpergewicht und die körperliche Fitness zeigen S. Wolf et al [1] Die Lancet Psychiatry Commission [3] beleuchtet in ihren aktuellen Empfehlungen auch den Themenkomplex der "physical activity" für die Prävention und Behandlung der körperlichen Gesundheit von Menschen mit psychischen Erkrankungen. Neben der Beeinflussung des Körpergewichts, das für viele Betroffene zunächst als Hauptmotivator benannt wird, verweist das Expertengremium insbesondere auf den zentralen Aspekt der körperlichen Fitness, der sowohl bezüglich der Reduktion der Morbidität, aber insbesondere der Mortalität von hoher Relevanz ist.…”
