“…A study with schizophrenia spectrum disorders found that barriers to exercise included physical health problems and disinterest and one's psychiatric illness [36]. Similarly, a pilot study found foot and back pain to be important negative predictors of functional exercise capacity in patients with bipolar disorder [37]. Our study found that participants' self-perception of health is also associated with participation in regular PA.…”

Purpose People with severe mental ill health (SMI) are less physically active and more sedentary than the general population. There is limited research investigating the correlates of physical activity (PA) in people with SMI impeding the development of successful interventions. This study aimed to assess the factors associated with regular participation of PA among a large sample of people with SMI. Methods The data for this study were collected from the 'Closing the Gap: Lifestyle Health and Wellbeing' (HWB) cohort that collected data through self-administered questionnaire from participants with SMI. Self-reported participation in regular PA was the main outcome variable. Potential predictors of PA were grouped as demographic, biological, psychological and behavioural variables. Multivariable logistic regressions were conducted considering PA participation as the dependent variable adjusted for possible correlated predictors. Results In total, 3287 people with SMI [mean (SD) age 47.7 (14.58) years, 59% male] were included; 38% reported undertaking regular PA and 61% wanted to undertake more physical activity. Multivariable logistic regressions showed that the following factors were associated with undertaking more regular PA: being male, aged 18-65 years, having a body mass index between 18.5 and 30 kg/m 2 , having better self-perceived general health condition, not having a health problem that limits activity, giving higher importance to maintain a healthy lifestyle, and eating more fruit and vegetables. Conclusions Having a better self-perceived general health and placing importance on maintaining a healthy lifestyle were important predictors of regular PA. Lifestyle interventions targeting increased PA among people with SMI should be shaped by their health perception and informed by their needs.

“…Bipolar disorder was associated with poorer functional exercise capacity. They walked a shorter distance (p o0.001), were less physically active (p ¼0.005) and reported more musculoskeletal pain (p ¼0.03) than controls (Vancampfort et al, 2015b). Patients had reduced speed of limb movement (p o0.001), explosive leg strength (p ¼0.003) and abdominal muscular endurance (p o0.001) .…”

BackgroundQuality of life of people with severe mental illness may be decrease by the high occurrence of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. Physical fitness emerges as a modifying factor in this population through physical activity and this modification could influence in the quality of life of this population. The aim of the present study is to determine the contribution of physical fitness to the quality of life of people with severe mental illness.MethodsIn the current study, a physiotherapist and an occupational therapist assessed 62 people with severe mental illness. Physical fitness was measured with a range of 11 fitness tests that covered flexibility, strength, balance, and endurance. To assess quality of life the EQ-5D-3 L scale was used, which measures five dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain-discomfort, and anxiety-depression).ResultsSignificant correlations are presented between the quality of life and primary variables of physical fitness (balance, endurance, and upper limb strength). Endurance explained 22.9% of the variance of the quality of life in people with severe mental illness. Functional reach added another 36.2% variance to the prediction of quality of life.ConclusionsThe results of the present study suggest that some variables of physical fitness are associated with quality of life in people with severe mental illness. The improvement in physical fitness of this population should be a primary objective.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02413164 “retrospective registered” Registered Febr 2017.
