While there have been several reviews published on the beneficial effects of physical activity and mood disorders (eg, Daley, 2008), clinical research into the role of physical activity as an adjunctive treatment for persons with serious mental disorders, notably bipolar disorder, has been less common. This void probably reflects the historical fact that most research on the relationship between physical activity and mental health was conducted in exercise science labs, which may have precluded those with serious mental illness such as bipolar disorder from participating. Research on patients with serious mental illness was approached cautiously due to ethical concerns about aggravating patient symptoms or possessing adequate clinical training to manage potential psychiatric adverse events.Despite increased recognition over the past decade that bipolar disorder imposes a tremendous health burden on society due in part to the substantial risk for cardiovascular disease among persons with this condition (Fagiolini, Chengappa, Soreca, & Chang, 2008; Kupfer, 2005), behavioral health interventions designed to address these physical health disparities have lagged. The absence of basic or applied physical activity research studies for serious mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder is even more surprising given that physical activity is frequently recommended as an essential treatment for improving patient outcomes (American Diabetes Association, American Psychiatric Association, American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, & North American Association for the Study of Obesity, 2004; De Hert, et al., 2009; Fagiolini & Goracci, 2009) including in multi-component clinical trials (eg, Kilbourne, Post, Nossek, Drill, et al., 2008). Moreover, bipolar disorder engenders unique characteristics that make physical activity interventions important for this group. Notably, persons with this illness experience a wide range of functioning and alternating periods of depression and mania, the former leading to sedentary lifestyle and the latter leading to excessive behaviors such as overeating that can lead to weight gain.
