虽然身体健康的好处已被广泛记录，但很少有文献研究锻炼计划对精神疾病患者的影响。对6名诊断为精神分裂症的患者进行了一项探索性研究，这些患者参加了为期3个月的身体调节计划。研究结果表明，大多数参与者增加了他们的体力和耐力，并在体重控制和灵活性方面表现出改善。大多数患者报告健身水平增加，运动耐量，血压水平降低，感知能量水平以及上身和手部握力水平。
While the benefits of physical fitness have been extensively documented, there is a paucity of literature examining the impact of an exercise program on people experiencing a mental illness. An exploratory study was conducted with six patients diagnosed with schizophrenia who participated in a 3-month physical conditioning program. The findings suggest that most participants increased their physical strength and endurance and exhibited improvements in weight control and flexibility. The majority of patients reported increased fitness levels, exercise tolerance, reduced blood pressure levels, perceived energy levels and upper body and hand grip strength levels.
