WALC干预旨在激励老年人锻炼。精神分裂症谱系障碍（SSD）患者面临类似的运动障碍。我们描述了WALC干预的理论基础以及我们如何将其适用于SSD。我们对17名SSD患者进行了适应性干预的可行性研究。适应性干预包括低强度拉伸，运动教育和运动提示。干预是可行的，并接受参与者;大约三分之二的所有群体参加了近一半的参与者参加了至少75%的群体后续研究应检查干预对未来运动行为的影响，目标是确定基于证据的干预措施，以增加该组的运动。(C)2010年爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
The WALC intervention was designed to motivate exercise in the elderly. Persons with schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSDs) face similar exercise barriers. We described theoritical underpinnings of the WALC intervention and how we adapted it for SSDs. We conducted a feasibility study of the adapted intervention in 17 persons with SSDs. The adapted intervention incorporated low intensity stretches, exercise education and exercise cues. The intervention was feasible and acceptable to participants; approximately two-thirds of all groups were attended and nearly half of participants attended at least 75% of groups Follow up studies should examine the effect of the intervention upon future exercise behavior, with the goal of identifying evidence based interventions to increase exercise in this group.
