Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will investigate the effects of aerobic exercise on mental states, cognition, BDNF, and long-term outcomes in patients with bipolar disorder.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Multiple cognitive impairments are common in patients with bipolar disorder. Preliminary evidence shows that aerobic exercise might have positive effects in enhancing cognition and improving clinical symptoms in patients with mood disorders. This randomized controlled trial will investigate short-term (1 months) effects of aerobic exercise on cognition and clinical symptoms as well as the long-term (12 months) effects on decreasing the recurrence rate.
