Brief Summary

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

Previous studies have shown that cardiorespiratory fitness (how well the heart and lungs are able to function during physical activity) is often reduced in people with psychosis. The goal of this research study is to test the hypothesis that aerobic exercise can lead to small changes in brain functioning that can influence visual perception and attention in psychosis. The type of aerobic exercise used in this study is called Sprint Interval Training, or "SIT". Information from this study will help to develop interventions that enhance cognition and maximize the quality of life for persons living with psychosis.

The exercise procedure used is called SIT, which involves training rigorously on a stationary bike for a short period of time followed by a resting period.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Sprint Interval Training (SIT)

The 1-session SIT protocol will include "Work" bouts performed at maximal intensity targets. Three "Work" bouts will be performed at 20-second intervals separated by 2 recovery bouts consisting of 2 minutes of low-intensity cycling. The SIT session will employ a standardized warm up and cool down of 3 minutes at a self-selected light intensity, per current guidelines. SIT sessions will take 15 minutes to complete.

Intervention Type OTHER

Active arm-- exercise dictated by protocol

Stretching

Stretching will include a low-intensity range of motion and stretching exercises with session duration (15 minutes) being matched to SIT.
