Brief Summary

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

The study is a feasibility study of a combined high intensity aerobic and strenght exercise program for persons with psychotic disorders. The feasibility of the protocol will be investigated, in addition to the participants subjective experience with the participation.

Detailed Description

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

The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility of a 16 week physical exercise intervention combining strenght and aerobic training in group for patients with psychotic disorders. In addition, the feasibility of the test protocol and participants subjective experience with the intervention will be investigated.

Research shows positive effects of physical exercise for patients with psychotic disorders regarding maximal aerob training, maximal muscle strength, physical, cognitive and social functioning, and symptom levels. Effects and the degree of feasibility of physical exercise for patients with psychotic disorders are amplified by regarding their preferences and needs, and if they experience support and guidance during the intervention. Earlier studies have focused mostly on either strength og endurance training, or combined interventions of moderate intensity. We now want to investigate the feasibility of an invidually adjusted combined program of high intensity.

After the intervention, participants will be interviewed about their experience with participating.

NON_RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

As the main aim of the study is to investigate feasibility, no randomisation is done at this stage. The participants with psychotic disorder will be compared with participants with a psychiatric disorder (but no psychotic disorder).
