Exercise improves cardiorespiratory fitness in people with schizophrenia: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Abstract
Objective To determine if exercise can improve cardiorespiratory fitness in people with schizophrenia.Methods Major electronic databases were searched systematically until May 2015. A meta-analysis calculating Hedges' g statistic was undertaken.Results Engaging in exercise improves cardiorespiratory fitness in people with schizophrenia (g = 0.40, 95% CI = 0.16–0.64, p = 0.001, N = 7, n = 77). Data from four controlled studies demonstrated that exercise (n = 53) significantly improves cardiorespiratory fitness compared to control groups (n = 48) (g = 0.43, 95% CI = 0.05–0.82, p = 0.028).Conclusions Considering the current findings, the multidisciplinary treatment of schizophrenia should include a focus on both, improving "fitness" and reducing "fatness", in order to reduce all-cause mortality.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
