Health Education Programme Through Physical Exercise for People With Severe Mental Disorders — HEPPE-PSMI  

Obesity Clinical Trial

Official title: Development and Evaluation of a Health Education Programme Through Physical Exercise for the Development of Autonomous Physical Activity Habits in People With Severe Mental Disorders

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to [learn about, test, compare etc.] in individuals with severe mental disorders and obesity comorbid. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Are inflammatory activity, oxidative and vascular damage and metabolic mechanisms, as well as neurocognitive and functional performance, related to different physical exercise interventions? - Do inflammatory, oxidative stress and cardiometabolic biomarkers predict neurocognitive improvement after physical activity training? Participants will guided-exercise of moderate intensity and frecuency, and incentive of autonomous physical activity proposals by the specialist; guided physical activity group (GPAG), or (b) 12 weeks of an exercise program standard physical activity without guided and incentives; standard physical activity group (SPAG). If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare GPAG and SPAG to see if inflammatory, oxidative stress, and cardio-metabolic biomarkers improve neurocognitive performance after physical activity training

Clinical Trial Description

The psychiatric disorders and obesity comorbidity is related to neurocognitive impairment and inflammation. Exercise is crucial to improve and maintain healthy lifestyles. This randomized controlled trial tested the efficacy of aerobic exercise as promoter of neurocognitive improvement across psychiatric disorders and OB comorbid. Participants (n=29) received brief healthy lifestyle counseling and were randomized to 12 weeks of guided-exercise of moderate intensity and frequency, and incentive of autonomous physical activity proposals by the specialist; guided physical activity group (GPAG) (n=10) or 12 weeks of exercise standard physical activity without guided and incentives; standard physical activity group (SPAG) (n=19). Peripheral blood biomarkers of inflammation, oxidative stress, vascular mechanisms and metabolic activity, as well as neurocognitive and functional performance were assessed twice over after and before treatment. Mixed one-way analysis of variance and linear regression analyses were performed. ;
