Consensus supports recommending ≥150 min/week moderate activity in schizophrenia; leaves open cardio-metabolic outcome confirmation.
Vancampfort et al. (2011) conducted a systematic review in schizophrenia. Physical activity was evaluated on Cardio-metabolic risks. Despite insufficient evidence on cardio-metabolic outcomes, consensus recommends patients with schizophrenia follow adapted physical activity guidelines of at least 150 min/week of moderate activity.
