Exercise to treat psychopathology and other clinical outcomes in schizophrenia: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Psychopathology and side effects of antipsychotic drugs contribute to worsening physical health and long-term disability, and increasing the risk of mortality in these patients. The efficacy of exercise on these factors is not fully understood, and this lack of knowledge may hamper the routine application of physical activity as part of the clinical care of schizophrenia.

Aims: To determine the effect of exercise on psychopathology and other clinical markers in patients with schizophrenia.
