- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that structured exercise is a practical way to improve physical health and well-being in people with psychotic disorders.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small feasibility study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply widely. It does not test whether exercise directly treats psychosis symptoms.
