Despite evidence for both physical and mental health benefits achieved through regular exercise, most Americans fail to meet minimum recommendations. Altering the behavioral contingency from a focus on long-term health benefits to immediate mood benefits represents a novel method for exercise promotion. The current study examined a single-session exercise-for-mood intervention against two time-matched comparison conditions in 152 patients with serious mental illness attending a partial hospital program, a population marked by significant health disparities. This intervention was compared to a standard exercise-for-fitness intervention and a time-matched no-exercise control. Among patients with high levels of exercise prior to the partial hospital program, the exercise-for-mood intervention yielded significant increases in exercise. Implications for exercise promotion interventions among psychiatrically ill patients are discussed.
尽管有证据表明定期锻炼对身心健康有益，但大多数美国人未能达到最低建议标准。将行为应急从关注长期健康益处转变为即时情绪益处是一种促进锻炼的新方法。本研究在152名参加部分住院项目的严重精神疾病患者中，对单次情绪锻炼干预与两个时间匹配的对照条件进行了检验，这一人群存在显著的健康差异。将该干预与标准健身锻炼干预和时间匹配的无锻炼对照组进行了比较。在参加部分住院项目之前锻炼水平较高的患者中，情绪锻炼干预使锻炼量显著增加。文中讨论了对精神病患者锻炼促进干预措施的启示。
