People with a mental illness have very poor physical health parameters when compared to the general population. This paper outlines an exercise programme developed to improve overall fitness and curb weight gain. Seventy-two mental health service inpatients completed the general or individualised gym exercise programme within 12 weeks. Baseline and end of course physical health parameters were recorded, along with test results on a number of fitness, strength and agility tasks. No statistically significant differences were found between average pre and post programme weight scores, and weight did not increase over time. Significant differences were found on strength and agility tasks, and a decrease was observed in average resting and post exercise heart rates. Average blood pressure did not change, but the number of baseline readings indicating hypertension reduced from 14 to 8 people. The exercise programme was successful in improving the physical capacity of the individuals who participated.
与一般人群相比，患有精神疾病的人身体健康参数非常差。本文概述了一项旨在提高整体健康水平和控制体重增加的锻炼计划。72 名精神卫生服务住院患者在 12 周内完成了一般或个体化健身房锻炼计划。记录了基线和课程结束时的身体健康参数，以及多项健身、力量和敏捷任务的测试结果。平均前后方案体重评分之间没有发现统计学上的显著差异，而且体重没有随时间增加。在力量和敏捷任务上发现了显著差异，并且平均静息和运动后心率下降。平均血压没有变化，但表明高血压的基线读数数量从 14 人减少到 8 人。锻炼计划成功地提高了参与者的身体能力。
