Background summary
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed our society drastically. This affects everyone but might impact patients with a severe mental illness (SMI) even more. Physical activity can have a positive effect on psychiatric symptoms, quality of life, social and cognitive functioning and physical health in people with a severe mental illness (ref) and might be of use to mitigate the negative effects of the pandemic on the mental health of people with SMI. The aim of this study is to set up a videoconferencing sport intervention for people with SMI to investigate whether it is feasible for people with SMI to join in a videoconferencing sport intervention during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, we will estimate preliminary effects on symptom severity and quality of life.
Study objective
Exercise via live videoconferencing is feasible for people with SMI and might mitigate the negative effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health.
