Background and Purpose: Schizophrenia is a chronic mental disorder in which positive and negative symptoms play an important role in its prognosis. Exercise-based interventions as a non-pharmacological treatment play a crucial role in rehabilitation and treatment management of negative symptoms and cognitive function of these patients due to its positive mental and physical effects. The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of different sport and exercise training on improving the negative symptoms and cognitive deficiences of patients with schizophrenia.
Methods: To find documents related to the effect of exercise on improving the negative and cognitive symptoms of schizophrenia, keywords were created and searched in the databases of Google, Yahoo, Science Direct and SID. They were then divided into three areas: "The effect of exercise on schizophrenia," Improving cognitive function through exercise "and treatment of negative symptoms of schizophrenia with exercise program".
Fidings: The results showed that different exercise programs such as aerobic, strength and yoga exercises are effective in improving the negative symptoms of schizophrenia and cognitive function. Also, the results showed that drug treatment has no effect on improving the negative symptoms in schizophrenic patients. Aerobic exercise improves attention, processing speed, memory and performance. Aerobic exercise plays an important role in combating cognitive impairment, memory, hippocampal volume, and nerve flexibility. Yoga, in particular, improves long-term memory.
Conclusion: Exercise can improve clinical signs, global functioning, quality of life and depressive symptoms in schizophrenia. In particular, the greatest effect has been observed with the improvement of negative symptoms, which has promising consequences for the future performance outcomes of these patients.
