Sažetak
While psychiatric disorders are characterized by
emotional disturbances, cognitive dysfunction is
commonly encountered. Research evidence demonstrates
that physical activity (PA) and exercise affect cognition in
a number of psychiatric disorders. The best evidence
supports exercise in slowing age related decline and
rescuing cognitive function in dementing illnesses.
Research also suggests that PA and exercise may be
beneficial in improving cognition in schizophrenia,
depression, and other psychiatric disorders. For many
patients, a long period of physical inactivity and decline
may have preceded treatment. Thus PA and exercise
programs should follow an increasing progression of
intensity level while providing interesting and stimulating
variety of forms.
