Moderate-to-Vigorous Intensity Physical Activity and Severe Mental Illness

Twenty-five percent of the population worldwide will experience a severe mental illness during their lifetime (World Health Organization, 2017). These people present strong barriers to adhering to moderate and vigorous-intensity continuous training. It is fundamental to overcome these barriers for practicing moderate-to-vigorous physical activity by adding behavioural change techniques into physical activity interventions (Maurus et al., 2023), in order to design and implement sustainable interventions that empower people to engage in it. The overall aims will be to evaluate the efficacy of +moviMENT, a 28-week intervention program, designed to increase MVPA time in patients with SMI, and to assess the effects of the program on a range of indicators, in comparison with a 'usual care' control group.
