ABSTRACT
Aim:
The purpose of this systematic review was to classify, compare and characterize selected types of physical activity having a positive impact on the course of the treatment of schizophrenia (including its long-term effects).
Material and Methods:
The literature review for this work was carried out in the scientific databases: PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science and EBSCO. The analysis and further description were developed based on the PRISMA protocol.
Results:
During the database analysis, 330 items of potential sources of knowledge were searched for to prepare a literature review on physical activity used in the treatment of schizophrenia. After the verification and qualification process, 17 items were included in the study.
Conclusions:
The inclusion of physical activity in the treatment of patients with schizophrenia had a positive effect on the perceived symptoms and ailments related to the course of the disease and supported the return of patients to society.
