Summary

Introduction: Numerous studies support the practice of different physical exercise modalities as an effective treatment to address the different problems associated with schizophrenia, reporting that they result in significant improvements in patient symptoms and quality of life. Given the lack of studies comparing different types of training in controlled environments, the aim of this proposed study will be to compare the effects of three physical exercise programs (strength, aerobic, and mixed) on the symptoms, body composition, level of physical activity, and health-related quality of life of patients with schizophrenia.

Ethics and dissemination: This study was approved by the ethics committees for Biomedical Research at the CEU Cardenal Herrera University of Valencia in Spain (reference number: CEI18/215). Participants will be fully informed of the purpose and procedures of the study, and written informed consent will be obtained from every participant. The results from this study will be published in peer-reviewed journals and presented in scientific conferences.
