Summary

The association between adequate amount of physical activity and good health is well established and for children and young people, and sufficient physical activity is an important factor for normal growth and development. Contrary, physical inactivity is associated with higher symptom pressure of mental disorders. Adolescents with mental disorders report to be less active compare the general population, with potentially increased risk of health and lifestyle diseases. This project aims to provide new knowledge on the degree of physical activity, motivation for physical activity and subjective perception of health in adolescents in need of mental health care. Further, this project aim to provide possible solution on how to increase physical activity in this patient group. Thus, this project has the potential to impact future guidelines for mental health services for adolescents in need of mental health care.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Exercise training

Session 1: Consist of high intensity interval training performed on spinning bikes. An exercise physiologist will supervise the participants to perform a light 10 min warm-up, followed by 4 min working periods (intervals) interspersed by 3 min active breaks. The intensity should be 85-95% of estimated peak heart rate, corresponding to approximately 16 on the Borg scale (17). There will be a maximum of 10 participants in each group, depending on how many patients who are recruited for each of the two inclusion periods.I In addition, participants are encouraged to participate in the physical education at school and encouraged to perform exercise during the weekend, either with their family or friends.
