Overview
Correspondence to Dr Diego Munguia-Izquierdo; dmunizq@upo.es Background and purpose Severe mental disorders (SMDs), such as psychotic disorders, bipolar disorder and major depression, are among the leading causes of global mortality and disability.1 Individuals with SMD have a life expectancy of 10–20 years shorter than the general population, primarily due to preventable cardiometabolic conditions, such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.2 This risk is heightened by unhealthy lifestyles including low physical activity and prolonged sedentary behaviour, which significantly contribute to these outcomes.3 Interventions supervised by exercise professionals have proven to be effective strategies for enhancing overall well-being and quality of life. The programme not only designs exercise protocols to meet the specific needs of each individual but also provides training for healthcare professionals, caregivers and patients to integrate physical activity into treatment plans and daily routines, thereby ensuring that the benefits extend beyond direct intervention. [...]the programme emphasises the refinement of diagnostic and health assessment methods and the development of low-cost, practical solutions to identify vulnerabilities and prioritise interventions. Challenges and innovative solutions Individuals with SMD face significant barriers to adhering to exercise programmes, with high drop-out rates often attributed to a lack of support, motivation and challenges arising from their symptoms.5 This problem is further exacerbated by the limited training and resources available to mental health professionals, hindering the effective incorporation of exercise as a therapeutic intervention.
