Researchers say aerobic physical activity could benefit the cognitive functioning of people with schizophrenia.
The researchers - including Joseph Firth of the Institute of Brain, Behavior and Mental Health at the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom - publish their findings in the journal Schizophrenia Bulletin.
Schizophrenia is a mental disorder estimated to affect around 1.1 percent of American adults.
Symptoms of the disorder include hallucinations, delusions, abnormal thought processes, and agitated body movements.
