"InMotion - Physical Training With Creative Movement as an Intervention for Adults With Schizophrenia"

The intervention will be performed as a group activity twice a week during a 12-week period. Each group will include 4-6 participants under the guidance of two instructors, and a related party if needed or wanted from the participant. The exercise is partly accompanied with calm music and recorded nature sounds and partly made in silence listening to one's own bodily rhythm. The exercise consists of tasks related to cardio and strength training, balance, conscious breathing, body awareness, mental imagery (nature visualizations), flexibility, emotional expression, and movement anticipation together with the facilitator and fellow participants. All the tasks are practiced during a flow of 45- to 60-minute exercise without any major breaks. Complexity and physical intensity of the tasks will gradually increase over the 12-week intervention period.
