Abstract

Severe mental disorders (SMD) are a major contributor to mortality and one of the five leading causes of disability worldwide. Therefore, it is important to establish strategies aimed at improving the physical health in individuals with these disorders, with the aim of reducing the incidence of chronic diseases and promoting health improvement. Cardiorespiratory fitness and muscle strength, which are often impaired in individuals with severe mental disorders, are complementary and independent variables that are related to mortality risk. For this reason, it is necessary to improve the assessment of these parameters to identify vulnerable situations that require early intervention through physical exercise. This chapter examines the importance of physical fitness as a health factor and presents evidence for different physical exercise interventions aimed at improving physical fitness in individuals with SMD.
