Abstract
Objective: We investigated whether levels of current physical activity (PA) contribute to the established relationship between cardio-respiratory fitness (CRF) and cognition in schizophrenia, and whether brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) or its precursor proBDNF mediate this relationship. Method: Sixty-one outpatients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders participated. Neurocognition was assessed with the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale...
