This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing a new approach called exergaming — combining intense exercise bursts with interactive video games — to help improve thinking and memory problems in people with schizophrenia. Researchers believe that mixing these two activities might work better together than either one alone, since exercise can boost your brain's fitness while gaming helps your brain learn new coordination skills.
People with schizophrenia often struggle with thinking and memory problems that don't improve much with regular medications or therapy alone. This trial exists because early research suggests that exercise and active video games may each help with these thinking problems, and combining them might offer even better results.

If you join, you'll come to the clinic twice a week for 12 weeks. Each session lasts 45 minutes and combines high-intensity interval training (short bursts of intense exercise) with interactive gaming challenges that test your reflexes and coordination. You'll work one-on-one with a trained health professional who specializes in exercise, so they'll adjust the intensity to match your fitness level and needs.
