Adult (18-65) mental health consumers, engaged with an outpatient, hospital mental health team and referred to exercise services.
Diagnosed with at least one mental health disorder (e.g., psychotic, bipolar, personality, depressive, or anxiety disorder) and be deemed to have sufficient capacity to provide informed consent.; Adult (18-65) mental health consumers, engaged with an outpatient, hospital mental health team and referred to exercise services.
Diagnosed with at least one mental health disorder (e.g., psychotic, bipolar, personality, depressive, or anxiety disorder) and be deemed to have sufficient capacity to provide informed consent.
Exclusion criteria includes any circumstances that may impact on capacity to provide informed consent, when increasing physical activity does not align with treatment goals, or in which the exercise interventions are a safety risk for participants, including:
•a substantial cognitive disorder/deficit (consent),
•an involuntary community treatment order (consent),
•compulsive exercise behaviours (treatment goals),
•a diagnosis of a feeding or eating disorder (treatment goals),
•unstable or untreated cardiovascular disease (safety), or
•physical disability that will limit safety in exercise participation (safety).
Informal exercise history will not impact a consumer’s recruitment into this study; however, participants will be excluded if they have had a previous successful engagement with the community Exercise Physiology program provided at the mental health services within the previous 12 months (success defined by an engagement of a minimum 12-weeks with successful exercise discharge plan).
Participants will be excluded from participation in this trial if they have any reported history, or any clinical indication of compulsive exercise behaviours, or feeding-and eating disorders, as the goals of exercise therapy for these participants are different to the goals of exercise therapies provided in this research trial. These two exclusion criteria will be determined by information obtained from the participant referrer and intake assessment.
