Sportangebote bei psychischen Erkrankungen: Wie wir als Behandelnde gezielt unterstützen können

Zusammenfassung

Hintergrund

Trotz der positiven Effekte körperlicher Aktivität sind Menschen mit psychischen Erkrankungen oft wenig aktiv. Die Empfehlungen sind uneinheitlich und schwer umsetzbar.

Zielsetzung

Untersucht wurden Sportverhalten und Bedarf an Sportangeboten während und nach stationärer Behandlung, um konkrete Empfehlungen für den klinischen Alltag abzuleiten.

Methodik

Für die vorliegende Umfrage wurden Patientinnen und Patienten der psychiatrischen Klinik der Universität Augsburg via Flyer/QR-Code rekrutiert.

Ergebnisse

47 Patientinnen und Patienten nahmen teil. Über 70% treiben regelmäßig Sport. Ebenfalls über 70% haben Interesse an einer Peer-Sportgruppe, wobei die Rahmenbedingungen möglichst niedrigschwellig gestaltet sein sollten (z.B. ohne Voranmeldung). Kraftsport und moderate Intensitäten wurden gegenüber Ausdauersport bevorzugt.

Diskussion

Die Ergebnisse ergänzen die Bewegungsempfehlungen der Weltgesundheitsorganisation. Kraftsport und leicht verfügbare Angebote könnten die körperliche Aktivität fördern.

Abstract

Background

Despite the positive effects of physical activity, people with mental illness often remain inactive. Exercise recommendations are inconsistent and challenging to follow.

Objectives

This study assessed exercise behavior and the need for programs during and after inpatient treatment to develop clinical recommendations.

Methods

Patients from the psychiatric clinic at the University of Augsburg were recruited via flyer/QR-Code.

Results

A total of 47 patients participated in this survey. Over 70% exercise regularly, and over 70% are interested in peer-sports-groups with low-threshold conditions (e.g. no prior registration required). Strength training and moderate intensity training were favored over endurance sports.

Conclusions

Our findings complement the World Health Organization’s exercise recommendations. Strength training programs and accessible options may promote physical activity in this population.
