Study Summary
This study will evaluate the ability of aerobic exercise (AE) to improve cognition in people with schizophrenia. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two interventions: (1) aerobic exercise class (stationary bicycle, or "spin" class) for up to 45 minutes three times per week for 12 weeks, or (2) balance and stretching class for up to 45 minutes three times per week for 12 weeks.
Primary Outcome
Cognitive function will be assessed by using the MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB). It assesses seven key cognitive domains: processing speed, attention/vigilance, working memory, verbal learning, visual learning, reasoning and problem solving, and social cognition. The MCCB is a battery of tests with a computerized scoring system that produces T-scores, adjusted for age and sex, that are used by the MCCB software to create composite scores. The range of T-scores for a normal control po
