Physical Exercise for Cognitive Rehabilitation of Patients With Bipolar Affective Disorder: a Controlled and Randomized Study
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 16 Jul 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the impact of Physical Exercise (PE), as an adjuvant treatment, on the cognition of patients diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder who present cognitive impairments, as well as its impact on quality of life and functionality and its association with physiological variables. Our specific goals are: 1. Evaluate the effect of PE on the neuropsychological functions of attention, memory, verbal fluency, executive function and processing speed in patients diagnosed with BD who present cognitive impairments in these domains. 2. To evaluate the effect of PE on the quality of life and functionality of patients diagnosed with BD, as well as possible associations with cognitive functions. 3. To evaluate possible correlations between physiological variables, such as cardiorespiratory indices, strength and body composition, and improvements in cognitive functions, quality of life and functionality.
