Background:

Schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSDs) are linked to health risks, including obesity from medications.
Individuals with SSDs exhibit low adherence to exercise regimens.
Few motivational interventions for exercise have been tested in this population.

Purpose of the Study:

To examine the effects of the Walk, Address sensations, Learn about exercise, Cue exercise behavior for persons with SSDs (WALC-S) motivational intervention on exercise behavior.
To assess the intervention's impact on exercise adherence in patients with SSDs.

Main Methods:

Eighty outpatients aged 18-68 with SSDs were recruited.
Participants were randomly assigned to a 4-week WALC-S intervention or a control group.
All participants engaged in a 16-week walking group post-intervention.

Main Results:

Primary measures include attendance, persistence, and compliance in the 16-week walking group.
The study aims to provide data for effect size estimation and sample size calculations for future research.

Conclusions:

The study design and rationale for the WALC-S intervention are described.
Findings will inform the development of effective exercise interventions for individuals with SSDs.
