| Sumario: | Mats Hallgren,1 Davy Vancampfort,2,3 Brendon Stubbs4,5 1Department of Public Health Sciences, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden; 2Department of Rehabilitation Sciences, 3University Psychiatric Centre – KU Leuven, KU Leuven – University of Leuven, Leuven, Belgium; 4Department of Physiotherapy, South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, 5Department of Health Service and Population Research, Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, King’s College London, London, UK In a recent perspectives article, Gerber et al argue persuasively that more systematic efforts are needed to utilize the considerable treatment potential of exercise in psychiatric care.
