Diseño de un programa de educación de la actividad física para personas con enfermedad mental crónica

People with chronic mental illness require, because of deficits caused by their illness, a series of actions, programs and activities related to psychosocial rehabilitation that will improve their quality of life and equip them with greater autonomy. For this reason, we decided to develop a Program of Education in Physical Activity for People with Chronic Mental Illness (EMC). People suffering chronic mental illness are admitted to various centers, they tend to adopt a sedentary lifestyle unsuitable for their vital needs as adults. This program is intended not only that patients carry out the optimal and productive but can adopt different habits, customs and attitudes and achieve motivation that leads them to incorporate physical activity into their daily lives enabling obtaining benefits to biological, psychological and social level.
