Sixty-eight participants were randomly assigned to Cognitive Training plus Exercise (CT&amp;E,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">N<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200937) or Cognitive Training alone (CT,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">N<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200931). All participants were also randomly assigned to either oral risperidone or paliperidone palmitate (PP1M) in a concurrent antipsychotic medication study. All participants were provided four weekly sessions of internet-based cognitive training conducted in a group format for 6\u2009months, during which half were randomized to receive a 150\u2009min\/week aerobic exercise program. Then participants received 6 additional months of treatment at half of the psychosocial intervention frequency. Reality Distortion, the mean of BPRS ratings of Unusual Thought Content and Hallucinations, was averaged over all available BPRSs during the 3-month pre-baseline period and over four 3-month time periods during the 12\u2009months of intervention. The proportion of BPRS administrations wherein either Unusual Thought Content or Hallucinations was rated &gt;4 was used as a measure of breakthrough psychotic symptoms. Reality Distortion significantly decreased over time for the CT&amp;E group compared to the non-Exercise (CT) group,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">F<\/jats:italic>\n                    (4, 208)\u2009=\u20092.9,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009.02.

The two medication groups did not significantly differ on either positive symptom outcome, and there were no three-way interactions. Our findings suggest that the enhancing effect of adding aerobic exercise to cognitive training extends beyond cognitive gains and includes positive psychotic symptoms.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/01454455251371021","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,10]],"date-time":"2025-09-10T12:19:40Z","timestamp":1757506780000},"page":"430-449","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Aerobic Exercise Enhances the Impact of Cognitive Training on Positive Symptoms After a First Episode of Schizophrenia"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"49","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0587-7285","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kenneth L.","family":"Subotnik","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of California, Los Angeles, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joseph","family":"Ventura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of California, Los Angeles, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sarah C.","family":"McEwen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"atai Life Sciences, Berlin, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luana R.","family":"Turner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of California, Los Angeles, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yurika R.","family":"Sturdevant","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of California, Los Angeles, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Margaret G.","family":"Distler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of California, Los Angeles, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laurie R.","family":"Casaus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of California, Los Angeles, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael F.","family":"Zito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of California, Los Angeles, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gerhard S.","family":"Hellemann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Alabama at Birmingham, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2804-7612","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Catherine A.","family":"Sugar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of California, Los Angeles, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fiona G.","family":"Whelan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of California, Los Angeles, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Trudy L.","family":"Niess","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of California, Los Angeles, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emily A.","family":"McGraw","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of California, Los Angeles, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Keith H.","family":"Nuechterlein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of California, Los Angeles, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archpsyc.58.8.763"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Cui W.
