Core Tip This study investigated the impact of aerobic exercise on the cognitive and social functions of older patients with schizophrenia. In a 12-week retrospective analysis, significant improvements were observed in cognitive domains (processing speed, memory, and executive function) and social functioning, alongside reduced psychotic symptoms. Exercise duration positively correlated with cognitive gain and social function recovery. These findings support the integration of individualized aerobic exercise in geriatric schizophrenia care as a safe and effective adjunct intervention.
