AB  - BACKGROUND: Although antipsychotic medications help manage clinical symptom 
      severity, most people with schizophrenia continue to function poorly in the 
      community. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the Global Assessment of Functioning 
      (GAF) score is associated with aerobic capacity in people with schizophrenia. 
      METHOD: Thirty-four male (34.1 +/- 12.0 years) and 16 female (33.1 +/- 8.7 years) 
      persons with schizophrenia performed the Astrand-Rhyming cycle ergometer test in 
      order to estimate the maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) and were assessed with the 
      GAF, the Psychosis Evaluation tool for Common use by Caregivers and the 
      International Physical Activity Questionnaire. RESULTS: The mean GAF-score was 
      41.9 +/- 9.4, while the mean estimated VO2max was 34.5 +/- 8.7mlO2/min/kg. There was 
      a moderate association between the GAF-score and VO2max (r = 0.45, p < 0.001). 
      Positive, negative and cognitive symptoms were negatively (p < 0.05) associated 
      with the GAF-score, physical activity participation positively (p < 0.05). A 
      backward regression analysis demonstrated that VO2max explained 19.1% of the 
      GAF-score variance. CONCLUSION: In people with schizophrenia, the aerobic 
      capacity is associated with a person's global functioning. Clinicians should 
      consider incorporating assessment of aerobic capacity into their test battery in 
      order to measure the health consequences of schizophrenia and its treatment.
