The purpose of this study is to determine if a manualised intervention to promote physical activity (MoVo-LISA) is effective to help psychiatric outpatients to increase their level of everyday physical activity.
The Intervention program MoVo-LISA is a psychological intervention that should help participants to increase their level of physical activity for a healthy lifestyle.It contains three sessions (2 group,1 one on one) in the course of two weeks. The intervention focuses on planning and barrier management. Participants develop activity ideas, goals and plans that enable them to integrate physical activity in their everyday routine and how to shield their motivation against barriers and difficulties.The intervention has proven to be effective with patients with pain disorders in rehabilitation. This study examines if the intervention if effective for psychiatric outpatients as well. The intervention is compared to an active control group that receives a similar program that is focusing on a healthy diet. Participants are recruited in the outpatient departements of three hospitals in Berlin and Brandenburg (Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin - Departement of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy; St. Hewdig Hospital Berlin - Departement of Psychiatry; Oberhavel Hospital Brandenburg, Departement of Psychiatry) and at local psychiatrists in Berlin. Individuals are recruited by posters and flyers in the waiting areas areas or by information of their doctor. Patients can contact the researcher and are, after checked for eligibility, invited to an information event, where they get detailed information on the program and the study. After the information event, participants give written informed consent. The intervention takes place in the outpatient departements of the three hospitals. Clinical information about diagnoses, medication and functioning is obtained by their doctors by mail after the patients released them from confidentiality. The study is an explorative approach to test if the program is suited for psychiatric patients. A sample size of 50 participants that complete the program is planned. All data is collected pseudonymised to protect the identity of the patients.

Change in consumption of portions of fruit and vegetable per day
Consumption of fruit and vegetable is measured using two items asking for the number of portions of fruit and vegetable that are consumed on a regular day (a portion is defined as a hand full). Consumption of fruit and vegetable is then added to check if the WHO recommendation of "5 a day" is met
Time frame: From baseline (T1) to 3 month after the intervention (T3)
