The object of investigation: Žiegždriai psychiatric hospital patients with schizophrenia, who are involved in therapy of arts. The aim of the study: to evaluate the impact of adapted physical activity on patients’ with schizophrenia being and small motility. Objectives of the study: 1. Identify changes of being for men and women patients with schizophrenia. 2. Set the impact of adapted physical activity on physical capacity of men and women patients with schizophrenia. 3. Evaluate small motility of men and women patients with schizophrenia. The problem question: whether the adapted physical activity combined with art therapy could have an impact on schizophrenia patients in general-being. Studies have confirmed the assumptions that adapted physical activity affects the patients’ with schizophrenia approach to physical activity. The adapted physical activity exercises applied on patients with schizophrenia had a positive impact on the evaluation of their being.

Those patients have improved their physical capacity after physical activity exercises at the end of the study. After the tests carried out by patients with schizophrenia the small-scale test motor condition assessment results have improved compared to the start of the test data obtained. Therefore, it can be assumed that 15 - 20 min. length art therapy had a positive impact on patients’ with schizophrenia small motility
