The relationship between physical activity and mental health is well documented and has led to the inclusion of physical activity into the treatment of people with mental health problems within heath care. However, little research has been conducted on the outcomes these programmes have for the people who participate in them. This study investigated the perceived health outcomes of people with mental health problems who had successfully participated in a walking project. The research is a descriptive qualitative study that used individual interviews and the constant comparative method of analysis. Findings conclude that physical activity programmes have a significant part to play in the quality of life of people with mental health problems and have the potential to be an integral part of their health care.
