Improving Strength Training in People with Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Foundational Behaviour Change Science Approach
EF 2019-20
Résumé
Despite mounting evidence that strength training can affect health outcomes both similarly to and uniquely from aerobic exercise, participation in the strength training portion of the exercise guidelines are remarkably lower than the aerobic portion. Specifically in rheumatoid arthritis, rates are as low as 1-14%, even in those with well-controlled disease. Independent of aerobic exercise, ST offers a crucial strategy for disease management showing long-term and large improvements in pain, fatigue, muscle wasting, and risk for cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death in individuals with RA. This proposal aims to identify the most effective and relevant strategies for supporting people with RA to capitalize on this potent and cost-effective form of disease management that is supported to be feasible and safe for all types of RA severity.
