High Intensity Interval Training and Rheumatoid Arthritis

NCT02528344 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 12

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The overall objective is to determine whether High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) has potential to improve disease activity scores for Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients. By reducing inflammation and modifying immune function HIIT may offer a substantial paradigm shift in RA care, especially in older persons with RA who experience aging related-immunesenescence, increased systemic inflammation and greater physical inactivity than young persons. Prior to embarking on a large scale trial of HIIT-induced disease modification, this pilot study aims to demonstrate that HIIT can produce measurable responses in disease activity scores and peak VO2in persons undergoing routine pharmacologic treatment for RA.
