Summary

this study aims to determine the effect of 8 weeks of exercise on the quality of life and muscle strength of patients with IBD. Patients will be randomized into 1) Intervention group: doing aerobic and resistance exercise according to physiotherapist prescription and 2) Control group: usual medical care. Both groups will continue their medications prescribed by the Gastroenterologist. After 8 weeks patients come back to the hospital for reevaluation of measured indices. The primary outcome of this study is the patient quality of life assessed by the IBDQ questionnaire. Other outcomes that will be evaluated before and after 8 weeks are muscle strength measured by a dynamometer and laboratory markers such as ESR and CRP and tool calprotectin. Also, disease activity using partial mayo score and Harvey Bradshaw score will be calculated and compared before and after treatment.

Exercise

The intervention consists of 8 week of combined resistance and aerobic exercise. Patients will exercise 6 days a week;3 days aerobic ones and 3 days resistance ones. The aerobic exercise include 20 minutes of walking divided into three parts. In the first five minute the patients walks slowly to warm up, in the next 10 minutes the patient will speedup to reach the intensity described by the physiotherapist. In the last 5 minutes the patient walks like the first five minutes. The middle 10 minutes may be increased or not based on patient's weekly report. The resistance training consists of 5 exercise; hip abduction, shoulder abduction, bridging, elbow flexion and knee extension. each of these exercises is done in 3 set of 10 repetition with one minute break between each set. Based on patients' weekly report a 0.5 kilogram weight might be added.
