Summary

HIT GLAUCOMA is a multicenter exercise study for glaucoma patients between three institutes: the Department of Sport, Exercise and Health (DSBG) of the University of Basel, the Eye Clinic at the University Hospital Basel and the UZ Leuven (Belgium). The main objective of the study is to investigate the possibility of using exercise therapy to treat glaucoma. Participants will be randomly divided into two groups: Intervention and Control group. The intervention group will receive a high-intensity interval training plan, and the control group will receive lifestyle counseling and standard therapy. With this method, the study aims to validate an exercise therapy concept that could significantly improve disease progression and quality of life in patients with glaucoma.
