Exercise Barriers

Background:Behçet’s Disease (BD) is a chronic, inflammatory, rheumatic disease that is characterized by mucocutaneous lesions and can be seen major organ involvement such as eyes, musculoskeletal system, gastrointestinal system and central nervous system. Impaired quality of life, aerobic capacity, respiratory function and life satisfaction, sleep disorders, depression, anxiety and fatigue are seen commonly in BD patients like the other rheumatic diseases. Considering that regular physical activity effects survival for patients and healthy people, it is important to determine the factors affecting physical activity level and exercise barriers.Objectives:The aim of this study is to investigate physical activity level and exercise barriers in patients with BD.Methods:45 patients were included in the study. Physical activity level, exercise barriers, fatigue, depression, pain, quality of life and aerobic capacity were evaluated with International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), Exercise Barriers and Benefits Scale (EBBS), Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Behçet’s Disease Quality of Life Questionnaire (BDQoL) and 6 minutes walk test, respectively. Spaerman’s Correlation Coefficient were used to investigate the relationships between exercise barriers and other parameters.Results:IPAQ demonstrated that 22 (48.8%) of the patients had low level physical activitiy. Additionally, physical activity levels significantly correlated with both exercise barriers (rho= -0.345) and exercise benefits (rho= 0.320) (p<0.05). BDQoL scores also correlated significantly with exercise barrier scores (rho= 0.338), (p<0.05). No significant relationships were observed for other parameters.Conclusion:Exercise and physical activity are of great importance because of its positive contribution to the musculoskeletal system for BD patients’ rehabilitation. Thinking of negative effects of physical inactivity, patients with Behçet disease should be encouraged to exercise. Also, reasons of physical inactivity should be investigated and treated.References:[1]Ilhan B, Can M, Alibaz-Oner F, Yilmaz-Oner S, Polat-Korkmaz O, Ozen G et al.

AbstractObjectiveThis study aimed to compare the physical activity level and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) between older survivors residing in temporary housing after the Great East Japan Earthquake (GEJE; temporary housing group) and older individuals residing in their own homes (control group) and to clarify whether mobility function and muscle strength were correlated with physical activity among older temporary housing residents.MethodsSubjects were recruited to the temporary housing group (n=64, 19 men and 45 women) or control group (n=64, 33 men and 31 women) according to their residence. Physical activity was assessed by the number of walking steps determined by using a triaxial accelerometer, mobility function by the Timed Up and Go test, muscle strength by the grasping power test, and HRQOL by the Medical Outcome Study 36-Item Short Form Survey v2.ResultsIn the temporary housing group, reduced physical activity and correlation between physical activity and mobility function in men, and muscle strength in both men and women, were observed. There was no significant difference in HRQOL between groups except for bodily pain in women.ConclusionSupport for older evacuees should focus on maintaining their physical activity level as well as on HRQOL to avoid deterioration of health in these survivors.

TPS11636 Background: Studies show physical activity has a positive impact on fatigue and quality of life both during cancer treatment with chemotherapy and radiation and post-treatment (1, 2). There may also be a survival benefit to increasing physical activity both during and after treatment (3). To date there is no published research on the role of exercise in ameliorating the fatigue patients can experience during treatment with immune therapy. Our study proposes to use the existing framework of the LIVESTRONG at the YMCA program to objectively measure improvement in activity level and objective quality of life measurements. Methods: Randomized controlled prospective study evaluating patient participation in LIVESTRONG at YMCA program during active cancer treatment to assess change in minutes per week of self-reported physical activity over 12 weeks. Assessments will be done based on attendance of 12 week program, activity log, functional assessments of physical activity pre- and post- program (6 min walk test, % change in weight, % change in max weight lifted and flexibility), and questionnaires evaluating fatigue (PROMIS 13a FACIT-F), pain (PROMIS pain intensity scale, ASCQ-Me short form), quality of life (FACT-G), Godin Leisure Time Activity Questionnaire, and inflammatory markers (ESR, CRP). Data will be analyzed on an intention-to-treat analysis. A sample size of 100 participants per group will achieve 80% power to detect a 60 minute difference with a standard deviation of 150 minutes 1 and with a significance level (alpha) of 0.050 using a two-sided two-sample t-test. Enrollment is targeted at 108 participants per arm to allow for 8% attrition, 216 total. Secondary endpoints will be assessed at a baseline functional assessment session for all participants and a follow up session after 12 weeks, including administration of questionnaires at both sessions. For physical activity measurements and survey completions, percent change in baseline and completion measurements will be calculated for each patient, then comparison using a chi-square test will be done to determine statistical significance.(Tomlinson et al.
