Abstract in brief

  • A 10-week walking-based high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program in older adults with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) led to improved aerobic capacity, lower blood pressure, and reduced disease activity, indicating health benefits beyond body composition changes.
  • The study also suggested that HIIT might enhance immune function by improving the bacterial antimicrobial activities of neutrophils and monocytes, though specific immune responses were part of the exploratory components.
  • Overall, HIIT was associated with positive impacts on physical health, immune function, and disease management in older adults with RA, highlighting its potential as an effective exercise intervention.

関節リウマチ患者におけるトレッドミル歩行による効果(IF 5.16) 10週間の高強度インターバル歩行を行うことで、心肺機能は9%up,疾患活動性は38%改善、関節の腫脹も改善。 歩行で免疫機能の改善もありえる? https://t.co/M7DDkJhlJr
