Exercise is recommended to preserve joint mobility and function. Our objectives were to assess the safety, feasibility, and effects of slow speed resistance exercise in children with polyarticular JIA.Methods: Patients were recruited from a pediatric rheumatology clinic at an urban hospital and randomized to exercise or control groups. In the intervention group, slow speed resistance exercise with individualized instruction by a certified trainer was performed 1–2 times per week for 12 weeks. The control group performed home-based aerobic exercise 3 days per week for 12 weeks. Pre and post-body composition measurements by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry; aerobic fitness by peak oxygen uptake during cycle ergometry; isometric muscle strength; and quality of life measures were obtained.Results: In the exercise group, 9/17 (53%) completed any exercise training. Of these nine subjects, five (55%) completed all 12 weeks of the protocol. In the control group, 8/16 (50%) reported compliance with the recommended aerobic exercise training at least one time per week. Only 2 subjects (12%) reported exercising more than once per week. There was no significant difference between pre- and post-measurements in any category in the exercise group. There was also significantly elevated body fat in both groups with only 17% in the control group and 23% in the exercise group meeting recommended <30% total body fat levels.Conclusions: Children with JIA participated safely in this resistance exercise protocol. The exercise was well-tolerated with no serious adverse events noted. While individual subjects reported improvement in fatigue and improved energy, there was no statistical difference in pre- and post-exercise measures of body composition or quality of life. Identifying ways to improve adherence and encourage exercise in children with JIA is important.Keywords: exercise, juvenile arthritis, body compositionSule SDFontaine KRDove Medical PressarticleExercisejuvenile arthritisbody compositionDiseases of the musculoskeletal systemRC925-935ENOpen Access Rheumatology: Research and Reviews, Vol Volume 11, Pp 121-126 (2019)
