Module 1 explains the physiological mechanisms by which physical activity and exercise can improve disease-related and clinically-important outcomes in RMDs.
Module 2 provides important information on how to implement physical activity advice in clinical practice. The module provides practical solutions depending on the time that the healthcare professional and/or doctor has with their patients (i.e.):
a) how to provide brief physical activity advice in less than 3 minutes, which is when the time with the patient is limited
b) extended advice when the available time with the patient is longer.The physical activity advice to the RMD patients in Module 2 is informed by theories of behavioural change.
The project is entitled Implementation of Physical Activity into routine Clinical Practice in Rheumatic and Musculoskeletal Disease: The IMPACT-RMD study, and is funded by EULAR
