The effect of exercise therapy on pain, fatigue, bone function and inflammatory biomarkers individuals with rheumatoid arthritis and knee osteoarthritis: a meta-research review of randomized controlled trials

Frontiers in Physiology, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 16

Accumulating evidence suggested the potential role of exercise in alleviating rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, whether improves physical function (walk test, grip strength, muscle joint assessments) and inflammatory biomarkers patients with RA is unclear. This umbrella meta-analysis aimed to examine effect RA. PubMed, Scopus, Web Science, Embase, Cochrane Central Library databases were systematically searched for meta-analyses randomized control trials (RCTs) retrieve relevant studies. The sizes pooled using a random-effects model, standardized or weighted mean differences (SMDs WMDs) 95% confidence intervals (CIs) as summary statistics. Seventeen studies included. improving effects on fatigue levels (SMD = -0.28, CI: -0.44, -0.13), pain intensity (ES -0.50, -0.87, -0.14), disease activity score joints (DAS) (WMD -0.54, -0.99, -0.09; SMD -0.47, -0.64, -0.30), ESR -0.85, -1.66, -0.03) significant. No significant impact hand grip, walk was observed. Exercise significantly reduces fatigue, pain, DAS, but shows no joints, other biomarkers. highlights its symptom management rather than broad physiological changes.

This article presents the results of almost nine months ethnographic research on relationship between physical exercise and health in older people post-COVID-19 context. Via exploratory–descriptive qualitative use a convenient sample, I shed light this using stories life experiences 40 (10 men 30 women, including two women instructors for senior classes) who regularly. The meanings they attributed to during COVID-19 after it are explained, emphasising first that there is no context not feeling safe; once security, most relevant can be exposed three directions. First, produces sense identity linked “being an athlete” “belonging group”. Second, exercising valued as participating something meaningful (the range from self-realisation, independence, autonomy feelings happiness). Finally, identity, those train alone show more commitment total hours spent activity than groups.
