About
The level of physical activity (PA) has been shown to be an important predictor for morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic respiratory diseases such as COPD and more recently Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. Physical inactivity is a common feature of patients with chronic respiratory diseases. Whereas pulmonary rehabilitation is known to result in benefits in exercise capacity, symptoms and quality of life, these gains will not automatically translate into increases in physical activity. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate the effect of a physical activity coaching program on the physical activity level of patients with interstitial lung disease.
Full description
The present study aims to
primary objective: To explore the magnitude of the effect of a semi-automated tele coaching intervention to enhance physical activity in patients with interstitial lung disease, as measured at 12 weeks, expressed as mean daily step count.
Secondary objectives:
Therefore, the study will include stable patients with interstitial lung disease who will be randomized into an intervention (semi-automated coaching intervention) and control (usual care) group. The study consists of a total of 3 visits.
Patients will be randomized into the intervention and control group. In both groups patients will receive information about the importance of being physically active and the physical activity recommendations provided by the world health organization. This information will be provided in a leaflet that will be discussed in an education session (one-to-one) of 10-15 minutes.
