Details and patient eligibility

About

This is a prospective interventional study. The investigators will include patients in clinical remission who are on stable treatment. These IBD patients will be followed to analyze the effects of physical activity on their inflammatory disease. Different exercises will be offered to two separate groups of randomly distributed patients: the first group will perform muscle building exercises while the other group will be offered aerobic exercises.There will also be a control group that does not initially benefit from a specific physical activity program. However, this group will be integrated into one of the other two groups after the 10-week follow-up. All three groups will perform the same baseline tests. These will be of different types: physical tests, biological tests and quality of life questionnaires.
