Maximal exercise tolerance, objective trunk strength and mobility measurements in axial spondyloarthritis

CONCLUSION: Strength is more affected than mobility when compared to healthy controls. Likewise, mainly the metabolic component of aerobic capacity is impaired, affecting cardiopulmonary fitness. These findings indicate that future personalized exercise programs in axSpA patients should incorporate exercises for cardiopulmonary fitness next to strength and mobility training.PMID:38490674 | DOI:10.3899/jrheum.2023-1046
