Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of the role of physical activity and exercise in the management of people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It defines the concepts of physical activity, exercise, and sedentary behaviour and considers how these are measured objectively and subjectively in research studies and clinical practice. The symptoms and disabilities targeted by appropriately prescribed interventions are discussed and the growing evidence base for the effects of exercise in people with RA is highlighted. The recommendations and guidelines for health-enhancing physical activity and exercise prescription are reviewed and the factors that influence adherence to these are acknowledged. Suggestions of how clinicians may adapt their management approach to facilitate the uptake and maintenance of health-enhancing physical activity and exercise are considered.
