| Summary | Project summary Background: For people diagnosed with a spondyloarthritis (SpA) e.g. ankylosing spondylitis or undifferentiated spondyloarthritis, physical activity and exercise are important components in the self-management. Exercise, in addition to physical and mental symptoms related to the disease can easily feel overwhelming to exercise, and low adherence may result. By studying the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in comparison with training as usual on physiological, inflammatory, and self-reported disease parameters in patients with SpA, we intend to further investigate the short-term and longitudinal training effects, and refine the knowledge to tailor, coach, and stimulate to self-performed HIIT. Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the short- |
