“…Similar to the study by Sessford et al. (), we investigated exercising individuals with arthritis who had differential self‐regulatory efficacy for managing exercise (hereafter called self‐regulatory efficacy groups) when exposed to either many non‐disease exercise barriers (i.e. higher challenge) or few (i.e.…”

Background Research about exercise adherence amongst adults with arthritis has been largely correlational, and theoretically based causal studies are needed. We used an experimental design to test the social cognitive theory premise that high self‐efficacy helps to overcome challenging barriers to action. Methods Exercising individuals (N = 86; female = 78%; M age = 53; BMI = 27) with differential self‐regulatory efficacy for managing salient, non‐disease barriers were randomly assigned to many or few barrier conditions. Individuals responded about the strength of their anticipated persistence to continue exercise, and their self‐regulatory efficacy to use exercise‐enabling coping strategies. Results In the many barriers condition, higher barriers‐efficacy individuals expressed (a) greater persistence (Cohen's d = 0.75 [−0.029, 1.79]) and (b) more confidence in their coping solutions (Cohen's d = 0.65 [−0.30, 1.60]) than lower barriers‐efficacy counterparts. Conclusion Experimental support was obtained for the theoretical premise that when facing the greatest barrier challenge, individuals highest in self‐regulatory efficacy still view exercise as possible. Findings suggest that identifying lower efficacy exercisers with arthritis to tailor their exercise to increase self‐regulatory efficacy might also improve their adherence.

ObjectiveThis international task force aimed to provide healthcare professionals and persons living with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with consensus-based recommendations for physical activity and exercise in SLE.MethodsBased on evidence from a systematic literature review and expert opinion, 3 overarching principles and 15 recommendations were agreed on by Delphi consensus.ResultsThe overarching principles highlight the importance of shared decision-making and the need to explain the benefits of physical activity to persons living with SLE and other healthcare providers. The 15 specific recommendations state that physical activity is generally recommended for all people with SLE, but in some instances, a medical evaluation may be needed to rule out contraindications. Pertaining to outdoor activity, photoprotection is necessary. Both aerobic and resistance training programmes are recommended, with a gradual increase in frequency and intensity, which should be adapted for each individual, and ideally supervised by qualified professionals.ConclusionIn summary, the consensus reached by the international task force provides a valuable framework for the integration of physical activity and exercise into the management of SLE, offering a tailored evidence-based and eminence-based approach to enhance the well-being of individuals living with this challenging autoimmune condition.
