Abstract [en]
Individuals with rheumatic diseases such as Osteoarthritis (OA), Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and axial Spondyloarthritis (axSpA) usually are less physically active and engage in low-intensity training. Pain and function impairment lead to reduction in their quality of life. Evidence prove High-Intensity Training (HIT) can positively impact pain and function, however, usually neglected. Assessing the previous research and addressing knowledge gaps in this area can lead to more beneficial intervention to improve the overall quality of life among these populations.
HIT is a beneficial and promising approach in most situations to managing symptoms including pain and function in individuals with OA, RA, and axSpA. However, contradictory results arise the need for further meticulous and high-quality studies in this area.
