Pilot Study Assessing the Feasibility and Impact of a Remote Adapted Physical Activity Program on Quality of Life in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)

Pilot Feasibility and Impact Study of a Remote Adapted Physical Activity Program on the Quality of Life of Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)

About This Trial

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a chronic relapsing condition that affects the gastrointestinal tract and is increasingly diagnosed in adolescents and young adults. Although anti-TNFα therapies are effective in reducing disease activity and improving quality of life, they are frequently associated with side effects such as fatigue, weight gain, and joint pain, which may be mitigated by regular physical activity. Emerging evidence suggests that light to moderate physical activity may help reduce systemic and intestinal inflammation and improve IBD-related outcomes. However, access to structured physical activity programs remains limited, and personal or professional constraints may hinder participation. This pilot study aims to assess the feasibility and impact of a remotely delivered Adapted Physical Activity (APA) program on the quality of life of patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. This study evaluates the effects of a 12-weeks remote APA intervention on quality of life as the primary outcome. Secondary objectives include assessing changes in anxiety and depression, fatigue levels, IBD activity, and smoking behavior. The findings from this study may inform the development of scalable, non-pharmacological strategies to support symptom management and well-being in individuals with IBD.
