Summary

The goal of this randomised controlled trial is to evaluate the effects of a 12-week intervention comprising high-intensity interval aerobic training and strength training on cardiovascular function, metabolic health profile and inflammation in patients with Psoriatic arthritis. A secondary goal is to assess the intervention´s impact on physical fitness, pain, fatigue, and health-related quality of life, and to explore long-term maintenance of exercise following completion of the intervention. We hypothesize that 12 weeks of combined high-intensity interval aerobic training and strength training will improve cardiometabolic health, inflammation, and enhance physical fitness, fatigue, pain and quality of life in Psoriatic arthritis.

Conditions

• Psoriatic Arthritis

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Exercise program	The exercise program includes two supervised sessions per week combining high-intensity interval training and strength training, plus one additional non-supervised aerobic session. The target of the high intensity intervals is 90%-95% of heart rate maximum. The strength training of major muscle groups includes 2-3 sets of 8-10 repetitions.
