Brief summary describing the background
and objectives of the trial
|
Knee OA (KOA), the most common type of OA is typically associated with pain, associated with negative affect, poor physical outcomes, and a number of negative psychological outcomes including depression, anxiety and fear of movement. Aerobic exercises have been reported to have positive effects on of pain, affects, severity of OA, depressive symptoms, anxiety, quality of life and functional performance. While studies have focused on the effect of aerobic exercises on pain, specific studies on the effects of aerobic exercise on mood, affect and fatigue in persons with KOA are limited. A study found that an acute bout of aerobic exercise results in an increase in positive affects that persists for at least 60 minutes post exercise in patients with chronic neck pain. Another study recorded that a single bout of aerobic exercise induced an analgesic effect which in turn improved the mood of patients with KOA. High-intensity long bouts of exercise have been reported to worsen symptoms such as pain, mood and affect in people with KOA. One review found that for a significant mood improvement one must exercise for at least 20 to 30 minutes and also found that affective responses improved regardless of duration, where a 25-minute condition led to a more positive engagement, compared with a 40-minute condition. The review also recommended that durations should span a wide range (from 10 to 60 minutes) to cover most possible prescriptions. Although little is known about the immediate effects of aerobic exercise on mood and affect in people with knee osteoarthritis (KOA), it is important to ascertain the duration of activity that will give the optimum health benefits in terms of mood and affect. Further as pain experience is influenced by cultural and demographic contexts; therefore, it is not known whether short bouts of exercises which has been found to improve clinical outcomes in patients with KOA in other climes will have the same effects on patients from the Nigerian pop |
