HIIT Your Arthritis Symptoms: Sustainable Relief Through Interval Training
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IMPROVES DISEASE ACTIVITY among those with inflammatory joint disease. Inflammatory arthritis is a chronic condition characterized by joint inflammation and pain. We should not underestimate exercise’s role in alleviating symptoms. But can you HIIT your way to sustainable relief through interval exercise training? A new study says yes.
Inflammatory arthritis encompasses a group of conditions, such as:
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Psoriatic arthritis
- Ankylosing spondylitis.
These conditions involve the immune system mistakenly attacking the joints, leading to inflammation, pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
Managing these symptoms is crucial for preserving joint function and overall quality of life. In addition to pharmacological interventions, exercise has become an essential component of comprehensive arthritis care.
