Key result
Individualized aerobic exercise training combined with telephone-based motivational interviewing increased total physical activity (p=0.011) and VO2 max (p=0.001) in adults with multimorbidity.
Why the study?
Aerobic exercise training benefits older adults and chronic disease populations, but few studies have designed individualized aerobic exercise training for individuals with multimorbidity.
Does a 12-week individualized aerobic exercise training combined with telephone-based motivational interviewing improve physical activity and health-related physical fitness in middle-aged and older adults with multimorbidity?

Lo et al. (2020) conducted an RCT in multimorbidity (n=43). Individualized aerobic exercise training combined with telephone-based motivational interviewing vs. Comparison group or control group was evaluated on Total physical activity (p=0.011). Individualized aerobic exercise training combined with telephone-based motivational interviewing increased total physical activity (p=0.011) and VO2 max (p=0.001) in adults with multimorbidity.
