Detailed Summary
This study evaluates the effects of a high-intensity strength training in patients with myositis with the primary outcome being quality of life (SF-36). The study is designed as a parallel group randomised controlled trial with an intervention group and a control group.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The high-intensity strength training protocol will consist of 2 training sessions per week. The first two weeks will be familiarisation training, where each exercise will be performed in three sets of 10 repetitions at an intensity of 15 repetitions maximum (RM). At week three each session will consist of 3 sets of each exercise corresponding to 10 RM, which will be kept for the remaining part of training intervention. The weights for each exercise will be adjusted throughout the intervention period, so the training load will correspond to 10 RM for each exercise in the entire intervention period.
