Health-Related Physical Fitness in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease vs Healthy Control Subjects
Patients with IBD have higher body fat and reduced cardiorespiratory fitness and muscular strength compared with healthy control subjects. Especially, patients with a higher age, female sex, higher body mass index, fatigue, arthritis, or multiple biologicals used are at risk for such impairments and may benefit from physical exercise interventions.
