Effects of High-intensity Interval Training in Patients With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

"Patients with SLE will undergo supervised HIIT on an ergometercycle, 4 x 4 minutes interval, (85-90% of maximal heart rate in 4 minutes and lower intensity for another 4 minutes etc). The HIIT is combined with resistance exercises for upper and lower extremity. In total the training takes around 50 minutes per occasion and will be performed 2 times/week, for 3 months. In addition, the patients will exercise, according to the program, by themselves once a week.~Between months 3 and 6 the patients exercise by themselves, 3 times/week, with video-call/telephone support from a physiotherapist once a week."
