Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a high intensity aerobic and resisted exercise program will improve physical, functional and psychological outcomes in patients post burn injury.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Even though immediate and early death from severe thermal injury has reduced over the last twenty years, considerable physical and psychosocial morbidity still persists. While exercise is strongly recommended to assist recovery and overall outcome, there is limited evidence in adults to indicate whether it is effective and/or safe.

This study will investigate the effect of a high intensity aerobic and resisted exercise program exercise program on safety, physical, functional and quality of life measures in adults post burn injury.

Intensive exercise group

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Intensive exercise

Intervention Type OTHER

Both groups, stretching exercise monitored once per week Intensive exercise group An aerobic and resisted exercise program for a minimum of three times per week for a total of approximately 60 minutes per session for six weeks. Aerobic exercise will be conducted on a treadmill, exercise bike or arm ergometer at an intensity of 80 % of VO2peak during initial assessment. For resistance exercise, the three repetition maximum (3RM) (maximum weight able to be lifted a maximum of 3 times) will be established and then resisted exercise will be commenced at 60% of the 3RM in the first week. Resisted exercise will then be progressed weekly by 5-10% by increasing the number of repetitions or the weights lifted. All resisted exercises will be done using variable resistance machines or free weights.
