Brief Summary

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

Increased physical activity has in the investigators recent study been shown to improve symptoms in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The aim of this study was to assess the long term effects of the investigators previous intervention in IBS patients to improve physical activity. The investigators aimed to assess the long term effects on IBS symptoms as well as quality of life, fatigue, depression and anxiety.

Detailed Description

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

86 patients who had been included in the investigators previous study "Physical Activity Improves Symptoms in Irritable Bowel Syndrome: A Randomized Controlled Trial" were contacted and asked to participate in a long term follow up 5 years after the previous study. The subjects attended one visit at which they underwent a bicycle ergometer test to calculate the oxygen uptake and filled out questionnaires.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Control and intervention

In the first study half of the subjects first served as controls for 12 weeks and then they went through the intervention. The other half only went through the intervention.

Group Type OTHER

Increased physical activity

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The subjects were encouraged to increase their level of physical activity for 12 weeks in the previous study.

The advice was individual but was based on the recommendations of the Swedish National Institute of health. The recommendation for increasing cardiorespiratory fitness is 20-60 minutes of moderate to vigorous intensive physical activity 3 to 5 days per week.
