Physical Activity on Prescription in Patients With Metabolic Risk Factors.
Physical Activity on Prescription With Two Different Strategies. One Year Follow-up Regarding Physical Activity Level, Metabolic Health and Health-related Quality of Life. A Randomized Controlled Trial.
The aim of this study is to evaluate a one year intervention with physical activity on prescription (PAP) treatment for patients in a primary health care center setting versus an enhanced PAP-support with physiotherapist regarding physical activity (PA) level, metabolic health effects and health-related quality of life.
One hundred ninety patients, 27-85 years, physically inactive, having at least one component of the metabolic syndrome and not responding with increased PA level after a 6-months PAP-treatment in primary health care centre are randomized to either enhanced support by physiotherapist (Intervention group) or continued ordinary PAP-treatment at the health care centre (Control group).

Detailed Description
Aim:
The aim is to evaluate whether an enhanced support with physiotherapist for patients who are non-responders to PAP-treatment at 6 months follow-up in a primary health care centre setting influences physical activity level, metabolic health effects and health-related quality of life.
Methods:
Study design:
This is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with two arms: one intervention group and one control group. The present study is part of an ongoing study including 444 patients with a 5 years follow-up.
Study population:
The study population includes 190 patients, 27-85 years, having at least on component of the metabolic syndrome (metS) and non-responding to PAP-treatment initiated at health care centre. The patients randomizes to either enhanced PAP-support by physiotherapist (Intervention group n = 98) or continued ordinary PAP-treatment at the health care centre (Control group n = 92).
Intervention:
In the control group, PAP-treatment is offered by authorized personnel, mainly nurses and includes an individualized dialogue concerning PA, prescribed PAP and an individually adjusted follow-up. The intervention by physiotherapist includes fitness test using an ergometer bicycle. The result from the ergometer bicycle test forms the basis for a continuing motivating dialogue concerning physical activity and an individually dosed physical activity regarding frequence, duration and intensity with a prescribed PAP. The patient is supported by physiotherapist 7 times during the one year intervention.
Measurements:
For both groups, the patients PA-level, metabolic health and health related quality of life is measured at baseline and one-year follow-up, at the health care centre. In the intervention group, the ergometer bicycle test is conducted by the physiotherapist.
Statistical analysis:
The size of the study is calculated based on a power of 90%, to detect a difference of 20% in physical activity level between the intervention (40% responders) and control (20% responders) groups referred to physical activity level ≥5 points, at a significance level of 0.05. Intention-to-treat analysis will be used. Data will be processed using Paired samples t-test or Wilcoxon sign-rank test based on data level in within group analyses. Analyses between intervention and control group will be performed using Independent samples t-test or Mann Whitney U-test. Statistical significance is set at p ≤ 0.05.
Hypothesis:
An enhanced PAP-support by physiotherapist gives room for enlarged effects on physical activity level with an opportunity to influence cardiorespiratory fitness, metabolic health and health related quality of life.
Clinical implication:
An increased physical activity level in the non-responder group via an individually designed PAP-support by physiotherapist will increase the possibility to save time and resources for both the patients and health care system. Evaluating effects on cardiorespiratory fitness in addition to metabolic health and health related quality of life gives an immersed understanding of the health effects due to this intervention.

|
Self-assessment of PA-level according to American college of sports medicine (ACSM) and American heart association (AHA) public health recommendation 2007.
The patient responds to two PA questions, where 30 minutes of moderate-intensity PA per day results in 1 point and 20 minutes of more vigorous-intensity PA per day results in 1.7 point during each specific day of the week.
