Exercise adherence intervention
Exercise adherence intervention has been studied in 1 paper since 2025: 1 trial in people. The newest paper, Jun 30, 2025: “Exercise rehabilitation with tailored support for exercise adherence for people with vertebral fragility fractures is more effective than standard rehabilitation: the OPTIN randomised controlled trial”.

Studies in people
1 study gave exercise adherence intervention to people and measured what changed.
down: Decreases timed Up and Go Test time-2.1 seconds (95% CI, -3.1 to -1.0)

What did studies of Exercise adherence intervention find?
2Studies of Exercise adherence intervention measured 2 outcomes; the most studied are 6-minute walk distance (1 study) and timed Up and Go Test time (1).
6-minute walk distance

6-minute walk distance
upin humans1
Exercise adherence intervention increases 6-minute walk distance in humans (24.5 m (95% CI, 5.7-43.4)).
“At 12 months, the intervention group walked 24.5 m (95% CI, 5.7–43.4) further than the control group; this difference was statistically and clinically significant.”

Exercise adherence intervention decreases timed Up and Go Test time in humans (-2.1 seconds (95% CI, -3.1 to -1.0)).
“At 12 months, the intervention group were 2.1 (95% CI, − 3.1 to − 1.0) seconds faster than the control group.”
