Evaluation of Active Living Every Day (ALED) Among People With ArthritisFunding NumberMM-0444 Project DescriptionEvidence has shown that regular moderate-intensity physical activity improves symptoms and function in persons with arthritis. A 20-week behavior-based, lifestyle activity program was developed by the Cooper Institute, Brown University, and Human Kinetics to help people with sedentary lifestyles become and stay physically active. In the general population, this program, Active Living Every Day (ALED), has been shown to be effective at improving cardiovascular disease risk factors, activity levels, and cardiorespiratory fitness while also being cost-effective compared to traditional facility-based programs. However, the current research supporting ALED has not evaluated specific benefits for people with arthritis. The primary goal of this study is to assess the effectiveness and feasibility of the Active Living Every Day Physical Activity Program (ALED) for people with arthritis. Project Objectives
