The effects of detraining subsequent to strength training on neuromuscular function were examined in 39 recent-onset rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. Eighteen age- and sex-matched healthy people (H) served as controls. Patients were randomly allocated either to the experimental group (PE), who carried out progressive strength training for 6 months, or to the control group (PC), who maintained only their habitual physical activities. After 6 months, PE returned to their earlier physical…

Effects of concurrent strength and endurance training in women with early or longstanding rheumatoid arthritis: comparison with healthy subjects.
TLDR
Both early and longstanding RA patients with stable disease can safely improve all characteristics of their physical fitness profile using a progressive concurrent strength and endurance training protocol.
Aerobic and neuromuscular performance capacity of physically active females with early or long-term rheumatoid arthritis compared to matched healthy women
TLDR
The physically active females even with LRA could maintain their aerobic fitness comparable to that of age matched healthy subjects, however, the neuromuscular profile suggests that especially explosive strength characteristics of the leg extensors cannot be maintained at the normal level with habitual physical activities.
A home-based two-year strength training period in early rheumatoid arthritis led to good long-term compliance: a five-year followup.
TLDR
The differences in muscle strength, DAS28, and HAQ were significantly in favor of the EG both at the 2-year and 5-year followup assessments.
Effectiveness and safety of strength training in rheumatoid arthritis
TLDR
Moderate or high-intensity strength training programs have better training effects on muscle strength in RA than low-intensity programs and it is, however, essential to maintain the training routine to obtain long-term benefits from it.
A six-week hand exercise programme improves strength and hand function in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
TLDR
A significant improvement in hand force and hand function in patients with rheumatoid arthritis was seen after 6 weeks of hand training; the improvement was even more pronounced after 12 weeks, leading to better strength and function.
Effectiveness of an overall progressive resistance strength program for improving the functional capacity of patients with rheumatoid arthritis: a randomized controlled trial
TLDR
This progressive resistance strength training improves physical function as well as grip and muscular strength of knee flexors, shoulder abductors and wrist extensors in patients with RA, without adverse effects.
Higher pain sensitivity and lower muscle strength in postmenonpausal women with early rheumatoid arthritis compared with age-matched healthy women – a pilot study
TLDR
Different in muscular strength between postmenopausal women with and without (rheumatoid arthritis) RA is present in early disease despite low disease activity, and women with RA have decreased pressure pain thresholds and hyperalgesia, but no dysfunction of segmental and plurisegmental pain inhibitory mechanisms.
Dynamic exercise programs (aerobic capacity and/or muscle strength training) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
TLDR
Based on the evidence, aerobic capacity training combined with muscle strength training is recommended as routine practice in patients with RA and four different dynamic exercise programs were found.
Is a long-term high-intensity exercise program effective and safe in patients with rheumatoid arthritis? Results of a randomized controlled trial.
TLDR
A long-term high-intensity exercise program is more effective than UC in improving functional ability of RA patients and the RAPIT program proved to be effective in improving emotional status.

Muscle strength in healthy people and in patients suffering from recent-onset inflammatory arthritis.
TLDR
It is suggested that inflammatory arthritis decreases dynamic and/or isometric muscle strength in selected muscle groups of the body already in the early stages of disease, however, progressive dynamic strength training rapidly increases the neuromuscular performance capacity of the patients even to the level of healthy people without detrimental effects on disease activity.
Dynamic versus static training in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
TLDR
In RA patients, dynamic training gives a greater increase in physical capacity than does static training.
Strength conditioning in older men: skeletal muscle hypertrophy and improved function.
TLDR
Strength gains in older men were associated with significant muscle hypertrophy and an increase in myofibrillar protein turnover and the torque-velocity relationship showed an upward displacement of the curve at the end of training, mainly in the slow-vel velocity high-torque region.
Dynamic training versus relaxation training as home exercise for patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases. A randomized controlled study.
TLDR
It is indicated that progressive muscle relaxation training might improve health related quality of life, reduce joint tenderness and be superior to dynamic muscle training in improving the muscle function of the lower extremities in patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases.
Intensive dynamic training in water for rheumatoid arthritis functional class II--a long-term study of effects.
TLDR
After the training period the TG patients had significantly better grip strength and higher activity level, the latter maintained at two-year follow-up, and Dynamic training at an intensive tempo does not seem to lead to any undesirable consequences.
Trunk muscle strength and back muscle endurance in construction workers with and without low back disorders.
The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that male workers exposed to heavy work and with no lifetime history of a low back disorder (group A) have better trunk muscle strength and back…
Neural factors versus hypertrophy in the time course of muscle strength gain.
TLDR
The results indicated that neural factors accounted for the larger proportion of the initial strength increment and thereafter both neural factors andhypertrophy took part in the further increase in strength, with hypertrophy becoming the dominant factor after the first 3 to 5 weeks.
Safe and effective isokinetic knee extension training in rheumatoid arthritis.
TLDR
This training method was effective and safe in patients with RA and its effectiveness with regard to knee extension, in patients in functional stage II or III was confirmed.
Muscle strength and speed of movement in relation to age and muscle morphology.
TLDR
Multiple regression analyses indicated that mechanisms other than the type II fiber atrophy might be responsible for the decline in strength performance during aging.
