Research summary
Children and adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease are at increased risk of poor bone and muscle health through a variety of factors, including underlying disease processes, nutritional deficits, and reduced physical activity. Inflammatory bowel disease can also delay the onset of puberty in children, and pubertal development in adolescents, resulting in sub-optimal adult bone mass, therefore increasing future risk of fractures and osteoporosis. High impact exercise may be a useful additional therapy for adolescents with IBD, as the mechanical strains produced during this type of exercise, through high force muscular contractions and ground reaction forces, can promote bone formation and gains in muscle mass. There have been no previous studies assessing the effects of high impact exercise in IBD, so it is unknown if this type of exercise is feasible in this population. The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of a short term jumping based exercise intervention for improving muscle and bone outcomes in children and adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease.
