Health-related quality of life associated with fatigue, physical activity and activity pacing in adults with chronic conditions.
BMC Sports Sci Med Rehabil
January 2025
Department of Sport Exercise and Rehabilitation, Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK.
Background: Fatigue and inactivity are linked to decreased health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in chronic conditions. A multidimensional approach to activity pacing may improve HRQoL by promoting physical activity (PA) and alleviating fatigue. Addressing fatigue across chronic conditions is crucial, especially when underlying causes are unknown.
