Abstract
Exercise training is an essential component in the treatment or rehabilitation of various diseases and conditions. However, barriers to exercise such as the burdens of travel or time may hinder individuals' ability to participate in such training programs. Advancements in technology have allowed for remote, home-based exercise training to be utilized as a supplement or replacement to conventional exercise training programs. Individuals in these home-based exercise programs are able to do so under varying levels of supervision from trained professionals, with some programs having direct supervision, and others having little to no supervision at all. The purpose of this review is to examine the use of home-based, tele-exercise training programs for the treatment of different disease states and conditions, and how these programs compare to conventional clinic-based exercise training programs.
Highlights
Exercise is a vital component in the treatment or prevention of numerous diseases and conditions, barriers to exercise exist in many populations [1,2,3,4,5]
Exercise training is a vital component in the treatment of many diseases and conditions, ensuring compliance to programs can be an arduous task for clinicians
Individuals participating in these exercise training programs may lack the means to attend in-person sessions or may not want to commit time to traveling to a clinic or gym
Summary
Exercise is a vital component in the treatment or prevention of numerous diseases and conditions, barriers to exercise exist in many populations [1,2,3,4,5] These barriers include inaccessibility to facilities, time constraints, and the cost of programs [6]. Training programs may utilize methods which involve exercise with limited supervision by trained professionals, or even no supervision at all (Figure 1). These remote, tele-exercise programs may be useful in a variety of diseases or conditions, including musculoskeletal issues, diseases of the cardiorespiratory system, or neurological conditions. The following review will discuss studies employing tele-exercise training programs for the treatment and rehabilitation of these conditions and diseases
