Brief Summary

systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is the most common autoimmune disease in women of childbearing age. Promoting physical activity is a major national priority for the general population, including patients with chronic diseases. The aim of this study is to investigate the efficiency of combined effect of progressive resisted exercise with aerobic exercise for bone mineral density, quality of life, muscle strength and physical activity for patients with SLE.

Aerobic exercise plus progressive resisted exercise group

EXPERIMENTAL

Will receive aerobic exercise, progressive resisted exercise in addition to traditional care.

Other: Progressive resisted exercise trainingDrug: Calcium and Vit DOther: Aerobic exercises

EXPERIMENTAL

Will receive progressive resisted exercise

Other: Progressive resisted exercise trainingDrug: Calcium and Vit D

Control group

OTHER

Will receive traditional medical treatment in the form of Calcium, Vit D and Bi phosphnate.

Drug: Calcium and Vit D

Interventions

Progressive resisted exercises will be started with the 8 maximum repetition test (8 RM) performed at progressive intensities. The subject will perform the 8 RM test at the beginning and the end of each cycle over the two-month training period. Each training session lasts sixty minutes and will be performed three times per week on alternate days.

Aerobic exercises will be applied at 70 - 80% of their maximum heart rate. Trained health professionals supervised the exercise program. Each exercise session will begin with a 5-10-minute warm-up, will be followed by 20 -30 minutes of aerobic activity, and will be concluded with a 5-10-minute cool-down period.
