“…25 A full protocol was published prospectively. 26 A systematic scoping review was deemed most suitable to assess a broad topic with a wide range of methodologies in an area not previously reviewed. 27 Electronic-based searches (see supplementary material 1 for the full search strategy) were performed to identify studies utilising home-based RT in individuals with NCDs defined as cancer; cardiovascular disease; diabetes mellitus (type 1 and type 2); CKD (including those on dialysis); and chronic respiratory disease (asthma, COPD, pulmonary hypertension).…”

Skeletal muscle atrophy, dysfunction, and weakness are consequences of noncommunicable diseases which result in exercise and functional limitations which contribute to poor quality of life and increased mortality. Home-based resistance training may promote skeletal muscle health. MethodElectronic-based systematic searches were performed identifying randomised controlled trials utilising home-based resistance training in patients with noncommunicable diseases defined as cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus (type 1 and 2), chronic kidney disease (including dialysis), and chronic respiratory disease (asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pulmonary hypertension). A comparator group was defined as one containing 'nonexercise' or 'usual care'. ResultsOf the 239 studies identified (published between 1996 and 2020), 22 met the inclusion criteria. Sixteen studies contained an adjunct aerobic training component. Study designs and outcome measures showed large variation. Reporting of the principles of training applied within interventions was poor. Conclusions Heterogeneity in study characteristics, and poor reporting of training characteristics, prevents formal recommendations for optimising home-based resistance training. However, homebased interventions are less resource-intensive than supervised programmes and appear to have the ability to improve or preserve pertinent outcomes such as strength, functional ability, and quality of life; potentially reducing the risk of mortality in patients with chronic disease.
