Home-based exercise for adults with overweight or obesity: A rapid review

Using the behavior change wheel to design a novel home‐based exercise program for adults living with overweight and obesity: Comprehensive reporting of intervention development

“…Implementing the BCW during program design has supported the research team to consider the full array of techniques contributing toward program adherence, engagement and long‐term behavior change 10 . The development of this complex program requires further consideration to just prescribing exercises, 30,31 and the BCW prompted exploration of different techniques that could facilitate that. It provided an opportunity to deeply consider and explore less obvious design features of the home‐based exercise program, to a further extent than what would have been undertaken without the application of the BCW.…”

“…However, specifically for adults living with overweight and obesity, exercising within the home may also be more comfortable, without the presence of exercise stigma or shame often present within a gym setting 2 . Whilst the flexibility of home‐based exercise also suggests a suitable and popular alternative, there is limited evidence of the design of home‐based exercise programs tailored to the needs of adults living with overweight and obesity 3 . The prescription of a generic exercise program lacks individualization for participants with additional health needs that may require a more needs‐sensitive program, where considerations are made for additional factors than just the immediate program content.…”

Body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness, and neuromuscular adaptations induced by a home-based whole-body high intensity interval training

“… 7 , 8 , 9 These type of interventions could be also useful to overcome the above-mentioned barriers to physical activity. Several previous studies proposed home-based interventions, but mostly in a context of telerehabilitation for patients with chronical diseases 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 or elderly subjects. 18 , 19 , 20 In these studies, exercise type and intensity were adapted for the targeted population, and interventions either focused on a single component (e.g., endurance, strength, or balance) 10 , 12 , 18 or aimed to improve both strength and endurance.…”

Feasibility of Different Exercise Modalities for Community-Dwelling Residents With Physical Inactivity: A Randomized Controlled Trial

“…Although exercise is known to improve both physical and mental health, interventions are difficult to implement (Garner et al, 2018) because of factors including high rates of attrition (Keating et al, 2017) and low levels of adherence (Curtis et al, 2020). In terms of intervention type, both supervised exercise (Christensen et al, 2019) and home-based exercise (Power et al, 2022) are effective. Supervised exercise can facilitate participants' learning efficiency (Ballin et al, 2020), whereas home-based exercise is more accessible and convenient (Ballin et al, 2020) but carries the risk of low adherence (Lund et al, 2019).…”
