The importance of promoting physical activity in adults with chronic illness cannot be overstated. Although numerous studies have evaluated interventions developed to increase physical activity in this population, it can be difficult to interpret the results without the benefit of a statistical analysis across studies. A 2008 meta-analysis synthesized the findings of 163 reports on such studies. This article discusses the implications of those findings, describing the strategies and practices commonly used to promote physical activity in chronic illness and identifying those that are most effective.
促进慢性病患者身体活动的重要性怎么强调都不为过。尽管有大量研究评估了旨在增加该人群身体活动的干预措施，但如果没有对研究结果进行统计学分析，就很难解释这些结果。2008 年的一项荟萃分析综合了 163 项此类研究报告的结果。本文讨论了这些发现的意义，描述了在慢性病中促进身体活动的常用策略和实践，并确定了最有效的策略和实践。
