Acquired brain injury (ABI) is the first cause of disability and physical activity (PA) is a key element in functional recovery and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) during the subacute and chronic phases. However, it is necessary to develop PA programs that respond to the heterogeneity and needs of this population. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a PA program on the HRQoL in this population. With regard to recruitment, after baseline evaluations, participants were assigned to either the intervention group (IG, n = 38) or the control group (CG, n = 35). Functional capacity, mood, quality of life and depression were measured pre- and post-intervention. The IG underwent the "Physical Activity and Sport for Acquired Brain Injury" (PASABI) program, which was designed to improve HRQoL (1-h sessions, two to four sessions/week for 18 weeks). The CG underwent a standard rehabilitation program without PA. Results for the IG indicated significant differences and large effect sizes for the physical and mental dimensions of quality of life, as well as mood and functional capacity, indicating an increase in HRQoL. No significant differences were found for the CG across any variables. The PASABI program was feasible and beneficial for improving physiological and functionality variables in the IG. The wide range of the activities of the PASABI program allow its application to a large number of people with ABI, promoting health through PA, especially in the chronic phase.
获得性脑损伤（ABI）是残疾的首要原因，而身体活动（PA）是亚急性和慢性阶段功能恢复和健康相关生活质量（HRQoL）的关键要素。然而，有必要制定针对该人群异质性和需求的 PA 计划。本研究旨在评估 PA 计划对该人群 HRQoL 的有效性。
关于招募，在基线评估后，参与者被分配到干预组（IG，n = 38）或对照组（CG，n = 35）。在干预前后测量了功能能力、情绪、生活质量和抑郁情况。IG 参加了“获得性脑损伤的身体活动和运动”（PASABI）计划，该计划旨在提高 HRQoL（1 小时课程，每周两到四次，共 18 周）。CG 参加了没有 PA 的标准康复计划。
IG 的结果表明，生活质量的身体和心理维度、情绪和功能能力均有显著差异和较大的效应量，表明 HRQoL 有所提高。CG 在任何变量上均未显示出显著差异。
PASABI 计划是可行的，有益于改善 IG 的生理和功能变量。PASABI 计划的活动范围广泛，可适用于大量 ABI 患者，通过 PA 促进健康，特别是在慢性阶段。
