Response To Medical Therapy in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Patients Carrying-out a Prescribed Exercise Programme

The investigators propose the use of a 20 week physician-derived exercise programme will lead to an improvement in physical fitness which will in turn lead to an increase in muscle mass, a reduction in visceral obesity resulting in an improvement in biologic response, disease biomarkers (including a reduction in circulating pro-inflammatory cytokines), fatigue scores and quality of life.

After completion, the investigators expect to describe the significant impact that exercise has on IBD disease control, response to biologics, modification of pro-inflammatory cytokine levels, quality of life and fatigue scores.
