TLDR
Two premenopausal women with rheumatoid arthritis of 16 years' duration were enrolled in a one year conditioning exercise program consisting of walking and low impact aerobics and the effect of exercise on the markers of bone formation, bone resorption, and vertebral bone mineral density are discussed.Abstract:
Two premenopausal women with rheumatoid arthritis of 16 years' duration were enrolled in a one year conditioning exercise program consisting of walking and low impact aerobics. The effect of exercise on the markers of bone formation (serum bone specific alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin), bone resorption (urinary calcium/creatine and serum tartrate resistant acid phosphatase), and vertebral bone mineral density as determined by dual photon absorptiometry are discussed.read more

TL;DR: There is strong evidence suggesting that exercise from low to high intensity of various modes is effective in improving disease-related characteristics and functional ability in RA patients.

Musculoskeletal complications of systemic lupus erythematosus in the Hopkins Lupus Cohort: an update.
TL;DR: Musculoskeletal damage remains one of the major sequela of SLE, and reduction of the modifiable risk factors (especially prednisone dose) is the key to both primary and secondary prevention efforts.

Muscle wasting in rheumatoid arthritis: The role of oxidative stress
TL;DR: The importance of oxidative stress as a driving mechanism for muscle wasting in RA is highlighted and potential interventions that may promote muscle regeneration via reduction in oxidative stress are discussed.
Maximal oxygen uptake in rheumatoid arthritis
TL;DR: It seems that other reasons are responsible for terminating a CRF test in RA patient while the results suggest that this may be due to the overall physical disability (HAQ) caused by the disease.
