The ABEL Feasibility Study (Adherence, Better Health, Exercise and Life Satisfaction): A Randomized Controlled Trial
The ambition of the ABEL feasibility study is to test new "green prescription" follow-up models that can get more women with obesity, regularly active, with improved health and physical fitness. The project will evaluate the effect on exercise behavior, total physical activity level and mental and physical health outcomes by four different follow-up models by an exercise professional: HIGH-dosage in-person exercise coaching (four session monthly), MEDIUM- dosage in-person exercise coaching (two sessions monthly) LOW-dosage in-person exercise coaching (one session monthly). The main aim of this study is to evaluate which of these follow-up models is most effective on improving women's exercise adherence, total physical activity level, physical fitness, and mental and physical health. This will be weighed against the cost of each of the follow-up models, in order to identify the best model from a socioeconomic cost-effectiveness perspective. Moreover, the study will identify potential barriers among patients, General Practitioners and exercise professionals that prevents optimal outcome from the current green prescription model.

Effect of Physical Activity and Pain Education on Endometriosis-associated Pain A Randomizes Controlled Trial With a Multimodal Interdisciplinary Group Approach
Endometriosis is a benign gynecological condition where the uterine endometrium is located outside the uterus. The condition affects up to 10% of women of fertile age and up to 70% of women with endometriosis have symptoms with severe pain during menstruation (dysmenorrhea), pain during intercourse (dyspareunia), and/or chronic pelvic pain. Current treatments are dictated by the primary symptom: pain and are limited to surgery and hormonal treatments with often short-lived effects. Advances in the understanding of the condition have expanded to focus on less invasive and non-pharmacological treatments. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses of observational studies have focused on the protective role of physical activity and exercise on the risk of developing endometriosis. The results from these studies have been inconclusive. However, the efficacy of physical activity and exercise on pain among women with endometriosis has not been tested in high-quality randomized controlled trials (RCT).
