Physical activity (PA) is known to promote a healthy lifestyle among individuals with chronic diseases with various benefits including health, fitness, and function. Often individuals who experience fatigue symptoms have difficulty balancing their daily activities, which could result in a less physically active lifestyle. Tailored activity pacing is a self-management strategy that can help with regulating physical activity levels and self-regulation is the ability to manage emotions. They are two mechanisms involved in exercise engagement and PA, particularly relevant to persons living with fatigue symptoms. Moreover, exploring activity pacing and self-regulation will help us understand how individuals with fatigue plan their days and identify whether they achieve their goals. Activity pacing will be explored as a possible successful approach to improve the way this population manage their activities and deal with fatigue symptoms. Evidence on activity pacing and self-regulation is expected to be a critical feature in PA promotion aimed at introducing tailored advice to better manage PA and fatigue symptoms in people with different activity pacing behaviours. Positive effects have been found in Multiple Sclerosis populations; however, studies on this approach are currently scarce.The main purpose of this PhD research is to develop an intervention to promote PA in individuals with fatigue symptoms by providing advice and guidance on activity pacing and self-regulation and by helping them manage fatigue symptoms. The findings of this project will also be disseminated to health professionals (CRESTA Clinic) and academic audience. Best-practice of co-production in research (UBC Canada) will be mastered internationally.

众所周知，体力活动 (PA) 可以促进慢性病患者的健康生活方式，带来各种益处，包括健康、健身和功能。出现疲劳症状的人通常难以平衡日常活动，这可能会导致身体活动较少。定制的活动节奏是一种自我管理策略，可以帮助调节身体活动水平，而自我调节是管理情绪的能力。它们是参与运动参与和 PA 的两种机制，尤其与有疲劳症状的人相关。此外，探索活动节奏和自我调节将帮助我们了解疲劳的人如何计划他们的一天并确定他们是否实现了目标。将探索活动节奏作为一种可能成功的方法，以改善该人群管理活动和应对疲劳症状的方式。关于活动节奏和自我调节的证据预计将成为 PA 推广的一个关键特征，旨在引入量身定制的建议，以更好地管理具有不同活动节奏行为的人的 PA 和疲劳症状。在多发性硬化症人群中发现了积极的效果；然而，目前关于这种方法的研究很少。这项博士研究的主要目的是开发一种干预措施，通过提供有关活动节奏和自我调节的建议和指导以及帮助他们管理疲劳症状，来促进有疲劳症状的个体的 PA。该项目的研究结果也将传播给卫生专业人员（CRESTA 诊所）和学术受众。研究合作生产的最佳实践（加拿大 UBC）将在国际上得到掌握。
