DESCRIPTION : Mentoring and Training Activities The proposed CDA-2 is designed to promote Dr. Hall's transition to an independent Rehabilitation Research career under the mentorship of leading researchers in the areas of physical function, PTSD, and chronic disease management. The training plan for this CDA-2 includes a mix of didactic and experiential learning activities. The primary objectives of this training plan include: develop competency in cognitive- behavioral approaches to reducing PTSD symptoms; develop hands-on experience and utilize innovative mobile health technologies; develop expertise in physical activity interventions for Veterans with PTSD and the development of comparative effectiveness clinical trials; and continued professional development in the areas of manuscript preparation, grant proposals, and the responsible conduct of research. There is substantial evidence that physical inactivity contributes to poorer physical health outcomes in older adults. There is a paucity of work examining physical activity in Veterans with PTSD. Consequently, the efficacy of exercise as a beneficial adjunctive therapy in the treatment for PTSD symptoms and related health sequelae has not been established. Methods: Eighty Veterans 60 years and older with PTSD will be recruited from the Durham VAMC PTSD clinic to participate in a 12-week physical activity program consisting of aerobic and strength-training activities. Participants will be randomized to an intervention arm or usual care. Outcomes: Changes in physical function, PTSD symptom severity, and aerobic endurance will be assessed between the two study arms. Secondary outcomes include compliance with the intervention, pain, sleep, and psychological well-being. Summary: This pilot trial will extend our understanding of the physical and psychological benefits of physical activity in Veterans with PTSD. The results from this study will be used to be used to develop a larger, randomized controlled exercise trial for Veterans with PTSD. Once new, effective exercise therapies for Veterans with PTSD are established, we can augment traditional PTSD therapy with exercise therapy to promote the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases common in this vulnerable population.

描述 ： 指导和培训活动 拟议的 CDA-2 旨在促进 Hall 博士在身体功能、创伤后应激障碍和慢性病管理领域领先研究人员的指导下过渡到独立的康复研究职业。 CDA-2 的培训计划包括教学和体验式学习活动。该培训计划的主要目标包括： 培养减少 PTSD 症状的认知行为方法的能力；积累实践经验并利用创新的移动医疗技术；为患有创伤后应激障碍 (PTSD) 的退伍军人开发体育活动干预方面的专业知识，并开展比较有效性临床试验；并在稿件准备、资助提案和负责任的研究行为等领域持续专业发展。 有大量证据表明，缺乏身体活动会导致老年人的身体健康状况较差。对患有创伤后应激障碍 (PTSD) 的退伍军人的身体活动进行检查的工作很少。因此，运动作为治疗 PTSD 症状和相关健康后遗症的有益辅助疗法的功效尚未确定。方法：将从 Durham VAMC PTSD 诊所招募 80 名 60 岁及以上患有 PTSD 的退伍军人参加为期 12 周的体育活动计划，包括有氧运动和力量训练活动。参与者将被随机分配到干预组或常规护理组。结果：将评估两个研究组之间的身体功能变化、PTSD 症状严重程度和有氧耐力。次要结果包括干预的依从性、疼痛、睡眠和心理健康。摘要：这项试点试验将加深我们对体育活动对患有创伤后应激障碍 (PTSD) 退伍军人的身心益处的了解。这项研究的结果将用于 用于为患有创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的退伍军人开发更大规模的随机对照运动试验。一旦为患有 PTSD 的退伍军人建立了新的、有效的运动疗法，我们就可以用运动疗法来增强传统的 PTSD 疗法，以促进这一弱势群体中常见慢性疾病的预防和治疗。
