Fatigue management and exercise adherence are crucial for improving the quality of life for individuals with disabilities. In the latest Vicarious Insights podcast episode, Kyra from RehabAid Exercise Physiology dives into these topics, sharing insights on how personalised movement programs can make a lasting impact.
Kyra, a dedicated exercise physiologist, specialises in helping individuals manage fatigue and maintain independence through tailored exercise plans. Her passion lies in improving movement capacity while addressing both primary and secondary fatigue factors, such as chronic illness or medication side effects.
What Is Fatigue Management?
Fatigue management involves creating sustainable strategies to help individuals navigate their energy levels throughout the day. Kyra highlights that both primary fatigue, stemming directly from a condition, and secondary fatigue, influenced by medications or lifestyle factors, can be mitigated through structured exercise programs.
Her approach focuses on individualising plans based on client preferences and routines. By understanding when clients feel most energetic and tailoring activities accordingly, she builds long-term adherence to movement and exercise.
Why Exercise Adherence Matters
Adhering to exercise routines is a challenge for many, particularly those dealing with chronic fatigue or disabilities. Kyra emphasises the importance of consistency, explaining that movement can prevent additional health complications, such as cardiovascular or metabolic conditions.
She shares practical strategies for maintaining adherence, including scheduling workouts during high-energy times, finding enjoyable activities, and utilising tools like visual reminders to stay motivated. As Kyra says, "Movement shouldn't be feared—it’s a tool for life."
