LAMFit is an innovative digital fitness program designed specifically for individuals with LAM to help them increase their daily physical activity. LAMFit participants will use a fitness tracker, activity goal setting, and reminder messaging to monitor and increase physical activity over six months. Participants will also have the option to join a private, online LAMFit community engagement forum with weekly discussion topics and peer support.
LAMFit uses a digital health and remote monitoring platform to deliver an exercise program. Some individuals with LAM may have unique exercise risks and be more appropriate for referral to center-based rehabilitation services for direct supervision during exercise, rather than to LAMFit. Use the Preparticipation Screening Tool provided here to help determine appropriateness for independent exercise during LAMFit.
