Feasibility, Acceptability, and Appropriateness of an 8-Week Supervised Aerobic Exercise Intervention for Adults With Epilepsy: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Epilepsy affects multiple dimensions of health. Exercise may serve as a nonpharmacological strategy to improve health outcomes among adults with epilepsy; however, translating this potential into effective and scalable interventions remains challenging. Before advancing to efficacy trials, early-stage research is needed to establish whether exercise interventions are feasible, acceptable, and appropriate for this population.

This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness of an 8-week supervised aerobic exercise intervention for adults with epilepsy, guided by the Obesity-Related Behavioral Intervention Trials (ORBIT) model.
