%X Structured exercise training has been proposed as a useful adjunctive therapy for Crohn¡¯s disease by improving immune function and psychological health, reducing fatigue and promoting gains in muscle and bone strength. However, the evidence for exercise in Crohn¡¯s disease is sparse, with only a handful of small prospective trials [1, 2], with methodological limitations, including the use of non-randomised and non-controlled study designs and small sample sizes. Here, we describe the protocol for a study that aims to assess the feasibility and acceptability of two common types of exercise training¡ªhigh-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT)¡ªin adults with inactive or mildly active Crohn¡¯s disease (CD)
