Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Online yoga training (Group A)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants will receive an e-pamphlet on physical exercise developed by The Arthritis Society, and will be invited to complete a yoga training program. The yoga training program is a structured low-intensity Vishwas-Raj. Participants will be asked to complete three individual 1-hour sessions per week for 12 consecutive weeks by watching a previously filmed session led by a qualified yoga instructor and posted on Facebook. They will also take part in a 1-hour virtual group session per week using a video-conferencing platform. Participants will also participate in weekly e-consultations with a research coordinator and discussions on Facebook with other participants.
Group II: Online aerobic dance training (Group B)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants will receive the e-pamphlet on physical exercise and will be invited to complete an aerobic dance program. The aerobic dance program is a low to moderate intensity level program and will also use a video. The video, adapted for youth with JIA, was developed with feedback from a JIA patient with experience in aerobic dance and a physiotherapist with experience in pediatric rheumatology. The aerobic dance program will have the same characteristics in terms of frequency, total number of sessions and total duration as the yoga program (i.e., three 1-hour individual sessions and one 1-hour virtual group session per week for 12 weeks). Participants will also participate in weekly e-consultations with a research coordinator and discussions on Facebook with other participants.
Group III: Wait list control (Group C)Active Control1 Intervention
Participants will receive the e-pamphlet on physical exercise and will be instructed to continue with their current medical care while they are on the wait list (12 weeks). After the completion of the study, the yoga and aerobic dance training videos will be available to all participants including those in the control group. In recruitment documents, this group will be termed the e-pamphlet group.
