Exercise performance of patients wearing an AT (Group I) improved compared with controls (Group II), including the 6MWD, % predicted (∆4.4 ± 9.1 versus ∆0.7 ± 5.0, respectively), and fatigue levels decreased (∆−3.9 ± 5.7 versus ∆−1.8 ± 5.3). The aim of this study was to estimate (1) the potential effect of continuous activity monitoring using an electronic AT, compared with a historical control group in a cohort study and (2) the effect of additional personal coaching of sarcoidosis patients in a randomized trial. Wearing an AT in general, even without personal coaching by a physical therapist, improved exercise capacity and reduced fatigue in sarcoidosis patients.	./cache/cord-270210-gfy2ytg5.txt	./txt/cord-270210-gfy2ytg5.txt
