Therefore, this pilot study evaluated the feasibility of a Graduated Exercise Program (GEP) based on the theory that programmed rest between exercise bouts improves the osteogenic response, which may enhance rehabilitation and military readiness.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Participants were randomly assigned to the GEP or standard-of-care exercise program. Both programs use a walk-jog-run progression, but the GEP splits daily exercise into morning and evening episodes and provides 5 days of programmed rest after each stage is completed. The GEP included autonomy support to foster program adherence. Outcome measures included adherence, subjective and ActiGraph-validated objective assessments of exercise duration and intensity, pain assessments, and autonomy support assessments. Participants offered suggestions for program improvement.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Quantitative findings were mixed, but more importantly, this pilot study showed that the measurement, support, and self-reporting parameters were feasible, with high compliance by participants.
