Physical exercise can benefit patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) by improving aerobic capacity, gait, and fatigue. Regular aerobic activity is key to maintaining these positive effects of physical training in MS.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Sports Medicine
  • Rehabilitation

Background:

  • Historically, multiple sclerosis (MS) patients were advised against exercise due to concerns about neurological impairment.
  • MS can lead to cardiovascular and respiratory dysfunctions, impacting aerobic capacity and worsening with neurological decline.
  • Muscle weakness in MS results from both central motor drive alterations and disuse atrophy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the existing literature on the relationship between multiple sclerosis and physical exercise.
  • To examine the physiological responses and benefits of exercise for individuals with MS.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies investigating physical exercise in multiple sclerosis patients.
  • Analysis of physiological tolerance, cardiovascular adjustment, and respiratory involvement in MS during exercise.

Main Results:

  • Physical training demonstrates significant benefits for MS patients, including enhanced aerobic capacity.
  • Improvements observed in gait parameters, reduction in fatigue levels, and a positive influence on overall quality of life.
  • Regular aerobic physical activity is crucial for sustaining the benefits derived from physical training programs.

Conclusions:

  • Exercise is beneficial for multiple sclerosis patients, contrary to previous recommendations.
  • Physical training programs tailored to individual physiological tolerance can improve key functional outcomes and quality of life in MS.
  • Consistent aerobic activity is essential for long-term management and maintenance of exercise-induced benefits in multiple sclerosis.
