TLDR
The application of international standards for guideline development in the creation of evidence-based physical activity guidelines for people with MS are described, which state that to achieve important fitness benefits, adults with MS who have mild to moderate disability need at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity aerobic activity 2 times per week.

High-intensity interval training in people with mild multiple sclerosis: a mixed-methods feasibility study

TL;DR: It is suggested that high-intensity interval training is acceptable, safe and may offer disease-related benefits for the participants and further studies are needed to determine the long-term appeal of high- intensity interval training for people with mild multiple sclerosis.

The feasibility of creating a checklist for the assessment of the methodological quality both of randomised and non-randomised studies of health care interventions.

TL;DR: It is shown that it is feasible to develop a checklist that can be used to assess the methodological quality not only of randomised controlled trials but also non-randomised studies and it is possible to produce a Checklist that provides a profile of the paper, alerting reviewers to its particular methodological strengths and weaknesses.

A systematic review of the evidence for Canada's Physical Activity Guidelines for Adults.

TL;DR: Overall, the current literature supports clearly the dose-response relationship between physical activity and the seven chronic conditions identified, and higher levels of physical activity reduce the risk for premature all-cause mortality.
