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.About:

Andrew M. Scheidler,Dominique Kinnett-Hopkins,Yvonne C. Learmonth,Robert W. Motl,Citlali López-Ortiz +4 more
TL;DR: The TBP was well tolerated, improved balance, and mitigated ataxia, and clinical improvements were larger than those of previous studies on physical rehabilitation in MS with similar outcome measures.

A randomised controlled trial of an exercise plus behaviour change intervention in people with multiple sclerosis: the step it up study protocol.
Susan Coote,Stephen Gallagher,Rachel M. Msetfi,Aidan Larkin,John Newell,Robert W. Motl,Sara Hayes +6 more
TL;DR: This randomised controlled trial will examine the effectiveness of an exercise plus SCT-based behaviour change intervention on walking mobility among people with multiple sclerosis to inform future directions of research and clinical practice with regard to sustainable exercise interventions for people with MS.

Exercise therapy in multiple sclerosis and its effects on function and the brain.
TL;DR: In summary, exercise therapy is a safe and potent nonpharmacological intervention in MS, with beneficial effects on both functional capacity and the brain.

Physical activity motivation and benefits in people with multiple sclerosis
TL;DR: Insight is provided into the role of physical activity in a highly active sample of highly active people with multiple sclerosis and have implications for professionals working in physical activity settings with the multiple sclerosis population.

Investigating the needs and wants of healthcare providers for promoting exercise in persons with multiple sclerosis: a qualitative study
Yvonne C. Learmonth,Brynn C. Adamson,Julia M. Balto,Chung-Yi Chiu,Isabel Molina-Guzman,Marcia Finlayson,Elizabeth A. Barstow,Robert W. Motl +7 more
TL;DR: Providers in MS healthcare consider the patient-provider interaction within the healthcare system, healthcare team, and clinical appointment as a novel opportunity for exercise promotion, which requires education of healthcare providers and provision of tools and strategies among persons with 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.
Sara H. Downs,Nick Black +1 more
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.

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.
