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:

Effects of Exercise Training on Fitness, Mobility, Fatigue, and Health-Related Quality of Life Among Adults With Multiple Sclerosis: A Systematic Review to Inform Guideline Development
Amy E Latimer-Cheung,Lara A. Pilutti,Lara A. Pilutti,Audrey L. Hicks,Kathleen A. Martin Ginis,Alyssa Fenuta,K. Ann MacKibbon,Robert W. Motl +7 more
TL;DR: There is sufficient evidence that exercise training is effective for improving both aerobic capacity and muscular strength among those with mild to moderate disability from MS and exercise may improve mobility, fatigue, and health-related quality of life.

The benefits of exercise training in multiple sclerosis
Robert W. Motl,Lara A. Pilutti +1 more
TL;DR: Evidence from clinical trials that suggests beneficial effects of exercise training on muscle strength, aerobic capacity and walking performance, and on fatigue, gait, balance and quality of life is discussed.

Exercise in patients with multiple sclerosis

TL;DR: The main limitations to promoting exercise through the patient-clinician interaction are the inadequate quality and scope of existing evidence, incomplete understanding of the mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of exercise in people with multiple sclerosis, and the absence of a conceptual framework and toolkit for translating the evidence into practice.
Journal ArticleDOI
The safety of exercise training in multiple sclerosis: a systematic review
TL;DR: A systematic review of relapse and other AEs reported in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of exercise training in MS found exercise training was not associated with an increased risk of relapse, and risk of AEs was not higher than in healthy populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systematic review: The effectiveness of interventions to reduce falls and improve balance in adults with multiple sclerosis
TL;DR: It is suggested that balance may improve through exercise interventions, but that the magnitude of the improvements achieved in existing programs may not be sufficient to impact falls outcomes.

Worsening of symptoms is associated with lower physical activity levels in individuals with multiple sclerosis.
TL;DR: Novel evidence is provided that a worsening of symptoms is associated with lower levels of physical activity in individuals with multiple sclerosis.

Limitations of Canada's physical activity data: implications for monitoring trends.
TL;DR: A critical assessment of the physical activity surveillance procedures, analytical practices, and reporting protocols currently employed in Canada to provide insights for accurate and consistent interpretation of data, as well as recommendations for future surveillance efforts are provided.

Physical Activity Behavior of People With Multiple Sclerosis: Understanding How They Can Become More Physically Active
TL;DR: Participants with MS were less active if their disease was more severe, if they received a disability pension, or if they had children to care for and the PAD model was helpful in understanding the physical activity behavior of participants with MS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical Activity and Irreversible Disability in Multiple Sclerosis
TL;DR: The current review highlights that previous research has generally included samples with minimal disability and provides a rationale for considering physical activity as an influence of disability in the second stage of MS.

Process description and evaluation of Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines development
TL;DR: The CSEP and Public Health Agency of Canada followed a rigorous process to examine the evidence informing potential revisions to existing physical activity guidelines for Canadians, believed to be the first physical activity guideline development process in the world to be guided and assessed by AGREE II and AMSTAR instruments.
