Study protocol: effects of exercise booster sessions on preservation of exercise-induced adaptations in persons with multiple sclerosis, a multicentre randomised controlled trial-the MS BOOSTER trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Multiple sclerosis (MS) causes a broad range of symptoms, with physical function being one of the most disabling consequences according to patients themselves. Exercise effectively improves lower extremity physical function. Nonetheless, it is unknown which exercise modality is most effective and it remains challenging to keep persons with MS adhering to exercise over a longer period. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate how exercise booster sessions (EBS) influence the sustainability of exercise-induced effects on physical function, and furthermore, to investigate which exercise modality (aerobic training or resistance training) is most effective in terms of improving physical function.
