Summary

Nearly 1 million individuals in the United States have multiple sclerosis, which causes fatigue and problems with walking. Fatigue and walking problems are poorly treated, but exercise training, particularly high-intensity walking exercise, may help. This provide insight into whether high-intensity walking exercise can improve fatigue and walking problems in people with multiple sclerosis, which could improve quality of life and reduce economic burden.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

treadmill training

Participants will undergo 12 sessions (4 weeks, 3 sessions/week) of treadmill training. During each session, participants will walk for 40 min. with 5 min. of warmup and cooldown at 50% of maximal walking speed (tested each week) with 30 min. of training interposed. The type of training will be determined by the assigned treatment arm.
