Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Objective: To compare effects of an intermittent and continuous walking program on walking endurance and fatigue in people with multiple sclerosis (MS).A randomized crossover prospective method was used.The intervention consisted of eight 6-minute-long walks (2x/week for 4 weeks). The continuous condition consisted of 6 continuous minutes of walking. The intermittent condition consisted of three 2-minute bouts with 2-minute rests. After a 4-week detraining period, participants performed the second training condition.
