Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Recently, a non-invasive method for assessing maximal muscle oxidative capacity (mVO2) using optical measurement of muscle oxygenation (near-infrared spectroscopy, NIRS) has been described. Measuring tissue light absorption from a skin sensor facing a muscle, makes it possible to distinguish tissue concentrations of oxyhemoglobin (HbO2) and hemoglobin (Hb). The difference in absorbance of Hb and HbO2 corresponds to the balance of O2 supply and consumption in tissue capillaries, allowing calculation of a time constant (kNIRS, min-1) reflecting mitochondrial function.
Current literature provides reference values in young healthy subjects and MS patients. This index could therefore constitute a particularly interesting non-invasive indicator of mitochondrial functioning, usable in the clinic.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
A few studies have focused on the link between maximal muscular oxidative capacity (mVO2), fatigue and muscular endurance in patients with MS. Furthermore, contradictory results have been reported regarding mVO2 in this population, suggesting in one case a higher mVO2 compared to healthy subjects while others observe the opposite. This results in an imprecise assessment of maximum muscle oxidative capacity (mVO2) in MS patients and its relationship with fatigue and muscular endurance in this population. The investigator therefore propose to carry out a prospective interventional study to analyze the relationship between these different parameters. The investigator's hypothesis is the existence of a positive correlation between mVO2 and muscular endurance, and negative with fatigue. This relationship will also be sought 6 months after participants engagement in regular physical activity. Given the accumulation of functional deficits, this approach is focused on preventive medicine, and with the aim of improving the care of these patients.
The statistical analyzes will be carried out with Stata software (version 15; StataCorp, College Station, Texas, USA), considering a risk of two-sided first type error of 5%.
Continuous variables will be presented in the form of mean and standard deviation, according to the normality of their distribution (Shapiro-Wilk test if necessary). In case of non-normality, they will be presented in the form of median, quartiles and extreme values. Qualitative variables will be expressed in numbers and associated percentages.
Graphical representations will, as much as possible, be associated with these analyses.
A description of the deviations from the protocol, the patients distributed according to these deviations and the causes of abandonment will also be carried out. The number of patients included and the inclusion curve will be presented by group.
Patients will be described at inclusion according to the following variables: compliance with eligibility criteria, epidemiological characteristics, clinical characteristics and possible treatments.
The main analysis aiming to investigate the association between maximum muscle oxidative capacity (mVO2) of MS patients assessed by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and muscular endurance of the gastrocnemius muscles assessed with the unipedal plantar flexion test (Single- Leg standing Heel Raise Test (SLSHR)) will be based on a regression coefficient (Pearson or Spearman with regard to the statistical distribution), interpreted with regard to the recommendations reported in the literature.
The main analysis could be supplemented by a multivariate analysis aimed at taking into account possible confounding factors (including form/type of MS, functional deficits and age); a multiple linear regression will be proposed. The normality of the residuals will be studied; if necessary, a transformation (for example logarithmic) of the dependent variable of the study may be proposed). The results will then be expressed in terms of regression coefficients and 95% confidence interval. A subgroup analysis of the main analysis will be carried out (if possible), according to age, MS, and functional deficits; which will make it possible to evaluate the robustness of the results with regard to the heterogeneity of the sample under study and the possible impact of these variables in addition to the aforementioned multivariate analysis. The maximum muscular oxidative capacity and the muscular endurance of the gastrocnemius muscles could, secondly, be treated and analyzed as categorical data with regard to the work reported in the literature; the study of their relationship will then be analyzed by the most appropriate statistical test. For the study of the relationship between two categorical variables, a chi2 test or a Fisher exact test will be confirmed by presenting the results in terms of absolute difference and 95% confidence interval. The secondary analyzes aiming to study the relationship between the maximum muscular oxidative capacity, the fatigue (FACIT-F questionnaire) and the walking capacity will be based on a regression coefficient (Pearson or Spearman with regard to the statistical distribution) and will be interpreted with regard to the recommendations reported in the literature. The variation in mVO2 at 6 months following the engagement in physical activity \[assessed by the variation in energy expenditure (number of METs per week)\] will be studied by the paired Student test or the Wilcoxon test; Results will be expressed in terms of effect size and 95% confidence interval.
