Multiple Sclerosis and Exercise Program Intensity

Effects of a Short Physical Exercise Intervention on Patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

1. Since resistance training leads to a lesser increase in the core temperature than endurance training, it is better tolerated for heat-sensitive patients with MS.

A. True B. False

2. Physical limitations of patients with MS is mainly caused by all of the following, except for:

A. Decreased VO2max B. Reduced muscle strength C. Increased heat sensitivity D. All of the above are main causes of physical limitations of patients with MS

3. Even taking into account day-to-day variation in patients with MS, the study's results of an improvement of approximately _____ in VO2peak can be interpreted as a real training effect.

A. 5% B. 10% C. 12% D. 16%

4. A better endurance capacity after the training period was apparent from a lower heart rate at rest and at 50 W and lower lactate values at 50 W in both groups, which can be explained by a left shift of the lactate performance curve.

A. True B. False

5. Which of the following motivation-independent parameters showed a significant improvement of aerobic capacity?

A. VAT B. Lactate at 50 W C. Heart rate at 50 W D. All of the above

6. The study's results showed a significant improvement in both the endurance workout group and the combined workout group for all of the following subscales, except for:

A. Physical sum score B. Mental health sum score C. Role limitations due to physical limitations D. Social functioning

7. In patients with MS already, 20 minutes of endurance training are sufficient to improve aerobic capacity.

A. True B. False

High Intensity Exercise in Multiple Sclerosis: Effects on Muscle Contractile Characteristics and Exercise Capacity, a Randomized Controlled Trial

8. Which of the following improved after H(IT)R and H(CT)R?

A. Muscle fiber CSA B. Muscle strength of the weaker legs C. Self-reported physical activity levels D. All of the above

9. Further improvements of all of the following were seen only in H(IT)R, except for:

A. Endurance capacity B. Muscle extension strength of the stronger legs C. Muscle flexion strength of the stronger legs D. Lean tissue mass

10. Exercise intensity is an important factor to improve cardiorespiratory fitness, arterial stiffness, and hypertension.

A. True B. False

11. Higher training intensities are more effective and training adaptations are intensity related to MS.

A. True B. False

12. In the present study, type IIx proportions increased after 12 weeks of H(CT)R, whereas the type I proportion tended to decrease in H(CT)R and H(IT)R.

A. True B. False
