Resistance Training and Corticospinal Excitability in Multiple Sclerosis
Sponsor: University of Aarhus
Summary
The goal of the present study is to investigate effects of progressive resistance training on central nervous system functioning (corticospinal excitability (CSE)) and walking capacity in persons with multiple sclerosis (pwMS). A total of 54 pwMS will be enrolled and randomized into 1 of 3 groups: high dose resistant training (RT), low dose RT, and waitlist control.
