canadian Physical Activity Guidelines for Adults with ms
he Canadian Society for Exercise
T Physiology (CSEP) has released Canadian
Physical Activity Guidelines for Adults with MS.
The MS Society recommends these guidelines
for those living with MS who want to pursue
physical activity. These are the first set of
physical activity guidelines for adults with
MS developed through a rigorous, multi-step
process that meets international standards for
guideline development.
Following these guidelines can improve
aerobic endurance and muscle strength
among adults with minimal to moderate FOR
SUMMARY OF THE
disability resulting from either relapsingremitting
or progressive forms of MS. Meeting
these guidelines may also reduce fatigue,
improve mobility and enhance elements of
health-related quality of life.
Currently, there is no scientific evidence
that following these guidelines will result in
relapse of MS symptoms or worsen fatigue
or health related quality of life. A summary
of the guidelines is provided below.

Guidelines
• Moderate-intensity physical activity
is usually a 5 or 6 on a scale of 10
and causes your heart rate to go up
• Pick a resistance (free weights, cable
pulleys, bands, etc.) heavy enough
that you can barely, but safely, finish
10-15 repetitions of the last set
• Repetitions are the number of times
you lift and lower a weight
Important things to know
• Rum quae vendi dolorep erferuptate eturem que am, tore volendae nulpa
volori sus at ent ullupti quamus, velitis earit expelecus.
• Aerobic and strength training
activities can be done on the
same day
• Rest your muscles for at least one
day between strength training
sessions
