“…3 There might be an interaction between behavioral interventions and the use of disease-modifying or symptomatic medications regarding change in physical activity behavior 9 such that those taking medications might demonstrate larger changes in physical activity.…”

“…1,2 However, people with this immune-mediated disease of the central nervous system are often physically inactive compared with the general population. 3 Researchers have identified variables from social-cognitive theory (SCT) 4 as correlates of physical activity 5 that have informed the design of behavioral interventions delivered through the Internet for successfully increasing this health behavior in people with MS. [6][7][8] Inspection of the data from such behavioral interventions reveals the presence of interindividual variability in the pattern and amount of change in physical activity. 7 This suggests that some people are benefiting from the behavioral intervention more than others, and this variability might be explained by the characteristics of the participants.…”

Background: Behavioral interventions have significantly increased physical activity in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Nevertheless, there has been interindividual variability in the pattern and magnitude of change. This study documented the efficacy and variability of a behavioral intervention for changing physical activity and examined the possibility that efficacy varied by the characteristics of individuals with MS.

“…Existing recommended levels for physical activity focuses on engaging in structured forms of exercise using moderate to vigorous activities [38,39]. Yet there is evidence to suggest that only 20% of pwMS met the public health guidance for physical activity (moderate to vigorous physical activity !5 days per week or vigorous activity 3 days per week) [40]. This indicates the need for a more comprehensive approach in making every activity count.…”

Aims: Exercise and physical activity have been found to be beneficial in managing disabilities caused by multiple sclerosis. Despite the known benefits, many people with multiple sclerosis are inactive. This study aimed to identify the prioritised exercise and physical activity practices of people with multiple sclerosis living in the community and the reasons why they are engaged in these activities. Methods: A four Round Delphi questionnaire scoped and determined consensus of priorities for the top 10 exercise and physical activities and the reasons why people with multiple sclerosis (n ¼ 101) are engaged in these activities. Data were analysed using content analysis, descriptive statistics, and nonparametric tests. Results: The top 10 exercise and physical activity practices and the top 10 reasons why people with multiple sclerosis (n ¼ 70) engaged in these activities were identified and prioritised. Consensus was achieved for the exercise and physical activities (W ¼ 0.744, p < .0001) and for the reasons they engaged in exercise and physical activity (W ¼ 0.723, p < .0001). Conclusion:The exercise and physical activity practices and the reasons people with multiple sclerosis engaged in exercise and physical activity were diverse. These self-selected activities and reasons highlighted that people with multiple sclerosis might conceptualise exercise and physical activity in ways that may not be fully appreciated or understood by health professionals. Considerations of the views of people with multiple sclerosis may be essential if the goal of increasing physical activity in this population is to be achieved. ä IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONHealth professionals should work collaboratively with people with multiple sclerosis to understand how they prioritise activities, the underlying reasons for their prioritisations and embed these into rehabilitation programmes. Health professionals should utilise activities prioritised by people with multiple sclerosis in the community as a way to support, promote, and sustain exercise and physical activity in this population. Rehabilitation interventions should include both the activities people with multiple sclerosis prioritise and the reasons why they engage in exercise and physical activity as another option for increasing physical activity levels and reducing sedentary behaviours.
