Abstract

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory CNS disease which accounts for functional impairment and lasting disability in young adults. Current studies demonstrate that physical activity in patients with MS counteracts depression and fatigue and may improve quality of life. Interventional studies have described a reduction of the functional impairment in MS patients. This report presents information on the effects of physical activity on the immune system and the release of neurotrophic factors, and highlights current data on a potential immunomodulatory effect of exercise in multiple sclerosis.
