Long-term Exercise in Multiple Sclerosis: Consequences for Symptoms and Emotions.
Augustine A.A., Larson R.J., Kucera D. (2008)
Conclusions: Exercise has the same impacts on multiple sclerosis patients as it does on healthy individuals. It effectively treats depression and, perhaps due to the increased brain plasticity associated with exercise, can stave off the progression of symptoms in multiple sclerosis.
