Summary

This trial will compare the effects of different types of exercise on physical function, fitness, and central nervous system function in people with progressive MS.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people with progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) who have moderate motor disability and can safely exercise. They should not be highly active already, haven't had an MS relapse in the last three months, and don't have other neurological conditions, psychiatric diagnoses or substance abuse issues.
What is being tested?
The study is testing how different types of exercises affect physical function, fitness, and central nervous system changes in individuals with MS. Participants will be assigned to one of three distinct exercise protocols to see which has the most beneficial effects.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves exercise programs rather than medication, side effects may include typical exercise-related discomforts such as muscle soreness or fatigue. However, specific risks depend on each participant's condition.
