Resistance training and Multiple Sclerosis: a solution to improve function and quality of life?

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease of the central nervous system, characterized by inflammation, demyelination, and motor impairments that significantly affect quality of life. Despite existing immunomodulatory treatments, chronic fatigue and functional limitations remain largely unaddressed symptoms, highlighting an urgent need for complementary therapies.

In this context, this study explores resistance training (RT) as a non-pharmacological approach to improve muscle strength, functional performance, and quality of life in women with MS.
