Implication

Randomized trial evaluates resistance training effects on strength and quality of life in multiple sclerosis, suggesting improved benefits with increased sessions.

Key Points

To assess the impact of resistance training on various health outcomes in individuals with multiple sclerosis and establish a practical framework for its use.
Included eighteen randomized controlled trials to evaluate resistance training effects.
Focused on metrics including muscle strength, walking performance, fatigue, and quality of life.
Analyzed dose-response relationship with an emphasis on session frequency.
Resistance training improved knee extensor strength, walking speed, endurance, functional mobility, fatigue, and quality of life compared to usual care.
Programs exceeding 20 sessions consistently demonstrated significant gains in functional walking and mobility.
Resistance training was generally safe with minor adverse events reported.
