About this trial
In the sponsor's words
The purpose of this study is to test different types of exercise training for people with multiple sclerosis (MS). The exercise program is based on physical activity guidelines that have been developed specifically for people with MS. The investigators believe these guidelines will be effective for improving physical fitness and function in persons with mild-to-moderate MS.
