From: Multimodal exercise training to reduce frailty in people with multiple sclerosis: study protocol for a pilot randomized controlled trial

Exercise components

Duration

Description

Target (frailty domains)a

1) VR treadmill training

15 min

Treadmill walking with interactive virtual environment

• Slowness

• Cognition

2) RT

30 min

Seated leg press, seated knee extensions, seated chest press, seated lat pulldowns

• Muscle weakness

• Shrinkage

3) VR treadmill training

15 min

Treadmill walking with interactive virtual environment

• Slowness, cognition

• Exhaustion

  1. VR Virtual reality, RT Resistance training
  2. aThe multimodal exercise program will also inherently target the “inactivity” component of frailty
