Summary:
For individuals living with multiple sclerosis (MS), a carefully devised exercise prescription is essential. Since exercise professionals may conduct exercise testing and prescriptions in a variety of health care settings, it is critical that they understand MS as it relates to exercise testing and prescription. Therefore, the purposes of this Clinical Applications column are to provide exercise professionals an overview of 1) MS and heat sensitivity, 2) previous and current research mitigating heat sensitivity and exercise, and 3) a clinical application and preliminary research findings of a wearable cooling aid designed to facilitate exercise tolerance for individuals with MS.
