Popis: Purpose A better understanding of how people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) recover from exercise may help inform interventions. Methods We explored physiological and perceptual responses following exercise of different intensities, using a crossover exposure-response design, in 14 adults with multiple sclerosis (MS) and 9 controls. A cycling exercise test determined maximum capacity (Wpeak). Participants then performed 20-min exercise sessions relative to Wpeak (random order separated by 7 days): (1) 45% and (2) 60% continuous cycling and (3) 90% intermittent cycling (30 s cycling, 30 s rest). During a 45-min recovery period, tympanic temperature (Temp°C), exertion in breathing (RPEbr) and legs (RPEleg), and cortical excitability (MEParea) were measured. Results Eleven pwMS and eight controls completed the study. Controls performed better on the exercise test (p
