Vascular Mechanisms, Functional Outcomes, & Exercise Among Persons With Multiple Sclerosis With Hypertension

The aerobic training will focus on large, dynamic movements of the lower extremities using leg cycling ergometry on an upright cycle ergometer installed in the participant's homes and will progress in duration (10-40 minutes) and intensity (50-70% VO2 peak) over the 3-month intervention period. All participants will start exercise at 50% of VO2peak for 10-min as determined by the exercise test, for the first week, to individualize the exercise prescription. Progression will initially target duration with weekly progressions of 5 min to 30 min of exercise, followed by progression of intensity by 5% per week until 70% is attained, based on patient tolerance of the increased work.
