Purpose We determined if a high-intensity aerobic exercise program would be safe, improve expected fitness and clinical outcomes, and alter exploratory phosphorous magnetic resonance spectroscopy (P-31 MRS) outcomes in persons with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). Methods This open-label prospective pilot study compared two cohorts of ambulatory PwMS matched for age, sex and VO2max. Cohorts underwent 8 wk of high-intensity aerobic exercise (MS-Ex, n = 10) or guided stretching (MS-Ctr, n = 7). Aerobic exercise consisted of four 30-min sessions per week while maintaining >= 70% maximal HR. Changes in cardiorespiratory fitness, clinical outcomes, and P-31 MRS of tibialis anterior (TA) muscle and brain were compared. Cross-sectional P-31 MRS comparisons were made between all MS participants and a separate matched healthy control population. Results The MS-Ex cohort achieved target increases in VO2max (mean, +12.7%; P = <0.001, between-group improvement, P = 0.03). One participant was withdrawn for exercise-induced syncope. The MS-Ex cohort had within-group improvements in fat mass (-5.8%; P = 0.04), lean muscle mass (+2.6%; P = 0.02), Symbol Digit Modalities Test (+15.1%; P = 0.04), and cognitive subscore of the Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (-26%; P = 0.03), whereas only the physical subscore of the Modified Fatigue Impact Scale improved in MS-Ctr (-16.1%; P = 0.007). P-31 MRS revealed significant within-group increases in MS-Ex participants in TA rate constant of phosphocreatine (PCr) recovery (+31.5%; P = 0.03) and adenosine triphosphate/PCr (+3.2%; P = 0.01), and near significant between-group increases in TA PCr recovery rate constant (P = 0.05) but no significant changes in brain P-31 MRS after exercise. Cross-sectional differences existed between MS and healthy control brain PCr/inorganic phosphate (4.61 +/- 0.44, 3.93 +/- 0.19; P = 0.0019). Conclusions High-intensity aerobic exercise in PwMS improved expected cardiorespiratory and clinical outcomes but provoked one serious adverse event. The P-31 MRS may serve to explore underlying mechanisms by which aerobic exercise exerts cerebral benefits.
