Participation in exercise and sport for individuals with minimal disability from multiple sclerosis: Quantitative feasibility data

The flexible exercise participation program (FEPP) is a novel intervention developed to enable individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) participate and progress in an exercise or sport of their choice. The FEPP is underpinned by guidelines on aerobic exercise for individuals with MS and is supported by a physiotherapist using behaviour change techniques. As part of a FEPP feasibility trial, the aims of this study were to:
1) assess the feasibility of the FEPP for individuals with minimal disability from MS.
2) assess the feasibility of a larger clinical trial to evaluate the impact of the FEPP.
FEPP feasibility was assessed with the Goal Attainment Scale (GAS) T-score as the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes included exercise participation, high-level mobility (HiMAT), vitality (Subjective Vitality Scale), biomarkers for inflammation (cytokines levels [IL2, IL4, IL6, IL10, TNF and IFNγ], and acceptability (participant survey). Trial feasibility was assessed via process, resource, management and scientific outcomes.
This data set includes the study protocol, recording documents, feasibility outcomes, raw clinical outcome data and statistical analysis.
