The purpose of this study was to examine unilateral lower-limb exercise tolerance
during fixed-load cycling to quantify performance disparities of the legs. Eight
individuals with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS) and seven controls
performed submaximal single-leg cycling. Individuals with MS performed
significantly more work with the stronger leg than the weaker leg (stronger leg:
6.4 +/- 1.7 kJ, weaker leg: 4.7 +/- 2.5 kJ, p = 0.02). The control group
displayed no statistical differences between limbs (p = 0.36). These results
highlight a need for individualized exercise testing when prescribing training
programs for those with MS.
