Who can help out with the page on exercise at #MEpedia? I will be adding some studies there today.

Welcome to Phoenix Rising!
Created in 2008, Phoenix Rising is the largest and oldest forum dedicated to furthering the understanding of, and finding treatments for, complex chronic illnesses such as chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), fibromyalgia, long COVID, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), and allied diseases.

Numerous studies have found paradoxical reactions to exercise in ME, including reduced blood flow to the brain and heart (Neary et al., 2008; Peterson et al., 1994; Streeten, 2001; Yoshiuchi, Farkas, & Natelson, 2006), reduced oxygen uptake in hemoglobin (Miller et al., 2015) and reduced VO2 on second-day exercise testing (Keller, Pryor, & Giloteaux, 2014) demonstrably not caused by deconditioning (Vermeulen, & Vermeulen van Eck, 2014), altered cytokine and complement levels, and increased markers of oxidative stress (Hornig et al., 2015; Nijs et al., 2014; Russell et al., 2016). Mitochondrial dysfunction has also been implicated in PEM / PENE (Morris & Maes, 2014).
Harmful & misleading recommendations/studies based on conflict-of-interest-polluted research from the usual suspects, inc Cochrane
I was thinking some of Shuka's images http://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0145453
Like this:

Not sure if it's already there but, in terms of visuals, those graphs from the Lights' study re changes in gene expression are also good.
