I stumbled upon an article titled "A prescription for exercise" published on April 27, 2016 in the Kingston Whig-Standard: http://www.thewhig.com/2016/04/27/a-prescription-for-exercise
It includes the following paragraph:
"There is clear evidence that exercise intervention is effective for the following chronic conditions: osteoarthritis of the hip and knee, chronic non-specific low back pain, prevention of falls, heart failure, coronary heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD], chronic fatigue syndrome and type 2 diabetes."
I will be sending the author (Tracie Smith-Beyak) an email to correct her incorrect perception regarding the suitability of exercise in ME/CFS. If others wish to do the same, she can be reached at: http://conquertraining.guru/#contact
I tried to access the Canadian Medical Association Journal article to determine exactly what they said about exercise and chronic fatigue syndrome. However, one needs a subscription to access it. Does anyone out there have a subscription? If so, this is what you are looking for:
