简要总结
The proposed project will evaluate two methods of implementation of the new Physical Activity Guidelines (PAGs) for Adults with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) living in two Ontario communities. The investigators will also determine if following the PAGs will improve aspects of fitness, function, quality of life and risk for cardiometabolic disease in this population. The investigators hypothesize that adherence to the PAGs will be higher in people who have been referred directly to a community-based exercise program, and that this greater adherence to physical activity will be associated with greater improvements in fitness, function and quality of life.
This randomized controlled trial will provide important information on how best to implement physical activity recommendations within the community setting; this information will be translated to key stakeholders during the final stages of the project.

研究组 & 干预措施
Direct Referral to Physical Activity
The REF group will be referred to a centre-based community exercise program in their respective community (either the MacWheelers or Revved Up) by a clinical neurologist where they will be prescribed exercise based on the PAGs for adults with MS, and according to their individual capabilities.
干预措施: Direct Referral to physical activity (Other)
Control
The CON group will be provided with a print copy of the PAGs and a link to an online resource for physical activity information.
结局指标
主要结局
Adherence to the Physical Activity Guidelines
时间窗: 3 years
Adherence to the physical activity guidelines will be analyzed by having participants fill in a weekly physical activity log that will be sent to them by email.
次要结局

- Fatigue(At baseline and after the 16 week intervention)
- Blood markers of cardiovascular disease risk(At baseline and after the 16 week intervention)
- Perceived Quality of Life(At baseline and after the 16 week intervention)
- Mobility(At baseline and after the 16 week intervention)
