Different diagnostic criteria apply to people with idiopathic chronic fatigue and those with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).

Interventions

The workouts began with a five- to ten-minute warm-up on the treadmill and concluded with an equally extended cool-down. Using the Karvonen method, for exercise intensities range from 60 to 75 percent of heart rate reserve during a 35-minute group cumulative exercise session.
