Summary

This phase of the project aims to compare in-person, supervised educational programs (EP) with online self-guided EPs in individuals with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. A total of 75 participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: a supervised and individualized educational program focused on HIIT training, a supervised and individualized educational program focused on strength training, and a non-supervised, self-guided educational program based on resistance band training. Additionally, sessions on the Mediterranean diet (both supervised and non-supervised) and cognitive-behavioral interventions will be included. A control evaluation will be conducted three months after the intervention to assess the effects of the educational programs, followed by another evaluation three months later to analyze residual effects. Women who participated in Phase 1 of the study will be invited to take part in this second phase.

Conditions

• Multiple Sclerosis (MS) - Relapsing-remitting

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Strength training, nutrition, and behavioral training	This arm of the study consists of a supervised strength training program, conducted over 12 weeks with three weekly sessions. The sessions follow a wave-like periodization, with intensities ranging from 70% to 85% of 1-RM. Exercises focus on enhancing neuromuscular strength in the lower limbs, such as leg presses and hip extensions, under the supervision of a multidisciplinary team. Participants will also receive nutritional guidance based on the Mediterranean diet, as well as cognitive-behavioral therapy strategies aimed at optimizing fatigue management and boosting energy levels.
OTHER	Self-Guided and Unsupervised Program with General Recommendations	This arm of the study consists of a self-guided and unsupervised program based on physical exercise (3 times per week), nutrition, and cognitive-behavioral habits. Participants will access online modules that provide guidelines for performing resistance exercises with bands, dietary recommendations following the principles of the Mediterranean diet, and cognitive-behavioral techniques for fatigue management.
