Relevance – Physical activity may be directly related to cognitive performance in CFS patients but this relationship has not been previously examined.

Association between cognitive performance, physical fitness, and physical activity level in women with chronic fatigue syndrome. J Rehabil Res Dev. 2013;50(6):XX–XX. http://dx.doi.org/10.1682/JRRD.2012.08.0156 Slideshow Project DOI:10.1682/JRRD.2012.08.0156JSP Results CFS patients: – Lower peak oxygen uptake and peak heart rate associated with slower psychomotor speed. – Maximal handgrip strength correlated with working memory performance. – Lower choice and simple reaction time.
