Join the Movement: Empowering MS through Exercise Medicine with the Exercise Neuroscience Research Laboratory
About us
Exercise Medicine for Multiple Sclerosis is a group dedicated to promoting the benefits of exercise as a therapeutic intervention for individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS). Our group is designed to be a platform for those interested in discussing and sharing the latest research, resources, and strategies related to exercise and MS. We welcome healthcare professionals, researchers, individuals living with MS, caregivers, and anyone else interested in learning about the positive impact of exercise on MS. Join us to connect with like-minded individuals, exchange ideas, and stay informed about the latest developments in this field. Meet the Moderators: The Exercise Neuroscience Research Laboratory (ENRL) is located at the University of Illinois Chicago. Our mission is to advance our understanding of MS through research and to provide resources and support to those living with MS. Our research focuses on the role of exercise and physical activity in managing MS symptoms and improving quality of life. We understand that living with MS can be challenging, and we are committed to providing support and resources to those affected by this condition. We believe that collaboration is key to advancing our understanding of MS and developing effective treatments.

A huge thanks to the Chicago Hispanic Health Coalition for hosting a very successful 18th Annual ¡Vive tu Vida! Get Up! Get Moving!® Chicago this past weekend! ENRL members Denise Gomez and Dr. Victoria Flores appreciated the opportunity to interact with attendees and spread awareness about the benefits of physical activity for those with and without multiple sclerosis. To learn more about Dr. Flores's project on the benefits of exercise for the Hispanic/Latino population with MS in Chicago, visit: https://lnkd.in/g9xNMVE6. #multiplesclerosis #communityhealth #hispanichealth #latinohealth #latinxhealth

Exercise Medicine for Multiple Sclerosis reposted this
Very happy to finally see this paper published in with an incredible team of experts in the neuroscience of physical activity. We argue that, given the current level of evidence, it seems necessary to not underestimate the cognitive benefits of exercise! Link to the paper here: https://lnkd.in/eZsp6-bk

Dr. Victoria Flores, a postdoctoral research associate at the UIC ENRL interviewed with C3EN this past week about her pilot study “Feasibility of Remote Exercise Training for Hispanics/Latinos with MS (FERLAMS),” which aims to improve physical and mental health outcomes for Hispanic/Latino populations in Chicago through a remotely-delivered exercise program. Read more about focus on representation, the remote exercise program, and the exploratory approach Dr. Flores will undertake to improve the quality of life for this population living with MS here: https://lnkd.in/geEGRvgy #muliplesclerosis #hispanic #latino #healthequity #MSresearch

"This study provides evidence for feasibility and initial efficacy of a COM-B-based PA intervention for persons newly diagnosed with MS. The results indicate that this intervention was feasible, safe, acceptable, and promising for promoting lifestyle PA in persons newly diagnosed with MS." Read the full article by Drs. Trinh (Lexi) Huynh, Beth Barstow, and Rob Motl here: https://lnkd.in/g6Ypmb_8 #multiplesclerosis #MSresearch #newlydiagnosedMS

This trial focuses on the long-term stimulating effects that high intensity interval training (HIIT) programs have on those with multiple sclerosis (MS) with a walking disability. The 12-week program aimed to improve aerobic capacity, walking, upper arm function, cognition, fatigue, and depression. The participants used adaptive exercise equipment to assist with their HIIT programs, including a recumbent stepper. Results suggested that the participants showed significant improvement in physical activity, fatigue, and peak power output, demonstrating the feasibility of the HIIT program for those with MS and a walking disability. Read the full article by Dr. Stephanie Silveira, Dr. Rob Motl, Dr. David Elmer, Trey Botkin, Tania Ontiveros, Sydney Williams, and Dr. Elizabeth (Lizzie) Hubbard, PhD, CSCS here: https://lnkd.in/gPNDVxSM #multiplesclerosis #msresearch #hiit #exercisemedicine

Congratulations to the ENRL's very own Sydney R. DeJonge, MS! #exerciseoncology
Kinesiology Doctoral Candidate | Graduate TA | Mentor | Exercise Physiology | Cognition | Vascular Function | Multiple Sclerosis | Exercise Oncology | linktr.ee/enrluic
I am excited to announce that I have been awarded a Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award for Individual Predoctoral Fellows (F31) through the National Cancer Institute (NCI)! Having the ability to contribute toward the mission of the NCI by leading, conducting, and contributing to cancer research across the country along with aiming to produce research to help cancer survivors live longer and healthier lives following treatment. This funding will support me through the process of my dissertation project that will be examining the associations and differences among Cognition, Physical Activity, and Vascular Function in Colorectal Cancer Survivors. The funded research and training goals with my collaborating team will help me achieve my short-term goal of completing my dissertation study and support my long-term goal of receiving a post-doctoral fellowship in the field of exercise oncology. Thank you to my advisors Dr. Rob Motl and Dr. Lisa Tussing-Humphreys for helping me pave the way toward success on this award application. Furthermore, I would like to thank my fellow collaborators, lab members (Exercise Medicine for Multiple Sclerosis), AHS research staff (UIC College of Applied Health Sciences), family, and friends that have supported me during this process. I am excited to get started with this project and continue to learn more about the field of exercise oncology through the process!
