Cognitive performance was assessed using the Brief International Cognitive Assessment for MS at entry ( t0) and discharge ( t1). Furthermore, VO2-peak, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, serotonin and matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-2 and -9 were measured.Compared to CT, HIT significantly improved verbal memory. Significant improvements over time in executive functions were found in both groups. Secondary outcomes indicated significant improvements in VO2-peak and a significant reduction in MMP-2 in the HIT group only.HIT represents a promising strategy to improve verbal memory and physical fitness in persons with MS. Further research is needed to determine the impact of exercise on biomarkers in MS.}, cin = {G210}, ddc = {610}, cid = {I:(DE-He78)G210-20160331}, pnm = {317 - Translational cancer research (POF3-317)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF3-317}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, pubmed = {pmid:28825348}, doi = {10.1177/1352458517728342}, url = {https://inrepo02.dkfz.de/record/141261}, }
