The purpose of this research was to analyze the effect of combined (resistance and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) training for 8 weeks on fatigue and quality of life in multiple sclerosis patients. Materials & Methods: This semi-experimental study was done in 2013. Samples were 37 women and men patients with multiple sclerosis which were divided to experimental (n=19) and control (n=18) groups. The experimental group participated in combined training program for 8 weeks. Fatigue and quality of life were evaluated before and after training protocol. Data were analyzed using independent and dependent T tests and MANOVA test with LSD post hoc. Findings: 8 weeks of combined training decreased the fatigue and increased the quality of life and its subscales (physical health composite, mental health composite) significantly (p=0.001). Conclusion: Combined training causes decreasing of fatigue and increasing of quality of life in multiple sclerosis patients }, URL = {http://imtj.gmu.ac.ir/article-1-2135-en.html}, eprint = {http://imtj.gmu.ac.ir/article-1-2135-en.pdf}, journal = {Internal Medicine Today}, doi = {10.18869/acadpub.hms.22.1.43}, year = {2016} }
