- Abstract
Chronic fatigue syndrome is characterized by continued fatigue of unknown aetiology that lasts longer than 6 months. Chronic fatigue syndrome is described as myalgic encephalopathy. Various multifactorial causes are implicated in pathogenesis. Typical symptoms include fatigue, sleep problems, muscle pain, headache, concentration problems. Fatigue in patients leads to a significant impairment of quality of life. Patients often have psychological symptoms. Therapeutic options in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome include exercise and cognitive-behavioural therapy. Optimal timing of the daily program and sleep management play an important role for patients. The most common types of exercise with potential effect in patients include aerobic exercise, graded exercise, strength exercise. Exercise in patients is associated with improvements in fatigue, cognitive abilities and depressive manifestations. Sub-optimal intensity of exercise dose may lead to worsening of symptoms.
