Abstract

This study aimed to examine the willingness of MS patients to endure a cost (minutes exercising) to achieve an immediate or delayed benefit (MS-related symptom relief) using a novel Exercise Willingness Task. Results show symptom severity rather than weight impacts willingness and that as benefit increases, willingness to exercise increases.
