=== A U-turn towards time contingent-exercise === In 2012 (after the first results of the controverial [[PACE trial|PACE-trial]] were published) the research group of Nijs made a U-turn and started advocating a time-contingent form of graded exercise.<ref name="Cauwenbergh2012" /> This position was criticized by [[Tom Kindlon]]<ref name="Kindlon2012">{{Cite journal | last = Kindlon | first = Tom | authorlink = Tom Kindlon | date = 2012 | title = Objective compliance and outcome measures should be used in trials of exercise interventions for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome | url = https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1365-2362.2012.02724.x|journal=European Journal of Clinical Investigation|language=en|volume=42|issue=12|pages=1360–1361|doi=10.1111/j.1365-2362.2012.02724.x|issn=1365-2362}}</ref> who pointed out that studies supporting graded exercise therapy were almost solely based on subjective measures. Nijs et al. responded: <blockquote>"We agree with [[Tom Kindlon]] that such evidence is based on self-report rather than on objective measures, but in the end of the day, patients prefer treatments that make them feel better (subjectively) over treatments that improve objective blood results (but at the same time leave them feeling sick)."<ref name="Time2012">{{Cite journal | title = Time-contingent pacing and exercise therapy accounting for postexertional malaise and central sensitization in chronic fatigue (central sensitivity) syndrome | date = 2012-09-15 | url = https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1365-2362.2012.02722.x|journal=European Journal of Clinical Investigation|volume=42|issue=12|pages=1363–1365 | last = Nijs | first = Jo | last2 = Van Cauwenbergh | first2 = Deborah | last3 = De Kooning | first3 = Margot | last4 = Ickmans | first4 = Kelly|doi=10.1111/j.1365-2362.2012.02722.x|issn=0014-2972}}</ref></blockquote>Regarding the argument that numerous patients surveys had shown that GET can have detrimental effects on the health of ME/CFS patients, Nijs et al. replied: <blockquote>"Such surveys have value, but from a scientific viewpoint, it remains an unanswered question who filled out these surveys (nothing but patients with ME/CFS diagnosed by a physician?), to what extent selection bias, suggestion and recall bias have contributed to the study findings, etc. One cannot exclude the possibility that the survey results reflect the difficulty of clinicians around the globe to apply exercise therapy for patients with ME/CFS."<ref name="Time2012" /></blockquote>
