Summary
Effects of exercise in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome.

Fig. 2. VAS ratings of mental fatigue measured during functional brain imaging pre- and 24-h post-exercise. Data are presented during each PASAT segment (1, 2 &3). Participants provided ratings of mental fatigue following each PASAT segment (1, 2 & 3). There were significant main effects for Time (F = 20.2, p < 0.001) and Group (F = 86.3, p < 0.001) and a significant Group by Time interaction (F = 5.5, p = 0.005).
