Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a debilitating condition characterized by a number of symptoms which typically worsen following minimal exertion. Various strategies to manage the limited energy levels have been proposed. Of these, pacing has been consistently rated as one of the most helpful in surveys conducted by patient groups. This review is a response to the paucity of the information on pacing in the scientific literature.
We describe the principle of pacing and how this can be adapted to meet individual abilities and preferences. A critical evaluation of the research was conducted to ascertain the benefits and limitations of this strategy.
Based on various studies, it is proposed that pacing can help to stabilize the condition and avoid post-exertional malaise.
Pacing offers practitioners an additional therapeutic option which is acceptable to the majority of patients and can reduce the severity of the exertion-related symptoms of ME/CFS.
肌痛性脑脊髓炎/慢性疲劳综合征（ME/CFS）是一种使人虚弱的疾病，其特征是存在许多症状，这些症状通常在轻微活动后恶化。已经提出了各种管理有限能量水平的策略。在患者群体进行的调查中，这些策略中一直一致认为，有节奏的运动是最有帮助的策略之一。这篇综述是对科学文献中关于有节奏的运动信息不足的回应。
我们描述了有节奏的运动的原则，以及如何根据个人能力和喜好来调整这一原则。我们对研究进行了批判性评估，以确定这一策略的益处和局限性。
基于各种研究，提出有节奏的运动可以帮助稳定病情并避免活动后不适。
有节奏的运动为从业者提供了另一种可接受的治疗选择，并且可以减轻 ME/CFS 的与劳累相关的症状的严重程度。
