that is concurrently experiencing, expressing and social
(embodiment) (20). Thus, what is experienced by an individual
during an exercise intervent ion is constituted by her
sensorimotor repertoire for perception and action in
interactions with the requirements of the task and the context
(21). From this perspective, dysfunctions related to MS, such as
sensorimotor impairments, can in ﬂuence how individuals with
MS interpret and understand their participation in a PA
intervention. Moreover, the notion of“participatory sense-
making” (22) extends the body into the social domain,
enabling an understanding of how the interaction processes
between two embodied individualsaffect shared and individual
meaning-making. These concepts may illuminate pwMS ’s
experiences and direct the focus toward bodily, contextual, and
interactional aspects that may generate new insights regarding
sensorimotor exercise and high-intensity training as part of PA.
The aim of this study was to explore participants’ experiences
of the content, delivery and setting of a new outdoor group
intervention combining high-intensity training and detailed
exercises to generate new knowledge about important aspects of
exercise interventions for pwMS with low disability.
1GroupCoreDIST is a group-based intervention (Group), involving 35
exercises at different levels, addressing activation of trunk musculature
(Core) in motor tasks in lying, sitting and standing (e.g. rolling, reaching,
squatting, single leg stance. DIST describes essential elements of the
concept: D = dose (high), dual task; I = individualization, insight, intensity;
S = sensorimotor activation, selective movement control; T = task
oriented training.
