Abstract

In a previous post, we demonstrated that the symptoms and physiology of postexertional symptom exacerbation (PESE) are inconsistent with deconditioning. PESE worsens in response to exercise and demonstrates a variable clinical presentation. We will build a clinical rationale for energy system first aid as a place to start helping people with PESE.
