Abstract Purpose A randomized-controlled trial to investigate the efficacy of a 6-month self-paced aquatic exercise intervention on physical function, symptoms and psychosocial measures in individuals with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). Methods Thirty-two diagnosed ME/CFS (55.0 ± 13.9 yr) were randomized into an group (INT, n = 17) or control (CON, 15) for two 20-min sessions per week movements stretches. Pre- post-intervention outcomes included physiological measures, 6-min walk test, hand-grip strength, Sit-to-Stand, Apley’s shoulder Sit–Reach perceived exertion, (FACIT), anxiety/depression (HADS) questionnaires, tiredness pain scores (VAS 0–10 scale). Results The INT significantly increased test distance (13.7%, P < 0.001), Sit-to-Stand (33.7%, 0.001) peak expiratory pulmonary flow (12.9%, 0.028) post-intervention. Fatigue (29.5%, 0.005), depression (21.7%, 0.010), combined (16.9%, 0.047) resting diastolic blood pressure (4.8%, also improved group. lower compared CON (− 4.0 10.4 vs + 4.3 10.7 cm, 0.034). There no adverse events worsening during trial. Conclusions Self-paced, low–moderate-intensity distance, limb fatigue, without symptoms. This mode low-intensity activity may confer mental health benefits provided is within patient energy limits.
