Study Significance: This proposed investigation is designed to examine the feasibility of an exercise-based intervention to reduce frailty in people living with MS. The proposed research will be the first to establish the feasibility of targeting frailty in pwMS and will begin to examine the dynamic nature of frailty in MS. These advances will pave the way for planned prospective studies toward effective targets for diagnostics, and rehabilitation of frailty in MS.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Control Group | Other | Participants randomized to the control group will be put on a waitlist (passive control group) for 6 weeks. Upon completion of post-training assessment, participants in the control group will be able to receive the intervention, if they wish so. |
|
| Multimodal Exercise Group | Experimental | Participants will complete 15 minutes of virtual reality treadmill training (VRTT), followed by 30 minutes of progressive evidence-based resistance training (RT), followed by other 15 minutes of VRTT. |
