How it works

Avoids triggering the post-exertional immune and metabolic cascade. Allows cellular energy systems to stabilise between activities.

Requires learning to recognise personal energy limits before fatigue hits. Heart rate monitoring (keeping HR below 60% max) is a useful objective guide. Fundamentally different from graded exercise β€” do NOT push through crashes.

Why moderate evidence

Pacing is recommended in UK NICE guidelines (2021), which reversed previous recommendations for graded exercise therapy. Patient surveys show strong benefit.

β€œSome improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
