- Graded exercise therapy (GET) is a controversial intervention technique that proposes physical activity as the principal treatment method for addressing the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome. It promotes engagement in a program of physical activity that starts very slowly and gradually increases over time. This approach was originally proposed as part of a treatment plan for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), also referred to as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), and claims to avoid the extremes of the "push-crash" cycle of over-exercising during remittance or not exercising at all due to concern of relapse. Typically the GET program begins with active stretching, followed by range-of-motion contractions and extensions, done for five minutes per day for a completely inactive individual. Avoiding extremes is key, and activity must be balanced with rest. Exercise sessions are preset by the number of repetitions or amount of time, which are to be increased gradually over time. The duration is to be determined by the patient using trial and error, with the goal of stopping before becoming tired. (en)
