Exercise intolerance is a common presenting symptom. The physiology of exercise intolerance in illustrative neurologic diseases is reviewed. Roles for exercise testing are identified, particularly in the evaluation of metabolic myopathies. The potential benefits of low intensity aerobic exercise training are described.
