Lifestyle
Pacing and Energy Management
for Fatigue
Pacing involves carefully managing activity within an individual's energy envelope — neither overexerting nor underexerting — to prevent post-exertional malaise and build sustainable function.
How it works
Prevents the boom-and-bust cycle that perpetuates fatigue. Staying within the aerobic threshold prevents anaerobic metabolism and the crash that follows overexertion in conditions like ME/CFS.
What to watch for
Particularly relevant for ME/CFS and post-viral fatigue. The goal is sustainable activity, not rest alone. Heart rate monitoring can help identify individual thresholds.
