Regular, low-intensity exercise can reduce fatigue

A recent University of Georgia study determined that low-intensity exercise can reduce fatigue and increase energy. What? What's that you say? You say you already knew that? Uh... me too. Where this recent study differed was that, instead of studying patients with cancer or other fatigue-inducing illnesses, they studied regular (but tired) Joes. Researchers say that about 25% of the population is fatigued, yet doesn't meet a clinical diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome.

The study participants were broken into three groups. The first exercised at a moderate level, the second exercised at a low intensity, and the third didn't exercise at all. Both the low and moderate exercise groups saw an improvement in their energy, but the low-intensity exercise group saw the most improvement in the fatigue symptoms. In fact, they saw a 65% reduction in fatigue.
