Why do chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) symptoms increase after exercise?

Researchers at the Faculty of Physical Education and Physiotherapy in Belgium reported increases in both fatigue and pain after a walking exercise in people with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). Furthermore, pain increase was also still noted 24 hours after exercise. Although exercise is typically expected to increase the levels of pain-relieving chemicals, such as endorphins, in healthy individuals, research by Whiteside and colleagues showed that pain thresholds actually decreased with exercise in people with chronic fatigue.

This study suggests that these people have an abnormal biological response to exercise, resulting in increased perceptions of and sensitivity to pain and fatigue and, consequently, symptoms such as post-exertional malaise or fatigue.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
