Could you expand on what exactly you mean by endurance training in this
particular context, Anne? Would the following be near the mark:
"Recent literature published by researchers such as Owen and by Dean and Ross,
indicates that a modified, low-intensity regime of aerobic conditioning exercise
within the individual's fatigue tolerance is beneficial in the post-polio
population for maintaining or improving overall endurance and functional work
capacity."

Looking forward to the responses to your question.
