Exercise mode/N | Duration | Frequesncy | Intensity | Improved outcome |
---|---|---|---|---|
Cycling and Strength N = 5 (36) |
20 weeks | 3 days/week 10-15 min/session (week 1-3) 30 min/session (week 4-20) |
Week 1-3: Cycling at level 1-2 Strength: ¼ squat, leg curl, knee raise, push-ups against a wall, back extensions, as well as sit ups, ¼ overhead press, elbow extensions and elbow curl 50% of 1RM, 2 sets x 10 reps Week 4-20: Cycling at level 2-4 50% of 1RM, 3 sets x 10 reps |
Strength increased and 6MWT |
Cycling, strength, and core stability N = 23 (37) |
12 weeks | 3 days/week | 60% of VO2max 70% of 4RM One session consisted of: 5 minutes warm up 15 minutes cycling Shoulder extension, flexion and abduction, elbow flexion, knee extension and flexion, hip flexion, abduction and adduction: 3 sets x 15-20 reps 15 minutes cycling 3 x 30 seconds: Abdominal bridge, side bridge, back bridge |
Climb 4 steps, muscle, strength in shoulder abductors and hip flexors, 6MWT, rise from supine to standing, workload, VO2max, ventilatory threshold, and core stability |
High-protein and low-carbohydrate nutrition and exercise therapy Treadmill and upper body ergometer N = 34 (22 complied with nutrition and exercise therapy (38) |
2y-10y | Daily 45 min/session on treadmill 10-15 min/session upper body ergometer |
Not exceed RPE of 11–12 | Slowing of deterioration in muscle function |
SAVT N = 1 (39) |
15 weeks | One cycle: 60 seconds vibration-on 60 seconds vibration-off |
Vibration frequency 5 Hz, progressing to 20 Hz by week 11, and continuing at 20 Hz to week 15 Starting with two cycles initially, progressing to four cycles by week 11 and continuing with four cycles to week 15. |
Improved strength and 6MWT |
