A Systematic Review investigating the Effectiveness of Exercise training in Glycogen Storage Diseases.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Glycogen storage diseases (GSDs) are rare inborn errors of carbohydrate metabolism typically with skeletal muscle and liver involvement. In those with skeletal muscle involvement, the majority display symptoms of exercise intolerance which can cause profound exercise limitation and impair everyday living and quality of life (QoL). There are no curative treatments for GSDs, thus therapeutic options, such as exercise training, are aimed at improving QoL by alleviating signs and symptoms. In order to investigate the effectiveness of exercise training in adults with GSDs, we systematically reviewed the literature.

Methods

In this review we conducted searches within SCOPUS and MEDLINE to identify potential papers for inclusion. These papers were independently assesse
