ABSTRACT:

Background

Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a genetic disorder affecting the vascular and musculoskeletal systems. Limited knowledge exists regarding the exercise benefits for this population. This study aimed to explore the impact of a structured exercise program on the quality of life (QoL) and physical capabilities of patients with MFS.

Methods and results

This was a randomized, controlled, parallel-group trial. Patients with MFS were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either a training group or a control group. The trial included a 3-month online supervised training program. Seventy patients with MFS were compared with healthy subjects. They were randomized into a training group (MFS-T) and a control group (MFS-C). The training consisted of 2 supervised online sessions weekly for 3 mo
