Feasibility of resistance training in adult McArdle patients: Clinical outcomes and muscle strength and mass benefits

We analyzed the effects of a 4-month resistance (weight lifting) training program followed by a 2-month detraining period in 7 adult McArdle patients (5 female) on: muscle mass (assessed by DXA), strength, serum creatine kinase (CK) activity and clinical severity.
