More Details: Myotonic dystrophy Type 1 (DM1) is a neuromuscular disease characterized by multisystemic involvement including a progressive loss of muscle mass and strength. Further investigation on the effect of exercise in adults with DM1 is needed to incorporate impactful recent findings to better understand the utility of exercise as an intervention. This review aims to summarize and appraise the literature on the effects of aerobic and strength training on clinical and physiological variables in adults with DM1. Six online databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, EMBASE, and CENTRAL) will be searched using appropriate search terms. Two reviewers will independently screen the relevant studies and extract the data from the selected articles. The methodological quality of the studies included will be assessed using the Joanna Briggs Critical Appraisal checklist. A meta-analysis will be performed if appropriate. This systematic review and meta-analysis will summarize, synthesize, and appraise evidence on the effect of aerobic and strength training on clinical and physiological variables in adults with DM1. The findings of this review will help in clinical decision-making and guide future researchers working with this patient population.
