Recommendations to define exercise prescription for Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Exerc Sport Sci Rev.

Abstract
Duchenne muscular dystrophy yields pervasive and progressive muscle weakness. This weakness may be attenuated by regular, low-intensity exercise. However, there is a critical lack of data to support appropriate exercise prescription. Because inappropriate activity may exacerbate the dystrophic process, a systematic analysis of muscle function to determine potential exercise load thresholds to avoid injury in dystrophic mice and dogs, and then in humans, is recommended.
