Author | Patients (n) | Protocol (Exercises) | Time (week) | Evaluated Components | Inflammatory markers | Results |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Spector et al. [35] | 5 | Strength Dynamic | 12 | Isometric strength 3 MVC | ↔ CPK ↔ Immune / inflammatory markers | ↑ Isometric strength ↑ 3 MVC ↔ Increased cross-sectional area |
Arnardottir et al. [39] | 7 | Strength Dynamic | 12 | Isometric strength | ↔ CPK ↔ Cytokines ↔ Adhesion molecules | ↑ Isometric strength |
Johnson et al. [32] | 7 | Aerobic | 12 | VO2 peak Functional Capacity | ↔ CPK | ↑ VO2 peak ↔ Functional capacity |
|  | 7 | Strength Dynamic | 16 | Muscle strength Functional capacity | ↔ CPK | ↑ Muscle strength ↑ Functional capacity |
