The Effect of Exercise on Muscle Dysfunction in Cystinosis
Study Overview
Detailed Description
High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) has been frequently used and studied in normal populations. HIIT exercise shows improved exercise capacity with possible benefits to the neuroendocrine system and neurotransmitters associated with well-being. In this study, we plan to compare aerobic capacity changes during seated HIIT aerobic exercise of individuals with Cystinosis Myopathy. Additionally, we will assess peripheral fatigue using quantitative strength force production and slope decline before and after HIIT aerobic training.
High Intensity interval training: HIIT is a type of interval training that alternates between intense efforts and less intense recovery periods. Benefits include improved aerobic capacity, anaerobic energy, oxygen transport, lactate clearance and neuromuscular coordination. In this study, participants will train at maximal intensities (90-95% of VO2 Max) to place less strain on the neuromuscular system. The goal is to work at longer time periods above the lactate threshold causing an increase in blood lactate concentrations and improve muscles ability to oxidize fats and carbohydrates . Other studies have shown cardiovascular benefits of improved heart volume, maximal mitochondrial capacity and cardiac efficiency. HIIT training compared to regular moderate intensity exercise shows no difference in safety risk for individuals who are sedentary, have heart disease or stroke. However, compared to continuous exercise, HIIT appears to have improved oxygen consumption, blood vessel function, and glucose metabolism in healthy individuals .
Methods:
Ten participants who consent to participate in this exercise study, with no history or evidence of cardiomyopathy or conduction abnormality, and pass screening assessment for ability to complete the training program will be included and provided with an activity monitor, lower/upper extremity ergometer and remote fitness application that the participant will follow for the in-home training.
This study will be a HIIT based home exercise program where participants will perform the lower extremity ergometer based on a HIIT protocol 3x week for 20-30 minutes for a total of 8 weeks.
Baseline and end of training assessments will include MRI, muscle biopsy, strength and functional assessments including VO2 Max exercise testing and Timed Up and Go (TUG) tests. Participants will be provided hands on training to use the exercise ergometer, activity monitor, heart rate monitor, and exercise plan. The activity monitor will be programmed so that the researchers have access to monitor the patient's activity to ensure adherence to the program and changes in activity level. Additionally, a HIIT based fitness application will be installed on the participant's phone. The fitness application will be used as a guided exercise program and also allow the researchers a secondary method to monitor exercise adherence. The researchers will have access to the participant's Fitbit and fitness application use to monitor compliance. Participants who miss one session will be contacted by researchers as a reminder to follow the exercise plan. Skype sessions will be used as needed based on participant adherence or as needed for safety.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
VO2 max testing
Time Frame: 30-45 minutes
|
Patients will undergo exercise stress testing using a recumbent cycle ergometry pre and post exercise intervention: Baseline and after week 12.
We will use a ramping protocol to maintain a pedal cadence between 50-80RPM which will yield progressive workload increments of 5-10 Watts.
Participants will be continuously monitored for any discomfort or pain that they may experience.
Maximal effort will be verified as volitional fatigue (OMNI Scale≥8, the inability to maintain pedal cadence at 50 rpm for 10 or more seconds, and/or respiratory exchange ratio (RER; carbon dioxide production/oxygen uptake)>1.0).
Standard ACSM exercise termination criteria will be applied.
Measurements will end immediately following exercise.
Using this method, peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) will be identified as the highest oxygen uptake measured during exercise.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Biodex Quantiive muscle testing
Time Frame: 30 minutes
|
Biodex isokinetic dynamometer is used for testing strength throughout an entire arc of range of motion.
It is commonly used to assess strength and well validated in the orthopedic field.
Patients will undergo testing of both knee extensors and flexors strength as part of this protocol.
Each participant will be tested in a seated position with hip flexion at 110-125 degrees; stabilization straps will be applied at the trunk and thighs.
The resistance pad will be placed proximally at the medial malleolus.
Range of motion at the knee will be set from 0-90 degrees.
Vocal encouragement will be provided during the test and standardized for consistency between measures.
Average power and H/Q ratios will be calculated and reported by the Biodex.
|
30 minutes
|
Timed up and Go (TUG) Test
Time Frame: 5 minutes
|
This is a functional timed test requiring the participant to get up from a chair walk 3 meters and sit back down in the chair.
It has been used to asses function and balance.
|
5 minutes
|
Activity Monitor
Time Frame: 24 hours
|
We will use an activity monitor to be worn by the participant throughout the trial.
For this study, participants will be issued fitbit that will estimate characteristics of physical activity.
The activity monitor will help determine adherence to the exercise intervention via monitoring of the clinical research team for increased exercise at times and frequencies indicated by the protocol.
Additionally, this will give us a measurable tool to assess possible changes in activity while on the study.
We will compare baseline measures to changes at the end of the 12 week intervention program.
|
24 hours
|
Activity Questionnaire
Time Frame: 5 minutes
|
We will conduct a the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ).
It is developed to assess physical activity and sedentary lifestyle among people 15-69 years old.
There are 5 activity domains that should be answered based on activity in the last 7 days.
It has 3 categorical levels of scoring with 1 being low and 3 high.
It will be provided to all participants before the start of the intervention, 8 weeks and 12 weeks.
This questionnaire will help determine any changes in behavior or activity during the exercise intervention period.
The questionnaire asks about amount of time the participant participates in organized sports, gym, outdoor activities, and physical exercise.
This activity monitor has been used in a Cystinosis natural history study.
