Hamilton (Ontario): A new study led by McMaster University has found that regular cycling can greatly improve mobility in patients with myotonic dystrophy (MD is part of a group of inherited disorders called muscular dystrophies), which is a genetic disease that causes muscle degeneration.
The results of the study were published in the journal, 'Journal of Clinical Investigation'.Senior author Mark Tarnopolsky said that cycling for 35 minutes three times a week for 12 weeks led to a 32 per cent increase in overall fitness in people with MD.
