Brief Summary

This study examines the effects of individualized diet and exercise plans on muscle strength, quality of life and respiratory function in Pompe disease. Subjects will be given a diet and exercise plan based on their individual needs, which will be followed for 16 weeks. Participants will also be provided with an activity tracker in order to track their exercise activities, access to an app that will allow them to input their daily food intake, and they will also come to the University of Florida for exercise tests, respiratory tests and questionnaires.

Conditions

Pompe Disease; Glycogen Storage Disease Type II; Lysosomal Storage Diseases

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Change in results of Brief Patient-Reported Outcomes Quality of Life (PROQOL)

  The PROQOL assesses quality of life and health status to improve patient care

  Baseline, Month 4

• Change in FVC

  Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) is the amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled after a full inspiration, and is an indicator of overall respiratory function

  Baseline, Month 4

• Change in overall QMT score

  Quantitative muscle testing (QMT) measures peripheral muscle strength

  Baseline, Month 4

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Compliance to diet and exercise plans

  Month 4

Study Arms (1)

Diet and Exercise

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients will be given an individualized diet and exercise plan by a physical therapist and registered dietician. The diet and exercise plan will be carried out by the participant for 16 weeks. The exercise plan, an aerobic and strength training regimen, will be performed under the supervision of a personal trainer or certified exercise physiologist that is local to the participant. The participant will complete core-stabilizing exercises which can be performed at home or in an approved group class. The participant will wear an activity tracker at all times during this 16 week period, and will be asked to manually enter data into a phone app, such as daily food intake and weight.

Other: Diet and Exercise

Interventions

Diet and Exercise OTHER

Exercise will consist of 2x/week aerobic exercise, 2x/week strength training and 1x/week core-stabilizing exercise. Diet will be constructed so that 30% of the daily caloric goal will be protein, 35% fat, and 35% carbohydrates.
