Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of an 8-week resistance exercise training program on skeletal muscle quality, functional capacity, and quality of life in young individuals aged 15 to 29 years, with and without Hereditary Sensorimotor Polyneuropathy (HSPN). The main questions to answer are: What is the effect of an 8-week resistance exercise training program on skeletal muscle quality, functional capacity, and quality of life in young individuals with and without HSPN? Will the percentage of improvement after the program be greater in participants with HSPN compared to those without, due to greater baseline alterations? Researchers will compare the resistance exercise training program with baseline conditions to determine its effectiveness in improving skeletal muscle quality, functional capacity, and quality of life. Participants will undergo a supervised lower-limb resistance exercise program (3x/week) for 8 weeks. The intervention will include progressive loads from 60% to 80% of 1-Repetition Maximum (1RM), with exercises targeting the major lower limb muscle groups. All participants will complete pre- and post-intervention evaluations, including ultrasound assessment of muscle architecture, functional capacity tests, strength measurements, body composition analysis, and quality of life questionnaires.

Interventions

OTHERProgressive Resistance Exercise Training

Progressive Resistance Exercise Training Supervised (RET) focusing on lower limbs. Warm-up (5 min cycling), followed by 5 sets of leg press, leg extension, leg curl, and weighted dorsiflexion. Cool-down with flexibility exercises. Load progression from 60% to 80% of 1Repetition Maximum across 8 weeks. Participants must complete ≥80% of sessions. Evaluators of pre- and post-intervention outcomes will be blinded.
