Patients showed a consistent link between higher physical HRQoL scores and higher CRF. Patients fulfilling leisure time PA recommendations showed higher CRF and physical HRQoL scores than those not meeting guideline recommendations. According to normative data for healthy subjects, CRF and physical HRQoL are severely impaired in adult patients with McArdle disease.
