Which disease has exercise recommendations: 2 to 4 days; light to moderate; 20 to 40 min; strengthening and balance?

• A. Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.
• B. Alzheimer's disease.
• C. Lewy body dementia.
• D. Schizophrenia.

Answer: (A)

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease involves distal muscle weakness and balance problems from a peripheral neuropathy, so the exercise plan centers on staying active in short, manageable sessions while building strength where it’s needed most and improving balance to reduce falls. This is why a program of 2 to 4 days per week, light to moderate intensity, 20 to 40 minutes per session, plus dedicated strengthening and balance work, fits well: it supports gradual improvement in lower-limb strength and stability without overfatigue. The other listed conditions—Alzheimer’s disease, Lewy body dementia, and schizophrenia—have different symptom patterns and typically follow exercise guidelines that emphasize cognitive benefits or psychiatric management rather than this exact mix of frequency, duration, intensity, and targeted strengthening/balance.
