exercise induced asthma (eia) is a transient increase in airway resistance after intensive exercise and can be measured as a decline in forced expiratory volume in one second (fev1). the condition is due to increased training load and inhalation of cold and dry air. several studies have shown that eucapnic voluntary hyperpnea challenge test (evh test) is a very sensitive and specific diagnostic...

BACKGROUND Exercise training is known to improve the shortness of breath experienced by patients with heart disease when the ventilatory pattern becomes abnormal during exercise. However, the precise relationship between breathing patterns and the effect of exercise training has not been elucidated to date. We evaluated the relationship between the effect of exercise training on exercise tolera...

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether physiological cardiac reserve can be measured in man without invasive procedures and whether it is a major determinant of exercise capacity. DESIGN Development of method of measurement and an observational study. SETTING A regional cardiothoracic centre. SUBJECTS 70 subjects with a wide range of cardiac function, from heart failure patients to athletes. ...

The exercise-electrocardiography test shows limited feasibility and diagnostic accuracy for the noninvasive detection of coronary artery disease in hypertensive patients. Recently, the dipyridamole-echocardiography test (two-dimensional echocardiographic monitoring with dipyridamole infusion, up to 0.84 mg/kg over 10 minutes) has been proposed as an exercise-independent method for the diagnosis...

background: hypertension is one of the prevalent and dangerous complications of diabetes mellitus. as it is difficult to control hypertension, the necessity of using new techniques such as non-pharmaceutical methods and complementary therapy is doubled. this study aimed to determine the effect of aerobic exercise on the blood pressure of patients with type 2 diabetes. methods: this study was a ...

abstract   introduction: balance is one of the most important contexts in ageing. improving balance in middle age can prevent falling down in elderly which impose the financial and mental costs to society. imbalance between dominant and non-dominant leg can lead to some problems. that’s way; studying effects of similar exercise on dominant and non-dominant legs of body can prevent problems caus...

abstract background: peritoneal dialysis has a number of complications including increased blood glucose. although exercise has been suggested to resolve this complication, most patients are not active. the present study aimed at determining the effects of twice-weekly, 40-min sessions of pedaling on a stationary bicycle on mean fasting blood sugar (fbs) and 2-h postprandial blood sugar (ppbs) ...

background: multiple sclerosis (ms) is a neurological disease with a variety of signs and symptoms. exercise therapy has been shown to improve physical functions in ms. however, questions about an optimal exercise therapy remain. in this regard, we suggest a combined exercise therapy including aerobic and resistance exercises for ms patients. the study is designed to observe, test and compare t...

BACKGROUND Cardiovascular diseases are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in solid organ transplant recipients. In addition, low physical activity is a risk factor for cardiac and cerebrovascular complications. OBJECTIVES This study examined potential relationships between physical activity, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), risk factors for cardiovascular disease, and an exerci...
