Philosophers have often noted a contrast between practical and theoretical reasons when it comes to cases involving equally balanced reasons. When there are strong for A-ing, some incompatible option, B-ing, the agent is permitted make an arbitrary choice them, having sufficient reason A B. But evidence P ~ P, one isn’t simply believe or other. Instead, must withhold belief, neither believing t...

ABSTRACT Introduction: Coronary heart disease refers to coronary atherosclerosis caused by various reasons. Objective: To study the effect of acupuncture combined with exercise on patients after PCI (percutaneous intervention). Methods: 50 high blood pressure were selected. Patients in group A received regular medication and health education. B exercise. Results: After 12 weeks therapy, patient...

BACKGROUND Physical activity and symptom questionnaires have been used as surrogates for exercise testing to estimate a patient's functional capacity and to individualize an exercise testing protocol in accordance with exercise testing guidelines. To validate these approaches, they must be compared with measured oxygen uptake (peak VO (2)). METHODS Before exercise testing was performed, a bri...

INTRODUCTION Exercise oxygen pulse (O₂ pulse), a surrogate for stroke volume and arteriovenous oxygen difference, has emerged as an important variable obtained during cardiopulmonary exercise testing. OBJECTIVES We hypothesized that the O₂ pulse curve pattern response to a maximal cycling ramp protocol exhibits a stable linear pattern in subjects reevaluated under the same clinical conditions...

PURPOSE Evaluation of metabolic parameters and cardiac function is important to determine the decrease in aerobic exercise capacity under hypoxic conditions. However, the variations in metabolic parameters and cardiac function and the reasons for the decrease in aerobic exercise capacity under hypoxic conditions have not been clearly explained. The purpose of this study was to compare the respo...

Abstract Background Exercise referral schemes (ERS) aim to tackle non-communicable disease (NCD) by increasing physical activity levels through prescribed exercise. However, there is a sparsity of knowledge upon what exercises are and if they targeted towards tackling NCD. Method Mixed methods were employed. Quantitative data was extracted from exercise prescription cards 50 participants assess...
