Abstract Reliable monitoring of one’s response to exercise intensity is imperative effectively plan and manage training, but not always practical in impact sports settings. This study aimed evaluate if an inexpensive mobile cardio-respiratory system can achieve similar performance a metabolic cart estimating rated perceived exertion. Eight adult men volunteered perform treadmill tests under dif...

Mrs JH is a 90 year old NZ European female with severe aortic stenosis (AS), who has had eight admissions in the previous twelve months with cardiogenic syncope, preceded by dyspnoea and palpitations on mild exertion. During this admission, she complained of dyspnoea on minimal exertion, but denied any chest pain. She was previously declined aortic valve replacement given her high surgical risk...

The purpose of this study was to assess whether a treadmill mile is an acceptable FitnessGram Test substitute for the traditional one-mile run for middle school boys and girls. Peak heart rate and perceived physical exertion of the participants were also measured to assess students' effort. 48 boys and 40 girls participated, with approximately 85% classified as Hispanic. Boys' mean time for the...

Our knowledge of concussions has increased and our treatment has changed substantially in recent years based on new research. Some of the major changes include the awareness that "minor head injuries," frequently called "bell-ringers or dings," are in fact concussions; many relatively minor head injuries take longer to heal than previously believed; concussions can occur without loss of conscio...

Three years earlier, he had started to develop progressive worsening of dyspnea, which was initially triggered by severe exertion. One year earlier, dyspnea started to be triggered by moderate exertion and was associated with tachycardic palpitations. The patient sought medical care in a primary health care unit where he was prescribed medications, the names of which he could not recall. He imp...

The purpose of this study is to report the effect Korean medicine on a squamous cell lung cancer patient with chemotherapy induction peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). A 61-year old male patient, who had received 4 cycles after surgery from cancer, was treated acupuncture and herbal medicines, including Uchasingi-hwan Samchilchoongcho-capsule, control CIPN dyspnea exertion. degree pain assessed by n...

OBJECTIVE The objective was to investigate effects of dieted weight reduction on walking ability in obese women. METHODS Fifty-seven obese women 44.1 +/- 10.7 years, body mass index 37.1 +/- 3.4 kg x m(-2) performed an indoor walking test. Speed, oxygen consumption and heart rate were measured, perceived exertion and pain graded and oxygen cost calculated. Maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max/kg) wa...

Exertion-oriented space computing is a valuable advance in distributed and parallel computing seeing as it abstracts out several major problems in distributed computing, such as load balancing and mutual exclusion. The main problem with space computing is that of security due to the fact that exertion spaces are inherently public and ad hoc, thus making it difficult to implement secure groups. ...

The purpose of this study was to determine if exertion influences the ONSD in healthy individuals. Healthy adults were eligible for inclusion. Activities were performed by each participant for 60 seconds and were as follows: sprinting, holding a 10-pound weight with both arms outstretched parallel to the floor, a Valsalva maneuver, a plank position, and positioning the head down thirty degrees ...
