Respiratory function tests; exercise test; child. The maximal cardiorespiratory test on treadmill or bicycle ergometer is used to evaluate the cardiac, vascular, respiratory and metabolic performance in both healthy and sick individuals, in addition to determine the physiopathological causes that limit it1. The protocols are selected according to the objectives and the experiences of the labora...

The clinical relevance of reciprocal changes in the ST segment occurring at the time of acute myocardial infarction was studied prospectively in 85 consecutive uncomplicated cases. Reciprocal depression of the ST segment was defined as depression of 1 mm or more in electrocardiogram leads other than those reflecting the infarct. All patients underwent maximal, symptom limited treadmill stress t...

Purpose: Exoskeletons have been developed for rehabilitation of patients with walking impairment due to neurological disorders. Recent studies have shown that the voluntary-driven exoskeleton HAL® (hybrid assistive limb) can improve walking functions in spinal cord injury and stroke. The aim of this study was to assess safety and effects on walking function of HAL® supported treadmill therapy i...

In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, patients having breathing issues more than balance are seen, but in this case fear of fall is seen because reduced physical capacity and social isolation. Due to function exercise tolerance reduced. 10 minutes aerobic exercises (bicycling treadmill walking) training uneven surface if done for 6 weeks. Six-minute walk test berg scale used evaluate. There...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether the walking speed maintained during a 1 km treadmill test at moderate intensity predicts survival in patients with cardiovascular disease. DESIGN Population-based prospective study. SETTING Outpatient secondary prevention programme in Ferrara, Italy. PARTICIPANTS 1255 male stable cardiac patients, aged 25-85 years at baseline. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Walking...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of treadmill training with a horizontal impeding force applied to the center of upper body mass on the gait and balance of post-stroke patients. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty-four subjects with hemiplegia less than 3 months after stroke onset were randomly assigned to 2 groups: an applied horizontal impeding force on treadmill t...

OBJECTIVES This study compared coronary artery calcium (CC) as detected by electron beam computed tomography (EBCT) with conventional stress testing in the evaluation of patients with symptoms suggestive of coronary artery disease (CAD). BACKGROUND Exercise electrocardiogram treadmill stress testing (treadmill-ECG) is limited by its requirement of a normal resting ECG and the ability of the p...

OBJECTIVE This was the first study conducted to determine the influence of home-based treadmill training on seminal quality in adults with type 2 diabetes. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty sedentary adults with type 2 diabetes volunteered for the current study. Thirty were randomly allocated to the intervention group and performed a a 14-week, home-based, treadmill training program, 3 sessions per ...

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurobehavioral disorder, and its symptoms are hyperactivity and deficits in learning and memory. Physical exercise increases dopamine synthesis and neuronal activity in various brain regions. In the present study, we investigate the duration-dependence of the treadmill exercise on hyperactivity in relation with dopamine expression in ...

Background/Objective The heart rate (HR) and metabolic (VO2) responses to treadmill running using the GlideTrak™ body weight support system have not been reported. The purpose of this study was to compare the submaximal and maximal HR and VO2 responses to normal-weight treadmill running (TMR) to treadmill running with body weight support provided by the GlideTrak™ (GTR). Methods Twenty partic...
