ABSTRACT Given the gap in literature regarding peak of oxygen consumption (VO2peak) for adolescents both sexes, this study aimed to propose an equation predict VO2peak healthy using Modified Shuttle Test (MST). This is a cross-sectional with 84 between 12 and 18 years old, female male. The MST external paced test, which speed increases at each minute. Two were performed least 30 minutes rest th...

RRF-2.3.1-21-2022-00004 (MILAB) has been implemented with the support provided by European Union. Introduction Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET)-derived peak oxygen uptake (VO2/kg) is a well-established parameter capacity allowing quantification athletic performance. Althou...

Abstract Background Systemic oxidative stress is known to be associated with the severity and prognosis in patients cardiovascular diseases (CVD), including chronic heart failure. On other hand, exercise tolerance closely related failure patients. However, no report has examined how involved each parameter evaluated by cardiopulmonary testing (CPET) dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Purpose To exam...

Central and peripheral cardiovascular adaptations to 12 weeks of intense swim training were characterized in 12 previously sedentary middle-aged men and women. Peak oxygen uptake (VO2) during upright bicycle exercise improved from 29.2 +/- 5.6 to 34.7 +/- 6.7 ml/kg/min (mean +/- SD, p less than .01) because of similar increases in peak cardiac output (CO) and calculated arteriovenous oxygen dif...

BACKGROUND Strength training and neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) are effective training modalities for improving muscle function, exercise performance and health status in individuals with COPD. The aim of the present study was to analyze the metabolic load of these training modalities at baseline, half-way, and at the end of an eight-week interdisciplinary pulmonary rehabilitation ...
