in this study, 10 normal volunteers and 5 sports-trained paraplegics with lesions between t6 and l2 were studied whilst walking with axillary crutches and knee-anlde-foot orthoses. all subjects walked at their preferred speed on a figureof- eight track. normal subjects also walked at slower and faster speeds. oxygen consumption, heart rate and rating of perceived exertion were measured. in norm...

OBJECTIVES This study analyzed the kinetics of oxygen consumption during and after a maximal cardiopulmonary exercise test in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. The prognostic information derived from indexes of recovery was also studied. BACKGROUND Previous studies have examined the kinetics of oxygen consumption during a short recovery period in a limited number of patients. To our knowl...

OBJECTIVE To determine factors influencing the individual effects of blood transfusions regarding oxygen delivery and consumption. DESIGN Chart review. SETTING A university hospital cardiosurgical intensive care unit. PATIENTS Sixty-seven patients with 170 transfusion events evaluated. INTERVENTIONS Blood transfusion. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Measurements were performed before an...

Background/Objective Research on the acute health effects of whole-body vibration with resistance exercise (WBV + RE) for clinical populations is limited. This randomized crossover trial evaluated postexercise hypotension and excess postexercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) in response to three conditions: WBV + RE, RE alone, and control (CON) in 11 prehypertensive (systolic/diastolic blood pressu...
