OBJECTIVE Although the factors predictive of survival in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have been widely studied, full consensus has yet to be reached. The objective of this study was to further clarify how lung function parameters, exercise tolerance, and quality of life influence survival in patients with COPD. PATIENTS AND METHODS This prospective study included...

Objectives: People with or without Cystic Fibrosis-Related Diabetes (CFRD) have increased prevalence of hypoglycaemia, related to insulin therapy and reactive hypoglycaemia. type 1 2 diabetes mellitus are at risk hypoglycaemia within 48hr after exercise, however this has not been objectively measured in people CF. We aimed investigate the using flash glucose monitoring, moderate intensity aerob...

BACKGROUND The glycemic and insulinemic responses following 30-60 min of exercise have been extensively studied, and a dose-response has been proposed between exercise duration, or volume, and improvements in glucose tolerance or insulin sensitivity. However, few studies have examined the effects of longer bouts of exercise in type 2 diabetes (T2D). Longer bouts may have a greater potential to ...

Can you diagnose this patient and identify the uncommon cause of his illness? http://ow.ly/t4nX30bzJFz.

OBJECTIVE Daily physical activity remains an effective strategy to prevent obesity and type 2 diabetes. However, the metabolic response to exercise training is variable, and the precise clinical and molecular determinants that mark the metabolic improvements remain unknown. We tested the hypothesis that clinical improvements in glucose control after low-intensity exercise in individuals with im...

The rat model of treadmill running is an invaluable tool for the investigation of experimentally and pathologically induced alterations in exercise performance. Interpretation of such data often presumes knowledge of the within-rat reproducibility of performance measures; however, the literature is bereft of this information. We tested the hypothesis that within-rat exercise endurance capacity ...

Objectives: To examine the relationship between passion (i.e., love for an activity that is valued for which and a great deal of time is invested) for exercise and exercise dependence symptoms. Design: A cross-sectional correlational survey design was utilised. Method: A total of 480 participants (n 1⁄4 275 females, n 1⁄4 205 males; Mage 1⁄4 18.58, SD 1⁄4 1.66) completed the Leisure Time Exerci...

BACKGROUND Analgesic effect of exercise is a well established fact; however available reports are contradictory on gender differences in pain perception following exercise stress test. OBJECTIVE The current study is prospectively designed to evaluate and compare the effect of acute bout of sub-maximal exercise stress on cold pressor pain in normal adult males and females. METHOD The experim...

Dyspnea, exercise intolerance, and activity restriction are already apparent in mild chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, patients may not seek medical help until their symptoms become troublesome and persistent and significant respiratory impairment is already present; as a consequence, further sustained physical inactivity may contribute to disease progression. Ventilatory a...

The present study was undertaken to investigate the relationship between the extent of impaired chronotropic response and cardiac output during exercise, and exercise tolerance in patients with chronic heart failure. The subjects consisted of 24 patients (mean 60.1 +/- 14.0 years) who had mild chronotropic incompetence. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing was performed in all patients, and heart r...
