BACKGROUND Refugee women have a high risk of coronary heart disease with low physical activity as one possible mediator. Furthermore, cultural and environmental barriers to increasing physical activity have been demonstrated. The aim of the study was to evaluate the combined effect of an approximate 6-month primary health care- and community-based exercise intervention versus an individual writ...

The lack of standardisation reporting exercise interventions hampers the development best practice guidelines for long COVID patients. This case study on effect an intervention in a patient applied Consensus Exercise Reporting Template (CERT) interventions. FITT-VP prescription principles rehabilitation are also suggested. A 58-year-old male, previously hospitalised 14 days ward intensive care ...

BACKGROUND Cycling is an endurance sport relying mainly on aerobic capacity to provide fuel during long-duration cycling events. Athletes are constantly searching for new methods to improve this capacity through various nutritional and ergogenic aids.s PURPOSE The aim of the study was to find out the effect of Ashwagandha on the cardiorespiratory endurance capacity, that is, aerobic capacity ...

Previous studies have shown that High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is effective in improving maximal oxygen uptake, blood pressure, and physical health-related indicators older adults. However, whether HIIT more cardiorespiratory fitness exercise capacity adults compared with Moderate-Intensity Continuous Exercise (MICT) remains controversial. This review META analysis assessed the outcom...

BACKGROUND A better physical fitness may have survival advantages in adults. AIM To analyze the relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and cardiovascular risk factors among obese subjects aged 58 years and older. MATERIAL AND METHODS Cardiorespiratory fitness using the six-minute walk test, body composition by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry and blood pressure were measured in a no...

This prospective study compared intraocular pressure (IOP) control, cardiorespiratory function, and adverse effects in 50 patients with glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Patients on topical combination timolol-latanoprost therapy were recruited. After they had used this combination for at least 2 months, they were switched to bimatoprost monotherapy. Full ocular examination and spirometric test...

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...

objective(s): carbon nanotubes have unique mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties, with potential different applications in nanomedicine, electronics, and other industries. these new applications of carbon nanotubes in different industries lead to the increased exposure risk of nanomaterials to human. up to now, all aspects of carbon nanotubes toxicity are not completely clear following...
