(1) Background: Cardiopulmonary and brain functions are frequently impaired after COVID-19 infection. Exercise rehabilitation could have a major impact on the healing process of patients affected by long COVID-19. (2) Methods: The COVID-Rehab study will investigate effectiveness an eight-week cardiopulmonary program cardiorespiratory fitness (V˙O2max) in long-COVID-19 individuals. Secondary objectives include functional capacity, quality life, perceived stress, sleep (questionnaires),...
Because of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic, many cardiac rehabilitation (CR) services and programs are stopped. CR is a class I level A recommendation with clinical benefits that now well documented, cessation can lead to dramatic consequences in terms public health. We propose here viewpoint significant interest about sudden need develop remote home-based both research care routine. This last decade, literature on has been increasing, but date only experiences have...
The aim of this study was to the impact a combined long-term lifestyle and high-intensity interval training intervention on body composition, cardiometabolic risk, exercise tolerance in overweight obese subjects.Sixty-two subjects (53.3 ± 9.7 yrs; mean mass index, 35.8 5 kg/m(2)) were retrospectively identified at their entry into 9-mo program consisting individualized nutritional counselling, optimized exercise, resistance two three times week. Anthropometric measurements, risk factors,...
although the acute physiological responses to continuous exercise have been well documented in CHD patients, no previous study has examined high-intensity intermittent these patients. The purpose of this was compare a interval (HIIE) protocol versus moderate-intensity (MICE) similar energy expenditure patients.twenty patients with stable (19 males and 1 female, 62 ± 11 yr) were assigned random order single session HIIE corresponding 15-s intervals at 100% peak power output (PPO) passive...
To assess the effect of a 4-month high-intensity interval training programme on cognitive functioning, cerebral oxygenation, central haemodynamic and cardiometabolic parameters aerobic capacity in obese patients.Cognitive haemodynamic, exercise para-meters were measured before after 6 patients (mean age 49 years (standard deviation 8), fat mass percentage 31 ± 7%).Body composition (body mass, total trunk waist circumference) fasting insulin improved (p < 0.05). V. O2 power output at...
Angiopoietin like-2 (angptl2), a proinflammatory protein, is overexpressed in endothelial cells (ECs) from patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Whether angptl2 contributes to atherogenesis unknown. We tested the hypothesis that promotes inflammation and leukocyte adhesion onto ECs, thereby accelerating preatherosclerotic dyslipidemic mice.In ECs freshly isolated aorta, basal expression of TNF-α IL-6 mRNA was higher 3-month-old severely mice (LDLr(-/-); hApoB100(+/+) [ATX]) than...
J Clin Hypertens (Greenwich) . 2012;00:00–00 ©2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. The effects of sauna alone vs exercise and on ambulatory blood pressure monitoring central hemodynamic variables were measured in 16 patients with untreated hypertension assigned to a control period, sauna, or sauna. Exercise had positive 24‐hour systolic mean hypertension. reduce total vascular resistance, lasting up 120 minutes after heat exposure.
Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a noninvasive technique evaluating microvascular function. The aim of this study was to assess the reproducibility NIRS parameters during reactive hyperemia induced by 5 min brachial artery occlusion. Twenty-four healthy young males (mean 34±8 years old) had two function evaluations over 7 30-day period 16±10 days). Intra-subject and inter-observer were evaluated with intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), variation (CV), standard error measurement...
Chronic exercise has been shown to prevent or slow age-related decline in cognitive functions otherwise healthy, asymptomatic individuals. We sought assess function a stable coronary heart disease (CHD) sample and its relationship cerebral oxygenation-perfusion, cardiac hemodynamic responses, [Formula: see text] peak compared age-matched young healthy control subjects. Twenty-two controls (YHC), 20 old (OHC) 25 patients with CHD were recruited. Cognitive assessment included short...
Abstract Background Aerobic exercise training is associated with beneficial ventricular remodeling and an improvement in cardiac biomarkers chronic stable heart failure. High‐intensity interval (HIIT) a time‐efficient method to improve coronary disease patients. This pilot study aimed compare the effect of HIIT on patients recent acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods Nineteen post‐AMI were randomized either (n = 9) or usual care 10). A cardiopulmonary test (CPET), transthoracic...
The aim of this study was to compare the acute hemodynamic responses during high-intensity intermittent exercise (HIIE) session compared with moderate-intensity continuous (MICE) in patients heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFREF). Thirteen HFREF (age, 59 ± 6 years; left ventricular fraction, 27% 6%; New York Heart Association class I III) were randomly assigned a single HIIE (2 × 8 min) corresponding 30 s at 100% peak power output (PPO) passive recovery intervals or MICE (22 60%...
