Cardiopulmonary exercise testing adds measurement of ventilation and volume of oxygen
uptake and exhaled carbon dioxide to routine physiological and performance parameters …

Cardiovascular diseases are the most common causes of mortality worldwide. They are
frequently the reasons for patient hospitalization, their incapability for work, and disability …

Importance High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is recognized as a potent stimulus for
improving cardiorespiratory fitness (volume of oxygen consumption [VO 2] peak) in patients …

Aerobic exercise may acutely prime the brain to be more responsive to rehabilitation, thus
facilitating neurologic recovery from conditions like stroke. This aerobic priming effect could …

Moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) has long been considered the most effective
exercise treatment modality for the prevention and management of cardiovascular disease …

Much of the burden on healthcare systems is related to the management of chronic
conditions such as cardiovascular disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease …

Background Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is an essential part of contemporary coronary heart
disease management. However, patients exiting a center-based CR program have difficulty …

Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of adding virtual reality
(VR) to maintenance cardiac rehabilitation (CR); it was hypothesized VR would increase …

Background—Complete reporting of all components of complex interventions is essential for
translation of research evidence into clinical practice. Previous work has highlighted …

During exhaustive ramp-incremental cycling tests, the incidence of O2 uptake (V̇o2)
plateaus is low. To verify the attainment of maximum V̇o2 (V̇o2max), it is recommended …
