A short endurance training program increases the physical fitness of heart transplant recipients

Comparison of Two Stair Climbing Protocols for Smokers

“…Bi-level walking and cycling exercises have been reported to have achieved greater V E and VO 2 for healthy subjects [11,21,22], people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) [11,23], and in pulmonary and cardiac transplant patients than has fixed intensity exercise [19,[24][25][26][27]. Our comparisons of BiSC with FiSC over 8 flights were consistent with this.…”

Impact of short-term aerobic interval training on maximal exercise in sedentary aged subjects

“…Generally, studies proposed a continuous submaximal exercise session: some physical programmes consisted of a modulation of different activities (walking, rowing, cycling) with an intensity increase during the training period (ranged from 50 to 85% of heart rate reserve) (4,13), whereas others planned a repetitive but sole activity at the same intensity during the training duration (14). Previously, interval training (IWET) has been performed with efficiency in heart transplant recipients (15–18) and aged subjects (19). Allowing the achievement of greater amounts of total work with reduced metabolic demand than constant exercise (20), endurance interval training is generally more effective in improving VO 2peak than performing the same total work at constant exercise intensity in moderately trained male subjects (21).…”

COPD and Dyspnea: Management of a Severely Affected Elderly Patient (Effect of Comprehensive Directed Breathing during Bi-level Exercises)

“…[8][9][10][11]. The SWEET is also be applied in transplanted cardiac patients [14,15] or neumology [16].…”

“…In addition, there was hypoxia during the 6 -MWT and TSST before pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) but these could be performed without O 2 after training, with normal SpO 2 . Moreover, similar training exercises were used for training subjects waiting before and after heart transplant [14][15][16].…”
