“…This result indicates that the muscle thickness of a basketball player may be used to assess aerobic performance. Contrary to the current study, Thomaes et al [32] reported a significant positive correlation of VO 2max and muscle strength, and diameter increased significantly after three months of cardiac rehabilitation and training in 260 coronary artery disease patients. Our results might conflict with this study, as our subjects were healthy adolescents.…”

Aims: Athletic performance in basketball comprises the contributions of anaerobic and aerobic performance. The aim was to investigate the effects of passive muscle stiffness, using shear wave elastography (SWE), as well as muscle thickness, and body mass index (BMI), on both aerobic and anaerobic performances in adolescent female basketball players.Material and methods: Anaerobic and aerobic (VO2max) performance was assessed using the vertical jump and shuttle run tests, respectively, in 24 volunteer adolescent female basketball players. Passive muscle stiffness of the rectus femoris (RF), gastrocnemius medialis (GM), gastrocnemius lateralis (GL) and soleus muscles were measured by SWE, and the thickness of each muscle was assessed by gray scale ultrasound. The BMI of each participant was also calculated. The relationship between vertical jump and VO2max values, and those of muscle stiffness, thickness, and BMI were investigated via Pearson’s correlation and multivariate linear regression analysis.Results: No significant correlation was observed between muscle stiffness and VO2max or vertical jump (p>0.05). There was significant negative correlation between GL thickness and VO2max (p=0.026), and soleus thickness and VO2max (p=0.046). There was also a significant negative correlation between BMI and VO2max (p=0.001). Conclusions: This preliminary work can be a reference for future research. Although our article indicates that passive muscle stiffness measured by SWE is not directly related to athletic performance, future comprehensive studies should be performed in order to illuminate the complex nature of muscles. The maintenance of lower muscle thickness and optimal BMI may be associated with better aerobic performance.

“…There are fewer studies that investigated the correlation between aerobic performance and muscle thickness [32,33]. Our study results show a negative relationship between GL and soleus muscle thickness with aerobic performance; subjects with lower GL and soleus muscle thickness had higher performance on the shuttle run test.…”

“…It is already known that a low grip strength is associated with increased susceptibility to cardiovascular death in people who do develop CVD [32]. Mroszcwyk et al [33] and Thomaes et al [34] found increased HG strength in patients following three months of a (predominantly aerobic exercise training) CR program. In our study though, no changes were observed after 12 weeks of intervention.…”

PATHway I: design and rationale for the investigation of the feasibility, clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a technology-enabled cardiac rehabilitation platform

IntroductionExercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) independently alters the clinical course of cardiovascular diseases resulting in a significant reduction in all-cause and cardiac mortality. However, only 15%–30% of all eligible patients participate in a phase 2 ambulatory programme. The uptake rate of community-based programmes following phase 2 CR and adherence to long-term exercise is extremely poor. Newer care models, involving telerehabilitation programmes that are delivered remotely, show considerable promise for increasing adherence. In this view, the PATHway (Physical Activity Towards Health) platform was developed and now needs to be evaluated in terms of its feasibility and clinical efficacy.Methods and analysisIn a multicentre randomised controlled pilot trial, 120 participants (m/f, age 40–80 years) completing a phase 2 ambulatory CR programme will be randomised on a 1:1 basis to PATHway or usual care. PATHway involves a comprehensive, internet-enabled, sensor-based home CR platform and provides individualised heart rate monitored exercise programmes (exerclasses and exergames) as the basis on which to provide a personalised lifestyle intervention programme. The control group will receive usual care. Study outcomes will be assessed at baseline, 3 months and 6 months after completion of phase 2 of the CR programme. The primary outcome is the change in active energy expenditure. Secondary outcomes include cardiopulmonary endurance capacity, muscle strength, body composition, cardiovascular risk factors, peripheral endothelial vascular function, patient satisfaction, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), well-being, mediators of behaviour change and safety. HRQoL and healthcare costs will be taken into account in cost-effectiveness evaluation.Ethics and disseminationThe study will be conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. This protocol has been approved by the director and clinical director of the PATHway study and by the ethical committee of each participating site. Results will be disseminated via peer-reviewed scientific journals and presentations at congresses and events.Trial registration numberNCT02717806. This trial is currently in the pre-results stage.

Muscular strength and diameter as determinants of aerobic power and aerobic power response to exercise training in CAD patients

Abstract: Knee extensor muscular endurance and its response after training are the strongest muscular predictors in explaining peakVO2 and its response in CAD patients.
