Effects of combining functional exercises and exercise training in COPD Hasselt University
Interactieve trainings- en beslissingsondersteuning voor het optimaliseren van revalidatievoorschriften in patiënten met hart- en vaatziekten: de EXercise Prescription in Everyday practice & Rehabilitative Training (EXPERT) tool Hasselt University
Fysieke revalidatie wordt sterk aanbevolen in de huidige richtlijnen voor (secundaire) preventie van hart- en vaatziekten (CVD). Veel clinici ervaren echter moeilijkheden bij het voorschrijven van revalidatie (trainingsintensiteit, type, sessie- en programmaduur en frequentie) wanneer verschillende CVD’s en risicofactoren binnen dezelfde patiënt voorkomen. Er is dus nood aan een instrument dat clinici assisteert in het voorschrijven van ...
The European Association of Preventive Cardiology Exercise Prescription in Everyday Practice and Rehabilitative Training (EXPERT) tool: A digital training and decision support system for optimized exercise prescription in cardiovascular disease. Concept.. Hasselt University
Background Exercise rehabilitation is highly recommended by current guidelines on prevention of cardiovascular disease, but its implementation is still poor. Many clinicians experience difficulties in prescribing exercise in the presence of different concomitant cardiovascular diseases and risk factors within the same patient. It was aimed to develop a digital training and decision support system for exercise prescription in cardiovascular ...

Nonlinear exercise training in advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is superior to traditional exercise training. A randomized trial KU Leuven
The optimal exercise training intensity and strategy for individualized exercise training in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is not clear.
Effects of endurance training intensity on resting, exercise and post exercise blood pressure, heart rate and heart rate variability KU Leuven
We aimed to investigate the effects of endurance training intensity (1) on systolic blood pressure (SBP) and heart rate (HR) at rest before exercise, and during and after a maximal exercise test; and (2) on measures of HR variability at rest before exercise and during recovery from the exercise test, in at least 55-year-old healthy sedentary men and women. A randomized crossover study comprising three 10-week periods was performed. In the first ...
Protein Supplementation after Exercise and before Sleep Does Not Further Augment Muscle Mass and Strength Gains during Resistance Exercise Training in Active Older Men Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Background: The proposed benefits of protein supplementation on the skeletal muscle adaptive response to resistance exercise training in older adults remain unclear.
Objective: The present study assessed whether protein supplementation after exercise and before sleep augments muscle mass and strength gains during resistance exercise training in older individuals.
Methods: Forty-one older men [mean ± SEM age: 70 ± 1 y; body mass ...
Coordinated regulation of adipose tissue adrenergic- and non-adrenergic-mediated lipolysis during exercise in lean and obese individuals: the effect of exercise training Hasselt University
Background and aims: Adipose tissue dysfunction, which includes impairments in (adipose tissue) lipolysis, contributes to insulin resistance. Subcutaneous adipose tissue (SCAT) lipolysis in obesity is characterized by catecholamine resistance and an impaired ANP responsiveness. It remains to be established whether exercise training improves nonadrenergically-mediated lipolysis, next to the adrenergic pathway, in metabolically compromised ...
