Effects of combining functional exercises and exercise training in COPD Hasselt University
Background: Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) improves overall functionality for patients with COPD. However, PR's
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 KU Leuven University of Antwerp
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 ...
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 effects of high-intensity exercise training and detraining with and without active recovery on postexercise hypotension in young men KU Leuven
Whether high-intensity exercise training and detraining combined with skeletal muscle pump (MP) could alter the magnitude of postexercise hypotension has not been investigated. We therefore sought to determine whether the combination of MP (unloaded back-pedaling) with 4 weeks of high-intensity exercise training and detraining could alter the magnitude of postexercise hypotension. Fourteen healthy men underwent 4 weeks of high-intensity exercise ...
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.
Combined Exercise Training and Nutritional Interventions or Pharmacological Treatments to Improve Exercise Capacity and Body Composition in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Narrative Review Hasselt University
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic respiratory disease that is associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. The burden of respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation can translate to reduced physical activity, in turn contributing to poor exercise capacity, muscle dysfunction, and body composition abnormalities. These extrapulmonary features of the disease are targeted during pulmonary ...
Altered muscle oxidative phenotype impairs exercise tolerance but does not Improve after exercise training in multiple sclerosis Hasselt University Ghent University
Background Patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) experience reduced exercise tolerance that substantially reduces quality of life. The mechanisms underpinning exercise intolerance in MS are not fully clear. This study aimed to determine the contributions of the cardiopulmonary system and peripheral muscle in MS-induced exercise intolerance before and after exercise training. Methods Twenty-three patients with MS (13 women) and 20 age-matched and ...
Adrenergically and non-adrenergically mediated human adipose tissue lipolysis during acute exercise and exercise training Hasselt University University of Antwerp
Obesity-related adipose tissue (AT) dysfunction, in particular subcutaneous AT (SCAT) lipolysis, is characterized by catecholamine resistance and impaired atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) responsiveness. It remains unknown whether exercise training improves (non-)adrenergically mediated lipolysis in metabolically compromised conditions. We investigated the effects of local combined α-/β-adrenoceptor blockade on abdominal SCAT lipolysis in lean ...
