Article Synopsis
- * KTRs underwent assessments for body composition, health markers, and quality of life at multiple points, with adherence to exercise monitored through video calls and wearables.
- * Although body composition and kidney function didn't change, KTRs showed improved lipid profiles, blood pressure, fitness, and quality of life, with both monitoring methods effectively maintaining exercise adherence.
Background And Aims: Transient increases (overshoot) in respiratory gas analyses have been observed during exercise recovery, but their clinical significance is not clearly understood. An overshoot phenomenon of the respiratory exchange ratio (RER) is commonly observed during recovery from maximal cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), but it has been found reduced in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). The aim of the study was to analyze the clinical significance of these RER recovery parameters and to understand if these may improve the risk stratification of patients with HFrEF.

Aim: The present study aimed to investigate the presence of this phenomenon in young patients with congenital heart disease (CHD), who generally present reduced cardiorespiratory fitness.
Methods: In this retrospective study, patients with CHD underwent a maximal cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) assessing the RER recovery parameters: the RER at peak exercise, the maximum RER value reached during recovery, the magnitude of the RER overshoot and the linear slope of the RER increase after the end of the exercise.
Introduction: Irisin is a myokine considered to be a potential mediator of exercise-induced energy metabolism and its secretion is known to promote the browning of beige fat cells in white adipose tissue. However, it is currently not known which exercise protocol is the best to enhance irisin concentration in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
Objective: The purpose of this study is to provide a review investigating the irisin response to different exercise training modalities and intensities in T2D.
