Formulation and Shelf-life of Fish Burgers Served to Preschool Children.

Consumer is very careful about healthiness; in this context nutritionists often highlight the importance of fish for human nutrition because of their protein and fatty acid composition. In order to stimulate utilisation and consumption of fish species by unusual target groups such as children, the aim of this research was to formulate and to evaluate shelf-life and nutritional values of fish preparations stored in modified atmosphere packaging (MAP). Fish species used for trail were and fished and farmed in Basilicata region respectively.

Influence of a custom-made maxillary mouthguard on gas exchange parameters during incremental exercise in amateur road cyclists.

Mouthguards are frequently used for protection purposes, particularly by athletes competing in contact sports. However, there is increasing evidence supporting their use for improving performance. Studies have focused their use in athletes who do not traditionally use mouthguards and who may be looking for a performance edge.

Association between VO₂ peak estimated by a 1-km treadmill walk and mortality. A 10-year follow-up study in patients with cardiovascular disease.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to assess the association between peak oxygen uptake (VO2 peak), determined using a perceptually regulated 1-km walking test (1k-TWT), and all-cause mortality in cardiac patients.

Methods: 1255 male patients, aged 25-85 years, completed a moderate 1k-TWT to estimate VO2 peak. Subjects were followed for all-cause mortality for up to 10 years.

Peak oxygen uptake prediction from a moderate, perceptually regulated, 1-km treadmill walk in male cardiac patients.

Purpose: To determine whether a moderate 1-km treadmill walking test (1KTWT) could be used to predict peak oxygen uptake VO(2)peak) in patients with cardiovascular disease.

Methods: One hundred seventy-eight male patients, aged 38 to 83 years, completed a VO(2)peak treadmill test and a 1KTWT using a self-regulated intensity of 11 to 13 of 20 on the Borg scale. Multivariable regression analysis was used to develop equations for predicting VO(2)peak in a development group (n = 110), both for subjects prescribed and not prescribed a β-blocking agent (BB/NBB, 66/44).
