The Acute Effect of Hyperoxia on Onset of Blood Lactate Accumulation (OBLA) and Performance in Female Runners during the Maximal Treadmill Test.

The objective of this study was to analyze the acute effect of hyperoxia during the maximal treadmill test (MTT) of runners. Participants included 10 female street runners who performed the MTT under two different conditions: hyperoxia (HYPX), inhaling oxygen (60% O) every 3 min; and normoxia (NORM), without additional oxygen inhalation. Both groups performed the MTT with increases in the slope of the run every 3 min until voluntary exhaustion.

Use of Virtual Rehabilitation to Improve the Symmetry of Body Temperature, Balance, and Functionality of Patients with Stroke Sequelae.

Background: Stroke rehabilitation that is based on the patients' needs, experiences, and priorities requires extensive knowledge and skills to capture and integrate the perspectives of the subject.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to evaluate the acute effect of an occupational therapy protocol associated with virtual reality (VR) on the symmetry of body temperature (BTP), balance, and functionality of patients with stroke sequelae.

Methods: Ten patients (69.
