V̇Opeak estimation in people with overweight and obesity before and after a 14-week lifestyle intervention.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the validity and applicability of a non-exercise estimation of cardiorespiratory fitness using resting seismocardiography (SCG eV̇Opeak) in people with overweight and obesity before and after a 14-week lifestyle intervention.

Methods: The study was carried out at a Folk high school that offers 14-week courses on lifestyle changes where participants live at the school and voluntarily participate in daily lectures and activities. Sixty-seven men and women with age and body mass index between 18 and 70 years and 25-50 kg·m were tested at baseline, and 52 had a follow-up test after 14 weeks.

Children and adolescents with psychiatric or neurologic disorders often suffer from sleep problems. Disrupted sleep might lead to different comorbidities in the child/adolescent. These symptoms often mimic other psychiatric symptoms, which makes the diagnostic process challenging.

Maximal Fat Oxidation Rate Is Higher in Fit Women and Unfit Women With Obesity, Compared to Normal-weight Unfit Women.

Context: The maximal fat oxidation rate (MFO) is higher in aerobically fit vs unfit young men, but this training-related increase in MFO is attenuated in middle-aged men. Further, it has also been found that unfit men with obesity may have an elevated MFO compared to unfit normal-weight men.

Objective: Based hereupon, we aimed to investigate whether a fitness-related higher MFO were attenuated in middle-aged women compared to young women.
