Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to find the cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) levels necessary for older adults (70-77 years) to reduce their risk of death, hypothesizing that higher peak oxygen uptake (VO) would be protective.
- The research included a cohort of 1,565 older adults in Norway, who underwent VO testing and were monitored for all-cause mortality over five years.
- Results indicated that lower VO levels (less than 26.5 mL/kg/min for men and 22.2 mL/kg/min for women) significantly increased the risk of death, emphasizing the need for maintaining or improving CRF in later life.
This study examined the effects of different types of masks (no mask, surgical mask (SM), and N95-mask) on physiological and perceptual responses during 30-min of self-paced cycle ergometer exercise. This study was a prospective randomly assigned experimental design. Outcomes included workload (Watts), oxygen saturation (SpO), end-tidal carbon dioxide (PetCO), heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), rating of perceived exertion (RPE), and rating of perceived dyspnea (RPD).

Although there are recognized guidelines for the amount of exercise to be accomplished (≥70,000 steps per week or ≥150 min per week at moderate intensity), there is virtually no documentation of how much exercise is actually accomplished in contemporary exercise programs. Having guidelines without evidence of whether they are being met is of limited value.
