Article Synopsis
- Inhalation injury is a serious respiratory condition caused by smoke, toxic gases, or steam, and timely intervention is crucial to reduce complications for burn patients.
- This study involved a randomized trial with 60 burn patients divided into two groups: one received Pilates training alongside standard physical therapy, while the other received only the standard therapy.
- Results showed significant improvements in various lung function and respiratory muscle strength measures (FVC, FEV1, PEFR, etc.) for the Pilates group compared to the control group after 12 weeks of treatment.
Protein catabolism is a common complication after burn injury, leading to a loss of muscle mass and a decrease in muscle strength. The present study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of combining exercise training with protein supplementation on lean body mass and muscle strength in patients with severe burn. Sixty participants with severe burn >30% of TBSA were randomly distributed into four equal groups of 15 participants per group.

High frequency chest wall oscillation is a common modality used for clearing mucus secretion in patients suffering from hypersecretion of thick mucus and used also to help cough clearance. This study aimed to detect the effect of high frequency chest wall oscillation in improving pulmonary function in burn patients suffering from smoke inhalation.

This study was aimed to find out the effect of isometric versus aerobic training on vascular adaptation in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Materials And Methods: The study was carried out on 40 type 2 diabetic patients (20 men and 20 women).
Article Synopsis
- - The Bruce protocol is a standard fitness test that has some limitations, like short duration and intense exertion, prompting researchers to develop a new treadmill protocol aimed at improving safety, comfort, and peak oxygen consumption (VO2max) during exercise.
- - The study involved twenty-two elite Saudi athletes from triathlon and soccer, who underwent a modified treadmill test to evaluate their body composition and key cardiovascular metrics like VO2max and maximum heart rate (HR max) using specialized equipment.
- - The findings suggest that achieving high VO2max levels can be challenging without also reaching high HR max values, which may pose cardiovascular risks; thus, the new protocol offers a safer and more comfortable option for both testing and training.

Background And Objective: The aerobic power, expressed relative to body mass, of different Saudi elite players is one of the most important area of interest and with great values because of its restrictively that reported in the previously literatures, the present study was conducted to investigate the aerobic characteristics of Saudi elite, Saudi triathlon and soccer players and to compare between measures of aerobic power between both players using graded treadmill protocol to assess maximal cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2max), within a groups of high trained youth Saudi elite players.
Materials And Methods: Twenty two professional Saudi athletes, 11 Saudi triathlon athletes, 11 Saudi soccer players were selected. Their Mean±SD for age, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), body fat mass (%), body fat free mass percentage, cardiovascular parameter, including, absolute and relative peak oxygen consumption "VO2max" and maximal heart rate "HR max".
