Article Synopsis
- Scientists studied exercise tests to see how fit people's hearts and lungs were.
- They divided 1,399 people into 5 groups based on how their bodies responded during these tests.
- Some groups had much better heart health than others, and understanding these patterns can help doctors figure out who might be at risk for heart problems.
Purpose: There is a need for valid and reliable clinical assessment tools to assess cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) levels in adolescents with autism. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the concurrent validity and test-retest reliability of the Astrand-Rhyming Test (ART) in this population.
Materials And Methods: 45 adolescents with autism aged 12-18 years ( = 32 males, 14.
Background And Aims: The goal of the present study was to systematically evaluate the effect of a booster vaccination with the BNT162b2 messenger RNA (mRNA; Pfizer-BioNTech®) vaccine on maximum oxygen uptake (VO ), potential signs of (peri)myocarditis, and sports participation.
Methods: Recreational athletes who were scheduled to undergo booster vaccination were evaluated with transthoracic echocardiography, serum measurements of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hsCRP) and high-sensitivity troponin I, and a bicycle cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) with serum lactate evaluation before the booster vaccine administration. Seven days postvaccination the test battery was repeated.
