Objectives: To determine the content validity of cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) for assessing peak oxygen uptake (VO) in neuromuscular diseases (NMD).
Design: Baseline assessment of a randomized controlled trial.
Setting: Academic hospital.
Background: Home-based aerobic exercise in people with neuromuscular diseases (NMDs) has benefits compared to exercise in the hospital or a rehabilitation center because traveling is often cumbersome due to mobility limitations, and societal costs are lower. Barriers to home-based aerobic exercise include reduced possibilities for monitoring and lack of motivation. To overcome these and other barriers, we developed a mobile health app: Keep on training with ReVi (hereafter referred to as ReVi).

- The study aimed to explore the relationship between heart rate and perceived exertion during maximal exercise tests and home-based aerobic training for individuals with neuromuscular diseases.
- Participants included those with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, post-polio syndrome, or other neuromuscular conditions, who engaged in a 4-month aerobic training program monitored through heart rates and perceived exertion ratings.
- Results showed a strong correlation between heart rate and perceived effort during testing, but notable differences in effort perception during training, suggesting potential issues with under- or over-training that healthcare professionals should consider.
Objective: To systematically evaluate the measurement properties of aerobic capacity measures in neuromuscular diseases.
Data Sources: MEDLINE, EMBASE, SportDiscus and Web of Science Conference Proceedings Citation Index - Science were systematically searched from inception until 30 June 2021.
Study Selection And Data Extraction: Screening, data extraction, risk of bias assessment and quality assessment were performed by 2 independent researchers.
At-home foot temperature monitoring may be useful in the early recognition of imminent foot ulcers that occur through biomechanical loading in people with diabetes. We assessed the concurrent validity, test-retest reliability, and usability of a new plantar foot temperature monitoring device in 50 people with diabetes and peripheral neuropathy. We compared plantar foot temperature measurements with a platform system that consists of embedded temperature sensors with those from a handheld infrared thermometer that was used as a reference.

Int J Sports Physiol Perform
October 2021
Background: During self-paced (SP) time trials (TTs), cyclists show unconscious nonrandom variations in power output of up to 10% above and below average. It is unknown what the effects of variations in power output of this magnitude are on physiological, neuromuscular, and perceptual variables.
Purpose: To describe physiological, neuromuscular, and perceptual responses of 10-km TTs with an imposed even-paced (EP) and variable-paced (VP) workload.
The Role of the Rating-of-Perceived-Exertion Template in Pacing.
Int J Sports Physiol Perform
March 2018
Unlabelled: The rating-of-perceived-exertion (RPE) template is thought to regulate pacing and has been shown to be very robust in different circumstances.
Purpose: The primary purpose was to investigate whether the RPE template can be manipulated by changing the race distance during the course of a time trial. The secondary purpose was to study how athletes cope with this manipulation, especially in terms of the RPE template.
