Background: The aims of this study were to compare two new methods (Dmax and CUSUM) for determination of the ventilatory threshold and to examine the consequences of estimation by application of these methods in combination.
Experimental Design: a comparative design was used.
Setting: the study was performed in the Exercise Physiology Laboratory in the Faculty of Medicine, Selçuk University.
Participants: thirty-two untrained males (20.6 +/- 1.2 yrs) performed an incremental exercise test on a cycle ergometer.
Interventions: there is no intervention.
Measures: ventilatory and gas exchange variables were measured breath-by-breath. The ventilatory thresholds were detected by conventional linear regression, CUSUM, Dmax and combined CUSUM-Dmax methods.
Results: The ventilatory thresholds determined by Dmax method gave the highest r-values compared to the criterion method. There was no statistical difference between thresholds determined by all methods or by the same method using different variables. Ventilatory thresholds could not be determined by the conventional linear regression method in three subjects but were determined in all subjects by the other three methods.
Conclusions: Although all methods presented in this study can be used in the determination of ventilatory threshold, the Dmax method was found to be the most valid one. When using the CUSUM method, combining it with the Dmax method increases the validity of the measurement.

Cardiopulmonary exercise testing as a prognosis-assessing tool in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
ESC Heart Fail

Department of Cardiology, Angiology and Intensive Care Medicine, Deutsches Herzzentrum der Charité, Berlin, Germany.
Aims: Patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction represent half of the heart failure patients nowadays, an at least steady trend due to the aging of the population. We investigated whether the parameters obtained from cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) correlated with the prognosis of these patients. This prospective observational cohort study assesses the relationship between the CPET parameters peakVO and VE/VCO slope and the number of heart failure hospitalizations or cardiovascular death of these patients.

Purpose: Cigarette smoking (CS) induces systemic changes that impair cardiorespiratory and muscular function both at rest and during exercise. Although these abnormalities are reported in sedentary, middle-aged smokers (SM) with pulmonary disease, few and controversial studies focused on young, physically active SM at the early stage of smoking history. This study aimed at assessing the impact CS on cardiorespiratory and metabolic response during an incremental test and the subsequent recovery in young, physically active SM without known lung or cardiovascular disease.

Objective: To explore the quantitative analysis results of different patterns of chest computed tomography (CT) in patients with coronavirus infection and its relationship with viral load and pathophysiological status.
Methods: A retrospective clinical cohort study was conducted. Patients with coronavirus infection admitted to Qingdao Municipal Hospital from June 9 to 15, 2023 (all patients underwent chest CT examination within 24 hours after diagnosis) were enrolled.
Determination of Ventilatory Thresholds Using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy in Recreational Endurance and CrossFit Athletes.
Int J Sports Physiol Perform

To define training zones, ventilatory thresholds (VTs) are commonly established by cardiopulmonary gas-exchange analysis during incremental exercise tests. Portable near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) devices have emerged as a potential tool for detecting these thresholds by monitoring muscle oxygenation. This study evaluated the accuracy of NIRS measurements to determine VTs or critical power (CP) based on muscle oxygen saturation and assesses the device's consistency across 2 constant-load tests.

Research goal: To update the information on the distribution of influence of eleven polymorphisms in ten genes, namely ACE (rs1799752), AGT (rs699), MCT1 (rs1049434), HIF1A (rs11549465), COMT (rs4680), CKM (rs8111989), TNC (rs2104772), PTK2 (rs7460 and rs7843014), ACTN3 (rs1815739), and MSTN (rs1805086)-on the connected steps of oxygen transport during aerobic muscle work.
Methods: 251 young, healthy tactical athletes (including 12 females) with a systematic physical training history underwent exercise tests, including standardized endurance running with a 12.
