Purpose: To determine the relationship between the Talk Test (TT) and ventilatory threshold (VT) in patients with cardiac disease and to compare the TT with exercise intensity guidelines.
Methods: Twenty cardiac patients, aged 65 ± 8.5 yr, performed 2 exercise tests with identical ramp protocols on a cycle ergometer on the same day. One test was a submaximal effort to assess exercise intensity using the TT. The other was a cardiopulmonary exercise test using breath-by-breath gas analysis to identify VT and cardiorespiratory fitness.
Results: Oxygen uptake and workload at the last positive stage (TTpos) was significantly lower than at VT. and workload at the equivocal stage (TTeq) and the first negative stage (TTneg) were not significantly different from VT, but limits of agreement (LoA) were wide. There was no significant difference in heart rate (HR) at TTpos and TTeq compared with VT, but HR at Tneg was significantly higher. The correlations between the TT and VT ranged from 0.37 to 0.60. Intensity at the different TT stages ranged from 58-77% of . All TT stages were within intensity guidelines of 40-80% of .
Conclusion: Although no significant differences were found in and workload for TTeq and TTneg when compared with VT, LoA demonstrated wide ranges, suggesting poor individual correspondence. The different stages of the TT can be used as a practical method to guide exercise intensity in patients with cardiac disease.

An mHealth Intervention With Financial Incentives to Promote Smoking Cessation and Physical Activity Among Black Adults: Protocol for a Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial.
JMIR Res Protoc

University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, Oklahoma City, OK, United States.
Background: Black adults in the United States experience disproportionately high rates of tobacco- and obesity-related diseases, driven in part by disparities in smoking cessation and physical activity. Smartphone-based interventions with financial incentives offer a scalable solution to address these health disparities.
Objective: This study aims to assess the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a mobile health intervention that provides financial incentives for smoking cessation and physical activity among Black adults.

Background: Endurance athletes tend to accumulate large training volumes, the majority of which are performed at a low intensity and a smaller portion at moderate and high intensity. However, different training intensity distributions (TID) are employed to maximize physiological and performance adaptations.
Objective: The objective of this study was to conduct a systematic review and network meta-analysis of individual participant data to compare the effect of different TID models on maximal oxygen uptake (VO) and time-trial (TT) performance in endurance-trained athletes.
(Re)assessment of the COSMED Quark CPET and VO2Master Pro Systems for Measuring Pulmonary Gas Exchange and Ventilation.

We assessed the validity, reliability, and transferability of gas exchange and ventilatory variables from two commonly used metabolic measurement systems (COSMED Quark and VO2Master Pro). Two identical devices from each system were independently connected to a metabolic simulator (VacuMed), and 2 min of steady-state data was recorded at simulated oxygen uptake (V̇O) of 1, 2, 3, and 4 L∙min achieved through minute ventilation (V̇) of 30, 60, 105, and 150 L∙min. Each metabolic analyzer recorded data three times for each "intensity" in a randomized order, and assessments were completed on two separate days.

Introduction: Aerobic exercise has been confirmed to alleviate primary dysmenorrhea (PD) in adolescents and young women. However, the effect of the aerobic exercise type and dosage on PD alleviation was unclear. This research aims to assess the effect of aerobic exercise on PD and investigate the dose-response relationships.

Background And Purpose: Patient education on physical activity (PA) requires a clear understanding of PA intensity. However, there is no organized list of PAs intensities specific to individuals with stroke. This review aimed to clarify the intensity of PAs in people with stroke and summarize the methodologies and participant characteristics in previous investigations of energy expenditure (EE) during PAs.
