Article Abstract
Background: To compare different physiological responses between treadmill and cycle ergometer in stroke patients in regard to community ambulation, and to determine strong predictors of equipment-dependent VO and its related factors among physical fitness parameters and finally to establish the significance of cycle ergometer as a measure of VO in the disabled according to gait function.
Methods: Sixty-three stroke survivors were enrolled in this study and were grouped according to the gait speed (32 non-community ambulators <0.8 m/s:31 community ambulators ≥0.8 m/s). All participants performed exercise stress test (EST) with treadmill and cycle ergometer and rehabilitation function tests.
Results: Community ambulators achieved higher VO by treadmill, but non-community ambulators showed similar VO between treadmill and cycle ergometer due to gait problems. The gait speed and endurance were strong predictors of difference of peak aerobic capacity between treadmill and cycle ergometer (multiple regression analysis, adjusted R=0.458).
Conclusion: Cycle ergometer might be more appropriate for non-community ambulatory stroke patients to assess the peak aerobic capacity. Gait speed and gait distance could affect equipment-dependent cardiopulmonary performance significantly in the disabled. Therefore, the careful consideration of comprehensive and objective physical function including gait endurance, and speed and prescription of appropriate exercise intensity and equipment depending on the severity should be needed to improve the cardiopulmonary fitness and physical function adequately in stroke rehabilitation.

This study evaluated the influence of cycle computers on the accuracy of power and cadence data. The research was divided into three phases: (1) a graded exercise test (GXT) at different constant loads to record power and cadence data; (2) a self-paced effort lasting 1 min to measure mean maximal power output (MMP); and (3) a short all-out effort. Eight cyclists completed the GXT, ten participated in the 1-min test, and thirty participated in the sprint effort.

Normal weight obesity (NWO) is a body composition phenotype that is associated with increased cardiometabolic risk and is characterized by a normal weight body mass index but elevated body fat. The purpose of this study was to determine sex differences in aerobic capacity across body composition phenotypes, including normal weight lean (NWL), NWO, and traditional obesity (OB). We recruited 60 participants according to three body composition phenotypes: NWL (n = 10 females, n = 10 males), NWO (n = 10 females, n = 10 males), and OB (n = 10 females, n = 10 males).

Background: Understanding psychological responses to acute exercise, defined as a single bout of physical exercise, in clinical populations is essential for developing tailored interventions that account for the psychological benefits and challenges of exercise. Given its effectiveness in reducing symptoms in various psychological disorders, exercise should be further explored in Exhaustion Disorder ICD-10-SE: F43.8A (ED), characterized by persistent exhaustion following long-term psychosocial stress.

Background: This study evaluated the effects of resistance training (RT) and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in hypertensive older adults undergoing pharmacological therapy over four and eight weeks. We compared the efficacy of RT and HIIT in reducing non-responders (NRs) between weeks 4 and 8 and analyzed time-course adaptations in NRs and responders (Rs).
Methods: Thirty-nine participants were randomized into RT-G ( = 13), HIIT-G ( = 13), or control (CG, = 13) groups.

This study aims to assess the reliability and accuracy of a novel portable cardiopulmonary function meter, "Booster," developed by our research group, across various exercise intensities and modalities. The study was segmented into reliability and validity assessments. Twenty-two male participants underwent reliability testing, conducting two sequential tests on a treadmill while wearing the Booster to measure VO and VE among other parameters at increasing intensities.
