Exercise Testing in Sports Medicine.
CONCLUSION: Ergometric stress tests provide important data in clinical and preventive medicine. The findings are often difficult to interpret because of the wide range of normal findings, the use of different stress-inducing protocols, and the lack of gen- erally accepted reference values. The establishment of a nationwide fitness and health registry for ergometric data would be very helpful for the individualized inter- pretation of test findings and for the monitoring of exercise training and therapy.

Quality of life and physical activity in patients with chronic heart failure.
CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate that chronic heart failure patients differ in their daily physical activity, especially in high-impact activities, due to age, gender, and disease progression (Rector, 2005). Further investigation should be directed towards the impact of the different components of the rehabilitation process upon quality of live improvement in patients with chronic heart failure.

The effect of Tai Chi on four chronic conditions-cancer, osteoarthritis, heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a systematic review and meta-analyses.
CONCLUSIONS: The results demonstrated a favourable effect or tendency of Tai Chi to improve physical performance and showed that this type of exercise could be performed by individuals with different chronic conditions, including COPD, HF and OA.

Comparative effectiveness of exercise and drug interventions on mortality outcomes: metaepidemiological study.
CONCLUSIONS: Although limited in quantity, existing randomised trial evidence on exercise interventions suggests that exercise and many drug interventions are often potentially similar in terms of their mortality benefits in the secondary prevention of coronary heart disease, rehabilitation after stroke, treatment of heart failure, and prevention of diabetes.

Basic science behind the cardiovascular benefits of exercise.
Abstract
Cardiorespiratory fitness is a strong predictor of cardiovascular (CV) disease and all-cause mortality, with increases in cardiorespiratory fitness associated with corresponding decreases in CV disease risk. The effects of exercise upon the myocardium and vascular system are dependent upon the frequency, intensity and duration of the exercise itself. Following a prolonged period (≥6 months) of regular intensive exercise in previously untrained individuals, resting and submaximal exercising heart rates are typically 5-20 beats lower, with an increase in stroke volume of ∼20% and enhanced myocardial c...

Effects of Physical Activity, Exercise, and Fitness on Obesity-Related Morbidity and Mortality.
Abstract
Obesity is associated with increased prevalence of cardiovascular (CV) disease (CVD) risk factors, which may adversely impact CV structure and function and may increase the prevalence of most CVD, particularly heart failure (HF) and coronary heart disease (CHD). Physical activity (PA), exercise training (ET) and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) are all associated with marked reductions in most CVD, including HF and CHD. Additionally, PA/ET and, especially CRF, markedly alter the relationship between adiposity and subsequent major CVD outcomes and dramatically impact the "obesity paradox," which are all rev...

Group-based cardiac rehabilitation interventions. A challenge for physical and rehabilitation medicine physicians: a randomized controlled trial.
CONCLUSIONS: The m-Ullevaal protocol seems to be more beneficial and more effective compared to MICT. PRM physicians can efficiently apply the m-Ullevaal protocol in CHF patients rehabilitation.
CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: Group-based HIAIT interventions can be widely applied by PRM physicians in CHF patients rehabilitation.

Exercise medicine education should be expanded
Second to tobacco control, a case can be made that physical activity and/or structured exercise is the best medicine for many of most prevalent non-communicable diseases in the developed world.1 This is especially true for metabolic and cardiovascular disease (CVD), in a preventive and therapeutic context. Although still limited in quantity, currently available evidence based on randomised trials indicates that exercise and many drug interventions are often potentially similar in terms of their mortality benefits in the secondary prevention of CVD, rehabilitation after stroke, treatment of heart failure and prevention of d...

Exercise after Heart Transplantation: Typical Alterations,
Diagnostics and Interventions
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/a-1194-4995For the treatment of terminal heart failure, heart transplantation is considered
to be the gold standard, leading to significantly improved quality of life and
long-time survival. For heart transplant recipients, the development and
maintenance of good functional performance and adequate exercise capacity is
crucial for renewed participation and integration in self-determined live. In
this respect, typical transplant-related alterations must be noted that play a
significant role, leading to restrictions both centrally and peripherally.
Before patie...

Heart Rate and V˙O2 Concordance in Continuous-Flow Left Ventricular Assist Devices
This article aimed to describe the relation between V˙O2 and surrogate markers of exercise intensity among patients with LVAD.
Methods: Patients with continuous-flow LVAD (n = 24, seven females) completed a symptom-limited graded exercise test on a treadmill. HR and V˙O2 were measured continuously and averaged every 20 s. Regression equations were determined using a generalized estimating equation to predict %V˙O2R from %HRR, Borg RPE, and LVAD flow, overall and stratified by presence of pacing.
Results: Although the association between %HRR and %V˙O2R was good (R2 = 0.75), the slope and y-intercept for %HRR versus %...

Exercise and Endurance Sports Increase Arrhythmia and Heart Failure Risk in Carriers Of ARVD/C Mutation - 7/17/13
A Johns Hopkins study finds that healthy people who carry a genetic mutation for arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C) are at much higher risk of developing the symptoms of the life-threatening heart disease if they participate in endurance sports and frequent exercise.

Post-Exercise Neurovascular Control in Chronic Heart Failure Patients
Int J Sports Med DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-114701It remains unknown whether or not a reduction in muscle sympathetic nerve activity in heart failure patients is associated over time with the effects of long- or short-term repeated exercise. 10 chronic heart failure patients, age 49±3 years old, functional class I–III NYHA, ejection fraction <40% were randomly submitted to either an acute bout of moderate continuous exercise OR high-intensity interval exercise. Muscle sympathetic nerve activity (microneurography) and forearm blood flow (venous occlusion plethysmography) were evaluated pre- and post-exercise sessions. The mo...
