A recent paper on the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition provides a conceptual historical framework for examining the evolution of energy exchange concepts and measurement methods.
Energy exchange is fundamental to life and is a cornerstone in the study of human physiology, metabolism and nutrition. A global effort is underway to further our understanding of human energy exchange and its...
A new statement by the American Heart Association has been recently published suggesting the addition of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) for risk classification in patient management and to encourage strategies designed to reduce cardiovascular risk.
The purpose of this statement was to review current knowledge related to the association between CRF and health outcomes, increase awareness of...
A paper published in the British Medical Journal introduces purposes and methodology of a new clinical trial on gait inefficiencies on cerebral palsy adolescents that will be using COSMED wearable metabolic technology.

A new study in the European Respiratory Journal focuses on proper interpretation values for the measured VO2max in elderly patients.
This study stresses the importance of the selection of VO2max reference equations, especially for older subjects, and offers clinicians some information to guide their choice. As a matter of fact, predicted VO2max values for older people may vary significantly...
The utility of graded exercise tests, cardiopulmonary exercise tests, submaximal walking tests, and other functional assessments (strength, frailty) for Cardiac Rehabilitation have been reviewed in this article of the Journal of Cardiac Rehabilitation and Prevention.
This review addresses the role and optimal use of exercise testing in contemporary Cardiac Rehabilitation and discusses the...
