A study on the European Surgery Journal compares the preoperative predictive value of spirometry and CPET in patients scheduled to undergo elective colorectal surgery. The aim of the study is to determine the predictive value of spirometry and cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) preoperatively in patients scheduled to undergo elective colorectal surgery. The study compared the preoperative...
A new study covering both laboratory and field test assessments, published International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance, investigates on the maximal aerobic power of elite Stand-up paddle boarding (SUP) athletes. 10 internationally and nationally ranked elite SUP athletes were assessed in a laboratory and compared with other water-based athletes (surfing, dragon-boat racing, and...
A systematic review of studies of cardiopulmonary exercise testing in stroke survivors has been published on the Journal of Rehabilitation Medicine. The aim of the present study was to systematically review the use of CPET in people who have survived a stroke, whether used for diagnostic purposes or to assess functional capacity. The following questions were addressed: What testing...
A new European Respiratory Society (ERS) Statement has been published in ERJ reviewing the role exercise tests have in patients with chronic respiratory diseases. The review covered studies that report the evaluation or use of the incremental (or ramp) exercise test (IET), the constant work-rate exercise test (CWRET), the 6-min walk test (6MWT), the incremental shuttle walk test (ISWT) and the...
Clinical recommendations on the importance of Cardio Pulmonary Exercise Testing in Pulmonary Hypertension patients were published on the Expert Review of Respiratory Medicine. There is an increasing recognition of the potential value of cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX) in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH). Several CPX variables have been shown to be consistently altered in...
