Exercise Training May Enhance Functional Capacity And Improve Heart Rate Impairment In Coronary Artery Disease Patients With Chronotropic Incompetence, Chen-Jung Hsu, Ssu-Yuan Chen, Ching Lan, Der-Sheng Han, Jin-Shin Lai
Rehabilitation Practice and Science
This study investigated whether coronary artery disease patients with chronotropic incompetence (CI) can significantly improve their functional capacity after exercise training. Forty-two men (mean age: 55.3±9.3yr) underwent coronary revascularization and without beta-blockade participated in a threemonth outpatient exercise training program. Patients were separated into a CI group (n=18) and a non-CI group (n=24) based on whether they could reach 85% of the age-predicted peak heart rate (HR). Chronotropic incompetence was defined as failure to achieve 85% of the age-predicted maximal HR. Bicycle exercise workouts were conducted three times weekly. The exercise duration was 30 minutes per session included 5 minutes …

Prevalensi hipertensi di Indonesia meningkat bersamaan dengan meningkatnya usia. Untuk itu, upaya pencegahan hipertensi dan komplikasinya perlu dilakukan sejak dini jauh sebelum usia lanjut. Olahraga khususnya jenis aerobik diketahui dapat mengendalikan tekanan darah. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui hubungan frekuensi dan keteraturan senam terhadap penurunan tekanan darah pada peserta program latihan. Desain studi yang digunakan adalah kohort retrospektif dengan metoda analisis Cox Regression. Penelitian dilakukan terhadap sumber data sekunder 132 anggota KJS Pondalisa yang merupakan salah satu sarana olahraga masyarakat, selama periode satu tahun keanggotaan. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan bahwa tidak ada anggota yang melakukan senam 3xper minggu sesuai program dengan keteraturan …
Evaluation Of The Effect Of Two Exercise Regimes In Producing Forces On Anterior Cruciate Ligaments: A Systematic Review, Carla Van Usen, Barbara Pumberger
Evaluation Of The Effect Of Two Exercise Regimes In Producing Forces On Anterior Cruciate Ligaments: A Systematic Review, Carla Van Usen, Barbara Pumberger
Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice
Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are common. A goal of rehabilitation is to restore functional capacity. Currently, there are contrary opinions regarding the effectiveness of using either closed or open kinetic chain exercises (CKC, OKC) only, or a combination of both, following ACL injury, to obtain the most effective outcome. The debate also reflects the approach which places the least force on the ACL itself. Objective: To identify the evidence of effectiveness of closed versus open kinetic chain exercises, or a combination of both, in anterior cruciate ligament rehabilitation. Methods: A systematic review was undertaken of experimental studies published …

Aim: Regular physical exercise is associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases. In this study, the hypothesis that acute submaximal exercise has similar effects on rheological parameters of smokers and non-smokers was tested. Materials and Methods: Thirty-three male university undergraduates comprised of 18 smokers and 15 non-smokers were studied. All the subjects underwent submaximal exercise on cycloergometer for 30 minutes. Blood for hemorheological parameters was collected 30 minutes before and after exercise. Samples were analyzed by standard methods. Results: A total of 33 undergraduates were studied. The hematocrit, plasma viscosity and plasma fibrinogen were significantly higher in smokers than non-smokers …
