Health-related fitness benefits following concurrent high-intensity interval training and resistance training in patients with type-1 diabetes or type-2 diabetes Open
Introduction Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), as assessed by VO 2 peak, along with metabolic and cardiovascular health indices, represents the strongest predictors of survival. However, it remains unclear whether concurrent high-intensity …

Acute Effects of Cocoa Flavanols on Blood Pressure and Peripheral Vascular Reactivity in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Essential Hypertension Open
Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with a high risk of vascular complications. Interestingly, cocoa flavanols (CF) can exert beneficial vascular effects in non-diabetic subjects. However, these effects have only been…

Acute Effects of Cocoa Flavanols on Blood Pressure and Peripheral Vascular Reactivity in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Essential Hypertension: A Protocol for an Acute, Randomized, Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Cross-Over Trial Open
Introduction: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus are at high risk to develop vascular complications resulting in high morbidity and mortality. Cocoa flavanols are promising nutraceuticals with possible beneficial vascular effects in hu…

Markers of protein-energy wasting and physical performance in haemodialysis patients: A cross-sectional study Open
Protein-energy wasting is a determinant of the risk of falls and exercise capacity in patients on HD. The association between malnutrition and muscle weakness remains inconclusive.

Does Muscle Strength Change Over Time in Patients With Hypermobile Ehlers‐Danlos Syndrome/Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder? An Eight‐Year Follow‐Up Study Open
Objective Reduced maximal muscle strength and strength endurance have been found in patients with hypermobile Ehlers‐Danlos syndrome/hypermobility spectrum disorder (hEDS/HSD) and are recognized as common associated features of the disorde…

The relationship between glycaemic variability and cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction in patients with type 1 diabetes: A systematic review Open
Rigorous glycaemic control—reflected by low HbA1c goals—is of the utmost importance in the prevention and management of complications in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). However, previous studies suggested that short‐term gly…

The effects of aerobic exercise on eGFR, blood pressure and VO2peak in patients with chronic kidney disease stages 3-4: A systematic review and meta-analysis Open
There is a small beneficial effect of aerobic training on estimated glomerular filtration rate and exercise tolerance, but not on blood pressure, in patients with CKD stages 3-4. However, data are limited and pooled findings were rated as …

The interrelationship between muscle oxygenation, muscle activation, and pulmonary oxygen uptake to incremental ramp exercise: influence of aerobic fitness Open
We investigated whether muscle and ventilatory responses to incremental ramp exercise would be influenced by aerobic fitness status by means of a cross-sectional study with a large subject population. Sixty-four male students (age: 21.2 ± …

Non-invasive screening for peripheral oxygenation dysfunction in healthy and pathological populations Open
Metabolic myopathies are diseases where muscle dysfunction acts as one of the major symptoms, usually caused by genetic defects or hormonal dysfunction. These myopathies comprise several subgroup diseases resulting from defects in biochemi…
