Resistance Training: Simple and Effective Open
It has been since 2007 that the American Heart Association (AHA) last published a scientific statement focused on resistance training and cardiovascular disease (CVD) (1). The December 2023 statement is an update emphasizing the accumulati…
Playing a Role in the Diabetes Care Continuum Open
A recent ‘Number Check' article in the American College of Cardiology's monthly magazine realerted me to the havoc of diabetes (1). The article provided the following sobering data of the U.S. population: 11.3% has type 2 diabetes (T2D). A…
Inserting Clinical Exercise Physiology Into the Continuum of Cancer Care Open
The past decade has seen an explosion of evidence linking the performance of physical activity and purposeful exercise with the reduction of risk of several general type of cancer (e.g., breast, prostate, colon, endometrium, and possibly p…
The Clinical Exercise Physiologist Revolution is Happening Now Open
The Clinical Exercise Physiologist revolution for professional recognition in the United Kingdom (UK) turned a corner recently. On December 14, 2021, the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (BASES) and Clinical Exercise Phys…
Exercise Training and Its Far-Reaching Effects Open
Over time I have been continually amazed at what is learned each year about the positive aspects of regular exercise training. When I began my career as a clinical exercise physiologist in 1985, I worked with patients in the cardiac rehabi…
The Cost of Chronic Disease—Clinical Exercise Physiologists Can Be Part of the Solution Open
Recently I was reading an article of an insurance study by the Health Action Council about the cost to employers for workers who have chronic diseases or conditions (1). The data was compiled from 57 nationwide employers who cover the heal…
The Final Frontier(s)? Open
Have we reached the pinnacle of insurance-approved chronic diseases for supervised exercise therapy (SET)? This is true only if the clinical exercise physiology (CEP) community is satisfied that no other populations would benefit from SET.…
Fitness and prostate cancer screening, incidence, and mortality: Results from the Henry Ford Exercise Testing (FIT) Project Open
Background The relation between cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and prostate cancer is not well established. The objective of this study was to determine whether CRF is associated with prostate cancer screening, incidence, or mortality. Me…
Finding The Clinical Exercise Physiologist's Collective Voice During the COVID-19 Pandemic Open
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, shelter-in-place mandates; quarantines for those who test positive, have been exposed, or who have symptoms; and restrictions on travel, dining out, recreational pursuits, and exercise facilities, etc., ha…

Association of BMI, Fitness, and Mortality in Patients With Diabetes: Evaluating the Obesity Paradox in the Henry Ford Exercise Testing Project (FIT Project) Cohort Open
OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of fitness on the association between BMI and mortality among patients with diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We identified 8,528 patients with diabetes (self-report, medication use, or electronic medi…
Cardiorespiratory fitness and incident lung and colorectal cancer in men and women: Results from the Henry Ford Exercise Testing (FIT) cohort Open
Background To the authors’ knowledge, the relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and lung and colorectal cancer outcomes is not well established. Methods A retrospective cohort study was performed of 49,143 consecutive patien…
5‐2‐1‐0 Lifestyle risk factors predict obesity in Millennials Open
The Making Effective Nutritional Choices Generation Y (MENU GenY) study is a web‐based intervention trial aimed at improving food choices in those aged 21‐30 years. We report baseline levels of the 5‐2‐1‐0 healthy lifestyle patterns to pre…
Higher cardiorespiratory fitness predicts long-term survival in patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction: the Henry Ford Exercise Testing (FIT) Project Open
Moderate-high CRF in patients with HFpEF is associated with improved survival, and differences in CRF partly explain the intrinsic risk of HFpEF. Randomized trials of interventions aimed at improving CRF in HFpEF are needed.
Prognostic value of exercise capacity among patients with treated depression: The Henry Ford Exercise Testing (FIT) Project Open
Background Exercise capacity is associated with survival in the general population. Whether this applies to patients with treated depression is not clear. Hypothesis High exercise capacity remains associated with lower risk of all‐cause mo…
Exercise Oscillatory Ventilation Open
Interreviewer agreement for EOV in patients with HF is fair to moderate, which can negatively affect risk stratification. VDI has strong predictive validity with EOV; as such, it might be a useful measure of prognosis in patients with HF.
