Exercise testing is a versatile tool for health purposes. When used in combination with specific devices and sensors, it can provide valuable diagnostic and prognostic information in a wide range of populations. Exercise testing outcomes are also useful for training prescriptions and defining responses to clinical trials evaluating interventions. Whole-body maximal tests (e.g., cardiopulmonary exercise testing), field tests (e.g., walking tests), and modalities isolating a muscle group (e.g., isokinetic endurance testing) all have their advantages and limits and should be viewed as complementary. Recent advances in wearable technology and artificial intelligence provide unique opportunities ...
Training under venous blood flow restriction (BFR) has received considerable interest in sports science and sports medicine journals in recent years. Driven by the positive effects of BFR training on muscle mass and function, a growing number of clinical scientists are beginning to investigate this training therapy and its potential impact on health and disease. Muscle wasting due to age or disease is a catalyst for disease development in almost any condition. However, today's clinical training therapy has no suitable training methods to enable the majority of physically compromised patients to train in a way that provides the necessary intensity for muscle adaptations. While BFR training co...
