Impact Exercise

Objective.To examine the influence of a medium-impact exercise program (MIEP) on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2max) in females with subclinical hypothyroidism (sHT).Materials and Methods.We selected 17 sedentary women with sHT (mean age: 43.1 (standard deviation: 9.7) years). Participants carried out an MIEP consisting of 3 weekly sessions of 60 minutes during 12 weeks. Before and after the exercise program HRQoL was assessed by the SF-12v2 questionnaire, andVO2maxwas evaluated by Rockport walk test.Results.After the 12-week intervention, the participants that performed an MIEP showed improvements in HRQoL in most domains, particularly the vitality domain by 7 points, the social functioning domain by 10 points, the mental health domain by 7 points, and the mental component summary by 7 points. One of the four domains within the physical component summary (general health domain) showed significant effect of the exercise intervention: 6 points. Moreover, the participants that performed exercise showed a higherVO2max(28%;P<0.01).Conclusion.After 12 weeks of medium-impact exercise program, there were remarkable improvements in HRQoL in most domains. Moreover, this exercise program proved to have a positive influence on cardiorespiratory fitness.

In 6- to 8-year-old children, cardiorespiratory fitness moderates the relationship between severity of life events and health-related quality of life

Abstract Background Understanding the determinants of quality of life for the patients after lung resection would be beneficial to affect the prevention programs and the treatment strategies. This novel study aims to explore the relationship between pulmonary function, physical activity, cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), dyspnea, and the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients with resected lung cancer. Methods A cross-sectional study design with 38 lung cancer survivors after surgery for one month was conducted. We assessed CRF by measuring maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) and anaerobic threshold (VT).Forced vital capacity (FVC) was measured using a spirometer. Physical activity, dyspnea, and HRQoLwereinvestigated by 6-minute walking distance (6MWD), Borg dyspnea scales, and the SF-36 Health Survey (SF-36), respectively.Data analyses were conducted using SmartPLS to examine path analyses between the measures. Results There was a significant relationship between CRF andHRQoL in this cohort of cancer survivors.FVC (f2 = 0.265) and 6MWD (f2 = 0.389) have a medium to large effect size on the perceived CRF while CRF (f2 = 0.467) was found to have large effect sizes on perceived QoL. More importantly, our results showed that CRF positively and significantly mediated the paths betweenFVC, 6MWD, andHRQoL[β = 0.22 (0.457*0.474),P < 0.01; β = 0.28 (0.525*0.540), P < 0.01; respectively]. Conclusions Pulmonary function, physical activity, and dyspnea had an indirect effect on the quality of life in patients with resected lung cancer. Furthermore, CRF mediates pulmonary function and physical activity to produces an impact on their quality of life.
