Introduction: Athletes’ level of physical fitness has become the basis for achieving their sports ability. The lack of physical fitness can generate a great impasse in the quality of movements and the performance of the athletes. Objective: Study functional training research on aerobics athletes’ athletic quality. Methods: The content of functional training applications in competitive aerobics and fitness was analyzed through a literature review. Research methods of mathematical statistics were used to analyze the collected data and contrast it with the current scientific literature. Volunteers for the research were athletes from the aerobics team at the Institute of Physical Education. They were randomly divided into two groups, the experimental group (n=9) and the control group (n=9). Functional training was added only to the experimental group; all performed the standard training. Results: In the mean total score of the FMS functional movement screening test, the athletes in the experimental group from 9.22 points before the experiment to 15.65 points after the experiment. The control group athletes improved from 9.83 points before the experiment to only 11.23 points after. Conclusion: It was evidenced a dominant improvement in the movement of the athletes who executed the suggested training, acquiring greater coordination gain through functional training.

Background Patients with early lung cancer often undergo surgery. However, surgery usually results in a decline in health‐related quality of life (HRQL). Several questionnaires have previously been used to assess HRQL but some are impractical for clinical use. The chronic obstructive pulmonary disease assessment test (CAT) is simple and has been widely used in respiratory diseases but not for lung cancer. We therefore conducted this study to clarify the role of the CAT in postoperative deterioration and recovery of HRQL. Methods Fifty‐five patients who underwent lung resection were recruited into the study. Cardiopulmonary exercise tests and respiratory muscle strength were performed 1 week before surgery (pre‐OP) and at post‐OP 1 month. HRQL was assessed through the CAT and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Core Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ‐C30) 1 week pre‐OP and post‐OP 1 and at 2 months. Results Fifteen (27.3%) patients underwent wedge resection, four (7.3%) underwent segmentectomy, and 36 (65.5%) underwent lobectomy. After lobectomy, exercise capacity decreased significantly. The deterioration of CAT symptoms (cough, phlegm, chest tightness, dyspnea, activity, confidence, sleep disturbance, and lack of energy) was more prominent in patients who had undergone lobectomy than wedge resection. Based on the EORTC QLQ‐C30, physical, role function, fatigue, pain, sleep disturbance, dyspnea, and global health status worsened significantly, whereas there was no significant difference in other symptoms. HRQL recovered at post‐OP 2 months in patients who had undergone wedge resection but not lobectomy. Conclusions Postoperative HRQL and exercise capacity in patients were significantly reduced, especially those who had undergone lobectomy. The CAT significantly reflected postoperative changes in HRQL.

“…Maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximum expiratory pressure (MEP) were measured five times with a pressure gauge (Respiratory Pressure Meter; Micro Medical Corp, England), and the highest value was recorded. 4 , 10 For the measurement of MIP, the patients exhaled to the residual volume and then perform a rapid maximal inspiration. For the measurement of MEP, the patients inhaled to the total lung capacity and then exhaled with maximal effort.…”

“…We previously reported that COPD patients with a poor WE also had early anaerobic metabolism, lower exercise capacity, more exertional dyspnea, and poorer HRQL. 4 However, whether WE affects the effect of PR in COPD patients with a poor WE remain unknown.…”

Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) often involves the cardiopulmonary dysfunction that deteriorates health-related quality of life (HRQL) and exercise capacity. Work efficiency (WE) indicates the efficiency of overall oxygen consumption (VO 2 ) during exercise. This study investigated whether different WEs have different effects on pulmonary rehabilitation (PR). Methods Forty-five patients with stable COPD were scheduled for PR. The PR programs consisted of twice-weekly sessions for three months. These patients were comprehensively evaluated by cardiopulmonary exercise testing and COPD assessment test (CAT) before and after PR. We compared these parameters between patients with a normal versus poor WE. Results Twenty-one patients had a normal WE and twenty-four patients had a poor WE (<8.6 mL/min/watt). Patients with a poor WE had earlier anaerobic metabolism, a poorer oxygen pulse, lower exercise capacity, more exertional dyspnea, and a poorer HRQL than those with a normal WE. PR improved exercise capacity, HRQL, anaerobic threshold, exertional dyspnea and leg fatigue in patients with either normal or poor WE. However, significant improvement of WE, oxygen pulse, respiratory frequency (Rf) during exercise, chest tightness, activity and sleepiness by CAT were noted only in patients with a poor WE. Among the patients with a poor WE, 29% patients had WE returned to normal after PR. Conclusion Patients with different WE had different responses to PR. PR improved exercise capacity and HRQL regardless of a normal or poor WE. However, WE, oxygen pulse, Rf during exercise, chest tightness, activity and sleepiness were only improved in patients with a poor WE.
