“…No difference was seen between the evaluated groups in working capacity measured in W but the % of expected values was somewhat low in both groups. Predicted maximum exercise loads were taken from Wohlfart and Farazdaghi [12], who found that the working capacity for both men as well as women were higher than expected from the reference values commonly used [14].The reference values were based on tests performed at the same laboratory, with the same routines and equipment as in the present study. However, when comparing our data with those of Nordenfelt et.al.…”

Objectives:The primary aim of the present study was to compare the working capacity in patients with continent urinary diversion with a control group. Secondary aims were to assess the changes in electrolyte and acid-base homeostasis and the functional status during strenuous physical activity, and finally, the well-being in the two groups. Methods: Eleven patients who had undergone radical cystectomy and continent cutaneous diversion using an ileocolonic segment participated. The control group consisted of 12 men, matched for age and activity level. (59-97) % respectively of predicted values. Peak oxygen uptake was somewhat low in both groups when compared to P-O Åstrands norms. The blood tests revealed that the patients developed a slight metabolic hyperchloremic acidosis, not seen in the control group. There were no differences between the groups as assessed with the SF-36. Conclusion: Patients with a continent urinary diversion have a working capacity equal to a control group despite a slight metabolic hyperchloremic acidosis. Quality of life was similar in the two groups and corresponded well with the norms for the general Swedish population aged 65 to 74.

“…The patients exercised until the development of symptoms necessitated termination of the test, or until the patient had made a normal test in relation to the expected performance according to fixed tables based on sex, age and weight. 18 All data from the exercise test were stored in a database. From this database we extracted information regarding blood pressure measurements, heart rate, workload and time as well as body mass index (BMI) and smoking status.…”

Exercise blood pressure and the risk of future hypertension

et al. 2011

The aim of this prospective cohort study was to identify which blood pressure measurement during exercise is the best predictor of future hypertension. Further we aimed to create a risk chart to facilitate the evaluation of blood pressure reaction during exercise testing. A number (n ¼ 1047) of exercise tests by bicycle ergometry, performed in 1996 and 1997 were analysed. In 2007 --2008, 606 patients without hypertension at the time of the exercise test were sent a questionnaire aimed to identify current hypertension. The response rate was 58% (n ¼ 352). During the 10 --12 years between exercise test and questionnaire, 23% developed hypertension. The strongest predictors of future hypertension were systolic blood pressure (SBP) before exercise (odds ratios (OR) 1.63 (1.31 --2.01) for 10 mm Hg difference) in combination with the increase of SBP over time during exercise testing (OR 1.12 (1.01 --1.24) steeper increase for every 1 mm Hg min À1 ). A high SBP before exercise and a steep rise in SBP over time represented a higher risk of developing hypertension. A risk chart based on SBP before exercise, increase of SBP over time and body mass index was created. SBP before exercise, maximal SBP during exercise and SBP at 100 W were significant single predictors of future hypertension and the prediction by maximal SBP was improved by adjusting for time/ power at which SBP max was reached during exercise testing. Recovery ratio (maximal SBP/SBP 4 min after exercise) was not predictive of future hypertension.
