Cardiac structure and function 1.5 years after COVID-19: results from the EPILOC study Schellenberg, Jana; Matits, Lynn; Bizjak, Daniel A.; Deibert, Peter; Friedmann-Bette, Birgit; Göpel, Siri; Merle, Uta; Niess, Andreas; Frey, Norbert; Morath, Oliver; Erz, Gunnar; Peter, Raphael S.; Nieters...

Maximal oxygen uptake, pulmonary function and walking economy are not impaired in patients diagnosed with long COVID OK Berg, N Aagård, J Helgerud, MF Brobakken, J Hoff, E Wang Introduction SARS-CoV-2 may result in the development of new symptoms, known as long COVID, a few months after the...

"The largest study on repeated cardiopulmonary exercise testing in myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) could not find a strong effect. Declines during the second exercise test are also present in many healthy controls and do not correlate well with functional disability...

Abstract Graded exercise testing (GXT) is the most widely used assessment to examine the dynamic relationship between exercise and integrated physiological systems. The information from GXT can be applied across the spectrum of sport performance, occupational safety screening, research, and...

Abstract This study aimed to assess pulmonary and muscle dysfunction by analyzing the slow component of oxygen uptake (VO2SC), and mechanical and ventilatory efficiency in adult women recovered from the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type II (SARS-CoV-2) during a constant load...

Abstract Patients recovering from COVID-19 often report symptoms of exhaustion, fatigue and dyspnoea and present with exercise intolerance persisting for months post-infection. Numerous studies investigated these sequelae and their possible underlying mechanisms using cardiopulmonary exercise...

Abstract Purpose: Previous studies in chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) have reported reductions in maximal oxygen uptake (VO(2max)), yet often the testing procedures have not followed accepted guidelines, and gender data have been pooled. The present study was undertaken to reevaluate exercise...

Background: Orthostatic intolerance (OI) is a core finding in individuals with myalgic encephalomyelitis /chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). Deconditioning is often proposed as an important determinant for OI. Deconditioning can be objectively classified using the predicted peak oxygen...

Decreases in maximal oxygen uptake following long-duration spaceflight: Role of convective and diffusive O2 transport mechanisms C. J. Ade, R. M. Broxterman, A. D. Moore, and T. J. Barstow Abstract We have previously predicted that the decrease in maximal oxygen uptake (V̇o2max) that...

Abstract Background Some Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients who have recovered from their acute infection after experiencing only mild symptoms continue to exhibit persistent exertional limitation that is often unexplained by conventional investigative studies. Research question What...

From @PhysiosforME "Participants needed for our study We are delighted to announce that recruitment has now begun for our feasibility study: “Feasibility of investigating oxygen consumption (VO2), heart rate, blood pressure, lactic acid levels and activity levels of people with Myalgic...

Physios for ME have announced a new study led by Dr Nicola Clague-Baker and funded by the MEA Ramsay Research fund. Full title of study: “Feasibility of investigating oxygen consumption (VO2), heart rate, blood pressure, lactic acid levels and activity levels of people with Myalgic...

Mostly an article by sports scientists exhorting us all – well, maybe not us specifically – to exercise more. However, the article mentions an interesting working hypothesis (no published papers on this that I could find, not looking very hard though). Bolding mine...

Peak Oxygen Uptake in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis: A Meta-Analysis. Franklin JD, Atkinson G, Atkinson JM, Batterham AM. Int J Sports Med. 2018 Dec 17. doi: 10.1055/a-0802-9175. [Epub ahead of print] Abstract: "To evaluate the magnitude of the difference in VO2peak...
