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...

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...

Just wrote a blog about what deconditioning looks like and how it differs from ME/CFS. https://mecfsskeptic.com/what-does-deconditioning-look-like/ Interestingly the best evidence on deconditioning comes from NASA bed rest studies. Head-down bed rest was used as a proxy for the low gravity...

Physical exercise-related manifestations of long COVID: A systematic review and meta-analysis Zheng; Chen; Dai; Wan; Sun; Huang; Chen OBJECTIVES This study aims to systematically assess physical exercise-related symptoms of post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC or long COVID) in...

Reduced Autonomic Function in Patients with Long-COVID-19 Syndrome is Mediated by Cardiorespiratory Fitness Oscoz-Ochandorena; Legarra-Gorgoñon; García-Alonso; García-Alonso; Izquierdo; Ramírez-Vélez BACKGROUND Long‐COVID-19 syndrome (LCS) exhibits neurological problems such as peripheral...

Decreased physical performance despite objective and subjective maximal exhaustion in post-COVID-19 individuals with fatigue Vollrath, Shirin; Matits, Lynn; Schellenberg, Jana; Kirsten, Johannes; Steinacker, Jürgen M.; Bizjak, Daniel A. Introduction Fatigue is a common symptom in post-COVID-19...

Reduced athletic performance post-COVID-19 is associated with reduced anaerobic threshold Robert M Barker-Davies; Peter Ladlow; Rebecca Chamley; Edward Nicol; David A Holdsworth Detailed characterisation of cardiopulmonary limitations in patients post-COVID-19 is currently limited, particularly...

Background Patients with fibromyalgia (FM) exhibit low peak oxygen uptake ( ˙VO2peak). We aimed to detect the contribution of cardiac output to ( ˙Q) and arteriovenous oxygen difference [C(a-v)O2] to ˙VO2 from rest to peak exercise in patients with FM. Methods Thirty-five women with FM, aged...

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...

The use of oxygen as a possible screening biomarker for the diagnosis of chronic fatigue Fernando Pifarréa, Lluís Rossellób, Raúl Hilenoc, Joan Palmic, Llúcia Bañeresc, Antoni Planasc, Joan Antoni Prat Abstract Background The aim of this study was to verify whether the mean percentage of...
