Breathing-coordinated exercise is a traditional Chinese exercise. These exercise maneuvers consist of slow diaphragmatic breathing, end-inspiratory pause, and Kegel's exercise. A total of 30 patients were enrolled in this study, with 12 patients as controls, to evaluate its effect on hemodialysis patients. Exercise was performed for 25 to 30 min twice a day for at least 3 months. Results from the exercise group showed a subjective improvement in appetite and physical strength, and an increase in the frequency of bowel movements, in addition to enhanced sexual activity and a significant increase in Karnofsky scores. Six patients in the exercise group underwent bicycle ergometry and demonstrated a stable maximal oxygen consumption, whereas the control group revealed a decline in maximal oxygen consumption. Photoelectric plethysmography and laser-Doppler flowmetry demonstrated a pulsatile enhancement of the peripheral microcirculation. Abdominal sonography revealed an oscillatory change in the diameter of the inferior vena cava. It was concluded that these gentle exercise maneuvers may improve the quality of life in hemodialysis patients, especially weak dialysis patients. The mechanism may be partly related to an improvement in microcirculation.

Background: Physical exercise in patients with heart failure maydecrease the level of proinflammatory biomarkers,increase maximal oxygen consumption, improve pulmonary function and quality of life. Circuit training is one of the most advantageous exercise models because it improves cardiorespiratory fitness and muscle strength. Objective: This study was aimed to investigate the effect of circuit training on proinflammatory biomarkers, functional capacity, pulmonary function, and quality of life in patients with chronic heart failure in RSUP Dr. Kariadi Methods: Twenty-six stable chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction patients were randomized into exercise group that received circuit training in the rehabilitation center of Kariadi Hospital for a month and control group. TNF- ? levels, maximum oxygen consumption, pulmonary function, and quality of life were taken before and after the exercise period. Data between two groups was analyzed with the Mann-Whitney test. Pre and post data was analyzed with the Wilcoxon test.  Results: Nine-teensubjects completed the study without any significant side effects.There was no significant difference in TNF-? levels before and after treatment between treatment groups and control groups (p=0,513). The treatment group with circuit training showed a greater increase in maximum oxygen consumption (p=0,034), greater increase in Forced Vital Capacity value(p=0,010) and a greater increase in quality of life score(p=0,047)than the control group. Conclusion: Circuit training in patients with chronic heart failure can increase maximal oxygen consumption, lung function, and quality of life, but no changes in inflammatory biomarkers. Keywords: Circuit training, TNF-a, maximal oxygen consumption, FVC, quality of life   Latar belakang: Latihan fisik pada pasien gagal jantung dapat menurunkan kadar biomarker proinflamasi, meningkatkan konsumsi oksigen maksimal, memperbaiki fungsi paru dan meningkatkan kualitas hidup. Latihan sirkuit merupakan salah satu model latihan fisik yang lebih menguntungkan karena mampu memperbaiki kebugaran kardiorespirasi dan kekuatan otot sekaligus. Tujuan:Menganalisispengaruh latihan sirkuit terhadap biomarker inflamasi, kapasitas fungsional, fungsi parudan kualitas hiduppasien gagal jantung kronik di RSUP Dr.Kariadi. Metode:Dua puluh enam pasien gagal jantung kronik stabil dengan penurunan fraksi ejeksi ventrikel kiri dirandomisasi menjadi kelompok yang  mendapatkan latihan sirkuit di bagian rehabilitasi RSUP Kariadi selama 1 bulan dan kelompok kontrol. Kadar TNF-a, nilai konsumsi oksigen maksimal, fungsi paru, dan kualitas hidupdiambil sebelum dan sesudah periode latihan. Analisis data antara dua kelompok menggunakan uji Mann-Whitney.Analisis data pre dan post, menggunakan uji Wilcoxon Hasil: Sembilan belas subjek menyelesaikan studi tanpa ada efek samping.Tidak didapati perubahan kadar TNF-a sesudah latihan sirkuit (p=0,513);Kelompok perlakuan dengan latihan sirkuit menunjukkan peningkatan konsumsi oksigen maksimal yang lebih besar (p=0,034), rerata peningkatan nilai FVC (Forced Vital Capacity) setelah latihan yang lebih besar (p=0,010), sertarerata peningkatan kualitas hidup yang lebih besar (p=0,047) dibandingkan kelompok kontrol. Simpulan: Latihan sirkuit pada pasien gagal jantung kronik dapat meningkatkan konsumsi oksigen maksimal, fungsi paru, dan kualitas hidup, namun tidak menyebabkan perubahan padabiomarker inflamasi. Kata Kunci: Latihan sirkuit, TNF-a, konsumsi oksigen maksimal, FVC, kualitas hidup

The Glittre ADL-test (TGlittre) has been designed and validated to measure functional capacity during daily living activities in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) but is now used in several other situations. The aim of this study was to evaluate the applicability of TGlittre in a sample of overweight and obese eutrophic elderly. This was an experimental and cross-sectional study, which included 21 elderly women, allocated by BMI, in eutrophic (n = 8), overweight (n = 6) and obese (n = 7) groups. They were assessed for functional capacity (TGlittre and 6MWT), quality of life (QOL) with the questionnaire World Health Organization Quality of Life for Older People (WHOQOL-OLD) and handgrip strength (HGS). TGlittre correlated with age (p = 0.0040) and with 6MWT (p = 0.0086), but no statistical difference was found in TGlittre's performance time and the distance covered in 6MWT between groups. TGlittre did not correlate with HGS (p = 0.1493) and WHOQOL-Old (p = 0.0905). The data obtained in the present study corroborate that TGlittre is used as a functional measurement variable in the elderly population.Keywords: aged, obesity, exercise intolerance.­­­
