Aging is associated with the impairment of health and functional capacity, and physical exercise seems to be an effective tool in frailty prevention and treatment. The purpose of this study was to present the methodology used in the EXERNET-Elder 3.0 project that aims to evaluate the immediate and residual effects and of a multicomponent exercise training program called Elder-fit on frailty, fitness, body composition and quality of life, and also to analyse a possible dietary intake interaction according to health and metabolic status. A total of 110 frail and pre-frail elders participated in this study and were divided into a control group (CG = 52) and an intervention group (IG = 58). The IG performed a supervised multicomponent exercise training program of 6 months and 3 days per week, which included strength, endurance, balance, coordination and flexibility exercises, while the CG continued with their usual daily activities. Both groups received four speeches about healthy habits along the project. Four evaluations were performed: at baseline, after 3 months of training, at the end of the training program (6 months) and 4 months after the program had ended to examine the effects of detraining. Evaluating the efficacy, safety and feasibility of this program will help to develop efficacious physical interventions against frailty. Further, protocols should be described accurately to allow exercise programs to be successfully replicated.

Exercise Training Program

Muscle training, a component of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR), improves the physical performance of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Despite the existing evidence, the traditional center-based PR model is applied to a small percentage of patients and presents numerous problems of accessibility, adherence, and costs. This study presents a home model of simple muscle training, non-presential, monitored by telephone and individualized, according to the severity of the COPD. In addition, to evaluate the results, simple tests associated with the physical performance of the lower limbs, previously validated in COPD, have been used, such as the four-meter walk, speed test (4MGS) and the five-repetition test sitting and standing (5STS). The objective was to evaluate whether the Individualized Non-Presential Exercise Training PrOgram (NIETO) induces improvements in the 4MGS, 5STS and quadriceps muscle strength (QMS) tests in outpatients with advanced COPD (FEV1 ≤ 50%). After one year, the QMS was significantly higher in the intervention group (IG) than in the control group (CG) (2.44 ± 4.07 vs. 0.05 ± 4.26 kg; p = 0.009). The 4MGS and 5STS tests were significantly shorter in IG than in CG (−0.39 ± 0.86 vs. 0.37 ± 0.96 s; p = 0.001) and (−1.55 ± 2.83 vs. 0.60 ± 2.06 s; p = 0.001), respectively. A home model of simple muscle training monitored by telephone such as NIETO, can improve 4MGS, 5STS, and quadriceps strength tests in outpatients with advanced COPD.

Abstract Back ground Regular exercise training program has been shown to reduce mortality, improve functional capacity and control risk factors in myocardial infarcted patients. Wall motion score index (WMSI) is a strong independent mortality predicator in patient with previous MI AIM The main objective of this study was to investigate the impact of exercise training on regional left ventricular systolic function, in patients post anterior myocardial infarction. using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging Methods We recruited twenty-six adult patients on optimal medical therapy one month after an anterior myocardial infarction underwent successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were assigned to a three-month exercise training program group or to a control group, (control group: n = 10, training group: n = 16). Symptom limited treadmill exercise (Modified Bruce Protocol) test was done to exercise training group before and repeated after finishing the CR program. Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) was performed for all patients 4 weeks after PCI and was repeated after completion of the study period that was lasted for 12 weeks. Results A total number of patients, included 26 (100%) males, assigned to control group n:10 without an exercise mean age 50± 8 years, weigh 84 ±17 kg, height 175±7.7 cm and EF was 36.62 ±14.23 and to training group n:16 with 3-months exercise training program, the mean age, weight, height and EF were 50.19±8.68 years, 82.69±16 kg, 172.81±7.74 cm, 36.62±14.32% respectively While there was significant improvement in EF (P < 0.0008), WMSI (P < 0.00003) without significant change in LVESV and LVEDV in exercise training group, there was no significant change in EF, WMSI, LVESV and LVEDV in control group. Conclusion CMR revealed that exercise training in post-myocardial infarction patients could have beneficial effects on LV global and regional function without adversely affecting LV remodeling or causing serious cardiac complications with significant improvement in exercise capacity after 3 months of exercise training program.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Talk test (TT) is an alternative and accessible tool for prescribing and monitoring aerobic training intensity. Although the TT is reliable and valid for cardiorespiratory assessment, its responsiveness to exercise training remains unexplored. Purpose To evaluate the responsiveness of TT in cardiovascular disease (CVD) patients who underwent an exercise training program. Methods Twenty-one CVD patients (61.7 ± 8.4 years) performed an exercise-training program on phase II of cardiac rehabilitation (45-min 3-times a week). The six-minute walk test (6MWT) and TT were done to assess functional capacity at baseline and after 8 weeks. In the individualized TT the treadmill’s speed and/or grade were increased every 2-min, with speed changes based on a reference equation for the 6MWT distance (6MWD). The subjects were asked to read a 38 words standard paragraph at the last 30s of each stage and to answer if they could talk comfortably. Answer options were i) YES (TT+), ii) UNCERTAIN (TT±), or iii) NO (TT-). The first ventilatory threshold (VT1) was identified by two reviewers using the heart rate variability analysis. A paired t-test was applied to analyze the TT duration and 6MWD. The VT1 and TT workload were analyzed by the Wilcoxon test. Spearman correlation was adopted to compare the TT± and VT1 stages. Results Improvement in the VT1 (2.9 ± 1.2 vs 4.4 ± 1.4 min; p < 0.001), duration (12.1 ± 4.4 vs 14.9 ± 5.2 min; p < 0.001), workload at TT- (67.8 ± 48.4 vs 104.5 ± 65.9 w; p < 0.001), and in the 6MWD (471.5 ± 100.3 vs 533.7 ± 92.9 m; p < 0.001) were observed. There was strong correlation between TT± and VT1 in pre (r = 0.613; p < 0.05) and post-rehabilitation (r = 0.678; p < 0.05). Conclusion Talk test performed on a treadmill showed responsiveness after eight weeks of exercise training, being sensitive to the physiological changes provided by the rehabilitation program in CVD patients.

ABSTRACTAn intervention trial with regular physical activity was carried out to test the hypothesis that walking speed is related to the level of cardiovascular fitness (maximal oxygen uptake). Earlier research has demonstrated that when VO2 max is held constant in a multiple regression analysis the association between walking speed and age (29–65 y) is eliminated. To describe the association between self-selected speeds of walking, and level of cardiovascular fitness, 63 men age 60 to 65 were studied before and after a 1 year program of exercise training. VO2 max was determined on a motor driven treadmill. A test of self-selected walking pace was administered over a 240 m indoor course. The men were asked to walk at 3 paces considered by the subjects to be rather slow, normal, and fast, respectively. They were randomly assigned with stratification for white and blue collar occupation to a program of exercise training (n = 33) or control (n = 27). The training program consisted of walking or jogging for 30 min three times per week for one year. After the training program the exercise group increased their VO2 max (9.5%) and their normal walking speed (1.29 to 1.43 m.s−1) significantly compared to the controls. A program of exercise endurance training will result in an increase in the speed of self-selected pace.
