OBJECTIVE: To further test the validity and clinical usefulness of the steep ramp test (SRT) in estimating exercise tolerance in cancer survivors by external validation and extension of previously published prediction models for peak oxygen consumption (Vo2peak) and peak power output (Wpeak). DESIGN: …

OBJECTIVES: Increasing protein or amino acid intake has been promoted as a promising strategy to increase muscle mass and strength in elderly people, however, long-term intervention studies show inconsistent findings. Therefore, we aim to determine the impact of protein or amino acid supplementation …

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether student characteristics, lower-extremity kinematics, and strength are risk factors for sustaining lower-extremity injuries in preprofessional contemporary dancers. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SETTING: Codarts University of the Arts. PATIENTS: Forty-five first-year …

During intensified phases of competition, attunement of exertion and recovery is crucial to maintain performance. Although a mismatch between coach and player perceptions of training load is demonstrated, it is unknown if these discrepancies also exist for match exertion and recovery. Purpose: To determine …

Kunstmest voor de velden en brandstof voor landbouwvoertuigen zijn belangrijke kostenposten voor de landbouw. Kunstmest en dieselbrandstof zijn energie-intensieve producten en daarmee ook een belangrijke bron van CO2 emissies vanuit de landbouw. Technologie voor hernieuwbare energie zoals zonne- en wind …

In deze sessie bespreken we recente ontwikkelingen op het gebied van het analyseren van de lichaamssamenstelling met behulp van beeldvormende technieken. We gaan daarbij in het bijzonder in op het gebruik van Computed Tomography (CT) beelden om de lichaamssamenstelling van oncologie patiënten te analyseren. …

Rationale: Head and neck cancer (HNC) patients often have adverse changes in body composition. Loss of muscle mass and strength frequently occur, even when dietary intake is adequate. Nascent evidence suggests that a healthy lifestyle, including adequate physical activity (PA) and diet, may prevent muscle …

OBJECTIVE: In this pilot study, we investigated the feasibility of a home-based, remotely guided exercise intervention for patients with gliomas. DESIGN: Pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) with randomization (2:1) to exercise or control group. SUBJECTS: Patients with stable grade II and III gliomas. …
