Purpose: The purpose of this project was to improve exercise-friendliness of a low SES neighbourhood in the Netherlands. This neighbourhood was chosen because it scored below average on important health parameters like self-efficacy, resilience, and quality of life. Methods: We followed the Our Voice …

Purpose To investigate the test-retest reliability and validity of the steep ramp test (SRT), a short and practical maximal exercise test on a cycle ergometer, for assessing CRF in apparently healthy adults aged 25–85 years. Methods To determine test-retest reliability, the reliability group performed …

Cardiorespiratoire fitheid (CRF) is een indicator van gezondheid. De gouden standaard voor het meten van de CRF is de cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET). Uit onderzoek blijkt dat de CPET tijdrovend en kostbaar is. Een alternatief voor het meten van CRF is de Steep Ramp Test (SRT). Het Lifelong Fitness …

This thesis investigated how homeostatic resilience can be determined based on the response of various biomarkers during and after a standardised bicycle ergometer test. The test model had to be reproducible and widely applicable to people with varying health statuses. To this end, two controlled human …

Objectives Providing an overview of the clinimetric properties of the steep ramp test (SRT), a short-term maximal exercise test, to assess cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), describing its underlying physiological responses, and summarizing its applications in current clinical and research practice. Data …

Introduction: The optimal pre-participation screening strategy to identify athletes at risk for exercise-induced cardiovascular events is unknown. We therefore aimed to compare the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and European Society of Cardiology (ESC) pre-participation screening strategies …

Purpose Cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) following chemotherapy is commonly reported in breast cancer survivors, even years after treatment. Data from preclinical studies suggest that exercise during chemotherapy may prevent or diminish cognitive problems; however, clinical data are scarce. …

De relatie tussen de primaire uitkomstmaten van de steep ramp test en de cardio pulmonale exercise testing.

Objective. After laryngectomy, the breathing resistance of heat and moisture exchangers may limit exercise capacity. Breathing gas analysis during cardiopulmonary exercise testing is not possible using regular masks. This study tested the feasibility of cardiopulmonary exercise testing with a heat and …

The aim of this study was to gain insight into the visual functioning of children with profound intellectuual and multiple disabilities (PIMD). A mixed methods study was performed, determining cross-sectional quantitative ophthalmological/orthoptic data, and qualitative observational data with a standardized …
