PREC 2019: Personal Robots for Exercising and Coaching

Ayberk Özgür, Arzu Güneysu Özgür

Exercising is strongly recommended for prevention and treatment of pathologies with high prevalence such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and diabetes. The World Health Organization (WHO) states that insufficient physical activity is one of the leading ...

The upper limit of cardiorespiratory fitness associated with longevity: an update

Johannes Burtscher

In 2013, mortality reductions with improving cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) have been suggested to persist until 13 METs. More recently, accumulating evidence from large-scale studies suggests that mortality from all causes decreases with increasing CRF l ...

Mitochondrial oxidative capacity and NAD(+) biosynthesis are reduced in human sarcopenia across ethnicities

Patrick Descombes, Tanja Sonntag

The causes of impaired skeletal muscle mass and strength during aging are well-studied in healthy populations. Less is known on pathological age-related muscle wasting and weakness termed sarcopenia, which directly impacts physical autonomy and survival. H ...

HealthSit: Designing Posture-Based Interaction to Promote Exercise during Fitness Breaks

Pearl Pu Faltings, Yu Chen

This research was motivated by a desire to help office workers change their sedentary behavior because a prolonged sedentary posture increases the risks of developing musculoskeletal injuries and chronic diseases, thus threatening their physical and psycho ...

Metabolic cost calculations of gait using musculoskeletal energy models, a comparison study

Anne Daniëlle Koelewijn

This paper compares predictions of metabolic energy expenditure in gait using seven metabolic energy expenditure models to assess their correlation with experimental data. Ground reaction forces, marker data, and pulmonary gas exchange data were recorded f ...

Submaximal exercise testing at low altitude for prediction of exercise tolerance at high altitude

Johannes Burtscher

Annually, thousands of air travellers visit high altitude destinations to enjoy hiking tours to attractions in surrounding areas. However, many of them are not adequately trained, not sufficiently acclimatized and/or may suffer from pre-existing diseases. ...

Overload blunts baroreflex only in overreached athletes

Jean-Marc Vesin, Grégoire Millet, Sasan Yazdani, Masih Nilchian

Heart rate variability (HRV) is commonly used to diagnose overreaching and monitor athletes’ responses to training. Baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) is modified by changes in training load and might be another means to detect overreaching. The goal of this stu ...

Ultra high magnetic field for glial contribution into brain metabolism studied by MR spectroscopy and CEST methods for molecular imaging of glycogen

Elise Marie Catherine Vinckenbosch

Magnetic resonance at ultra-high field increases signal and spectral dispersion. In this thesis, I use those characteristics to investigate three different subjects in 13C spectroscopy, hyperpolarized methods and chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST ...

Enhanced Respiratory Chain Supercomplex Formation in Response to Exercise in Human Skeletal Muscle

Johan Auwerx, Carlos Canto Alvarez, Xu Wang, Pooja Jha, Chiara Greggio

Mitochondrial dysfunction is a hallmark of multiple metabolic complications. Physical activity is known to increase mitochondrial content in skeletal muscle, counteracting age-related decline in muscle function and protecting against metabolic and cardiova ...
