The influence of exercise modality and intensity on ventricular arrhythmia burden and perception of effort in patients with Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy with pla... by Fernando G. Beltrami, Kyle G. P. J. M. Boyle, Guan Fu, Corinna Brunckhorst, Firat Duru, Christina M. Spengler, Ardan M. Saguner

“…Discussion/Conclusion PVC burden, a marker for arrhythmogenicity, was generally higher during recovery than during exercise, with the smallest burden found during the exercise with a small muscle mass, despite high perceived exertion. Thus, such exercises might be better suited for training in ARVC patients. …”

Is grip strength linked to body composition and cardiovascular risk markers in primary schoolchildren? Cross-sectional data from three African countries by Juerg Utzinger, Nicole Probst-Hensch, Honorati Masanja, Uwe Pühse, Bassirou Bonfoh, Ivan Müller, Cheryl Walter, Rosa Du Randt, Stefanie Gall, Siphesihle Nqweniso, Peter Steinmann, Markus Gerber, Fredros O Okumu, Serge Ayekoé, Jean T Coulibaly, Dao Daouda, Bomey Clément Gba, Benal Kouassi, Sylvain G Traoré, Marceline F Finda, Elihaika G Minja, Getrud J Mollel, Johanna Beckmann, Christin Lang, Kurt Z Long

“…Inferential statistics are based on mixed linear regressions and analyses of covariance.Results Across all study sites, higher HGS was associated with lower body fat, higher muscle mass and higher fat-free mass (p<0.001, 3.9%–10.0% explained variance), both in boys and girls. …”
