Spruit and published by Leuven University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a Ph.D. dissertation. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disease state characterized by airflow limitation that is not fully reversible. The airflow limitation is usually progressive and associated with an abnormal inflammatory response of the lungs to noxious particles or gases. Clinically, it is characterized by complaints of cough, sputum production, and/or dyspnoea, and diagnosed by a significantly reduced Tiffeneau index. It was the fourth leading cause of death in the United States in 1996, exceeded only by heart attacks, cancers and stroke. Hence, COPD is a major global health problem and its burden on society is growing rapidly. For these reasons, COPD was chosen as a study population in the present project.

This book was released on 2015-01-29 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical activity and exercise were receiving a great attention as a strategy of prevention and treatment of affective and some anxiety disorders. Many studies have showed the efficacy of exercise in major depression and at depressed episode of bipolar patients, as well as, some authors shows the benefits of exercise in some anxiety disorders like Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Panic. Despite their efficacy, little is known concerning the main mechanisms related to the antidepressant and anxiolytic effects of exercise. Several studies in an animal model using Neurotrophic Factors, Oxidative Stress, Immunologic response and other biological markers reveal promising results. However, few studies were conducted in clinical samples. Additional to the antidepressant and anxiolytic effects, exercise appears improve QoL in major depressed, bipolar and anxiety patients. Theoretically, this increase may be associated with cognitive improvements, improvements at sleep quality, physical functioning, as well as other psychological issues as self-esteem, self-concept, and general well-being. The propose of this topic is to address the novelty and most recent research, related to antidepressant and anxiolytic effects of physical activity and exercise in patients with affective and anxiety disorders, as well as the issues associated with QoL improvement.The topic is looking for: – Clinical trials using exercise and physical activity as a treatment affective and anxiety disorders. – Studies investigating the optimal prescription factors (dose, volume, intensity, setting, frequency) associated with antidepressant and anxiolytic effects of physical activity and exercise for affective and anxiety disorder patients. – Original studies, comprehensive reviews, hypothesis and opinions concerning the mechanisms of antidepressant and anxiolytic effects of physical activity and exercise in affective and anxiety disorder patients. – Original studies, comprehensive reviews, hypothesis and opinions concerning other benefits of physical activity and exercise like : cognition, weight gain prevention and QoL in affective and anxiety disorder patients. – Translational research. – Studies of cost-efficacy analysis.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive, debilitating and irreversible condition characterized by dyspnea or breathlessness upon exertion. Comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation, which includes exercise training, has been shown to improve exercise tolerance, health-related quality of life and dyspnea. Long-term studies of rehabilitation outcomes show that these benefits tend to diminish over time. This study of patients in a pulmonary rehabilitation program examined (1) the physical and psychological factors related to exercise maintenance and (2) the role of exercise maintenance on long-term functional outcomes. One hundred sixty-four patients with chronic lung disease completed an 8-week rehabilitation program and were randomized to a 12-month maintenance program (n = 83) or a standard care condition (n = 81). Assessments of exercise, health-related quality of life (Quality of Well-Being Scale), dyspnea (UCSD Shortness of Breath Questionnaire and Dyspnea Scale of the Chronic Respiratory Questionnaire), exercise tolerance (6-minute walk test and Perceived Breathlessness), depression (CES-D), self-efficacy for walking, and disease severity were taken at pre- and post-rehabilitation, and at 6, 12, 24 months and 5-8 years after completing rehabilitation. Results show that the maintenance intervention did not prevent attrition from exercise as walking declined similarly across both groups by 24 months after rehabilitation. Patients in the maintenance condition, on average, walked 90 minutes per week during the 12-month intervention. Hierarchical regression analyses show that disease severity at post-rehabilitation was a statistically significant and unique predictor of overall exercise adherence during the 12 months following rehabilitation after controlling for health care utilization, age, and self-efficacy for walking. Patients with higher exercise participation had maintained better levels of self-efficacy, tolerance for dyspnea, and dyspnea during activities of daily living by 12 months after rehabilitation as compared to those who walked less. Findings support the presence of a relationship between health status and exercise maintenance among patients who complete pulmonary rehabilitation. Exercise maintenance in the form of walking may play an important role in the long-term outcomes of pulmonary rehabilitation for some patients. Maintenance interventions including regular medical follow-up need to be tailored to the patient's health status to further optimize long-term benefits of pulmonary rehabilitation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Exercise Effect on Mental Health contains the most recent and thorough overview of the links between exercise and mental health, and the underlying mechanisms of the brain. The text will enhance interested clinicians’ and researchers’ understanding of the neurobiological effect of exercise on mental health. Editors Budde and Wegner have compiled a comprehensive review of the ways in which physical activity impacts the neurobiological mechanisms of the most common psychological and psychiatric disorders, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. This text presents a rigorously evidence-based case for exercise as an inexpensive, time-saving, and highly effective treatment for those suffering from mental illness and distress.

This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Exertional breathlessness and fatigue are common disabling symptoms of patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Chronic Heart Failure (CHF). The mechanisms behind these symptoms are similar including skeletal muscle dysfunction. Exercise training at least partially reverses the skeletal muscle abnormalities and improves exercise performance and health related quality of life in both conditions. Pulmonary rehabilitation, with exercise training as a core component, is an integral part of the management of COPD, but a service for CHF has not developed in the same way. The hypothesis, for the main studies described in this thesis, was that the successful model of pulmonary rehabilitation could be applied to patients with CHF and patients with COPD and CHF could be beneficially trained together. Methods: Two main studies were undertaken; 1) a randomised controlled trial of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) vs. normal care (NC) in patients with CHF 2) a comparative observational study of PR between COPD and CHF. Alongside these studies, the outcome measures commonly used for COPD were applied to patients with CHF. Two pilot studies were performed investigating the effect of exercise training on other systemic manifestations of COPD and CHF. Results: Patients with CHF made significant improvements in exercise performance and health status with PR compared to NC. The improvements were similar to those seen in the patients with COPD. Measures of exercise performance and health status were applied successfully to patients with CHF. Conclusions: Patients with COPD and CHF can be successfully trained together demonstrating the feasibility of generic exercise rehabilitation for exertional breathlessness. Further work would need to investigate whether combined exercise programmes for COPD and CHF provides economies of scale for both populations. The work in this thesis highlights the possibility of organising services for chronic disease around a disability rather than an individual disease.
