      <p>Purpose: To investigate the association between blood volume, hemoglobin mass (Hb<sub>mass</sub>), and peak oxygen uptake (VO<sub>2peak</sub>) in healthy older adults. <p>Methods: Fifty fit or unfit participants from the prospective randomized Generation 100 Study (<i>n</i> = 1,566) were included (age- and sex-specific VO<sub>2peak</sub> above or below average values). Blood, plasma, and erythrocyte ...

      Aims To investigate the associations of cardiorespiratory fitness with cardiac, vascular, renal and cardiorenal characteristics in chronic heart failure in a telerehabilitation randomized clinical trial. Secondly, to evaluate the associations of cardiorenal syndrome with the effects of exercise.<p> <p<Methods and results Sixty-nine heart failure patients attended baseline examination, and 61 ...
    • Feasibility of telerehabilitation for heart failure patients inaccessible for outpatient rehabilitation 

      Lundgren, Kari Margrethe; Langlo, Knut Asbjørn Rise; Salvesen, Øyvind; Zanaboni, Paolo; Cittanti, Elisa; Mo, Rune; Ellingsen, Øyvind; Dalen, Håvard; Aksetøy, Inger-Lise Aamot (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-23)
      Aims Despite strong recommendations, outpatient cardiac rehabilitation is underused in chronic heart failure (CHF) patients. Possible barriers are frailty, accessibility, and rural living, which may be overcome by telerehabilitation. We designed a randomized, controlled trial to evaluate the feasibility of a 3-month real-time, home-based telerehabilitation, high-intensity exercise programme for ...
