Ventilatory responses to constant load exercise following the inhalation of a short-acting ss2-agonist in a laboratory-controlled diesel exhaust exposure study in individuals with exercise-induced bronchoconstriction

Sarah Koch, Joseph F. Welch, Raymond Tran, Andrew H. Ramsook, Andy Hung, Christopher Carlsten, Jordan A. Guenette, Michael S. Koehle

Summary: The study found that using salbutamol before moderate-intensity exercise in high levels of diesel exhaust did not reduce respiratory function or exercise ventilatory responses, with no significant changes observed up to 60 minutes following exercise.

Summary: This study found that high levels of ambient air pollution, road traffic, and road traffic noise in urban environments are associated with increased risk of childhood obesity, while PMcoarse, land use mix, and food environment are separately associated with obesity risk.

Air pollution and high-intensity interval exercise: Implications to anti-inflammatory balance, metabolome and cardiovascular responses

Ramon Cruz, Sarah Koch, Monique Matsuda, Monica Marquezini, Mauricio L. Sforca, Adriano E. Lima-Silva, Paulo Saldiva, Michael Koehle, Romulo Bertuzzi

Summary: This study investigated the effects of high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) performed in traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) on physiological responses. The results demonstrated that exercising in a polluted environment could lead to imbalanced inflammatory responses, abnormal energy metabolism, and impaired blood pressure decrease. Conversely, exercising in a filtered air environment improved inflammatory balance and energy metabolism.

Summary: The study aims to establish the technical validity and patient acceptability of quantifying digital mobility in the real world by using IMU-based devices. The validation procedures cover device verification, algorithm validation, and users' perspective on the technology. Data and algorithms from the study will be made publicly available.

Summary: This study systematically mapped the existing evidence on the clinical utility of Digital Mobility Outcomes (DMOs), identifying gait speed, step length, cadence, and step count as consistently exhibiting evidence of validity and responsiveness in multiple conditions, while other DMOs lacked consistent evidence.

Impacts of changes in environmental exposures and health behaviours due to the COVID-19 pandemic on cardiovascular and mental health: A comparison of Barcelona, Vienna, and Stockholm

Sarah Koch, Sasha Khomenko, Marta Cirach, Monica Ubalde-Lopez, Sacha Baclet, Carolyn Daher, Laura Hidalgo, Mare Lohmus, Debora Rizzuto, Romain Rumpler, Yusak Susilo, Siddharth Venkataraman, Sandra Wegener, Gregory A. Wellenius, James Woodcock, Mark Nieuwenhuijsen

Summary: Responses to COVID-19 altered environmental exposures and health behaviors. The study quantified changes in nitrogen dioxide (NO2), noise, physical activity, and greenspace visits and estimated the impacts on diagnoses of myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, depression, and anxiety. The results showed that reductions in physical activity had the greatest impact, and to reduce cardiovascular and mental health impacts, decreases in NO2 and noise should be sustained without reducing physical activity.

Health impacts of electric micromobility transitions in Barcelona: A scenario analysis

Ines Lopez-Doriga, Guillem Vich, Sarah Koch, Sasha Khomenko, Oriol Marquet, Oriol Roig-Costa, Carolyn Daher, Davide Rasella, Mark Nieuwenhuijsen, Natalie Mueller

Summary: The use of electric micro-mobilities (EMMs) in cities has health implications. Shifting from cars and motorcycles to EMMs can prevent 13 to 26 preventable deaths annually, while shifting from walking and cycling to EMMs can result in 17 to 35 additional deaths each year. The impact on physical activity due to mode shifts outweighs the effects of air pollution and traffic accidents, contributing significantly to the overall health impact.

Personal strategies to mitigate the effects of air pollution exposure during sport and exercise: a narrative review and position statement by the Canadian Academy of Sport and Exercise Medicine and the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology

Andy Hung, Sarah Koch, Valerie Bougault, Cameron Marshall Gee, Romulo Bertuzzi, Malindi Elmore, Paddy McCluskey, Laura Hidalgo, Judith Garcia-Aymerich, Michael Stephen Koehle

Summary: Air pollution is a significant environmental threat to health, particularly in the context of sports and exercise. The impact of pollution and climate change on sport and exercise has led to increased interest in personal-level actions to reduce exposure and risk. Limited evidence suggests strategies such as minimizing exposure, monitoring air pollution conditions, limiting outdoor exercise, using acclimation protocols, wearing N95 masks, and using antioxidant supplementation. This position statement aims to provide recommendations on implementing these personal strategies to prevent and mitigate the adverse effects of air pollution exposure during exercise.

Summary: This study proposes a protocol for simulating real-world gait that takes into account multiple factors and ensures participant safety. The protocol has been found to be safe and feasible, and can measure gait in various pathological conditions. It can be used for the validation of monitoring devices used in real-life situations.
