Summary: This study investigated whether walking with blood flow restriction (BFR) can increase cardio-respiratory demands and serve as an alternative to jogging. The results showed that moderate-intensity BFR walking induced the highest cardio-respiratory and perceptual responses compared to other walking sessions. However, jogging elicited higher cardio-respiratory measures than moderate-intensity BFR walking, except for systolic blood pressure. Perceptual measures were higher during moderate-intensity BFR walking compared to jogging. Overall, BFR walking does not seem to provide an equivalent exercise modality for unrestricted jogging in physically active adults.

Summary: This study compared different models of the heart rate-oxygen uptake relationship in ergometer cycling, level treadmill walking, and running. The results showed that the heart rate method has high interchangeability in these exercise modalities. Additionally, walking resulted in slightly higher oxygen uptake compared to cycling.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the factors that explain the differences between walking and jogging experiences in natural and built environments. The results showed that jogging may induce stronger feelings of fatigue in participants, while emotions and attention were not significantly influenced by exercise frequency, crowding, thermal comfort, and air pollution.

Summary: This study investigated the deflection of the heart rate performance curve in maximal graded treadmill tests and found that older subjects and those with lower performance levels were more likely to show non-regular linear or inverse curves, which should be considered in exercise prescription.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate heart rate changes in dogs during treadmill exercise and compare three collection techniques. The results showed an increase in heart rate during exercise but not significantly reflected post-exercise, with moderate to strong correlations among monitoring options at different timepoints.

Summary: The study compared exercise intensity between WB-EMS-superimposed and conventional walking/Nordic walking. Results showed that WB-EMS influences exercise intensity parameters, but the impact on exercise intensity and clinical relevance remains uncertain due to marginal differences in outcome variables.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of a 24-week walking-exercise programme with different cadences on cardiorespiratory fitness and associated biomarkers in sedentary middle-aged females. The results showed significant improvements in health-related outcomes, but only HDL-C and VO(2)max remained robust after a 12-week retention period, emphasizing the importance of persistent behavioural change for maintaining the health benefits of physical exercise.

Summary: Patients with HFpEF have lower peak oxygen consumption and heart rate compared to senior controls, but there were no significant differences in peak heart rate response during static handgrip exercise and metaboreceptor function between the two groups. The key reflex autonomic pathways regulating exercise heart rate responsiveness are intact in HFpEF despite lower peak exercise heart rates.

Summary: This study analyzed the effects of exercise programs on the autonomic modulation, measured by HRV, of patients with cancer and its survivors. The results showed that exercise can improve both time-domain and frequency-domain HRV measures, indicating positive effects on autonomic modulation in patients.

Summary: Accurate fiducial point detection in photoplethysmogram signal is crucial for reliable PRV analysis, with technical factors being more important than physiological factors in the differences between PRV and HRV. Standardization of PPG acquisition and reference point detection is necessary for comparable studies and correct measurement.
