Regular moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (PA) and increased levels of
cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) or aerobic capacity are widely promoted as cardioprotective …

Despite a high prevalence of sudden cardiac death throughout the world, the mechanisms
that lead to ventricular arrhythmias are not fully understood. Over the last 20 years, a …

The use of short-term (1–5 days) treadmill running is becoming increasingly common as a
model to study physiological adaptations following the exercise. Although the beneficial …

Importance Exercise reduces the risk of cardiovascular events, including through an
underrecognized, clinically useful form of acute cardioprotection accessible after a single …

Exercise promotes cardioprotection in both humans and animals not only by reducing risk
factors associated with cardiovascular disease but by reducing myocardial infarction and …

The prescription of exercise for individuals with and without cardiovascular disease (CVD)
should be scientifically-based yet adapted to the patient. This scientific statement reviews …

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is potentiated by risk factors including physical inactivity and
remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Although regular physical activity does …

Diseases of the heart (eg myocardial ischaemia reperfusion injury) remain the major cause
of death in the industrialized world. Therefore, developing a pragmatic countermeasure to …

Purpose Three to five consecutive days of endurance exercise can protect the heart against
an ischemia-reperfusion (IR) insult. However, the mechanisms responsible for this exercise …

The ability of exercise to protect the heart against ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is well
known in both human epidemiological studies and experimental animal models. In this …
