Potential Application of Whole Body Vibration Exercise For Improving The Clinical Conditions of COVID-19 Infected Individuals: A Narrative Review From the World Association of Vibration Exercise Experts (WAVex) Panel.

ABSTRACT: COVID-19 is a highly infectious respiratory disease which leads to several clinical conditions related to the dysfunction of the respiratory system along with other physical and psychological complaints. Severely affected patients are referred to intensive care units (ICUs), limiting their possibilities for physical exercise. Whole body vibration (WBV) exercise is a non-invasive, physical therapy, that has been suggested as part of the procedures involved with pulmonary rehabilitation, even in ICU settings. Therefore, in the current review, the World Association of Vibration Exercise Experts (WAVEX) reviewed the potential of WBV exercise as a useful and safe intervention for the management of infected individuals with COVID-19 by mitigating the inactivity-related declines in physical condition and reducing the time in ICU. Recommendations regarding the reduction of fatigue and the risk of dyspnea, the improvement of the inflammatory and redox status favoring cellular homeostasis and the overall improvement in the quality of life are provided. Finally, practical applications for the use of this paradigm leading to a better prognosis in bed bound and ICU-bound subjects is proposed.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The management of schizophrenia is evolving towards a more comprehensive model based on functional recovery. The concept of functional recovery goes beyond clinical remission and encompasses multiple aspects of the patient's life, making it difficult to settle on a definition and to develop reliable assessment criteria. In this consensus process based on a panel of experts in schizophrenia, we aimed to provide useful insights on functional recovery and its involvement in clinical practice and clinical research. METHODS:After a literature review of functional recovery in schizophrenia, a scientific committee of 8 members prepared a 75-item questionnaire, including 6 sections: (I) the concept of functional recovery (9 items), (II) assessment of functional recovery (23 items), (III) factors influencing functional recovery (16 items), (IV) psychosocial interventions and functional recovery (8 items), (V) pharmacological treatment and functional recovery (14 items), and (VI) the perspective of patients and their relatives on functional recovery (5 items). The questionnaire was sent to a panel of 53 experts, who rated each item on a 9-point Likert scale. Consensus was achieved in a 2-round Delphi dynamics, using the median (interquartile range) scores to consider consensus in either agreement (scores 7-9) or disagreement (scores 1-3). Items not achieving consensus in the first round were sent back to the experts for a second consideration. RESULTS:After the two recursive rounds, consensus was achieved in 64 items (85.3%): 61 items (81.3%) in agreement and 3 (4.0%) in disagreement, all of them from section II (assessment of functional recovery). Items not reaching consensus were related to the concepts of functional recovery (1 item, 1.3%), functional assessment (5 items, 6.7%), factors influencing functional recovery (3 items, 4.0%), and psychosocial interventions (2 items, 5.6%). CONCLUSIONS:Despite the lack of a well-defined concept of functional recovery, we identified a trend towards a common archetype of the definition and factors associated with functional recovery, as well as its applicability in clinical practice and clinical research.

Project description:Background:Exercise training is important in the management of adults with chronic pulmonary conditions. However, achieving high intensity exercise may be challenging for this clinical population. There has been clinical interest in applying interval-based training as a strategy to optimise the load that can be tolerated during exercise training. Evidence for such an approach is limited in most chronic pulmonary populations. Main body:In this narrative review, we provide an appraisal of studies investigating whole-body high intensity interval training (HIIT) in adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This is the first review to also include studies investigating HIIT in people with conditions other than COPD. Studies undertaken in adults with a chronic pulmonary condition were reviewed when participants were randomised to receive; (i) HIIT or no exercise or, (ii) HIIT or moderate intensity continuous exercise. Data were extracted on peak rate of oxygen uptake (VO2peak; 'cardiorespiratory fitness') and maximal work rate (Wmax; 'exercise capacity').In people with COPD, two studies demonstrated between-group differences favouring HIIT compared with no exercise. There appears to be no advantage for HIIT compared to continuous exercise on these outcomes. In people with cystic fibrosis (CF), no studies have compared HIIT to no exercise and the two studies that compared HIIT to continuous exercise reported similar benefits. In people prior to resection for non-small cell lung cancer, one study demonstrated a between-group difference in favour of HIIT compared with no exercise on VO2peak. In people with asthma, one study demonstrated a between-group difference in favour of HIIT compared with no exercise on VO2peak and one that compared HIIT to continuous exercise reported similar benefits. No studies were identified non-CF bronchiectasis or interstitial lung diseases. Conclusions:High intensity interval training increases cardiorespiratory fitness and exercise capacity when compared with no exercise and produces a similar magnitude of change as continuous exercise in people with COPD. There is a paucity of studies exploring the effects of HIIT in other chronic pulmonary conditions.

Project description:Aims/hypothesisExercise is recommended for the treatment and prevention of type 2 diabetes. However, the most effective time of day to achieve beneficial effects on health remains unknown. We aimed to determine whether exercise training at two distinct times of day would have differing effects on 24 h blood glucose levels in men with type 2 diabetes.MethodsEleven men with type 2 diabetes underwent a randomised crossover trial. Inclusion criteria were 45-68 years of age and BMI between 23 and 33 kg/m2. Exclusion criteria were insulin treatment and presence of another systemic illness. Researchers were not blinded to the group assignment. The trial involved 2 weeks of either morning or afternoon high-intensity interval training (HIIT) (three sessions/week), followed by a 2 week wash-out period and a subsequent period of the opposite training regimen. Continuous glucose monitor (CGM)-based data were obtained.ResultsMorning HIIT increased CGM-based glucose concentration (6.9 ± 0.4 mmol/l; mean ± SEM for the exercise days during week 1) compared with either the pre-training period (6.4 ± 0.3 mmol/l) or afternoon HIIT (6.2 ± 0.3 mmol/l for the exercise days during week 1). Conversely, afternoon HIIT reduced the CGM-based glucose concentration compared with either the pre-training period or morning HIIT. Afternoon HIIT was associated with elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH; 1.9 ± 0.2 mU/l) and reduced T4 (15.8 ± 0.7 pmol/l) concentrations compared with pre-training (1.4 ± 0.2 mU/l for TSH; 16.8 ± 0.6 pmol/l for T4). TSH was also elevated after morning HIIT (1.7 ± 0.2 mU/l), whereas T4 concentrations were unaltered.Conclusions/interpretationAfternoon HIIT was more efficacious than morning HIIT at improving blood glucose in men with type 2 diabetes. Strikingly, morning HIIT had an acute, deleterious effect, increasing blood glucose. However, studies of longer training regimens are warranted to establish the persistence of this adverse effect. Our data highlight the importance of optimising the timing of exercise when prescribing it as treatment for type 2 diabetes.
