Comparison between the Airgo™ Device and a Metabolic Cart during Rest and Exercise.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to compare the accuracy of Airgo™, a non-invasive wearable device that records breath, with respect to a gold standard. In 21 healthy subjects (10 males, 11 females), four parameters were recorded for four min at rest and in different positions simultaneously by Airgo™ and SensorMedics 2900 metabolic cart. Then, a cardio-pulmonary exercise test was performed using the Erg 800S cycle ergometer in order to test Airgo™'s accuracy during physical effort. The results reveal that the relative error median percentage of respiratory rate was of 0% for all positions at rest and for different exercise intensities, with interquartile ranges between 3.5 (standing position) and 22.4 (low-intensity exercise) breaths per minute. During exercise, normalized amplitude and ventilation relative error medians highlighted the presence of an error proportional to the volume to be estimated. For increasing intensity levels of exercise, Airgo™'s estimate tended to underestimate the values of the gold standard instrument. In conclusion, the Airgo™ device provides good accuracy and precision in the estimate of respiratory rate (especially at rest), an acceptable estimate of tidal volume and minute ventilation at rest and an underestimation for increasing volumes.

Project description:Background/objectivesExercise is a front-line countermeasure used to maintain astronaut health during long-duration spaceflight; however, reductions in metabolic health still occur. Accordingly, we evaluated serial changes in metabolic parameters in a spaceflight analog and evaluated the efficacy of exercise with or without the addition of low-dose testosterone treatment on mitigating adverse metabolic changes.Subjects/methodsHealthy young (<55 years) men were randomly assigned to one of three groups during 70-days of strict, diet controlled, 6° head-down bed rest: Control (CON, n=9), exercise plus testosterone countermeasure (TEX, n=8), or exercise countermeasure plus placebo (PEX, n=9). Basal metabolic rate (BMR), glucose tolerance, and insulin sensitivity were measured before, during, and after bed rest. Exercise energy expenditure and excess post-exercise oxygen consumption were measured in TEX and PEX subjects during bed rest.ResultsLeptin decreased during bed rest (Pre to BR+0 changed from 6.9 ± 5.1, 5.8 ± 4.2, and 4.7 ± 4.1 to 7.9 ±3.6, 6.5 ± 4.6, and 4.1 ±3.0 ug• L-1 for CON, PEX, and TEX respectively). Bed rest induced a decrease in BMR (Pre to BR57 changed from 1655 ± 212, 1629 ± 108, and 1706 ± 146 to 1476 ± 166, 1668 ± 142, and 1603 ± 132 kcal • day-1 ± 95%CI for CON, PEX, and TEX respectively). Similarly, bed rest negatively affected glucose metabolism assessed by 2hr OGTT glucose (Pre to BR66 changed from 6.29 ± 0.72, 5.13 ± 0.72, and 5.87 ± 0.73 to 6.62 ± 0.72, 5.83 ± 0.72, and 7.08 ± 0.72 mmol • L-1 ± 95%CI). Reambulation following bed rest positively affected glucose tolerance in CON (2hr OGTT glucose at BR+12: 5.3 ± 0.72, 6.42 ± 0.73, and 6.04 ± 0.73 mmol • L-1 ± 95%CI). Testosterone protected against bed rest induced insulin resistance (HOMA-IR from Pre to BR+66 changed from 1.74 ± 0.54, 1.18 ± 0.55, and 1.45 ± 0.56 to 2.24 ± 0.56, 1.47 ± 0.54, and 1.07 ± 0.54).ConclusionThis study confirmed that inactivity during 70 days of head-down bed rest adversely affects metabolic health. The daily exercise countermeasures were beneficial but not completely protective of bed rest induced decrements in metabolic health. Supplementary countermeasures such as testosterone may provide additional benefits not provided by exercise alone.
