Excessive heart rate increase during mild mental stress in preparation for exercise predicts sudden death in the general population.

26 Apr 2009 AIMS: The aim of this study involves the early identification, among apparently healthy individuals, of those at high risk for sudden cardiac death. We tested the hypothesis that individuals who respond to mild mental stress in preparation for ... Read more...

Influence of feedback and prior experience on pacing during a 4-km cycle time trial.

30 Jan 2009 PURPOSE: To determine the importance of distance knowledge, distance feedback, and prior experience on the setting of a pacing strategy. METHODS: Eighteen well-trained male cyclists were randomly assigned to a control (CON) group or an experimental ... Read more...

False heart rate feedback and the perception of heart symptoms in patients with congenital heart disease and anxiety.

4 Jan 2009 BACKGROUND: Little is known about the mechanisms explaining an increased perception of heart symptoms in congenital heart disease (ConHD). In the present study, it was suggested that a combination of high trait anxiety and disease history increases ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Exercise Test'

Definition: Controlled physical activity, more strenuous than at rest, which is performed in order to allow assessment of physiological functions, particularly cardiovascular and pulmonary, but also aerobic capacity. Maximal (most intense) exercise is usually required but submaximal exercise is also used. The intensity of exercise is often graded, using criteria such as rate of work done, oxygen consumption, and heart rate.
