Serial exercise testing in children, adolescents and young adults with Senning repair for transposition of the great arteries

Rosalien Buys; Luc Vanhees (Lector); Tony Reybroeck; Marc Gewillig; Werner Budts

Background: Patients with Senning repair for complete transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA) show an impaired exercise tolerance. Our aim was to investigate changes in exercise capacity in children, adolescents and adults with Senning operation. Methods: Peak oxygen uptake (peak VO2), oxygen pulse …

Predictors of mid-term event-free survival in adults with corrected tetralogy of Fallot

Luc Vanhees (Lector); Werner Budts; Rosalien Buys; Pieter De Meester

Objectives Patients who underwent corrective surgery for tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) have increased long-term risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Yet, limited information is available on how to evaluate the risk in this population. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic …

Physical fitness, rather than self-reported physical activities, is more strongly associated with low back pain: evidence from a working population

Filip Staes; Luc Vanhees (Lector); Susan Picavet; Henri Kiers (Lid Lectoraat); Hans Heneweer (Lid Lectoraat)

Introduction Physical activity is suggested to be important for low back pain (LBP) but a major problem is the limited validity of the measurement of physical activities, which is usually based on questionnaires. Physical fitness can be viewed as a more objective measurement and our question was how …

Cardiovascular risk profile: Cross-sectional analysis of motivational determinants, physical fitness and physical activity

Gerjo Kok; Barbara Sassen (Lid Lectoraat); Henri Kiers (Lid Lectoraat); Herman Schaalma; Luc Vanhees (Lector)

Background: Cardiovascular risk factors are associated with physical fitness and, to a lesser extent, physical activity. Lifestyle interventions directed at enhancing physical fitness in order to decrease the risk of cardiovascular diseases should be extended. To enable the development of effective lifestyle …

Physical fitness matters more than physical activity in controlling cardiovascular disease risk factors

Barbara Sassen; Veronique Cornelissen; Henri Kiers; Harriët Wittink; Gerjo Kok; Luc Vanhees

Physical activity (PA) and physical fitness (PF) are inversely associated with the clustering of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors (RF) associated with the metabolic syndrome (MS). However, the role of individual components of PA, that is, intensity, duration and volume, and the inter-relationship …
