The Effect of Endurance Training on Pulmonary V˙O₂ Kinetics in Solid Organs Transplanted Recipients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We investigated the effects of single (SL-ET) and double leg (DL-ET) high-intensity interval training on O₂ deficit (O₂Def) and mean response time (MRT) during square-wave moderate-intensity exercise (DL-MOD), and on the amplitude of V˙O_2p slow component (SC_amp), during heavy intensity exercise (DL-HVY), on 33 patients (heart transplant = 13, kidney transplanted = 11 and liver transplanted = 9).

Methods

Patients performed DL incremental step exercise to exhaustion, two DL-MOD tests, and a DL-HVY trial before and after 24 sessions of SL-ET (n = 17) or DL-ET (n = 16).

Results

After SL-ET, O₂Def, MRT and SC_amp decreased by 16.4% ± 13.7 (p = 0.008), by 15.6% ± 13.7 (p
