Nitrite and insulin lower the oxygen cost of ATP synthesis in skeletal muscle cells by pleiotropic stimulation of glycolysis
Dietary nitrate lowers the oxygen cost of submaximal exercise, but precise mechanistic insight into how this occurs is lacking. Research suggests that dietary nitrate may render oxidative ATP synthesis more efficient, but evidence is inconclusive at present. This thesis aimed to establish how …

Effect of acute dietary nitrate consumption on submaximal oxygen consumption and oxidative stress in hypoxia
Reduced partial pressure of oxygen impairs exercise performance at altitude. Acute nitrate supplementation, at sea level may reduce oxygen cost during submaximal exercise in hypoxia. Therefore, we investigated the metabolic response during exercise at altitude following acute nitrate consumption. …

Improving the assessment of exercise capacity and cardiorespiratory fitness in patients attending exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation
… with patients’ initial performance, and oxygen cost in functional capacity tests. Together, this data may improve the application, interpretation and patient understanding of these test results. One aim of CR is to improve patients’ functional capacity; we provide a standard value for …

Towards an improved understanding of the biomechanical implications and risk of injury of barefoot running
… to stabilize the hip and centre of mass. Lastly, oxygen cost of transport was found to improve as a result of the barefoot training programme in the male runners and this improvement was found to be associated with a decrease in ground contact time and increase in stride frequency, but no a change …

Physical Activity and Fitness in Children with Developmental Disorder
… In this investigation CRF was examined using the oxygen cost of work (VO2) during an incremental test on a cycle ergometer. Results: The literature review showed that fitness parameters, including CRF and physical activity levels, were consistently reduced in children with pDCD. Chapter 3 …

Characterisation of cardiorespiratory responses to electrically stimulated cycle training in paraplegia
… gas exchange thresholds, is also unknown. The oxygen cost (O2 cost) of this type of exercise is about 3.5 times higher than that of volitional cycling, but the source of this inefficiency, and of the variation between subjects, has not yet been investigated. The electrical cost of FES cycling, …

… ability to cope with everyday tasks (in the oxygen cost scale (OCS). The former evaluated themselves lower in this scale. Correspondingly, the MMPI showed that in COPD patients with more severe COPD the degree of Hypochondriasis, Depression and Hysteria scales correlated positively with the …
