Long Term Effects of Young Patients with Congenital Heart Disease (Journal-5mins)
Citation: Ferrero P, Piazza I, Poggioli G, Chessa M, Lorenzelli F. Long-term effects of physical training on cardiopulmonary exercise parameters in young patients with congenital heart diseases. Cardiology in the Young. 2024;34(4):831-837. doi:10.1017/S1047951123003621
Abstract: This study examines cardiopulmonary exercise measures in young adults with congenital heart disease (CHD) who participate in a physical training program, and tracks changes in these changes over time. Additionally, it compares the exercise metabolism of people with CHD engaged in regular training to that of a matched control group. Notably, the ventilatory equivalent for CO₂ did not show a significant difference between those who exercise and others.

Supplement Use by British Soldiers in Training (Journal - 10mins)
Citation: Casey A, Hughes J, Izard RM, Greeves JP. Supplement use by UK-based British Army soldiers in training. British Journal of Nutrition. 2014;112(7):1175-1184. doi:10.1017/S0007114514001597
Abstract: This study assessed supplement use among UK-based British Army soldiers under training and staff. Findings show that daily nutritional supplements can offset about two-thirds of energy deficit during eight weeks of intense training, help maintain body and lean mass, support immune function, and reduce physical declines. The main reasons for taking supplements were recovery, performance enhancement, preparation for training or activity, and dietary supplementation.
