The importance of collaboration between medical and exercise professionals in addressing patient physical inactivity
Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, Ahead of Print. Physical activity has declined further during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Physicians are at the front lines of proactively educating and promoting physical activity to patients; however, physicians do not feel confident and face numerous barriers in prescribing exercise to patients. Exercise referral schemes, comprising collaborations with qualified exercise professionals, represent a fruitful option for supporting physicians hoping to promote physical activity to more patients. Herein, we provide practical suggestions for establishing and...

Applying suggested new terminology and definitions for human milk feeding in the Alberta Pregnancy Outcomes and Nutrition (APrON) longitudinal pregnancy cohort
Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, Ahead of Print. The complexity of human milk-feeding behaviours may not be captured using simpler definitions of “exclusive” and “non-exclusive” breastfeeding. New definitions have been suggested to describe variation in these behaviours more fully but have not been widely applied. We applied the new definitions to data derived from 3-day human milk-feeding diaries. Participants (n = 1091) recorded the number, beginning/end time, and modes of feeding of infants aged 3 months. Data were used to create six exclusive groups according to feeding mode(s): (1) human milk...

Perceived exertion and dyspnea while cycling during a hypoxic and hyperoxic placebo
Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, Ahead of Print. Rating of perceived exertion (RPE) is used to subjectively quantify the perception of physical activity, breathlessness or dyspnea, and leg discomfort (RPElegs) during exercise. However, it is unknown how dyspnea or RPElegs can be influenced by expectations. Thirty healthy, active participants (19  males, 11 females) completed five, 5-minute submaximal cycling trials at 60% peak work rate. We deceived participants by telling them they were inspiring different hypoxic and hyperoxic gases, when in fact they breathed room air. Cardiorespiratory variables were si...

Higher- and lower-load resistance exercise training induce load-specific local muscle endurance changes in young women: a randomised trial
Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, Ahead of Print. The effect of resistance training with higher- and lower-loads on muscle mass and strength has been extensively studied, while changes in muscle endurance have received less attention. This trial aimed to assess the effect of training load on absolute muscle endurance (AME) and relative muscle endurance (RME). Sixteen untrained women (22.7  ± 3.3 yr: mean ± SD) had one arm and leg randomly assigned to train with higher loads (HL; 80–90% 1RM), and the contralateral limbs trained with lower loads (LL; 30–50% 1RM) thrice weekly to volitional fatigue for ...
