The relationship of 6-min walk to V[O.sub.2speak] and VT in older heart failure patients
Article Abstract:
Study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between 6-min walk test to peak oxygen consumption and ventilatory threshold in older heart failure patients to validate the equation by Cahalin and co-workers, and to develop a new equation to improve the prediction of V[O.sub.2speak] from 6-MWT. The results indicate that 6-MWT does not accurately predict functional capacity in older heart failure (HF) patients, and questions the validity of using this test to determine functional capacity in older HF patients.

ACSM: Biomechanics of movement and performance
Article Abstract:
The contribution done by ACSM, as an organization and its principal journal, Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise (MSSE) on biomechanics of movement and performance, included the use of both animal and human models to study the kinematics, kinetics and neural control of movement. The biomechanists interested in movement and performance used the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) meetings to share their results about movement mechanics.

Exercise responses of elderly patients with diastolic versus systolic heart failure
Article Abstract:
Research shows that submaximal and peak exercise capacity are substantially altered in elderly heart failure patients. However, they are similar in diastolic- and systolic dysfunction (DD and SD) patients but highly reduced compared to age-matched healthy volunteers. Data indicate that both DD and SD may possess similar pathophysiological mechanisms of exercise intolerance.
