Ítem Análisis de los parámetros de rendimiento del remo de traineras: una revisión sistemática(Federación Española de Asociaciones de Docentes de Educación Física (FEADEF), 2023) Larrinaga García, Beñat; León Guereño, Patxi; Arbillaga Etxarri, Ane; Coca Núñez, AitorObjetivo: recopilar la información científica relacionada con parámetros fisiológicos, biomecánicos, antropométricos y de entrenamiento del deporte de traineras, comparar las investigaciones científicas que hay entre géneros y clasificar por temáticas la información. Métodos: Estudio de tipo revisión sistemática, en el cual se realizó una búsqueda sistemática en seis bases de datos (PudMed Central, PudMed, Web of Science, Scopus, DialnetPlus y Google Scholar). Después de analizar los estudios logrados con la ecuación de búsqueda, fue preciso considerar su utilidad y relevancia con respecto a la revisión. Resultados: tras el cribado y la evaluación metodológica correspondiente, 21 estudios cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión. Los resultados, muestran los artículos dirigidos a diferentes temáticas como fisiología, biomecánica, parámetros antropológicos y otras temáticas relacionadas con el rendimiento. El análisis de los participantes de los estudios muestra que dos de los estudios han tenido en cuenta en la participación deportistas femeninas. Conclusión: La literatura existente muestra el gran potencial de esta actividad para mejorar parámetros de capacidad condicionales de rendimiento. A su vez, la comparación de la muestra entre géneros afirma la escasa investigación que hay sobre el remo de traineras femenino y se detecta una carencia de los estudios de campo y situaciones de competiciónÍtem Análisis del efecto de la pretemporada en los parámetros morfológicos y fisiológicos en remo tradicional femenino. Traineras(Consejo General de Colegios Oficiales de Licenciados en Educación Física y en Ciencias de la Actividad Física y del Deporte de España, 2024) Larrinaga García, Beñat; Santisteban Leguina, Aitor; Castañeda Babarro, Arkaitz; Coca Núñez, Aitor; Arbillaga Etxarri, AneEste estudio descriptivo tiene como objetivo dual el establecer valores específicos inéditos en la modalidad de traineras y, por otro lado, examinar los cambios morfológicos y fisiológicos durante la pretemporada en remeras mediante una valoración pre-post. Participaron 22 remeras de remo tradicional con una edad de 24,69 ± 4,26 años y una experiencia de 5,73 ± 4,55, sometiéndose a pruebas de composición corporal y de ergometría en dos momentos, de la pretemporada, la evaluación denominada “pre” se realizó a mediados de enero, durante el periodo preparatorio de la pretemporada y tras un entrenamiento controlado de 19 semanas se realizó la medición denomina “post” justo antes del inicio del periodo competitivo. Tras la valoración pre-post, se mostró que el entrenamiento físico aplicado durante la pretemporada mediante el programa combinado de resistencia aeróbica y entrenamiento de la fuerza es efectivo para obtener cambios significativos (p < 0,05) pen la composición corporal con bajada de la masa grasa de 14,40 ± 4,49 a 13,40 ± 3,41 y aumentando el porcentaje de masa muscular de 42,90% a 43,70%. A su vez, las mejoras en parámetros fisiológicos reflejaron un aumento en la potencia máxima de 341W a 368W, Potencia aeróbica máxima de 170W a 186 W así como en su valor relativo y la mejora significativa de los umbrales VT1, VT2 y Dmax con una mejora de 10W, 10W y 7W respectivamente, sin llegar a mejorar el VO2máx. Considerando los valores analizados, al realizar las evaluaciones pre-post se proporciona información valiosa para atletas, entrenadores y científicos del deporteÍtem Aportaciones de la fisioterapia respiratoria como terapia adyuvante en pacientes con COVID-19 ingresados en UCI: una oportunidad de desarrollo(Academia de Ciencias Medicas de Bilbao, 2020-06) Franco Arizaga, Aitor Santi; Arbillaga Etxarri, Ane; Lista Paz, Ana; Martínez Ruiz, AlbertoÍtem El aprendizaje basado en la simulación (ABS) como metodología de enseñanza-aprendizaje(Editorial Síntesis, 2025) Araolaza Arrieta, Maialen; Arbillaga Etxarri, Ane ; Lamarain Altuna, Maider ; Lozano Real, GarbiñeÍtem Are baseline clinical tests associated with the relative effectiveness of manual therapy and neck-specific exercise for people with chronic non-specific neck pain?: secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial(Elsevier Ltd, 2025-09-03) Villanueva Ruiz, Iker; Falla, Deborah; Saez, Marc; Araolaza Arrieta, Maialen; Azkue Barrenetxea, Jon Jatsu; Arbillaga Etxarri, Ane; Lersundi Artamendi, Ana; Lascurain-Aguirrebeña, IonObjective: To evaluate whether baseline clinical tests are associated with the relative effectiveness of manual therapy versus neck-specific exercise for people with chronic non-specific neck pain (NSNP). Design: Pre-planned secondary analysis of a single-blind, parallel, randomized clinical trial with two treatment arms, adhering to CONSORT guidelines. Methods: 65 participants with NSNP were randomly allocated with a 1:1 allocation ratio to a programme of either manual therapy or neck-specific exercise. A battery of clinical tests was performed pre-treatment. The manual therapy group had four 30-min sessions, while the exercise group followed a four-week program with physiotherapist-led sessions and daily home exercises. Outcomes measured at baseline, two weeks, four weeks, and 12 weeks post-treatment included pain intensity, disability, patient-perceived improvement, quality of life, and kinesiophobia. Patients were categorized into either responders or non-responders according to pain intensity, disability and patient-perceived improvement. Results: Patients with NSNP that reported bilateral pain, no blocking sensation and greater pain at end of range, showed side flexion or rotation range of movement asymmetry, and whose symptoms could be reproduced during the specific neck movements, were more likely to be classified as responders if they received manual therapy when compared to neck-specific exercise. Adjusted odds ratios (Prob >0.95) varied considerably (range 7.01xe-14 to 0.32) depending on clinical tests and the follow up time point. Conclusion: A battery of clinical tests showed significant associations with the relative effectiveness of manual therapy versus neck-specific exercise in patients with NSNP.Ítem Bularreko minbizi diagnostikoaren ostean, aukera kirurgikoen aurrean erabakiak hartzeko prozesuaren deskribapena(Udako Euskal Unibertsitatea, UEU = Universidad Vasca de Verano, 2025-05-30) Lozano Real, Garbiñe; Ollé Gonzalez, Júlia; Araolaza Arrieta, Maialen; Lamarain Altuna, Maider; Ondarra Zubeldia, Olalla; Canet Vélez, Olga; Arbillaga Etxarri, AneBularreko minbiziaren tratamendu kirurgikoen aurrean erabakitze prozesua deskribatzea da lan honen helburu nagusia.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, about 10% of the world’s population were living in urban areas, but this rate expanded to about 54% in 2015, and is predicted to reach 60% in 2030 and 66% by 2050 (World Health Organization & UN-Habitat, 2016).Ítem Determinants of study completion and response to a 12-month behavioral physical activity intervention in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a cohort study(Public Library of Science, 2019-05-20) Koreny, Maria; Demeyer, Heleen; Arbillaga Etxarri, Ane; Gimeno Santos, Elena; Barberán García, Anael; Benet, Marta; Balcells, Eva; Borrell, Eulàlia; Marín Tapia, Alicia; Rodríguez Chiaradía, Diego A.; Vall Casas, Pere; Vilaró, Jordi; Rodríguez Roisin, Robert; García Aymerich, JudithObjectives Physical activity is key to improve the prognosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). To help to tailor future interventions we aimed to identify the baseline characteristics of COPD patients which predict 12-month completion and response to a behavioral physical activity intervention. Methods This is a 12-month cohort study of the intervention arm of the Urban Training randomized controlled trial (NCT01897298), an intervention proven to be efficacious to increase physical activity. We considered baseline sociodemographic, interpersonal, environmental, clinical and psychological characteristics as potential determinants of completion and response. We defined completion as attending the 12-month study visit. Among completers, we defined response as increasing physical activity ≥1100 steps/day from baseline to 12 months, measured by accelerometer. We estimated the factors independently for completion and response using multivariable logistic regression models. Results Of a total of 202 patients (m (SD) 69 (9) years, 84% male), 132 (65%) completed the study. Among those, 37 (28%) qualified as responders. Higher numbers of baseline steps/day (OR [95% CI] 1.11 [1.02-1.21] per increase of 1000 steps, p<0.05) and living with a partner (2.77 [1.41-5.48], p<0.01) were related to a higher probability of completion while more neighborhood vulnerability (0.70 [0.57-0.86] per increase of 0.1 units in urban vulnerability index, p<0.01) was related to a lower probability. Among the completers, working (3.14 [1.05-9.33], p<0.05) and having an endocrino-metabolic disease (4.36 [1.49-12.80], p<0.01) were related to a higher probability of response while unwillingness to follow the intervention (0.21 [0.05-0.98], p<0.05) was related to a lower probability. Conclusions This study found that 12-month completion of a behavioral physical activity intervention was generally determined by previous physical activity habits as well as interpersonal and environmental physical activity facilitators while response was related to diverse factors thought to modify the individual motivation to change to an active lifestyle.Ítem Diferencias antropométricas y potencia aeróbica máxima entre hombres y mujeres en el remo de traineras(Federación Española de Medicina del Deporte, 2023) Larrinaga García, Beñat; Río de Frutos, Xabier; Coca Núñez, Aitor; Rodríguez Alonso, Manuel; Arbillaga Etxarri, AneEn el remo de traineras se han observado diferencias antropométricas, mecánicas y de rendimiento entre remeros de un mismo club que competían en distintas categorías. La potencia aeróbica máxima se ha definido como uno de los mejores predictores del rendimiento en el remo. El objetivo fue observar diferencias entre de remeros y remeras en datos antropométricos, fisiológicos y de potencia aeróbica. Se evaluó el peso (P), la talla (T), el porcentaje graso (G), el sumatorio de siete pliegues (S7) y los vatios (W) absolutos y relativos (W/kg) de 55 sujetos. De los 55 sujetos, 38 fueron hombres (26,95 ±7,0 años) y 17 mujeres (24,82 años ±6,8). Para calcular el tamaño del efecto como diferencia de medias estandarizadas se utilizó la d de Cohen. En los resultados, se obtuvieron medias muestrales en las variables analizadas en los diferentes sexos (M: mujeres y H: hombres). Para H: [P: 77,25 (9,41) – T: 1,80 (0,07) – G: 12,77 (3,04) – S7: 72,23 (28,20) – W: 273,6 (52,88) – W/kg: 3,57 (0,67)] y para M: [P:61,79 (6,85 - T: 1,67 (0,07) – G: 14,44 (2,47)- S7: 103,83 (28,64) – W: 171,35 (29,19) – W/kg: 2,78 (0,43)]. Finalmente los resultados fueron los siguientes: P: 1,77 – T: 1,87 – G: 0,57 – S7: 1,11 – W: 2,17 – W/kg: 1,28. Mostrando diferencias significativas y un tamaño del efecto grande entre ambos sexos en todas las variables analizadas, exceptuando la variable del porcentaje graso.Ítem Documento de consenso de la Sociedad Española de Neumología y Cirugía Torácica (SEPAR) para el seguimiento clínico post-COVID-19(Elsevier Espana S.L.U, 2020) Sibila, Oriol; Molina Molina, María; Valenzuela, Claudia; Ríos Cortés, Antonio Tomás; Arbillaga Etxarri, Ane; Torralba García, Yolanda; Díaz Pérez, David; Landete, Pedro; Mediano, Olga; Tomás López, Laura; Rodríguez Pascual, Luis; Jara Palomares, Luis; López Reyes, Raquel; Rosa Carrillo, David de laLa infección por SARS-CoV-2 puede favorecer el desarrollo de diversas secuelas respiratorias, sobre todo en los pacientes que han sufrido una neumonía grave por COVID-19. Dado el elevado número de pacientes que sufrieron esta infección en un corto periodo de tiempo, se están llevando a cabo numerosas visitas de control post-COVID-19 sin que se haya establecido un protocolo de seguimiento clínico que aconseje sobre las pruebas complementarias a realizar y la frecuencia de las mismas. Este documento de consenso realizado por profesionales de distintas áreas de la Sociedad Española de Neumología y Cirugía Torácica (SEPAR), pretende ayudar al profesional clínico a la identificación de las posibles complicaciones respiratorias que pueden aparecen durante los meses posteriores al cuadro agudo de la enfermedad y a protocolizar su seguimiento y las pruebas complementarias a realizar. Se sugieren las exploraciones e intervenciones a realizar en diversos momentos de la evolución post-COVID-19, con unos objetivos concretos. Por un lado, garantizar que los pacientes reciban un seguimiento clínico oportuno, con un cronograma preestablecido teniendo en cuenta la gravedad de la enfermedad y la probabilidad de secuelas a largo plazo; por otro lado, evitar sobrecargas del sistema sanitario llevando a cabo exploraciones y/o consultas en muchos casos innecesarias; por último, definir criterios para derivar a aquellos pacientes con determinadas secuelas específicas establecidas (enfermedad pulmonar intersticial, enfermedad vascular pulmonar o bronquiectasias) a las unidades monográficas correspondientes.Ítem Eating disorder symptoms and weight pressure in female rowers: associations between self-concept, psychological well-being and body composition(BioMed Central Ltd, 2024-06-14) Larrinaga García, Beñat; Borrajo, Erika; Muñoz Pérez, Iker; Urquijo Cela, Itziar; García Rodríguez, Ana; Arbillaga Etxarri, AneBackground: Female rowers may be at risk of eating disorders and high weight pressure. Aim: The purpose of the study was to investigate the prevalence of disordered eating symptoms and weight-related pressure and the associations with self-concept, psychological well-being, socio-demographic data, experience, performance level and body composition in female fixed-bench rowers. Methods: Female rowers (n = 208; age ranged mean ± SD 23.6 ± 6.5 years) completed the SCOFF scale, Weight-Pressures in Sport-Females (WPS-F), Physical Self-Concept Questionnaire and the Ryff scales of psychological well-being and provided information on their experience and level of competition. In a subgroup of 115 athletes, body composition was assessed using bioimpedance. Results: It was found that 42.3% of the athletes scored ≥ 2 on SCOFF and mean ± SD value of WPS-F score was 3.65 ± 0.82. Stepwise regression analysis revealed that self-concept of strength and pressure from teammates and the uniform were associated with higher ED symptoms, whereas better psychological well-being in terms of autonomy, self-concept of attractiveness, and age were protective factors for ED symptoms. BMI, athletes’ physical condition, strength, and experience were associated with more weight-related pressure and better self-concept of attractiveness and physical well-being of autonomy were significantly associated with less pressure. In body composition analysis, higher extra cellular water, self-acceptance, and physical condition were associated with more weight-related pressure in female rowers, being attractiveness and the environmental mastery protective elements. Conclusions: The prevalence of ED symptomatology and weight-related pressure are high in female fixed bench rowing. The psychological factors of well-being and self-concept, team environment, body image concerns and body composition analysis should be considered to promote healthy eating behaviours in female rowersÍtem Effectiveness of neural mobilisation for the treatment of nerve-related cervicobrachial pain: a systematic review with subgroup meta-analysis(Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2024-03) Lascurain-Aguirrebeña, Ion; Dominguez, Laura; Villanueva Ruiz, Iker; Ballesteros, Javier; Rueda-Etxeberria, Mikel; Rueda, José Ramón; Casado Zumeta, Xabat; Araolaza Arrieta, Maialen; Arbillaga Etxarri, Ane; Tampin, BrigitteNeural mobilisations (NM) have been advocated for the treatment of nerve-related cervicobrachial pain; however, it is unclear what types of patients with nerve-related cervicobrachial pain (if any) may benefit. Medline, Web of Science, Scopus, PeDro, Cinahl, and Cochrane databases were searched from inception until December 2022. Randomised controlled trials were included if they assessed the effectiveness of NM in nerve-related cervicobrachial pain, and outcome measures were pain intensity and/or disability. Studies were classified according to their inclusion/exclusion criteria as radiculopathy, Wainner cluster, Hall, and Elvey cluster or other. Meta-analyses with subgroup analyses were performed. Risk of bias was assessed using Cochrane Rob2 tool. Twenty-seven studies were included. For pain and disability reduction, NM was found to be more effective than no treatment (pooled pain mean difference [MD] = -2.81, 95% confidence interval [CI] = -3.81 to -1.81; pooled disability standardized mean difference = -1.55, 95% CI = -2.72 to -0.37), increased the effectiveness of standard physiotherapy as an adjuvant when compared with standard physiotherapy alone (pooled pain MD = -1.44, 95% CI = -1.98 to -0.89; pooled disability MD = -11.07, 95% CI = -16.38 to -5.75) but was no more effective than cervical traction (pooled pain MD = -0.33, 95% CI = -1.35 to 0.68; pooled disability MD = -10.09, 95% CI = -21.89 to 1.81). For disability reduction, NM was found to be more effective than exercise (pooled MD = -18.27, 95% CI = -20.29 to -17.44). In most comparisons, there were significant differences in the effectiveness of NM between the subgroups. Neural mobilisations was consistently more effective than all alternative interventions (no treatment, traction, exercise, and standard physiotherapy alone) in 13 studies classified as Wainner cluster.

Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) offers non-pharmacological benefits to reduce hospitalization and mortality, yet its impact on coronary vascular changes remains unclear. We assessed the effects of CR on myocardial perfusion and exercise capacity in patients with stable coronary artery disease and exercise-induced ischemia. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective observational study in individuals with stable coronary artery disease and myocardial ischemia enrolled in a CR program. Inclusion criteria required a minimum of 3 months of supervised CR and cardiac single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging before and after the program. Blinded analysis and interpretation of the SPECT studies was carried out by nuclear cardiologists. The primary outcome was a change in myocardial perfusion via SPECT analysis. Secondary outcomes included changes in exercise capacity, electrocardiographic changes during treadmill stress tests, and evaluation of adverse effects during training. Cinecoronariographies reports were collected for further cardiac status assessment. RESULTS: Of 394 patients, 22 with myocardial ischemia were analyzed (96% males, 61.5 ± 9.5 yr). Number of CR sessions ranged from 42 to 73. Stress-induced ischemia significantly decreased (P = .019), with improvements in exercise capacity, including absolute peak oxygen uptake (mL/min, P = .027), relative oxygen uptake (mL/kg/min, P = .044), maximum metabolic equivalent of task (P = .019), and exercise duration (P < .001). No adverse events occurred. CONCLUSION: After a structured CR program of at least 3 months in patients with stable coronary artery disease and exercise-induced ischemia, there was a notable reduction in stress-induced ischemia and enhancements in exercise capacity, highlighting the safety and efficacy of CR in improving myocardial perfusion and exercise tolerance.Ítem Exacerbations and changes in physical activity and sedentary behaviour in patients with bronchiectasis after 1 year(MDPI, 2021-03-02) Alcaraz Serrano, Victoria; Arbillaga Etxarri, Ane; Oscanoa, Patricia; Fernández Barat, Laia; Bueno, Leticia; Amaro, Rosanel; Gimeno Santos, Elena; Torres, AntoniBackground: Low physical activity and high sedentary behaviour in patients with bron-chiectasis are associated with hospitalisation over one year. However, the factors associated with longitudinal changes in physical activity and sedentary behaviour have not been explored. We aimed to identify clinical and sociodemographic characteristics related to a change in physical activity and sedentary behaviour in patients with bronchiectasis after one year. Methods: This was a prospective observational study during which physical activity measurements were recorded using a SenseWear Armband for one week at baseline and at one year. At each assessment point, patients were classified as active or inactive (measured as steps per day) and as sedentary or not sedentary (measured as sedentary time). Results: 53 patients with bronchiectasis were analysed, and after one year, 18 (34%) had worse activity and sedentary levels. Specifically, 10 patients be-came inactive and sedentary. Multivariable analysis showed that the number of exacerbations during the follow-up period was the only outcome independently associated with change to higher inactivity and sedentary behaviour (odds ratio (OR), 2.19; 95% CI, 1.12 to 4.28). Conclusions: The number of exacerbations in patients with bronchiectasis was associated with changes in physical activity and sedentary behaviour. Exacerbation prevention may appear as a key factor in relation to physical activity and sedentary behaviour in patients with bronchiectasis.Ítem Fisioterapia respiratoria post-COVID-19: algoritmo de decisión terapéutica(Elsevier Espana S.L.U, 2022-01) Arbillaga Etxarri, Ane; Lista Paz, Ana; Alcaraz Serrano, Victoria; Escudero Romero, Raúl; Herrero Cortina, Beatriz; Balañá, Ana; Sebio, Raquel; Vilaró, Jordi; Gimeno Santos, ElenaLa pandemia causada por la enfermedad de la COVID-19 ha supuesto un gran reto para los profesionalesdel sistema sociosanitario, intensificándose con el manejo y atención de las manifestaciones clínicas quepotencialmente pueden presentarse de manera persistente en las personas que han superado la enferme-dad. Para ello, la fisioterapia respiratoria se presenta como piedra angular dentro del modelo de abordajeinterdisciplinar que requiere esta población. Dado que la implementación de esta opción terapéuticacontinúa siendo limitada en Espa˜na, es imprescindible realizar una evaluación integral y exhaustiva de lapersona que nos permita establecer criterios de selección a fin de optimizar el uso de los recursos huma-nos y materiales existentes. Para ello, se propone un algoritmo de decisión terapéutica basado en pruebasde evaluación validadas y objetivas de las posibles manifestaciones clínicas del paciente. La aplicación deeste algoritmo, en cualquier nivel asistencial (atención especializada y atención primaria/comunitaria)junto con la atención centrada en la persona, el impulso del uso de los espacios comunitarios verdes yazules de las ciudades y un adecuado uso de las tecnologías de la comunicación y la información, nospermitirá optimizar el modelo de atención de fisioterapia respiratoria en el contexto actual, marcado porla COVID-19.Ítem Fisioterapia respiratoria post-COVID-19: algoritmo de decisión terapéutica(Elsevier España S.L.U., 2022-01) Arbillaga Etxarri, Ane; Lista Paz, Ana; Alcaraz Serrano, Victoria; Escudero Romero, Raúl ; Herrero Cortina, Beatriz; Balañá, Ana; Sebio García, Raquel; Vilaró, Jordi ; Gimeno Santos, ElenaThe outbreak of COVID-19 has posed a great challenge for the healthcare system which has been later aggravated by the need of managing clinical manifestations and potential sequelae in COVID-19 survivors. In this context, respiratory Physiotherapy emerges as a cornerstone in the interdisciplinary management warranted in this population. Given that the implementation and resources available for the interdisciplinary therapeutic interventions in Spain is scarce, it is essential to perform a comprehensive, exhaustive and personalised assessment. This will allow us to establish more accurate selection criteria in order to optimise the use of existing human and material resources. To this end, we propose here a decision-making algorithm for clinical practice to assess the clinical manifestations in people recovered from COVID-19 based on well-established, validated tests and assessment tools. This algorithm can be used at any clinical practice environment (primary care/community or hospital-based), combined with a patient-centered model and the use of community and e-Health resources and its application to improve the Physiotherapy care of these patients in the COVID-19 era.Ítem Heart rate and oxygen uptake kinetics obtained from continuous measurements with wearable devices during outdoor walks of patients with COPD(SAGE Publications Inc., 2023) Buekers, Joren; Arbillaga Etxarri, Ane; Gimeno Santos, Elena; Donaire González, David; Chevance, Guillaume; Aerts, Jean-Marie; García Aymerich, JudithObjective: Continuous physiological measurements during a laboratory-based exercise test can provide physiological biomarkers, such as heart rate (HR) and oxygen uptake (V̇O2) kinetics, that carry clinically relevant information. In contrast, it is not clear how continuous data generated by wearable devices during daily-life routines could provide meaningful biomarkers. We aimed to determine whether valid HR and V̇O2 kinetics can be obtained from measurements with wearable devices during outdoor walks in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods: HR (Polar Belt) and V̇O2(METAMAX3B) were measured during 93 physical activity transitions performed by eight patients with COPD during three different outdoor walks (ntr= 77) and a 6-minute walk test (ntr= 16). HR and V̇O2 kinetics were calculated every time a participant started a walk, finished a walk or walked upstairs. HR and V̇O2 kinetics were considered valid if the response magnitude and model fit were adequate, and model parameters were reliable. Results: Continuous measurements with wearable devices provided valid HR kinetics when COPD patients started or finished (range 63%–100%) the different outdoor walks and valid V̇O2 kinetics when they finished (range 63%–100%) an outdoor walk. The amount of valid kinetics and kinetic model performance was comparable between outdoor walks and a laboratory-based exercise test (p >.05). Conclusion: We envision that the presented approach could improve telemonitoring applications of patients with COPD by providing regular, unsupervised assessments of HR kinetics during daily-life routines. This could allow to early identify a decline in the patients’ dynamic physiological functioning, physical fitness and/or health status.Ítem Heart rate recovery after the 6-min walk test in people with bronchiectasis(European Respiratory Society, 2025-03) Sáez Pérez, Juan Antonio; Arbillaga Etxarri, Ane; Alcaraz Serrano, Victoria; Gimeno Santos, Elena; Torres, Antoni; Herrero Cortina, BeatrizBackground The cardiac autonomic response to exercise and during recovery has been poorly explored in bronchiectasis. Methods A longitudinal study was conducted in adults with bronchiectasis. Sociodemographic and clinical data were collected at baseline and after 12 months of follow-up. The heart rate recovery after the first (HRR1) and second minute (HRR2) of recovery in the six-min walk test (6MWT) was estimated in both assessments. Adjusted regression models were used to identify predictors of a delayed HRR1 (HRR1 ⩽14). Results 104 participants with a mean±SD age of 64±13 years and mostly women (67%) were included. A delayed HRR1 after the baseline 6MWT was identified in 36% of participants. These participants presented a higher proportion of males, increased body mass index, higher disease severity, more likely to require hospitalisation, more impact on quality of life, lower exercise capacity, lower heart rate at the end of the 6MWT and lower HRR2. Disease severity (β, 95% CI) (moderate and severe versus mild, −0.47 (−0.94 to −0.01)) and distance walked (0.34 (0.11 to 0.56)) were the independent variables associated with HRR1. Of the 45 participants who completed the entire follow-up period, 24% exhibited delayed HRR1. The presence of at least two exacerbations during the follow-up period (OR 16.89, 95% CI 1.44 to 197.48) was the only predictor of a delayed HRR1 in the assessment completed at the end of the study. Conclusion HRR1 is related to disease severity and is mainly affected by having severe exacerbations in people with bronchiectasis.Ítem Inspiratory muscle training: back to basics must be the first step?(Sociedad Espanola de Neumologia y Cirugia Toracica (SEPAR), 2024-05) Ballesteros Reviriego, Gonzalo; Arbillaga Etxarri, Ane; Martí Romeu, Joan DanielÍtem Is non-invasive ventilation effective in improving the exercise capacity in patients with cardiac heart failure?: a randomised crossover trial(Public Library of Science, 2025-07-01) Mazzucco, Guillermo; Torres Castro, Rodrigo; Intelangelo, Leonardo; Lista Paz, Ana; Escalante, Juan Pablo; Zumeta Olaskoaga, Lore; Veiga, Gonzalo; Arbillaga Etxarri, AneIntroduction Heart failure (HF) is a prevalent global health issue, characterized by the heart’s inability to effectively pump or fill with blood, leading to inadequate cardiac output. Despite advances in medical treatments, exercise intolerance remains a significant challenge, impacting their quality of life and contributing to frequent hospitalizations. Recent studies suggest that non-invasive ventilation (NIV) may further enhance exercise performance by reducing ventilatory workload and fatigue. However, limited research has directly compared different ventilatory modes during exercise in patients with heart failure. This study aims to evaluate the effects of two NIV devices on exercise capacity. Methods A randomised crossover trial was conducted in patients with HF, reduced ejection fraction (≤ 40%), New York Heart Association functional class I-III and clinically stable. All participants underwent an initial assessment followed by an incremental exercise test to determine maximum aerobic velocity. They were then randomized to perform three constant work rate tests on separate days under three conditions: (1) with Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), (2) with pressure support (PS) and (3) without NIV. The primary outcome was time to exhaustion. Key physiological variables were recorded during each test. Participants were recruited and completed all testing between April 29 and July 18, 2022. ClinicalTrials.gov registration number: NCT05433610. Results A total of 11 patients (mean age: 67±9.6 years) completed the study. Exercise duration was significantly longer in the pressure support group (9.8±6.2 minutes) compared to the CPAP group (8.9±6.0 minutes) and the control group (7.3±6.2 minutes) (p=0.043). No significant differences were found in average heart rate (HR), final HR, or oxygen saturation (SpO2) between the groups (p>0.05). Similarly, dyspnea and leg fatigue (modified Borg scale) showed no statistically significant differences between conditions (p>0.05). Conclusion The use of NIV, particularly the PS mode, during exercise significantly improved exercise duration in patients with HF compared to CPAP or no ventilatory support.
