CLINIMEX: Exercise Medicine Assessment - health check & aerobic/non-aerobic fitness testing - much more than an exercise ECG & VO2 max test. To know more about, please watch our 2-min video youtu.be/n2YL4QY-lU8

Still on age-related muscle loss, I was invited to write a brief story to Medscape on it. I told a clinical story that may help you to better assess old subjects on this relevant issue and to differentiate sarcopenia and dynapenia. medscape.com/viewarticle/ma…

CPX variables HF pts : journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/full… Pleased in joining the Dutch colleagues on this study. Cardiorespiratory optimal point (COP) - minimal VE/VO2 value in a given min of a CPX - is a relevant prognostic marker for CV events & all-cause mortality

As a sports & exercise MD, congrats to João Fonseca, an 18-year-old tennis player from Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), that has just won the ATP 250 (Buenos Aires) defeating 5 other players, some of them currently ATP's ranked top 50

My most recent text to Medscape: Sports Cardiologists — Should Athletes Determine Their Own Eligibility? - in which I propose a new approach named "Informative Risk Stratification", a step ahead of shared-decision making. medscape.com/viewarticle/sp…

A new CLINIMEX study on non-aerobic fitness & mortality is currently under embargo (Elsevier) until April 30 (8AM EST), when it will be published online on Mayo Clin Proceed. It will likely impact the way resistance training is done. Mayo Clinic Proceedings

Sharing this author’s video interview posted by Mayo Clinic Proceedings with more details and informations about our recent paper Muscle power outperforms strength in predicting mortality youtu.be/EYXwHzK6VuU?si…

Muscle power outperforms strength in predicting mortality. In power training movements are executed AS FAST AS POSSIBLE (concentric phase), differing from “traditional” resistance training in which speed of execution is not prescribed or defined.

A nice and well-written The Guardian's story about the relevance of muscle power for health mentioning our recent study published in Mayo Clin Proceed Joel Snape Mayo Clinic Proceedings Clinimex The Guardian

NEWS EMBARGO ONCE AGAIN! Our newest original article using data from the CLINIMEX Exercise cohort is under news embargo until June 18th 2025, noon BST. Once published, as an “advance articles” in the Eur J Prev Cardiol EJPC Editor-in-Chief, I will post the link here

SITTING-RISING TEST: a new 2025 CLINIMEX updated and extended study. The ability to sit & rise from the floor is associated with cardiovascular and natural deaths in 46-75 y-o men and women. Open access Eur J Prev Cardiol EJPC Editor-in-Chief academic.oup.com/eurjpc/article…

Are you already utilizing the sitting-rising test (SRT) in your professional practice? youtu.be/wfodHY9wucs To learn more about SRT, Please watch this 3-min CLINIMEX video. Feel free to “print screen’ SRT instructions & information for further consultation Comments are welcome

I have been asked when was the sitting-rising test (SRT) (to assess non-aerobic fitness) – proposed? I created the SRT in the late 90’s and formal introductory publication was in October 1999 (Portuguese w/ abstract in English) scielo.br/j/rbme/a/cvhcW…

Interestingly, the sitting-rising test (SRT) scores diminish with aging but don't differ by sex at similar age, differently than about all fitness tests. Why? Men are better in muscle power/strength and women are more flexible, balancing SRT results.
