Skeletal muscle effects of electrostimulation after COPD exacerbation: a pilot study
A. Abdellaoui,C. Prefaut,Fares Gouzi,A. Couillard,Marjorie Coisy-Quivy,Gérald Hugon,Nicolas Molinari,T Lafontaine,O. Jonquet,Dalila Laoudj-Chenivesse,Maurice Hayot +10 more
TL;DR: The study shows that following COPD exacerbation, NMES is effective in counteracting muscle dysfunction and decreases muscle oxidative stress.

Does systemic inflammation trigger local exercise-induced oxidative stress in COPD?
Christelle Koechlin,A. Couillard,Jean-Paul Cristol,Pascal Chanez,Maurice Hayot,D Le Gallais,C. Prefaut +6 more
TL;DR: The increased baseline systemic inflammation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients could be related to disturbed oxidant/antioxidant balance, and, together, these may have triggered the exercise-induced oxidative stress.

Cardiorespiratory Fitness Evaluation by the Shuttle Test in Asthmatic Subjects During Aerobic Training
TL;DR: It was concluded that the 20-MST has sufficient validity to assess VO2 max and to register cardiorespiratory modifications over the course of individualized aerobic training programs in mild and moderately asthmatic children and may be used to adjust training intensities during these programs.

Release of cytokines by blood monocytes during strenuous exercise
A. Rivier,J. Péne,Pascal Chanez,F. Anselme,Corinne Caillaud,C. Prefaut,Ph. Godard,Jean Bousquet +7 more
TL;DR: Correlations were observed between the in vitro release of IL-6 or TNF-alpha and age, VO2max, maximal ventilation and maximal power output of the subjects, and there was no correlation between the release ofIL-6 and TNF -alpha and lung function measured during hypoxemia.

Is Hemoglobin Desaturation Related to Blood Viscosity in Athletes During Exercise
Philippe Connes,D. Bouix,Fabienne Durand,Pascale Kippelen,Jacques Mercier,C. Prefaut,Jean-Frédéric Brun,Corinne Caillaud +7 more
TL;DR: The greater increase in blood viscosity in athletes with low hemoglobin saturation may lead to vascular shear stress, and whether this could impair the blood gas barrier and result in exercise-induced hypoxemia requires further study.
