Abstract

This study’s goals were to determine the health status of a group of heart transplant recipients (HTRs) and their level of physical activity and to compare the health status among them and with a group of healthy sedentary individuals. Fifty-four HTRs and eighteen sedentary individuals (S) were assigned to four groups, according to their level of physical activity (determined with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire); patients with a low, moderate, and high level of physical activity (HTRL, HTRM, and HTRH, respectively) and S participants underwent a basic blood analysis and several tests to assess their cardiovascular, neuromuscular, and functional mobility condition and their quality of life. The S and HTRH were very similar in terms of BP, HR, and blood analysis while HTRM and HTRL differed from both S and HTRH in these parameters. Regarding the cardiovascular, neuromuscular, functional mobility, and quality of life variables assessed in this study, HTRH showed the best results across all of them, followed by S, HTRM, and HTRL. It is suggested that the weekly level of physical activity of HTRs should be high, which might help them to enhance their health and quality of life.

不同体育锻炼水平的心脏移植患者健康状况对比分析

本研究的目的是确定一组心脏移植受者（HTR）的健康状况及其体育锻炼水平，并将他们的健康状况与一组健康的久坐者进行比较。54名心脏移植受者和18名久坐者（S）根据他们的体力活动水平（通过国际体力活动调查问卷确定）被分为四组；体力活动水平低、中、高的患者（分别为HTRL、HTRM和HTRH）和S参与者接受了基本的血液分析和多项测试，以评估他们的心血管、神经肌肉和功能活动状况以及生活质量。在血压、心率和血液分析方面，S 组和 HTRH 组非常相似，而 HTRM 组和 HTRL 组在这些参数上与 S 组和 HTRH 组都有所不同。就本研究中评估的心血管、神经肌肉、功能活动性和生活质量变量而言，HTRH 在所有变量中都显示出最好的结果，其次是 S、HTRM 和 HTRL。研究建议，HTR 每周的体育锻炼水平应较高，这可能有助于他们增强体质，提高生活质量。
