Thomas Vogel,Pierre-Henri Bréchat,P.-M. Leprêtre,Georges Kaltenbach,Marc Berthel,J. Lonsdorfer +5 more
TL;DR: Moderate but regular physical activity is associated with a reduction in total mortality among older people, a positive effect on primary prevention of coronary heart disease and a significant benefit on the lipid profile.
Journal ArticleDOI
Globalization in health care: is international standardization of quality a step toward outsourcing?
TL;DR: The hypothesis is that, within a short time, this practice will greatly expand, partly due to the development of global standards of quality and the rise of processes of accreditation, both in health care and medical education.

P.-M. Leprêtre,Thomas Vogel,Pierre-Henri Bréchat,Stéphane P. Dufour,Ruddy Richard,Georges Kaltenbach,Marc Berthel,Jean Lonsdorfer +7 more
TL;DR: This work has shown that regular physical exercise is the most appropriate to improve aerobic capacity, but its effect still remained discussed in old people.

Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of a short-term personalized intermittent work exercise program (IWEP) on maximal cardio-respiratory function and endurance parameters among healthy young and older seniors
T. Vogel,P.-M. Leprêtre,Pierre-Henri Bréchat,E. Lonsdorfer,Athanase Benetos,Georges Kaltenbach,J. Lonsdorfer +6 more
TL;DR: The most striking finding in this study is that after only 9 weeks, the short-term “individually-tailored” IWEP significantly improved both maximal cardio-respiratory function and endurance parameters in healthy, previously untrained seniors.
