Objective:
The Videos of Physical Exercise and Sedentary Behaviours (VPESB) database is a novel database designed to experimentally investigate neural reactivity to physical exercise. The aim of this database is to provide a variety of dynamic images with a minimum of confounding factors.
Methods:
A total of 196 healthy participants were recruited to evaluate 10 clips of sedentary activities and 10 clips of physical exercise. Each activity was performed by a male and female performer, resulting in a total of 40 video clips of 10 s each.
Results:
The validation procedure confirmed the ability of these videoclips to accurately represent both sedentary and physical activity. In addition, video clips of physical activity were associated with higher effort ratings than sedentary activities (p < 0.01).
Conclusions:
The VPESB is a versatile, rapid and easy-to-use tool that can be used to understand emotional and behavioural approaches to physical activity and to better disentangle some clinical conditions in which physical activity plays a central role.

01:20Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...
01:26Exercise Stress Test
Exercise stress testing, commonly known as a treadmill test, is a noninvasive procedure used to evaluate cardiovascular function and diagnose heart conditions.
Definition
An exercise stress test measures the heart's response to exertion using a treadmill or stationary bicycle. Chest electrodes record the heart's electrical activity through an ECG, and blood pressure is monitored regularly.
