LV GLS was determined in four-, two-, and three-chamber views and assessed offline by a blinded investigator in 96 recreational athletes (mean age 33.15 ± 12.40 years, 53 male, peak VO2 38.82 ± 11.14 ml/min/kg) at a median of two (t0) and five months (t1) after COVID-19. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) was performed on a bicycle ergometer on both examination dates. Volume 10 - 2023 | https://doi.org/10.3389/fcvm.2023.1240278 This article is part of the Research TopicEchocardiography in Cardiovascular MedicineView all 31 articles Background: It has not yet been conclusively determined whether reduced left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV GLS) after COVID-19 contributes to a reduction in exercise capacity Our own studies showed a possible mild myocardial involvement in the form of reduced LV GLS in athletes after COVID-19 compared with healthy athletes The aims of this prospective follow-up study were to investigate the development of LV GLS over a 3-month period in athletes after COVID-19 and the possible relationship between LV GLS and physical performance and three-chamber views and assessed offline by a blinded investigator in 96 recreational athletes (mean age 33.15 ± 12.40 years peak VO2 38.82 ± 11.14 ml/min/kg) at a median of two (t0) and five months (t1) after COVID-19 Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) was performed on a bicycle ergometer on both examination dates Results: LV GLS improved significantly between t0 and t1 (t0 −18.82 ± 2.02 vs t1 −19.46 ± 2.05 Echocardiographic and spiroergometric parameters were within the normal clinical reference range Maximum power increased significantly from t0 to t1 (t0 283.17 ± 83.20 vs t1 286.24 ± 85.22 Watt p = 0.009) and there was a trend toward increased peak oxygen uptake (t0 36.82 ± 11.14 vs t1 38.68 ± 10.26 ml/min/kg We found no correlation between LV GLS and performance parameters except for the respiratory exchange ratio (RER) [ρ −0.316 Conclusions: Significant improvement in LV GLS approximately five months after COVID-19 may be due to mild myocardial involvement during or shortly after COVID-19 There was no correlation between LV GLS and performance parameters except for an inverse correlation of LV GLS and RER suggesting insufficient exercise intolerance at lower GLS values Further studies on the development of GLS in athletes or in the general population with moderate and severe disease courses would be informative as well as the comparison of pre-COVID-19 with post-COVID-19 echocardiography to evaluate the effects of COVID-19 on cardiac function Longitudinally, hospitalized patients showed no significant improvement in LV GLS at two months (27) or three months after acute infection (28), and 25% of patients still had abnormal LV GLS three months after acute infection (28). However, in the follow-up study by Karagodin et al., improvements in LV GLS were noted in patients with impaired baseline function (29) Further long-term observations in athletes are scarce The two main aims of this prospective follow-up study were to investigate the development of LV GLS in athletes without history of LV dysfunction at an average of two months after SARS-CoV-2 infection to a follow-up of three months to find if there may be a relationship between myocardial changes detected by LV GLS determination and physical performance The study was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and approved by the local ethics committee of the University of Ulm (EK 408/20) All athletes underwent a clinical evaluation that included a medical history and physical examination transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) including determination of left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV GLS) and cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) To examine the long-term course of echocardiographic and CPET findings participants were invited for a follow-up three months after the initial clinical evaluation A selection of 20 images was reviewed a second time by the same blinded investigator and by a second blinded investigator to determine intrarater and interrater reliability The following variables were measured or calculated: maximum power and predicted maximum power respiratory oxygen uptake at first ventilatory threshold (VO2@VT1/kg) and peak respiratory oxygen uptake (peak VO2/kg) HR at peak respiratory oxygen uptake (HR@peak VO2) and predicted HR at peak respiratory oxygen uptake (predicted HR@peak VO2) peak oxygen pulse (peak O2/HR) and predicted peak oxygen pulse and the ventilation/volume of CO2 slope (VE/VCO2 slope) A p-value of <0.05 was considered significant We performed an additional exploratory analysis in a subsample of six athletes with a GLS ≥−16% Comparisons were made with a paired t-test if the distribution was normal otherwise a Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used Symptoms during COVID-19 presented as absolute values and relative frequencies Intrarater and interrater reliability with respect to the LV GLS measure showed high agreement (intrarater: 0.892 [95%CI 0.593–0.973]; interrater: 0.794 [95%CI Echocardiographic parameters at study time t0 and t1 presented as means and standard deviation or median and IQR CPET parameters at study time t0 and t1 presented as means and standard deviation or median and IQR LV GLS correlates inversely with RER (−0.316 [−0.501; 0.102], S = 129,938.15, p = 0.027) (Supplementary Table S3). This means that athletes with inadequate exercise intolerance also have the worse (more positive) GLS values. LV GLS did not correlate with other performance parameters such as oxygen uptake, peak oxygen pulse or VE/VCO2 slope (Supplementary Table S3) there was no significant difference between the two study time points Subanalysis of athletes (N = 7) with LV GLS ≥ −16.0% (B) LV EF: left ventricular ejection fraction (D) TAPSE: tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion Bpm = beats per minute Red points: Female athlete with a normal classified GLS at t0 and increased GLS at t1 without signs of heart disease or performance impairment Whether a reduction in LV GLS also leads to reduced performance in athletes after SARS-CoV-2 infection has been insufficiently investigated We observed significant improvement in LV GLS approximately five months after COVID-19 compared to baseline at a median of two months after COVID-19 while we did not find any correlation between LV GLS and performance parameters The number of athletes with reduced LV GLS (≥ −16.0%) may be too small to demonstrate statistical significance Whether LV GLS correlates independently of COVID-19 with performance parameters in athletes in general has not been investigated to date this could provide interesting additional information about cardiac adaptation processes in competitive as well as recreational athletes and could be integrated into diagnostics of the annual sports medical screening or return-to-sport examination in the future Maximum power increased significantly from t0 to t1 and there is a trend toward increased peak oxygen uptake It cannot be ruled out that a break in training in the context of SARS-CoV-2 infection is causing poorer performance which subsequently improves during the course Improvement in performance could also be explained by the athletes' increasing recovery and predominantly being symptom-free at t1 does not change significantly and heart rate increases only slightly but not significantly These results emphasize that cardiac function does not appear to be impaired Athletes achieved the same maximal effort at both time points (RER 1.22 vs in subgroup analysis of six athletes with probable myocardial dysfunction (GLS ≥ −16.0%) or maximal oxygen uptake did not differ significantly between study time points Due to the different study populations and designs there are no consensus data available so far which limits the comparability between current studies This presented study is limited by the longitudinal design as strain values and performance parameters of athletes from periods prior to COVID-19 are not available Follow-up examinations were performed after five months on the assumption that this period was sufficiently long to detect recovery of cardiac function we performed multivariate linear regression Significant changes in LV GLS persisted over the observation period Although the LV GLS determination can be software and investigator experience dependent our results show high intrarater and interrater reliability the clearly defined population of study participants limits the generalizability of the results to the general population it allows an assessment of a specific group It should also be emphasized that we achieved a meaningful case number of athletes for a single-centre study although an association between COVID-19 and the occurrence of pathological examination findings up to myocarditis is suggested We observed significant improvements in LV GLS approximately five months after COVID-19 compared with baseline at a median of two months after COVID-19 we assume that the significant LV-GLS differences reflect possible mild myocardial involvement during or shortly after COVID-19 we did not find a correlation between LV GLS and performance parameters This could indicate that mild cardiac dysfunction in athletes with mild disease course does not necessarily contribute to decreased performance after COVID-19 an inverse correlation between GLS and RER seems to indicate insufficient load intolerance at lower GLS values further studies on the development of GLS in athletes or in the general population with moderate and severe disease courses would be informative as well as the comparison of pre-COVID-19 with post-COVID-19 echocardiography to evaluate the effects of COVID-19 on cardiac function The original contributions presented in the study are included in the article/Supplementary Material further inquiries can be directed to the corresponding author The studies involving humans were approved by Local Ethics Committee of the University of Ulm (EK 408/20) The studies were conducted in accordance with the local legislation and institutional requirements The participants provided their written informed consent to participate in this study JS;

the Canadian Cattle Foundation presented the second annual Reg Schellenberg Next Generation Legacy Award to B.C the association’s mentorship program for up-and-coming leaders in the beef industry Chicago cattle futures gained fresh highs on Monday while lean hog futures slumped The Reg Schellenberg Next Generation Legacy Award honours individuals who embody the spirit of humble leadership collaboration and dedication to the Canadian cattle industry sponsored by Schellenberg’s family’s ranch and a bursary to attend the Saskatchewan Beef Industry Conference “Reg was always bringing a CYL under his wing on Parliament Hill to give them a taste of the lobbying activities of CCA,” said Shannon Schellenberg adding that he served as a mentor in the program as well “Even though a program like CYL didn’t exist when he was getting into leadership opportunities he still sought out the mentors in his life for the wisdom he needed to become a great leader.” “Reg was very passionate about the industry He was also especially passionate about bringing along the next generation advocating for policies to the benefit of the industry,” said Lynn Grant a Saskatchewan rancher and vice president of the foundation Grant explained the young leaders are asked to nominate three people to the judging committee from their cohort for consideration resulting in four nominees: Alberta’s Brayden Schmidt and Ashley Nicholls Saskatchewan’s Marianne Sytnyk and Marchand and now ranches with her husband and his family in the north Okanagan Alberta rancher and marketing entrepreneur Sarah Wray served as her mentor for the program Marchand was accepted into the program in 2023 and was part of the 2024 graduating cohort honoured at the Canadian Beef Industry Conference She cited networking and having “a seat at the table” with decision-makers Cattlemen’s Association public affairs and education committee before the program started Marchand was initially focused on educating producers and consumers as she increasingly saw the value of working on advocacy and creating content with corporations such as McDonald’s Marchand said she had nothing but great things to say about the program “Highly recommend it for anybody that’s interested in it.” Adds missing information to lead paragraph Newsletter Sign Up - Receive daily Ontario farm and production news You’ll also

District 6 track and field championships Tuesday afternoon at Mansion Park and all three schools put together solid showings against a talented district Bellefonte’s Zane Hummel from Class AA qualified for the state meet as the lone in that class so far while Central Mountain senior Lily Hendricks and Bellefonte sophomore Victoria Schellenberg qualified in AAA Schellenberg and Hendricks both stole the show on day one despite a cloudy and off and on rain shower who captured her third district title dating back to her eighth grade season felt confident and displayed it full force when she finished with a height of 10 feet 7 inches in the pole vault after being stuck in the 9-foot range for so long Schellenberg even went for an 11-0 flat but came up just a bit short This would be my third year in a row since I placed first in eighth grade for districts,” Schellenberg said “I’ve been stuck at 9-6 for about a year now So hitting that was a relief off my shoulders.” a senior and three-time state qualifier in triple jump battled strong and talented jumpers from Altoona to make her three-peat a reality began with a 36-7 jump and immediately jumped to first place although she was last in the lineup stayed in the running with some strong jumping themselves being pushed by their coaches on the turf beside them Hendricks used the strength (and friendliness) of the competition to power through “It’s definitely different throughout the season In dual meets there isn’t a lot of competition and then you get here and there’s girls that are really jumping and pushing me what’s this?'” Hendricks laughed we’re all friends and everyone’s so nice We’ve been jumping together for so long.” The feat for Hendricks comes at no surprise after the senior broke Central Mountain’s school records earlier this season Although it sets a mark for future track and field athletes Hendricks understands next week’s competition will be stiffer that with her performance Tuesday she wants to perform even better Given the caliber of talent at the state meet “I definitely want to do better than I did today Today was not as well as I would’ve liked to do but there will be a lot more people and I won’t be seeded as well as I hoped,” Hendricks said “I want to make the podium at least.” Bald Eagle Area junior Kaiden Gates was one Eagle that stood out and left his mark on day one of the district meet the high jumper pulled out a third place finish with a 6-01 performance Gates went against some stellar jumpers that gave him a good run for a district medal and a state placement but Gates took on the challenge “My performance was good for the conditions that I’m in it’s harder to get up there,” Gates said leaving the podium then 6-7 to break my PR but I’ll take whatever I can get I got to states so that’s all that really matters to me.” At a district meet against some of the area’s best competition most people would have used a knee injury as an excuse to not medal at the biggest meet to date and come back stronger next year He not only wants to compete at the highest level which he will finally get to do as a junior athlete but he wants to move his track and field career past his high school days and he gets the necessity of doing well each time out I’m taking the rest of the week off and then I’m back at practice next week so I’ll be ready for states,” Gates concluded senior Logan Dawes and Bellefonte’s Alexander Crist were among some other standouts on the day who plays basketball in the winter and runs cross country in the fall competed in the 1,600 meter run in the prelims Although she has run the 1,600 and 3,200 before this season which doesn’t take place until Wednesday Keohane embraced the opportunity of qualifying for a district time in the 1,600 and can possibly use the fifth place finish time of 5:22.89 as a boost I’m really glad I was able to make it here,” Keohane said after her 1,600 meter run “This isn’t my main event so it was nice that I got to place I really tried to stay with some of the girls all throughout the race but on the last lap I tried to push it around the 100 and 200.” recently set the Central Mountain school record of 51 feet who took first and qualified for state standard it was a little rainy and wet,” Dawes said after his second place finish “Some of my competitors didn’t do as well either This is going to be my last meet and I’m happy I finished strong.” Dawes may not have a 2024 state qualifier tag under his name to close out his season something impressive that anyone should be proud of When asked about his approach to the future following Central Mountain Dawes reflected on the growth to get to the point where he is at “Mentally my high school career I’ve taken losses a lot better and I think I’ll take that outside of sports as a lesson,” Dawes said Crist is not only one of Bellefonte’s cross country leaders But even as a good runner in the Laurel Highlands and in meets throughout the season nothing quite compares to the district competition Crist took a third place finish with a time of 4:21.58 Through the exhaustion and fatigue of pushing his body to the max But in his final season the senior is headed to a state meet I wasn’t expecting that,” Crist said I was expecting to do better but still ran a great time It was a good job all around for all the guys.” Crist’s experiences in cross country helped train him for these moments Crist could pull out a mix of what he’s worked on all year you’re pushing the whole time and with this being a mile it’s a perfect mix of speed and endurance,” Crist said that cross country base helps a ton.” Bellefonte freshman Althea Helms finished second in the 400 in the prelims as teammate Madyson Miller finished sixth Sophomore

Schellenberg played multiple television roles He was in Lakota Woman: Siege at Wounded Knee; Walker Schellenberg’s most recent television role was his Emmy-nominated portrayal of Sitting Bull in Dick Wolf’s HBO production of Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee directed by Yves Simoneau and starring Adam Beach Schellenberg fulfilled a life’s dream to portray King Lear in an all-aboriginal casted production of the show at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa Schellenberg has received a Nellie Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor an Eagle Spirit Award and multiple Genie Awards Schellenberg will be missed by those he worked with in the film community “It is a great loss to our acting community as well as a great loss to the world at large,” said Cherokee actor Wes Studi who worked with Schellenberg more than once He and I worked for the first time together on The New World and then again on Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee where he was nominated for an Emmy “We got to be friends on a good level during The New World and we played around with ideas of putting a show together like The Odd Couple He was a lot of fun to talk to,” he said August Schellenberg center) as Powhatan and Wes Studi right) as Uncle Opechancanough in 2005’s ‘The New World.’ “I was just so fortunate to have known and worked with Augie,” said Steven Heape who worked with Schellenberg on various projects and was with his family at the time of his passing “He never had time for people who could not remember their lines He always said ‘I want to be remembered as a friend and as someone who could always remember his lines.’ He was just a fantastic person and he touched a lot of lives.” a family friend and the artist who sculpted a bronze bust of Schellenberg as Sitting Bull also remembers a man that loved being on stage “We met at a restaurant; he was going to sit for me afterwards But as soon as he realized I was sketching him he took a pose without any direction from me He was the perfect model that couldn't have been any better I had the opportunity to go to his home a few times; it was amazing to see all the collectibles he had from the work over his lifetime,” he said “There is an interesting story about the costume he wore as Sitting Bull In Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee,” Aytes said “He told me that when he went into the costume room for them to make him something for his role as Sitting Bull ‘We don't know what it should look like ‘that is it.’ He tried it on and it fit perfectly ‘Who wore this?’ They told him ‘Chief Dan George wore it.’ The irony is that Chief Dan George was his acting mentor He had no idea Chief Dan George had worn the costume And that is also what he wore for the sculpture that I created.” In a January 2010 interview on Native Trailblazers, Schellenberg shared how his life in acting had started after reading a Time Magazine article in Montreal. “I picked up a copy of Time Magazine in Montréal and read about their National Theatre School. I had never been in a play or let alone even seen one,” Schellenberg said. He auditioned and was accepted three years later. During the interview, he also joked about how for years in the industry, Native roles were not played by Native actors. “I was in Hollywood many years ago, a couple of old-timers said ‘You’re an actor,’ and I said yeah. They said, ‘You’ve got long hair in braids, you’re an Indian?’ I said yeah. They said, ‘We used to play Indians, me and my buddy here in the old days. He’s a Jew and I’m an Italian, they used to call me the Wapaho’s and they called him the Shmohawks. I just broke up [laughing’,” he said. He went on to talk about meeting his wife in theater school and having three children together. “Now we have three grandchildren,” he said Schellenberg in the interview. “It has been a wonderful life.” Will you support our work?All of our content is free And we have hired more Native journalists in the past year than any news organization ─ and with your help we will continue to grow and create career paths for our people Support Indian Country Today for as little as $10.
