Chronic isometric strength training reduces anxiety‐like behavior in Wistar rats (684.15)

Effects of strength training on osteogenic differentiation and bone strength in aging female Wistar rats

The effects of strength training (ST) on the mechanical bone strength and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) from adult, aged and exercised aged rats were determined. The exercised aged animals displayed higher values of areal bone mineral density, compression test, alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP) and biological mineralization, while oil red O staini...

A re-evaluation of isometric strength training.

Cervical resistance training: effects on isometric and dynamic strength.

INTRODUCTION Neck injuries signify a physical fitness and human system problem with high operational significance. The prevalence of injuries in tactical aviators has been reported to be as high as 84%, although few report engaging in neck-specific strengthening exercises. It is generally believed that neck strengthening may result in fewer neck injuries. This study was designed to investigate ...

Balance training reduces fear of falling and improves dynamic balance and isometric strength in institutionalised older people: a randomised trial.

QUESTION What is the effect of a balance training protocol with the Biodex Balance System in institutionalised older people with fear of falling? DESIGN Randomised controlled trial with concealed allocation and assessor blinding. PARTICIPANTS Forty older people who lived in a nursing home and had fear of falling. INTERVENTION The experimental group completed a 12-week balance training pro...

The Effect of Chronic Ethanol Consumption on Sexual Motivation and Behavior of Adult Male Wistar Rats in the Copulatory Phase

Background: The interaction of ethanol consumption and sexual behavior has been evaluated over the past three decades; however, some studies have assessed how ethanol consumption affects the general behavioral aspects of the copulatory cycle patterns in male rats. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of chronic ethanol consumption on adult male Wistar rats' sexual motivation and ...
