Abstract:

Background & Aim: Evidence suggests that apoptosis plays an important role in the aging process. Today, regular physical activity is recognized as a defense strategy in delaying aging and related diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of 12 weeks of resistance training on serum levels of p53, caspase-3, and caspase-9 in sedentary elderly men. Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 30 elderly men (Age: 66/2±3/2) were selected voluntarily and purposefully as a statistical sample and randomly divided into experimental groups (n=15) and control (n=15). Participants in the experimental group performed resistance training for 12 weeks and three sessions per week. At the beginning and end of the study, venous blood samples were collected to measure biochemical values. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software version 24 and with dependent and independent t-test at a significance level of less than 0.05. Results: After 12 weeks of resistance training, a significant decrease was observed in serum levels of p53 (p=0.03), caspase-3 (p=0.016) and caspase-9 (p=0.025). Also, a significant difference was observed between the experimental and control groups in serum levels of p53 (p=0.04), caspase-3 (p=0.02) and caspase-9 (p=0.03). Conclusion: It seems that regular resistance training can play an important role in attenuation of the apoptosis and slowing down the aging process.

The effect of resistance training intervention on serum levels of some anti-aging and rejuvenating proteins in older men

Introduction: exercise interventions can play an important role in delaying aging. Klotho protein and Growth Differentiation Factor 11 (GDF11) are a new family of biochemical theories of the aging process. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of 12 weeks of resistance training on serum levels of Klotho anti-aging proteins and rejuvenating of GDF11 factor in elderly men. Me...

Effects of twelve weeks of resistance training on the resting levels of cardiac and related hormones in healthy men

Introduction: Heart secretes hormones such as natriuretic peptide. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 12 weeks of resistance training on these hormones. Methods: Twenty four healthy men (Mean age ± SD: 24.9 ± 3.2 years) were randomly allocated to experimental and control groups. Subjects in the experimental group performed a 12-week resistance training program, 3 ses...

The Effects of Ten Weeks Resistance Training on Resting Levels of Some Angiogenesis Factors Among Men with Prostate Cancer

Background: Prostate cancer is the second most prevalent canceramong men and the eighth leading cause of death in Iran. In pathological conditions, angiogenesis increases the chance of metastasis and thus spreads cancer. The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of 10 weeks of resistance training on some angiogenesis factors among men affected by prostate cancer. Materials and Me...
