purpose the present study was designed to evaluate the effects of aerobic and strength training on cardiac variables such as blood pressure, heart rate (hr), and metabolic parameters like cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (hdl), triglycerides and anthropometric parameters of obese women of punjab. methods this study was performed as an experimental study, in which subjects were randomly sel...

Obesity is affected by genetic factors and environmental influences. This research was undertaken to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) related to obesity and physical fitness and then to analyse and compare interactions between physical fitness and obesity-associated genotypes. To investigate relationships between physical fitness and major SNPs previously reported to be related t...

The association of low physical fitness with an increased risk of mortality is independent of physiological risk factors, but psychological variables such as anxiety and depression have not been evaluated as possible confounders for all-cause mortality. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the possible confounding effects of anxiety and depression on the relation between physical fitness a...

BACKGROUND Injury among soccer referees is rarely studied, especially with regard to differences in the quality level of the refereeing. Additionally, we have found no study that has reported injury occurrence during official physical fitness testing for soccer referees. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency, type and consequences of match-related and fitness-testing related in...

AIM The aim of the current research was to explore the relationship between motor competence, physical fitness and self-perception, and to study to which extent this relationship may vary by gender. METHODS A sample of 67 children (mean age 11.46 years, SD 0.27) completed Harter's Self-Perception Profile for Children (SPPC), the Movement Assessment Battery for Children (MABC) and the Test of ...

Background & aim: Background & aim: Physical fitness is essential for maintaining optimal health and can be achieved and improved by doing physical activities. Maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 max) has been used as a measure of physical fitness. This study aimed to determine the effect of jogging program on midwives' physical fitness. Methods:In this randomized controlled trial two large healthc...

Human health is highly dependent on the condition of health-related physical fitness and particularly body composition. Adolescence is unique in this regard, especially when the adolescents are mentally retarded, about whom information on physical fitness is limited. Thus, the objective of this paper was to study the components of health-related physical fitness with emphasis on body composit...
