chronic inflammation is an integral part of cardiovascular disease and high blood pressure was found to be associated with endothelial dysfunction. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of endurance training and galbanum supplement on parameters related to vascular function includes endothelial selectin(e-selectin) and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor(ace-i) as inflammatory fa...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a change in the sequence of concurrent endurance and strength training on aerobic power and body composition of active men. 30 men (mean age 25.8 ± 3.50 years) with endurance and strength training history were divided into these groups: endurance training before strength training (es, n=10), strength training before endurance training (se, ...

The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of in-season strength maintenance training frequency on strength, jump height, and 40-m sprint performance in professional soccer players. The players performed the same strength training program twice a week during a 10-week preparatory period. In-season, one group of players performed 1 strength maintenance training session per week (grou...

The present study investigated the influence of a 12-week electromyostimulation (EMS) training program performed by elite rugby players. Twenty-five rugby players participated in the study, 15 in an electrostimulated group and the remaining 10 in a control group. EMS was conducted on the knee extensor, plantar flexor, and gluteus muscles. During the first 6 weeks, training sessions were carried...

CONTEXT Improving neuromuscular control of hamstrings muscles might have implications for decreasing anterior cruciate ligament injuries in females. OBJECTIVE To examine the effects of a 6-week agility training program on quadriceps and hamstrings muscle activation, knee flexion angles, and peak vertical ground reaction force. DESIGN Prospective, randomized clinical research trial. SETTIN...

Muscle strain is one of the most common injuries, resulting in a decreased range of motion (ROM) in this group of muscles. Systematic stretching over a period of time is needed to increase the ROM. The purpose of this study was to determine if whole-body vibration (WBV) training would have a positive effect on flexibility training (contract-release method) and thereby on the ROM of the hamstrin...

Functional training (FT) refers to exercise training programs designed to imitate the activities and movement patterns that occur in an athlete’s characteristic activity. Its purpose is to make training adaptations more specific and applicable. There is a lack of studies on the effects of FT in young and previously trained subjects. The aim of this study was to determine the training-specific e...

the aim of this study was to assess the effect of four weeks of high intensity aerobic interval football training on aerobic performance indices in soccer players. 18 soccer players in iran azadegan league (age 21.88+2.24 yr, height 174.22+5.33 cm, weight 67.7+5.7 kg, body fat percent 12.38+3.29) volunteered to participate in this study and divided into two groups (training, 12 players; control...
