Rotator cuff and scapular muscle strengthening exercises are an essential part of shoulder rehabilitation and sports training. Although the effect of exercise training on pain and function have been widely investigated, few studies have focused on the changes in shoulder kinematics and muscle activity after exercise training. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the ef...

There is a substantial evidence that plyometric training significantly increases muscular strength and vertical jump. Due to the vigorous nature of this type of training, however, there is a risk of incurring musculoskeletal injuries. Therefore, conducting plyometric exercise programs in an aquatic environment might lead to significant improvements in vertical jump with possibly a lower risk of...

background resistance exercise is recommended as a useful therapeutic tool for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (t2d); however, the frequency of studies is inadequate to establish the precise mechanisms of any association between them. objectives in this study, we aimed to assess the effect of three months of resistance training on tcf7l2 expression in pancreatic tissues, serum insulin and gluc...

This study investigated the effects of hypoxia (experiment 1) and the effects of hypoxia following short-term training (experiment 2) on metabolism in working muscle. In experiment 1, eight males with a peak aerobic power (VO2peak) of 45 +/- 1.7 ml x kg(-1) x min(-1) (x +/- SE) cycled for 15 min at 66.1 +/- 2.1% VO2peak while breathing room air [normoxia (N)] or 14% O(2) [hypoxia (H)]. In exper...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate whether moderate exercise and quercetin intake with a low fat diet contribute to inflammatory cytokine production, mitochondrial biogenesis, and lipid metabolism in skeletal muscle after strenuous exercise by high-fat diet mice. METHODS Male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into four groups: (1) High-fat for 12 weeks and low-fat diet cont...

We examined the effect of resistance training on the response of mixed muscle protein fractional synthesis (FSR) and breakdown rates (FBR) by use of primed constant infusions of [2H5]phenylalanine and [15N]phenylalanine, respectively, to an isolated bout of pleiometric resistance exercise. Trained subjects, who were performing regular resistance exercise (trained, T; n = 6), were compared with ...

conclusions the trunk stabilization exercises are more effective than conventional back care exercises in the rehabilitation of patients with chronic lbp. results the results of the study demonstrated significant improvements in abdominal muscle endurance and reduction in vas and modq score of both groups (p = 0.001). the trunk stabilization exercise group showed greater gains in abdominal musc...

A resistance training protocol of low intensity and short duration allows for increased training frequency and improved compliance. This study aimed to examine the short-term (response of growth hormone (GH) and testosterone after one exercise session) and long-term (change of fitness level and body fat percentage after the exercise period) effects of slow movement resistance training using the...
