PURPOSE To determine whether various intensities of aerobic training differentially affect aerobic capacity as well as resting HR and resting blood pressure (BP). METHODS Sixty-one health young adult subjects were matched for sex and VO2max and were randomly assigned to a moderate- (50% VO2 reserve (VO2R), vigorous (75% VO2R), near-maximal-intensity (95% VO2R), or a nonexercising control grou...

background: high intensity interval training (hiit) is a novel training method which has received most attention in recent years. the aim of this study was to examine the effect of 8 weeks of high intensity interval training (hiit) on plasma levels of adiponectin and leptin in overweight nurses. m aterials and methods: 27 nurses (mean age 25.81±60 years, height 158.01±67 cm and weight 69.41±25 ...

Although there is consensus that the central nervous system mediates the increases in maximal voluntary force (maximal voluntary contraction, MVC) produced by resistance exercise, the involvement of the primary motor cortex (M1) in these processes remains controversial. We hypothesized that 1-Hz repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of M1 during resistance training would diminish ...

BACKGROUND Hypertension is a public health problem and increases the incidence of cardiovascular diseases. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of a resistance exercise session on the contractile and relaxing mechanisms of vascular smooth muscle in mesenteric arteries of NG-nitro L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME)-induced hypertensive rats. METHODS Wistar rats were divided into three groups: con...

BACKGROUND Physical inactivity is now a global non-communicable disease. Current recommendations from American College of Sports Medicine, American Heart Association and UK medical officers for physical activity are difficult to implement, due to time constraints and hence, they have less compliance. PURPOSE To compare Sprint Interval Training (SIT) and traditional aerobic exercise (AE) with ...

Background. Desnutrin is an enzyme that catalyzes the first step of cytoplasmic triacylglycerol lipolysis from white adipose tissue and several other tissues, which are disrupted by the obesity and metabolic syndrome. Objectives. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of high-intensity interval training and continuous training on the desnutrin gene expression in the subcutaneous adipo...

Aerobic training is included to cardiac rehabilitation programs together with resistance training. The effects of combined aerobic and performed in a same session different protocols on peak capacity (VO2peak) maximal dynamic strength (1RM: one repetition maximum) are not well known. We compared the effectiveness two for 12 weeks three times week stable Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) patients (n...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Patients must subscribe to behavioral and lifestyle modifications for continued success after weight loss surgery (WLS). Few data exist about the ideal type, duration, and intensity of exercise for WLS patients. After surgery, should we mandate that patients exercise like a young, lean individual does? To reconcile this, we compared the exercise habits of successful bar...
