Background: Tension neck syndrome (TNS) is a prevalent condition worldwide. Soft tissue mobilization and strengthening exercises are used in physiotherapeutic rehabilitation of the musculoskeletal disorders. Objective: To compare effects with without soft (STM) for pain disability reduction females TNS. Methods: A single-blinded, parallel-group randomized controlled trial was conducted at Natio...

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of moderate and high intensity endurance trainings with genistein consumption on tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF- α) and interferon gamma (INF- γ) in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 64 male diabetic rats were randomly assigned into 8 groups of 8 (1) first week control (2...

Young inactive healthy-weight females (n = 42) were randomly assigned to exercise at a self-selected pace on a treadmill beside a confederate who was providing either intrinsic or externally regulated verbal primes. Heart rate (HR), rating of perceived exertion (RPE), percentage of time spent in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), and exercise continuance were recorded. Participants ...

OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study are to evaluate the impact on voice of both duration and intensity level of 2 hours of continuous oral reading. Voice modifications accompanying changes in intensity level during prolonged reading tasks are analyzed. METHODS Fifty normophonic women undergo two sessions of voice loading in which the required intensity level of voice varied between 60-65 ...

the purpose of the present study was to compare the effects of one- and two-session(s)-per-week training programs on musculoskeletal and cardiovascular indices in sedentary female university students. 111 voluntary sedentary female university students were randomly divided into three groups (one session groups (os): n=37, mean age 21.02±1.73 years, two sessions group (tn): n=35, mean age 21.17±...

We evaluated the effects of chronic allergic airway inflammation and of treadmill training (12 weeks) of low and moderate intensity on muscle fiber cross-sectional area and mRNA levels of atrogin-1 and MuRF1 in the mouse tibialis anterior muscle. Six 4-month-old male BALB/c mice (28.5 +/- 0.8 g) per group were examined: 1) control, non-sensitized and non-trained (C); 2) ovalbumin sensitized (OA...

This study compared fat oxidation rate from a graded exercise test (GXT) with a moderate-intensity interval training session (MIIT) in obese men. Twelve sedentary obese males (age 29 ± 4.1 years; BMI 29.1 ± 2.4 kg·m(-2); fat mass 31.7 ± 4.4 %body mass) completed two exercise sessions: GXT to determine maximal fat oxidation (MFO) and maximal aerobic power (VO2max), and an interval cycling sessio...
