despite the preventative and therapeutic effects of regular exercise, exhaustive exercise may be harmful to health. the present study aimed to determine the protective effect of endurance training and cinnamon bark extract (cbe) supplementation on oxidative responses induced by an exhaustive exercise schedule in rats. the rats were randomly divided into the following five groups of 6; control s...

This study compared the nocturnal autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity in seven sickle cell trait (SCT) carriers and six subjects with normal hemoglobin in response to exercise Sympathetic and parasympathetic indices of nocturnal ANS were measured in the two groups before and 24 and 48 h after a strenuous exercise consisting of the repetition of three maximal exercise bouts. Global ANS activ...

background: supplementation usage approach and its effect on fatigue retarding had been focused on by athletes and coaches. the aim of this study was to compare the effect of two acute and chronic loading of sodium bicarbonate supplement on lactate and inflammatory indices after exhaustive aerobic activity in active men. method s : 10 active men were selected and assigned to experimental group....

Non-conscious processes are important in influencing the performance of a number of behaviors, such as physical activity. One way that such processes can be influenced is through priming. Despite this, approaches within health psychology have predominantly focused on reflective processes with a number of psychological theories dedicated to identifying the predictors of intention. In doing so, c...

BACKGROUND Understanding individual-differences of those people who do and do not meet physical activity recommendations could inform targets for increasing physical activity. Exercise reinforcement may be one such individual-level determinate, but it is not yet known whether those who meet activity guidelines have a greater relative reinforcing value (RRV) of aerobic exercise training (RRVAT) ...

this study aimed to compare the effects of high intensity and high volume training on lactate accumulation, time performance and vo2peak in 10-14 years old distance runners. 20 male endurance runners aged 12.5±2.32 years old and with a height of 154.62±3.27 cm, weight of 34.5±5.12 kg, maximum heart rate of 207.5±3.1 and vo2max of 36.45±3.22 ml /kg/min took part in the experiment. the experiment...

BACKGROUND Physical activity after bariatric surgery is associated with sustained weight loss and improved quality of life. Some bariatric patients engage insufficiently in physical activity. This may be due to exercise cognitions, i.e., specific beliefs about benefits of and barriers to physical exercise. The aim of this study was to examine whether and to what extent both physical activity an...

There are many benefits associated with participation in cardiac rehabilitation exercise programmes following MI, CABG and PTCA. Sustaining these benefits requires maintenance of physical activity in the long-term. Evidence suggests that improvements in physical activity decline following completion of formal exercise programmes. The research is limited on interventions to improve maintenance o...

Purpose: An appropriate activity of the knee agonist -antagonist muscles is important to resist against abnormal abduction-adduction moments loads around knee joint and reduce the risk of knee injuries. Exercise training has been commonly used as an intervention to improve neuromuscular activity within the synergic and/or agonist-antagonist muscles. However, maximizing the effectiveness of exer...
