current research attempted to compare the effect of 10-day oral supplementation with saffron and indomethacin in the prevention of delayed onset muscle soreness (doms). thirty-nine healthy and inactive male students divided into three groups: saffron (300 mg), indomethacin (75 mg), and control groups. muscle soreness protocol performed with 80% of 1rm in four sessions and each session had 20 re...

During high-intensity intermittent muscle contractions for short periods of time there is an important involvement of glycolytic metabolism and consequent increased blood lactate concentrations. This study aimed to evaluate the blood lactate responses in Wistar rats submitted to high-intensity intermittent training (jump squat) protocol during 6 weeks, 3 sessions, 12 x/session, 60s of interval ...

the aim of the present study was to examine the effect of 8 weeks of resistance training and hmb supplementation on serum myostatin levels of non-athlete men. in this quasi-experimental study, 20 non-athlete men voluntarily participated in the study and were divided into experimental group (n=10, mean age 28.75±1.39 yr, height 179.83±4.30 cm, weight 81±5.27 kg and bf% 28.65±6.40) and control gr...

cardiac function during exercise is assumed to be important in determining exercise tolerance. the aim of this study was to evaluate hemodynamic changes of blood flow at anaerobic threshold and its effect on exercise tolerance. 24 patients with coronary artery disease were voluntarily divided into two groups of experimental (n=12) and control (n=12). the experimental group participated in 8 wee...

OBJECTIVE To investigate progress toward motor recovery in patients with chronic hemiparesis (mean time since stroke 3.2 years), comparing different types of practice schedules. DESIGN To increase voluntary control of the upper extremity, active neuromuscular stimulation was administered during blocked and random practice schedules as patients performed three specific movements: wrist/finger ...
