There is a limited understanding of the neurological adaptations responsible for changes in strength following shortening and lengthening resistance training and subsequent detraining. The aim of the study was to investigate differences in corticospinal and spinal responses to resistance training of the tibialis anterior muscle between shortening or lengthening muscle contractions for 4 weeks a...

Background: Obesity is associated with chronic inflammation in obese subjects, which leads to an increase of inflammatory cytokines. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different intensity circuit resistance training on levels of interleukin 1 beta and interleukin-10 in obese men. Methods: In a semi-experimental trial during May to August 2020, 44 obese men from Tehran city were selecte...

animal studies have reported very useful properties including weight loss and improved body composition for conjugated linoleic acid (cla). however, there is limited information about the combined effect of resistance training and cla supplementation. therefore, the effect of cla supplementation and resistance training on body composition, serum leptin and muscle strength in non-athlete men was...

the present study intended to compare two types of aerobic training on serum levels of resistin and insulin resistance in type-2 diabetic women. 24 middle-aged type-2 diabetic women (mean age 41.8±3.45 yr, weight 76.8±3.61 kg, bmi 31.1±1.02 kg/m2, body fat percentage 41.6±1.38 and whr 0.94±0.05) were purposively selected and then randomly assigned to three groups: highly-intensity interval trai...

heart produces and secretes a hormone called atrial natriuretic peptide. the aim of this research was to investigate the effect of eight weeks of resistance and sprint training on anp of non-athlete men. 36 non-athlete healthy men were randomly divided into three groups (12 subjects each group): resistance (mean age ± sd: 33.1±2.9 years), sprint (mean age ± sd:  32.1±2.5 years) and control (mea...
