BACKGROUND Diastolic filling at rest is altered markedly with advancing age. Whether exercise training can improve diastolic filling at rest or during exercise in either healthy older or healthy young men has not been determined. The purpose of this study was to determine if 6 months of aerobic exercise training improves diastolic filling. METHODS AND RESULTS Radionuclide diastolic filling pa...

The purpose of the study is to find out impact core with speed training on inspiratory reserve volume, expiratory volume among male kabaddi players. To achieve present thirty players studying in various departments and colleges Dhanalakshmi Srinivasan group institutions, Perambalur, Tamil Nadu, age 18 - 25 years were selected as subjects. They divided into three groups, which, Group I (n=15) un...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to determine the efficiency of the application of living high-training low (LHTL) on cardiac function and skeletal muscle oxygenation during submaximal exercises compared with that of living low-training low (LLTL) in athletes. METHODS Male middle- and long-distance runners (n = 20) were randomly assigned into the LLTL group (n = 10, living at 1000-m altitude...

This study aimed to investigate the impact of one aerobic and resistance training session on platelet count, mean platelet volume, prothrombin time (PT), activated partial prothrombin time (APTT), and blood clots in non-athletic women. The sample consisted of 45 non-athlete3045 years old women in Ilam; they were randomly divided into three groups of 15 subjects: two experimental groups (resista...

Regular physical activity can improve cardiovascular fitness and may reduce the likelihood and debilitating effects of cardiovascular disease. Weight-training has generally been believed to have limited value in modifying risks of cardiovascular disease. Effects shown of resistance training on parameters associated with cardiovascular fitness and disease include: heart rate decreases for maxima...

Healthy aging is typically accompanied by some decline in cognitive performance, as well as by alterations in brain structure and function. Here we report the results of a randomized, controlled trial designed to determine the effects of a novel cognitive training program on resting cerebral blood flow (CBF) and gray matter (GM) volume in healthy older adults. Sixty-six healthy older adults par...

BACKGROUND The present study examined whether aerobic fitness training of older humans can increase brain volume in regions associated with age-related decline in both brain structure and cognition. METHODS Fifty-nine healthy but sedentary community-dwelling volunteers, aged 60-79 years, participated in the 6-month randomized clinical trial. Half of the older adults served in the aerobic trai...

Studies are conflicting to whether low volume resistance training (RT) is as effective as high-volume RT protocols with respect to promoting morphological and molecular adaptations. Thus, the aim of the present study was to compare, using a climbing a vertical ladder, the effects of 8 weeks, 3 times per week, resistance training with 4 sets (RT4), resistance training with 8 sets (RT8) and witho...
