Exercise performance is associated with physical development. For sick children, there is a need for parameters reflecting exercise performance, which should be easy to measure and should take their nutritional state into account. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between maximum work-load (Wmax) and body weight (BW) as well as fat-free mass (FFM) in healthy children per...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of 2 modes of aerobic exercise (continuous or intermittent) on maximum strength (1 repetition maximum, 1RM) and strength endurance (maximum repetitions at 80% of 1RM) for lower- and upper-body exercises to test the acute hypothesis in concurrent training (CT) interference. Eight physically active men (age: 26.9 +/- 4.2 years; body mass: 82.1...

In upper airway obstruction (UAO) the relationship between the degree of obstruction, exercise limitation and lung function indices is not well established. Therefore, we investigated in nine healthy subjects (age 36+/-9 yrs) the effects of two added resistances at the mouth (R1 = added resistance with 7.8 mm diameter; R2 = 5.7 mm) on forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), peak expirato...

The objectives of this study were to examine the effects of voluntary sub-maximal activation of the pelvic floor muscles (PFMs) during singing on PFM strength and compliance with the exercise regime. The participants in this pilot interventional study were a convenience sample of 11 asymptomatic (eight at follow-up) and seven symptomatic (five at follow-up) individuals. The primary outcome meas...

the aim of the present study was to investigate the response of plasma visfatin to resistance exercise intensity and its relationship with insulin resistance, growth hormone and il-6. after familiarization and determining their maximum strength (1-rm), 15 healthy young subjects (age: 26.2±4.1 yr, weight: 75.1±9.1 kg) performed three resistance exercise sessions at intensities of 30%, 55% and 80...

the aim of the present study was to examine the effect of one session of swimming and running exercise on the appetite and calorie intake in healthy girls. the research design was a cross – sectional one and 12 female university students (mean age 22.5±1.3 yr, weight 56.07±5.46 kg, body fat percent 27.125±8.316, bmi 21.175±2.68 kg/m2) voluntarily participated in three modes of control, swimming...
