Background Athletes demonstrate major adaptative changes in their hearts with high level of exercise. However the long term consequences of endurance training were not completely understood. We aimed to to explore the effect of long term endurance exercise on cardiac morphology and function, and diffuse fibrosis, and assess the significance of any discovered changes (correlation with documented...

due to an increase in obesity, the aim of the present study was to examine the effect of 12 weeks of endurance training on body weight, food intake, plasma acylated ghrelin and pyy3-36 in obese male rats. 16 male wistar rats were fed for 9 weeks with a high fat diet (derived from soybean oil) until they reached mean weight of 319±30 g. the rats were randomly divided into control group (n=8) and...

background: exercise has positive and negative effects on immune system. herein, we would like to investigate the effects of incremental aerobic training and fish oil supplementation on the plasma levels of crp, cpk and il-17 in trained mice. one of the major roles of immune system is to produce soluble or cellular components that provide the immunity against inflammatory agent. the purpose of ...

BACKGROUND Exercise training during the dialytical procedure may have positive cardiovascular effects and prevent or revert muscle wasting in patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis. AIM To evaluate the effects of an exercise training program in patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifteen patients on chronic hemodialysis aged 21 to 69 years (three females) were i...

Background Energy supplements are frequently consumed by athletes and recreational fitness enthusiasts as a method of improving exercise performance. Recent research indicates that these types of supplements influence exercise performance by increasing the number of repetitions that can be performed during an acute bout of exercise, thus increasing the total volume of work that can be performed...

The benefits of endurance exercise on general health make it desirable to identify orally active agents that would mimic or potentiate the effects of exercise to treat metabolic diseases. Although certain natural compounds, such as reseveratrol, have endurance-enhancing activities, their exact metabolic targets remain elusive. We therefore tested the effect of pathway-specific drugs on enduranc...

background: the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of exercise training on maximum aerobic capacity, resting heart rate (rhr), blood pressure and anthropometric variables of postmenopausal women with breast cancer. methods : twenty nine women with breast cancer who received surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy with current hormone therapy were divided into two groups; interventi...

OBJECTIVES Consumption of high-fat foods is one of the major causes of obesity. Physical exercise is a strategy used to counteract obesity. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of eight weeks endurance training and high-fat diet (HFD) on appetite-regulating hormones in rat plasma. MATERIALS AND METHODS TWENTY EIGHT MALE WISTAR RATS WERE RANDOMLY DIVIDED INTO FOUR GROUPS: Contro...
