Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of supplementation with chromium picolinate combined with resistance training on the serum level of liver enzymes and insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) in male patients with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). Methods In this study, participants were 30 male patients with T2D (Mean±SD weight: 75.1±6.3 kg and BMI= 26.1±2.3 kg/m2). They were divi...

Abstract: Pancreatic β-cells function and insulin sensitivity resistance were impaired in type 2 diabetes. Exercise training may improves these impairs, however, this is not well known. The aim of present study was to examine the Effect of 8 weeks aerobic training on pancreatic β-cells function and insulin resistance in female patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: Twenty middle-age...

Background: Diabetes and obesity are associated with a decrease in sexual function and sexual activity due to changes in sex hormones. The purpose of this study was to investigate the Independent and interactive effect of Tribulus terrestris supplementation and resistance training on testosterone, FSH, LH and erectile function in obese men with type 2 diabetes. Methods: In this quasi-experimen...

Objective: The 3000-meter run is one of the most popular and enduring materials among endurance and semi-endurance races and because of the special conditions of this field, which can use aerobic and anaerobic energy production systems at the same time. We evaluated the effect of eight weeks resistance and endurance training on physiological, functional factors and elite runner's record. Metho...

Background and purpose: MicroRNA-122 (miR-122) is the most abundant liver–specific miRNA. It has been reported that miR-122 plays several biological roles such as iron homeostasis, tumor suppressor, hepatic fatty acid regulation, and in hepatocyte differentiation. The Purpose of this study was to investigate changes in liver miR-122 gene expression and serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (...

Background and Objectives: Skeletal muscle mass depends on the balance between synthesis and degradation of muscle protein, which changes with aging and disease. The aim of the present reserch was to examine the effects of two exercise training protocols on alterations of some genes involved in pathways of protein synthesis and degradation in order to achieve a more effective training program i...

rested on sociocultural theory (sct), this study attempted to examine the effect of written corrective feedback (wcf) followed by producing written languaging on developing writing accuracy over new tasks. to this aim, two intact iranian efl classes at the low-intermediate level were randomly assigned to two experimental groups: direct (n = 25) and indirect (n = 25). both groups wrote on a numb...

Background & objectives: Peripheral diabetic neuropathy is one of the most commonly diagnosed microvascular complications of diabetes, which due to impairment in the deep sensory performance, decreases in balance and strength and muscular endurance. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of two types of combined training on physical performance and body composition in type 2 di...

Introduction: The intensity of exercise is an important factor in choosing the right exercise program. The aim of current study was effect of 6-weeks of resistance training with high and low intensity on muscle growth and damage factors in active girls. Methods: 45 active girls with mean age of 20.7 ± 1.3 years, weight 58.5 ± 2.4 kg, and BMI 23.1 ± 0.5 kg / m2 were randomly divided to High(15 ...

Objectives: The goal of this study was to compare the effect of 8 weeks aerobic exercise with resistance training on Brain-derived neurotrophic factor level of old men. Methods & Materials: In this semi-experimental study, a total of 30 elderly men were selected from worldly-wise club of Broujen City, Iran and randomly divided into 3 groups of aerobic training, resistance trai...
