conclusion a higher magnetic field strength and a decrease in the hr resulted in an increase in body temperature during the mri procedure. results our investigation of the physiological response to rf heating indicated a link between increasing age and body temperature. a higher increase in body temperature was observed in older patients after a 3.0-t mri (r = 0.07, p = 0.29 for 1.5-t mri; r = ...

OBJECTIVES To observe the relationship between chest pain/dyspnoea-heart rate during exertion in patients with angiographically proved Coronary artery disease compared to patients having negative Exercise Tolerance Test in a private and public sector hospital. METHODS This is an observational two centre study from Karachi in which 150 patients referred for Exercise ToleranceTest (ETT) at Ziau...

BACKGROUND Aerobic capacity tests are important to evaluate exercise programs and to encourage individuals to have a physically active lifestyle. Submaximal tests, if proven valid and reliable could be used for estimation of maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max). The purpose of the study was to examine the criterion-validity of the submaximal self-monitoring Fox-walk test and the submaximal Åstrand cy...

conclusions children engaged with regular football practice presented enhanced physical fitness and autonomic function, by increasing vagal tone at rest. results the anthropometric and body composition characteristics were similar in both groups (p > 0.05). the groups were also similar in time spent daily on moderate-to-vigorous physical activities (fg vs. cg: 114 ± 64 vs. 87 ± 55 minutes; p > ...

background: despite the widespread use of respiratory protection equipment in different jobs, the effects of these devices on people’s physiological responses are not well recognized as yet. therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of the air purifying respiratory protection equipment on the heart rate. methods: this experimental study was performed in a climate chamber under ...

PURPOSE To compare peak exercise oxygen consumption (VO2peak) of healthy individuals with asymptomatic individuals with probable heart disease. METHODS Ninety-eight men were evaluated. They were divided into two groups: 1) 39 healthy individuals (group N) with an age range of 50 +/- 4.6 years; and 2) 59 asymptomatic individuals with signs of atherosclerotic and/or hypertensive heart disease (...

conclusion our findings support prone positioning for premature infants. therefore, it is advisable to nicu staff that if there is no obstacle for changing the infant’s position, prone position in infants with respiratory complications during receiving n-cpap in nicu can be useful. regarding the fact that prone position is a risk factor for sudden infant death syndrome , prone position should b...

To assess the effect of dietary manipulation on gross efficiency (GE), 15 trained male cyclists completed 3×2 h tests at submaximal exercise intensity (60% Maximal Minute Power). Using a randomized, crossover design participants consumed an isoenergetic diet (~4 000 kcal.day-1) in the 3 days preceding each test, that was either high in carbohydrate (HighCHO, [70% of the total energy derived fro...

There was a lack of empirical comparison the concurrent strength effects High-Intensity Interval Training and Game-Based in context youth soccer players. Objective: The main purpose this study to examine those two types training within six week-period cardio activities performance characteristics male junior high school players Kediri, East Java. Methods: By applying quantitative approach exper...

Maximal treadmill exercise heart rate, work capacity and electrocardiographic response were studied in 95 asymptomatic, predominantly sedentary women between the ages of 19 and 69 years. Average maximal heart rate (MHR) was found inversely related to age, such that MHR = 216 -0.88 (years of age) +/- 10 beats/min (X +/- 1 SD). Treadmill exercise endurance was 7.64 min +/- 1.99. The reduction of ...
