Introduction: Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease with a consequent increase in bone fracture. The purpose of this study was to determine skeletal changes induced by two types of exercise therapy in osteoporotic rats. Materials and methods: Among 30 male rats, 6 of them were selected as healthy group, Then Osteoporosis induced in other rats by intraperitoneal injection of 20% ethan...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of warm-up and cool-down exercise on delayed onset of muscle soreness at the distal and central parts of rectus femoris following leg resistance exercise. Thirty-six volunteers (21 women, 15 men) were randomly assigned to the warm-up (20 min ergometer cycling prior to the resistance exercise), cool-down (20 min cycling after the resista...

With resistance exercise, greater intensity typically elicits increased energy expenditure, but heavier loads require that the lifter perform more sets of fewer repetitions, which alters the kilograms lifted per set. Thus, the effect of exercise-intensity on energy expenditure has yielded varying results, especially with explosive resistance exercise. This study was designed to examine the effe...

Aims: The aim of this study examined the acute effects of exhaustive incremental exercise on serum leptin, glucose and lactate in one session in trained men 18-26 years old. Materials and Methods: Thirty students who had 18-26 years old, body fat between 15-25 percent and VO2max between 35-45 ml/kg/min, simple randomly selected through 200 physical education students and they were divided into...

In this short methodological paper, we introduce four issues regarding the process of a horizon scanning exercise. During our project about future higher education, met with several challenges that influenced data gathering and analysis research. The were as follows: (1) finding right template gathering, (2) identifying focus exercise, (3) effect chosen target group on process, (4) issue blind ...

BACKGROUND It is widely accepted that muscle strength plays a key role on functional tasks of daily living and employability in individuals with Down syndrome (DS). Recent studies have also reported resistance training may improve chronic inflammation in other clinical situations. This is the first study conducted to determine the effect of resistance circuit training on low-grade systemic infl...

Introduction: It has been shown that regular endurance exercise is a widely recognized modality to raise plasma high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels, but the results reported in studies of the effect of supra-maximal /maximal high intensity or power and anaerobic based sports and exercise on lipoprotein are conflicting. Objectives: The purposes of the present study were to invest...
