objective: elevated amino acid homocysteine (hcy) levels and insufficient physical activity are the risk factors in alzheimer disease (ad) development. the effect of intermittent aerobic training on memory retention test and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (tbars) and superoxide dismutase (sod) levels in the dorsal hippocampus of rats which were stimulated with hcy is investigated. meth...

conclusions regular consumption of various fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes and beans, sprouts and seeds is an effective and safe way to meet all antioxidant requirements in physically active persons and athletes. results it seems that the best recommendations regarding antioxidants and exercise are having a balanced diet rich in natural antioxidants and phytochemicals. eviden...

objectives: investigating the effect of endurance training program onthe gait pattern of non-active elderly people. methods & materials: this study has been done by a semi-experience method with 23 old men and women by the average and standard deviation of 70/50±6/9 years old (n=14 people of exercise group, n=9 people of control group). the exercise group took part in this program for eight wee...

OBJECTIVES Exercise is reported to improve function for people with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) but it is not clear if this effect is causal or if patients with milder disease find it easier to exercise. This study examines the effect of exercise and motivation to exercise on function, while controlling for disease severity. METHODS Participants who were members of an existing AS cohort were ...

Previous studies have shown inconsistent findings regarding how structured exercise affects energy expenditure (EE). This study was designed to determine the changes in EE and physical activity following exercise training in older women. Nonobese (body mass index = 25.8 ± 3.4 kg·m-2) women (60-75 years, n = 72) completed a 4-month supervised aerobic exercise training of lower- or higher-dose (3...

background: ascorbic acid (vitamin c) is one of the most commonly water soluble vitamins. extra energy is necessary for the exercise is not often attributed to intake of vitamin c, long-term and intense exercise can lead to oxidative damage to cellular compounds and also contribute to muscle fatigue and decrease exercise performance. limited data are available regarding to the efficacy of vitam...

A particular allele of the carnosinase gene (CNDP1) is associated with reduced plasma carnosinase activity and reduced risk for nephropathy in diabetic patients. On the one hand, animal and human data suggest that hyperglycemia increases plasma carnosinase activity. On the other hand, we recently reported lower carnosinase activity levels in elite athletes involved in high-intensity exercise co...

BACKGROUND Cardiovascular diseases are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in solid organ transplant recipients. In addition, low physical activity is a risk factor for cardiac and cerebrovascular complications. OBJECTIVES This study examined potential relationships between physical activity, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), risk factors for cardiovascular disease, and an exerci...

STEPHEN M. ROTH, RICHARD GAJDOSIK AND BRENT C. RUBY. Effects Of Circulating Estradiol On Exercise-Induced Creatine Kinase Activity. JEPonline. 2001;4(2):10-17. The present investigation sought to determine the effects of circulating estradiol (E2) and oral contraceptive use on serum creatine kinase (CK) activity following acute eccentric exercise. Ten college-aged female subjects were grouped a...

Blood hypercoagulability or thrombogenicity can be one of the main causes of the cardiovascular diseases in young population without traditional pathologic risk factors such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension or hyperlipidemia. The effect of aerobic exercise on coagulation and fibrinolysis has been studied extensively Regarding to the effectivness of resistance exercises to increase functional...
