most specialists in the field of foreign language teachingconsiderreading skill as an interactive process between the reader’s prior knowledge and the text.accordingly, the activation of prior knowledge for an effective comprehension is very important. it is generally agreed that the pre-reading phase is the stage where this type of interaction and activation may be enhanced throughcertain stra...

Background: Exercise is considered as the important treatment in diabetic patients and the process of angiogenesis in diabetes can be affected by exercise. The purpose was to investigate the effect of 6 weeks of endurance training in the form of treadmill running on VEGF levels in cardiac muscle of diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: 24 male Wistar rats weighing 245±9.4 g and 8 weeks old wer...

Background and Objective: Angiogenesis and Neurogenesis declines with aging whereas regular exercise and antioxidant supplements are associated with various physiological changes in the brain. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the effect of swimming exercise and garlic extract on the some of growth factors involved in angiogenesis and neurogenesis in the brain tissue of old rats. ...

there is less published research about how teachers in efl contexts respond to students who are relatively less mature and less competent l2 writers. while writing researchers have examined various issues concerning peer and teacher response in writing-oriented classes, little research has centered on the effect of collaborative tasks particularly dictogloss on writing skills. output collaborat...

Background and Objective: From the perspective of molecular studies، since the relationship between high intensity interval training and apoptosis-related proteins in the lungs has not investigated, aim of this study was immunohistochemical detection of apoptotic proteins Bax and Bcl-2 in the lungs alveoli after 6 weeks of high intensity interval training. Materials and Methods: This researc...

Background & objectives: Age-related cardiovascular dysfunction is often accompanied by impaired mitochondrial biogenesis and function. Exercise training can improve mitochondrial function and content in muscle to meet the energy demands of the cells. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of moderate-intensity (MRT) and high-intensity (HRT) resistance training on the ex...

Background and Aim: Aerobic exercise plays an important role in prevention of obesity, improvement of sleep quality and cardiovascular function. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 8 weeks of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise training on sleep quality, and also cardiac structure and function in inactive obese girls. Materials and Methods: In this study, 20 inactive obe...

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of high intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate continuous training on plasma apelin concentrations and insulin resistance in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes. 39 elderly males and females were randomly divided into three groups: high intensity interval training (HIGH), moderate continuous training (CONT) and control...
