history & aims:new studies show that vaspin,chemerin and visfatin are correlated with overweight and obesity, but the effects of training, aren’t clearly recognized. the aim of this study was to compare the effect of endurance and combined exercise training on these plasma adipokines, gh and lipid profile among overweight females. for this propose, 45 female student volunteers were selected (wh...

visfatin is a newly discovered adipokine which increases along with obesity. it is not clear whether rhythmic aerobic endurance exercise training which induces changes in adipose tissue and blood lipid might decrease the plasma visfatin level. the aim of this study was to examine the effect of rhythmic aerobic endurance exercise training on rest visfatin levels some metabolic risk factors in ob...

OBJECTIVE This study hypothesized that a low-glycemic diet combined with exercise would increase expression of nuclear regulators of fat transport and oxidation in insulin-resistant skeletal muscle. METHOD Nineteen subjects (64 ± 1 y; 34 ± 1 kg/m2 ) were randomized to receive isocaloric high-glycemic-index (HiGIX; 80 ± 0.6 units, n = 10) or low-glycemic-index (LoGIX; 40 ± 0.3 units, n = 9) di...

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of high-intensity aerobic interval and repeated-sprint ability (RSA) training on aerobic and anaerobic physiological variables in male football players. Forty-two participants were randomly assigned to either the interval training group (ITG, 4 x 4 min running at 90 - 95 % of HRmax; n = 21) or repeated-sprint training group (RSG, 3 x 6 maximal sh...

Methods 22 males (24.9 ± 4.4) completed 4 exercise test visits, each involving an exhaustive exercise protocol intended to induce muscle soreness (30 minutes, -10 degree decline, 75% HRmax) and 4 hours later, a TTE performance trial. In a crossover, partially double-blinded manner, subjects were provided 2 servings of the beverage (11-13.7 oz), 15 minutes and 2 hours after the exhaustive exerci...

The primary aim of this investigation was to determine which cycling training device, Rollers or Trainers, was most effective in improving 10-km time trial. Eight male and 6 female volunteers (N = 14; age = 23.6 ± 4.6 yrs; height = 172.7 ± 9.9 cm; body mass = 68.4 ± 10.4 kg; % body fat = 16.9 ± 7.7; VO2max = 61.0 ± 9.4 ml·kg-1·min-1) provided informed consent prior to participation. Participant...

The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of high-intensity interval training such as Billat 30s-30s training (HIIT) vs moderate intensity endurance training (CT+HIIT) on aerobic parameters in young adults men. The study involved 40 young adults men (20,15±0,56 years) who were randomly divided into the two training groups: Billat 30s working at 100% of vVO2max and 30s recovery ...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of exercise therapy on glucose, TNF-α and IL-6 blood levels in middle-aged women. [Subjects] A total of 46 participants were assigned to four groups: Type D personality+Exercise (n=12), Type D+no-Exercise (n=12), not-Type D+Exercise (n=12), and not-Type D+no-Exercise (n=10). [Methods] Blood glucose was measured by the hexokinase...
