objective: diabetic neuropathy leads to axonal transport abnormalities. however its mechanism and the beneficial effects of exercise on these abnormalities are not well documented. the present study aims to investigate kif1b mrna in spinal cord sensory neuron tissue of wistar male rats with diabetic neuropathy following endurance training. methods: we randomly assigned 12 male wistar rats into ...

The present study was designed to test whether yoga training of six weeks duration modulates sweating response to dynamic exercise and improves respiratory pressures, handgrip strength and handgrip endurance. Out of 46 healthy subjects (30 males and 16 females, aged 17-20 yr), 23 motivated subjects (15 male and 8 female) were given yoga training and the remaining 23 subjects served as controls....

BACKGROUND there have been few population-based, randomized controlled trials on the effects of strength or endurance training on cardiovascular fitness in older women. OBJECTIVE to study the effects of strength or endurance training on cardiovascular fitness in women aged 76-78 years. DESIGN a population-based, randomized controlled trial. SETTING exercise laboratory in a university facu...

BACKGROUND The aim of this prospective randomized controlled trial was to investigate if a short-term endurance or combined endurance/resistance exercise program was sufficient to improve aerobic capacity and maximum force in adult patients (18-65 years) with multiple sclerosis (MS). METHODS All patients performed a three-month exercise program consisting of two training sessions per week, la...

AIMS To compare the effects of endurance training with endurance strength training on the anthropometric, body composition, physical capacity, and circulatory parameters in obese women. METHODS 44 women with abdominal obesity were randomized into groups A and B, and asked to perform endurance (A) and endurance strength training (B) for 3 months, 3 times/week, for 60 min. Dual-energy X-ray abs...

Regular physical exercise beneficially influences cardiac antioxidant defenses in normal rats. The aim of this study was to test whether endurance training can strengthen glutathione-dependent antioxidant defense mechanism and decrease lipid peroxidation in heart of the streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Redox status of glutathione in blood of diabetic rats in response to training and acute ...
