Background Physical activity in asthmatic children may be useful. But there is not adequate knowledge about it. In present study the effect of selective exercise on motor competency and pulmonary function in asthmatic pediatrics was evaluated. ...

BACKGROUND Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation tends to reduce mortality. However, it requires medium/long-term adherence to regular physical exercise. It is relevant to identify the variables that affect adherence to an supervised exercise program (SEP). OBJECTIVE To evaluate the influence of pre-participation levels of aerobic and non-aerobic physical fitness components in medium-term adh...

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...

Endothelial function deteriorates with aging. On the other hand, exercise training improves the function of vascular endothelial cells. Endothelin-1 (ET-1), which is produced by vascular endothelial cells, has potent constrictor and proliferative activity in vascular smooth muscle cells and, therefore, has been implicated in regulation of vascular tonus and progression of atherosclerosis. We pr...

purpose this study was designed to assess the effects of ramadan fasting on the profile of mood state and perceived exertion in young soccer players and aerobic and anaerobic performances during the yo-yo, repeated sprint ability (rsa) and the wingate tests. methods twenty junior male soccer players completed the yo-yo, the rsa, and the wingate tests on three different occasions: one-week befor...

Recent findings have suggested that aerobic exercise may have a positive effect on brain functioning, in addition to its well-recognized beneficial effects on human physiology. This study confirmed the cognitive effects of aerobic exercise on the human brain. It also examined the relationships between exercise and the serum levels of neurotrophic factors (BDNF, IGI-1, and VEGF). A total of 91 h...

Brachial artery FMD (flow-mediated dilation) is impaired with aging and is associated with an increased risk of CVD (cardiovascular disease). In the present study, we determined whether regular aerobic exercise improves brachial artery FMD in MA/O (middle-aged/older) men and post-menopausal women. In sedentary MA/O adults (age, 55-79 years) without CVD, 8 weeks of brisk walking (6 days/week for...

purpose : the present study was designed to evaluate the effects of aerobic and strength training on cardiac variables such as blood pressure, heart rate (hr), and metabolic parameters like cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (hdl), triglycerides and anthropometric parameters of obese women of punjab .   methods: this study was performed as an experimental study, in which subjects were random...
