BACKGROUND Overweight, obesity, and cardiovascular disease risk factors are prevalent among firefighters in some developed countries. It is unclear whether physical activity and cardiopulmonary fitness reduce cardiovascular disease risk and the cardiovascular workload at work in firefighters. The present study investigated the relationship between leisure-time physical activity, cardiopulmonary...

SETTING Aerobics centre longitudinal study. PARTICIPANTS 8762 men aged 20-80. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES All cause mortality up to 31 December 2003; muscular strength, quantified by combining one repetition max...

Introduction and Aim: Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is a neurodevelopmental condition in children, with motor coordination disabilities. Children DCD not only exhibit poor coordination, but also experience performance physical activities are found to have fitness. The purpose of this study evaluate the cardio respiratory fitness children developmental disorder.
 Materials Metho...

introduction: it appears that some risk factors for coronary heart diseases (chd) initiate their influence in the childhood period and their clinical complications start to take effect in adulthood. it is possible that adolescent active or sedentary boys, have other inflammatory silent risk factors of chd, in addition to routine risk factors such as lipid profile. however, the scientific data a...

We used the Manitoba Health database to examine the relationship between use of inhaled respiratory drugs in people with chronic obstructive respiratory diseases and cardiovascular hospitalizations from 1996 through 2000. The drugs examined were beta agonists [BA], ipratropium bromide IB, and inhaled steroids (ICS). End points were first hospitalizations for supraventricular tachycardia, myocar...

BACKGROUND Obesity and poor physical fitness constitute a health problem affecting an increasing number of children. Causes include a pervasive "toxic" environment that facilitates increased caloric intake and reduced physical activity. An effective strategy for prevention and treatment of childhood obesity likely includes a collaborative effort in the school setting. OBJECTIVE To determine w...

Objectives: Health is defined as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being. Materials Methods: Humans have settled in both urban rural areas, which might influenced people their physiology different ways. Results: Cardiovascular fitness marker proper functioning the whole body associated with many health-related outcomes, poor leading to development cardiovascular diseases (CV...
