To find the relation between exercise and cytokines, we examined the effect of the training intensity on the levels of cytokines, including interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), interlukine-4 (IL-4) and interlukine-4/interferon-gamma ratio (IL-4/IFN-γ ratio) in female Futsal players. Twelve well-trained female college Futsal players aged 19~22 participated in this study. The athletes completed 30-min of ru...

We investigated the atrial (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptides (BNP), catecholamines, heart rate, and blood pressure responses to graded upright maximal cycling exercise of eight matched healthy subjects and cardiac-denervated heart transplant recipients (HTR). Baseline heart rate and diastolic blood pressure, together with ANP (15.2 +/- 3.7 vs. 4.4 +/- 0.8 pmol/l; P < 0.01) and BNP (14.3 +/- ...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of moderate rhythm of music on perceived exertion and heart rate during different intensities of endurance training in young male athletes. 10 male athletic students (mean + sd age 21.6±2.60 years) were voluntarily selected. the present study was conducted in a crossover design with and without music. the results showed no significant differen...

OBJECTIVES We sought to determine a generalized equation for predicting maximal heart rate (HRmax) in healthy adults. BACKGROUND The age-predicted HRmax equation (i.e., 220 - age) is commonly used as a basis for prescribing exercise programs, as a criterion for achieving maximal exertion and as a clinical guide during diagnostic exercise testing. Despite its importance and widespread use, the...

Relevance. Сardiovascular status could be assessed by maximal aerobic capacity (VO2max) through direct analysis of the gases involved in pulmonary ventilation and monitoring fluctuations intervals between beats over time as heart rate variability. The aim study was to investigate relationship VO2max variability young adults. Materials Methods. A total 100 adults ages 18 25 were included observa...
