purpose prolonged physical exercise results in transient elevations of biochemical markers of muscular damage. this study examined the effect of short-term maximal exercise on these markers, homocysteine levels (hcy), and total antioxidant status (tas) in trained subjects. methods eighteen male football players participated in this study. blood samples were collected 5-min before and 3-min afte...

The present study investigated the acute and short-term effects of oral feeding of jujube solution on blood platelets and its morphological indices in response to circuit resistance exercise. Fourteen young male volunteer students were randomly divided into the placebo and jujube solution groups. All participants performed one circuit resistance exercise[9stations/nonstop, 30 seconds for each s...

  Background: Heavy exercise cause muscle damage associated with production of inflammatory agents. The purpose of present study was to determine the effect of acute and 14-day Coenzyme Q10 supplementation on inflammatory, blood lactate and muscle damage in male middle-distance runners.   Methods : Eighteen male middle-distance runners in a randomized and quasi experimental study were allocated...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different intensities of short-term exercise on leptin, insulin, cortisol and lipid profiles in overweight and obese children. 24 overweight and obese boys (mean age 15.5±0.65 years old and bmi: 30.09+2.47 kg/m2) participated in this study. all subjects participated in a graded breath to breath gas-analyzer testing by bruce protocol to measure...

the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of short-term creatine monohydrate (cr) and folic acid (fa) supplementation on homocysteine (hcy) levels in young active males. eighteen young male soccer players (21.11±2.02 years, vo2max 56.51±2.31, hcy 13.45±0.59) volunteered to participate in this study. they were randomly divided into creatine monohydrate (n=6), folic acid (n=6) and ...

abstract        background and objective: doxorubicin (dox) is an effective anticancer drug. it has been shown that  a short-term exercise performed prior to dox-treatment has no effect on cardiotoxicity in young rats. in the present study, old and young rats were evaluated to determine the protective effects of pre-treatment with short-term exercise on dox-induced oxidative damage in cardiac t...

introduction: exercise training increases skeletal muscle capillary density, but the molecular mechanisms of this process are not yet clear. the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of acute long- term submaximal exercise on serum vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) as the main angiogenic factor, and matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9 ( mmp-2 and mmp-9), as the degrading ...

there are many reasons for decrease of the functional activity of the brain like aging of the neurons, bacterial diseases and neuro inflammations. nowadays, the effects of exercise on physical and mental health have been proven but its effects on motor functions as well as neuro inflammation is an issue that has recently been studding. neuro inflammation is a mechanism that can be caused by bac...
