A behavioral package was used to shape and maintain the adherence of 5 subjects with vascular headache to a program of aerobic exercise training. Repeated measures of exercise behavior were examined through the use of a bidirectional changing criterion design. Repeated measures of headache activity were also collected. Results demonstrated a functional relationship between the behavioral packag...

Contamination is commonly overlooked in randomized trials. The present study examined contamination (minutes of aerobic activity outside of exercise sessions) within an active control condition in a 6-month randomized exercise trial for older adults. We hypothesized that outside aerobic activity would be greater in the control condition compared to the intervention conditions. Participants (mea...

BACKGROUND Functional exercise capacity in people with asbestos related pleural disease (ARPD) is unknown and there are no data on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The primary aims were to determine whether functional exercise capacity and HRQoL were reduced in people with ARPD. The secondary aim was to determine whether functional exercise capacity was related to peak exercise capacity,...

conclusions the applied therapy adaptation before and after exercises was adequate to avoid hypoglycemia while using an ultra-long-acting insulin. objectives the aim of this experimental, cross-sectional study was to investigate exercise intensity-dependent, short-acting insulin reductions to avoid hypoglycemia, applying standardized exercises using insulin degludec (®tresiba/novo nordisk, denm...

researchers demonstrate that individuals in different levels of physical activity have different motivations for sport activity. this study was designed to examine how motivations can discriminate three physical activity levels (inactive, active, sustained maintainers) according to self-determination theory. 159 zanjan university staff (mean age: 33 years old) completed exercise motivation inve...

Introduction: Transtheoretical model (TTM) is one of the models applied to assess the physical activity behavior. From critiques to this model is that the majority of the studies based on the transtheoretical model have employed cross-sectional designs so that it fails to show the dynamic nature of change. Thus, the aim of the current study was to investigate transitional shifts in Physical Act...

Growth hormone (GH) regulates whole body metabolism, and physical exercise is the most potent stimulus to induce its secretion in humans. The mechanisms underlying GH secretion after exercise remain to be defined. The aim of this study was to elucidate the role of estrogen and pituitary type 1 deiodinase (D1) activation on exercise-induced GH secretion. Ten days after bilateral ovariectomy, ani...

Carpenter RL, Lemmer JT, Francis RM, Knous JL, Sarzynski MA, Womack CJ. Tissue Plasminogen Activator And Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 Gene Expression in Muscle After Maximal Acute Aerobic Exercise. JEPonline 2010;13(6):35-44. Animal studies suggest plasminogen activation in skeletal muscle is necessary for muscle repair. However, plasminogen activators have been studied little in humans. T...
