Introduction: Adipose tissue and inflammatory factors play important role in occurrence of atherosclerosis in overweight women. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of 8 weeks of aerobic exercise training on risk factors involved in atherosclerosis in overweight women. Materials and methods: For this, fourteen overweight women (mean ± standard deviation: body mass index 28....

Background The effects of the aerobic exercise on anxiety symptoms in patients with Panic Disorder (PD) remain unclear. Thus, the investigation of possible changes in EEG frontal asymmetry could contribute to understand the relationship among exercise, brain and anxiety. Objective To investigate the acute effects of aerobic exercise on the symptoms of anxiety and the chronic effects of aerobi...

QUESTION Is progressive resistance training as effective as aerobic training of similar duration in sedentary older adults with diabetes mellitus? DESIGN A randomised trial with concealed allocation, assessor blinding and intention-to-treat analysis. PARTICIPANTS Sixty people with Type 2 diabetes mellitus with glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) between 8% and 10% in the past month. INTERVEN...

OBJECTIVE To confirm that electrical myostimulation is a good alternative to conventional aerobic training in patients with chronic heart failure and to compare the effects of both training programmes in patients with different exercise capacities. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 44 patients with stable chronic heart failure underwent 5 weeks of exercise training, with electrical myostimulati...

BACKGROUND Motor and non-motor impairments affect quality of life in individuals with Parkinson's disease. Our preliminary research indicates that forced exercise cycling, a mode of exercise in which a participant's voluntary rate of exercise is augmented on a stationary cycle, results in global improvements in the cardinal symptoms of Parkinson's disease. The objective of the Cyclical Lower Ex...

48 This is a brief review of current evidence for the relationships between physical activity and exercise and 49 the brain and cognition throughout the lifespan, in non-pathological populations. We focus on the effects 50 of both aerobic and resistance training, and provide a brief overview of potential neurobiological 51 mechanisms derived from non-human animal models. Whereas research has fo...

conclusions the role of exercise is greater in the retention than the acquisition phase for recalling past experiences. background stress induced by sleep deprivation can cause degradation of learning in the acquisition phase, and low-intensity exercise can prevent the negative effects of stress. results the results showed that, after seven days of aerobic exercise on a treadmill, the experimen...

Exercise is receiving substantial and increasing attention as a potential treatment for depression. Despite the many positive meta-analytical findings and recommendations of some guidelines to incorporate exercise as a treatment for depression (National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, 2009), most clinical trials have significant methodological flaws that limit the generalizability...
