Background. Omentin-1, a novel adipokine expressed in visceral adipose tissue, is negatively correlated with insulin-resistance and obesity. Objective(s). The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of eight weeks of high-intensity interval training on omentin-1 gene expression in visceral adipose tissue and insulin-resistance in male wistar rats. Methods. A total of 26 male Wis...

ôbjective: ône of non-confrontative methods for treatment of difficult issues such as grief is movie therapy which is an advanced form of bibliotherapy. the present study aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of group movie therapy (gmt) on reduction of intensity of grief experience in bereaved adolescent girls. methods: this was a quasi-experimental design with pretest-posttest and a follow up...

BACKGROUND Blood glucose changes response during and after exercise are modulated by the postabsorptive state, intensity and duration of exercise, and the level of physical fitness as well. This study focused on the idea that high-intensity interval exercise, as mini-trampoline class, can reduce blood glucose. Thus, we examined acute changes in blood glucose among trained normoglycemic adults d...

BACKGROUND Little is known about factors affecting adherence to highly-structured and supervised exercise programs in older people. METHODS Healthy, inactive older (≥65 y) women (N = 30) were randomized into a 1) higher- (ATH-80% VO₂peak); 2) moderate- (ATM-65% VO₂peak) intensity aerobic; or 3) lower-intensity resistance (RTL; 50% VO₂peak) group. All 3 groups exercised 4 days·week⁻¹ for an av...

The aim of the study was to evaluate cardiac functional parameters after 11 weeks dosed, high-intensity exercises on a treadmill in 12-13-week-old healthy rats. In general, physical activity is cheapest and safest method reduce cardiovascular disease risk factors (1,2,3). Within scope our study, we subjected male rats exercise for then studied function by echocardiography assess effects heart. ...

Background & objectives: Diabetes mellitus, as a metabolic disease, is associated with impaired insulin resistance index and cardiovascular risk factors. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a concurrent exercise and Ginger supplementation on cardiorespiratory endurance, body composition, and insulin resistance index in obese women with type 2 diabetes. Methods: 60 women ...

It has been shown that exercise is helpful against brain disorders. However, this may not be true for intense exercise (IE). Because it is easy to misadjust exercise intensity with physical condition, it is essential to know the effects of IE on cognitive process because it may have important consequences on people skills and work skills. We investigated the effects of IE on male C57Bl/6 mice, ...
