Regular exercise has the capability of decreasing the incidence and progress of certain cancers. Murine sarcoma, (S-180) cells were transplanted to control (TC), exercise trained (10 week, 1 hour day, 5 times/ week) mice, which had the swimming training terminated at the time of transplantation (ETT), and also to a group of mice that continued to exercise during tumor bearing (ETC). Continuous ...

BACKGROUND This investigation compared the effects of an extended period of weight-bearing (running) vs. non-weight-bearing (cycling) exercise on hepcidin production and its implications for iron status. METHODS Ten active males performed two separate exercise training blocks with either running (RTB) or cycling (CTB) as the exercise mode. Each block consisted of five training sessions (Day 1...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW Patients with rheumatoid arthritis benefit from long-term moderate or high-intensity exercises. Moderate or high-intensity exercises were found to improve aerobic capacity, muscle strength, functional ability, and psychological well-being, and slow the age-related and sex-related decrease in bone mineral density of the hip. Despite these positive findings, there is also concer...

OBJECTIVE This study was designed to investigate bone properties using heel quantitative ultrasound (QUS) in young adults participating in various sports. METHODS A cross sectional study was performed on Chinese male students (n = 55), aged 18-22 years. Subjects with previous fractures or suffering from any diseases known to affect bone metabolism or taking any medication with such an effect,...

Background. The objective of this trial was to evaluate the effect of two exercise programs on patients undergoing the implantation of intraarticular stem cells. Objectives. We performed a randomized trial on sixteen patients under 65 years old with moderate knee OA after stem cell therapy. Methods. Patients were randomly divided into two groups of exercise therapy: weight-bearing (WB) and no...

Different rhythmic leg movements in vertebrates can share coordinating neural circuitry (Stein 2005). These movements are often similar kinematically, and smooth transitions between the different movements are common. We focused on interlimb coordination of the legs in young infants, to determine if weight bearing and non-weight bearing movements might share coordinating circuitry. If interlimb...

Weight bearing during exercise plays an important role in improving the mechanical properties of bone. The effect on bone of non-weight-bearing exercise such as swimming remains controversial. To investigate the effects of exercise mode on growing bone, 29 male Wistar rats (7 wk old) were randomly assigned to a running exercise group (Run, n = 9), a swimming exercise group (Swim, n = 10), or a ...
