objectives: wheelchairs are the prime mobility aid of persons with spinal cord injuries. manual wheelchair propulsion puts a lot of demand on the cardiopulmonary as well as the skeletal system. the main purpose of the study was to compare the effects of both arm ergometry training and progressive resistance exercise training of upper limbs on resting heart rate and distance covered during wheel...

Background The ingestion of a multi-nutrient containing proteins, carbohydrate and creatine has been shown to enhance acute and chronic responses to resistance training, attenuating fatigue and markers of catabolism training after resistance training workouts. The purpose of this study was to investigate the acute effects of a commercially available multinutrient supplement on neuromuscular fat...

the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of short time circuit-resistance exercise with difference intensities on ghi/igf-i growth axis in healthy male students. for this purpose, 27 male students with mean and standard deviation of age 21.40±1.78 yr, height 172±0.45 cm, weight 68.85±5.39 kg were selected and randomly divided into three resistance exercise groups (each group, 9 subj...

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of the sequence order of high-intensity endurance training and circuit training on changes in muscular strength and anaerobic power. Forty-eight physical education students (ages, 21.4 +/- 1.3 years) were assigned to 1 of 5 groups: no training controls (C, n = 9), endurance training (E, n = 10), circuit training (S, n = 9), endurance before...

BACKGROUND It is widely accepted that muscle strength plays a key role on functional tasks of daily living and employability in individuals with Down syndrome (DS). Recent studies have also reported resistance training may improve chronic inflammation in other clinical situations. This is the first study conducted to determine the effect of resistance circuit training on low-grade systemic infl...
