We tested the hypothesis that heavy-exercise phase II oxygen uptake (VO(2)) kinetics could be speeded by prior heavy exercise. Ten subjects performed four protocols involving 6-min exercise bouts on a cycle ergometer separated by 6 min of recovery: 1) moderate followed by moderate exercise; 2) moderate followed by heavy exercise; 3) heavy followed by moderate exercise; and 4) heavy followed by ...

objective the aim of this study was to determine the effect of revival soymilk consumption and moderate exercise on vasomotor symptoms, total antioxidant capacity (tac) and alkaline phosphates activity in postmenopausal women. materials and methods in this study, daily for 3 months, 37 postmenopausal women (mean age = 52.2± 4.6 years) were randomly assigned to soymilk (n=15), exercise +soymilk ...

Research has shown that aerobic exercise enhances cognitive function, specifically executive functions. This study examines the effect of acute aerobic exercise on cognitive flexibility - an executive function - in late middle-aged individuals. Fourteen men and 45 women aged 50 - 64, were randomly assigned to moderate exercise (60 % of heart rate reserve), moderately-intense (70 % of heart rate...

We aimed to investigate the influence of inverse moxibustion on the translocation of telomerase from cardiomyocyte mitochondria of growing mice following exercise. Sixty mice were divided into six groups (n = 10 each). For the control groups, mice were handled each day, but not subjected to moxibustion. For the inverse moxibustion groups, Guan yuan and Zusanli acupuncture points were moxibusted...

The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that prior heavy exercise results in a higher oxygen cost during a subsequent bout of moderate exercise due to changes in muscle activity. Eight male subjects (25+/-2 yr, +/-SE) performed moderate-moderate and moderate-heavy-moderate transitions in work rate (cycling intensity, moderate=90% LT, heavy=80% VO(2) peak). The second bout of moderate e...

This study examined the effect of short duration, moderate and high-intensity exercise on a Go/NoGo task. Fifteen, habitually active (9 females and 6 males aged 28 ± 5 years) agreed to participate in the study and cognitive performance was measured in three sessions lasting 10 min each, performed at three different exercise intensities: rest, moderate and high. Results indicated significant exe...

conclusions the mean heart rate was higher in participants who were overweight than those with normal weight. results the mean and standard deviation of the heart rate in the hot climatic condition and moderate exercise were 103.84 (3.34) for normal weight subjects and 108.67 (3.27) for overweight subjects. the mean and standard deviation of the heart rate in a very hot climatic condition and l...
