objective: visfatin, is a novel adipokine, and an adipose tissue-derived hormone shown to correlate with visceral fat mass in patients with obesity. it is not well known whether endurance training – induced change in adipose tissue and blood lipids decreases plasma visfatin or not; thus, the purpose of this study was to examine the effect of 12 weeks endurance training on plasma visfatin in men...

objectives: investigating the effect of endurance training program onthe gait pattern of non-active elderly people. methods & materials: this study has been done by a semi-experience method with 23 old men and women by the average and standard deviation of 70/50±6/9 years old (n=14 people of exercise group, n=9 people of control group). the exercise group took part in this program for eight wee...

BACKGROUND Endurance training improves cardiopulmonary fitness in maintenance haemodialysis (MHD). Because many MHD patients are profoundly deconditioned and exhibit significant muscle weakness, endurance training may also improve muscle strength and physical performance in these patients. This study assessed this possibility. METHODS Twelve MHD patients performed incremental and constant wor...

background: the purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of endurance training on amount of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nachr) in fast and slow twitch muscles of male wistar rats. methods: a number of 15 male wistar rats randomly divided into two groups of control (n=7) and endurance training (n=8). the endurance training treadmill running (for 12 consecutive week, 5 da...

a variety of anthropometric and training characteristics have been identified as predictor variables for race performance in endurance and ultra-endurance athletes. anthropometric characteristics such as skin-fold thicknesses, body fat, circumferences and length of limbs, body mass, body height, and body mass index were bi-variately related to race performance in endurance athletes such as swim...

patients and methods forty five young female volunteer athletes were included and received different training regimens (endurance-training, strength training and concurrent groups) for a 10 week period as study intervention. standard color doppler echocardiography was performed for assessment of the left ventricular activity. results as a result, 45 athletes ended the study training regimens. m...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of endurance, resistance and concurrent training on plasma leptin levels of male students. for this purpose, 48 male university students (mean age 21.45 years) participated in this study. subjects were randomly assigned to three exercise groups: endurance group (n=12), resistance group (n=12) and concurrent group (n=12) and a control group (n=...

as the middle-aged in the society as well as stress-induced cognitive disorders and dementia are increasing, sport is identified as a suitable solution to prevent disorders in central nervous system. the aim of the present study was to compare the effects of 8 weeks of strength and endurance training on bdnf. for this purpose, 150 male wistar rats participated in endurance training (running wit...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a change in the sequence of concurrent endurance and strength training on aerobic power and body composition of active men. 30 men (mean age 25.8 ± 3.50 years) with endurance and strength training history were divided into these groups: endurance training before strength training (es, n=10), strength training before endurance training (se, ...
