introduction: excessive physical exercise overproduces reactive oxygen species. even if elite sportsmen increase their antioxidant status by regular physical training, this improvement is not sufficient to limit free radical production during the competition period which can be detrimental to the body. this study evaluates the effect of grape seed supplementation along with aerobic exercise on ...

introduction: heart secretes hormones such as natriuretic peptide. the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 12 weeks of resistance training on these hormones. methods: twenty four healthy men (mean age ± sd: 24.9 ± 3.2 years) were randomly allocated to experimental and control groups. subjects in the experimental group performed a 12-week resistance training program, 3 sessio...

This study aims to survey the effects of a circuit resistance training session with a light intensity on some hematological parameters of male students of Physical Education. After the release of an announcement and call, 20 male students of Physical Education voluntarily participated in this study. After equalization, they were randomly divided into two groups including light-intensity exercis...

The purpose of this study was to assess differences in the levels of plasma visfatin among female adolescents and changes in plasma visfatin and insulin resistance in obese female adolescents after 12 wk of aerobic exercise training. Twenty normal-weight female students (body-mass index [BMI] < 22.9 kg/m² and body fat ≤ 29.9) and 18 obese female students (BMI ≥ 25 kg/ m² and body fat ≥ 30%) par...

OBJECTIVE To analyze the effect of a single bout of resistance exercise on cardiac autonomic modulation in patients with peripheral artery disease. METHODS Fifteen patients with peripheral artery disease (age: 58.3±4.0 years) underwent the following sessions in a random order: resistance exercise (three sets of 10 repetitions of the six resistance exercises with a workload of 5-7 in the OMNI-...

OBJECTIVES Significant reductions in state anxiety following bouts of aerobic exercise have been consistently noted, whereas changes are generally absent after acute resistance training. However, the influence of a single exercise session involving both modes on state anxiety has not been examined. METHODS To address this, state anxiety responses to 60 minutes of cross training were examined ...
