BACKGROUND Ankle exercise has been proven to be an effective intervention to increase venous velocity. However, the efficacy of ankle exercise for improving cerebral circulation has not been determined. We hypothesized that ankle exercise in the supine position would be able to increase oxyhemoglobin levels measured at the forehead. METHODS Seventeen community-dwelling elderly women participa...

Breathing is the most basic requirement for having good health. However, unhealthy breathing like overbreathing and hyperventilation will happened easily without any awareness. We propose an experimental breathing movement exercise system Virtual Blowgun System (VBS), offering an easy way of breathing exercise, for people of different physical strength, without space and safety limitations.

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of acute resistance exercise with different movement orders on fatigue parameters (serotonin and rpe test) in non-athlete men (normal weight and obese). 26 male university students were purposively selected and assigned to obese (n-11) and normal weight groups (n=15). in the first session, half of the subjects (both obese and normal) randomly ...

The effect of resistance exercise on blood lipids is not clear yet. The purpose of this study was to examine the cholesterol responses to a heavy resistance leg press exercise emphasizing on the eccentric movement 24 and 48 hours following exercise and to quantify the cardiorespiratory responses of the exercise bout in an attempt to clarify the exercise characteristics that may be responsible f...

menopause is one of the steps in women’s life which is accompanied by reducing physical and psychological abilities. because estrogen and other hormonal influences during menopause affect the brain's regulation of mood, hormonal changes can cause some women to experience anxiety during menopause. anxiety is a psychological state characterized by excessive and persistent worry, tension and ...

Aim: To analyse the relationship between the severity recurrence of old medical injury in exercise and exercise intensity effectively. Method: Carry on the analysis of 4000 students, being from different sports institute who are medically injured from January 2015 to December 2015, and make a detailed research for the relationship between the severity recurrence of old medical injury in exercis...

Background: Semi-recumbent cycling exercise has been used as a strategy to complement gait retraining in individuals with disordered walking ability. However, seated elliptical stepping might be a more potent exercise modality for this purpose. Yet, there has not been a kinematic analysis of elliptical stepping exercise, whereby the movement path is produced by a slider-crank mechanism. This st...

Configuration of the exercise stimulus in resitance training has been traditionally associated with a combination of the so-called 'acute resistance exercise variables' (exercise type and order, loading, number of repetitions and sets, rests duration and movement velocity). During typical resistance exercise in isoinertial conditions, and assuming every repetition is performed with maximal volu...
