Background: The major effects of regular exercise on diabetes mellitus are glycemic status improvement and amelioration of cardiovascular dysfunctions. This research examines whether moderate-intensity aerobic exercise can change the gene expression of metalloproteinase-2 and angiostatin in diabetic rats' heart tissue. Materials & Methods: In this experimental study, thirty Wistar rats were ca...

We investigated whether 6-week low-intensity aerobic training program used as a supplement to regular dance practice might improve both the aerobic capacity and psychomotor performance in female ballet dancers. To assess their maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) and anaerobic threshold (AT), the dancers performed a standard graded bicycle ergometer exercise test until volitional exhaustion prior to ...

Background The effects of the aerobic exercise on anxiety symptoms in patients with Panic Disorder (PD) remain unclear. Thus, the investigation of possible changes in EEG frontal asymmetry could contribute to understand the relationship among exercise, brain and anxiety. Objective To investigate the acute effects of aerobic exercise on the symptoms of anxiety and the chronic effects of aerobi...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 12 weeks regular aerobic exercise on brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and inflammatory factors in juvenile obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Obesity and T2DM, typically common among adults, have recently become more prevalent in the Korean juvenile population, affecting not only their lipid profiles and oxi...
