Background & Aims: Numerous studies have reported the renoprotective effects of exercise in both human and animal models of diabetic nephropathy. However, detailed mechanism of action by which exercise has a favorable influence on renal fibrogenic factors is not yet fully understood. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the effect of swimming exercise on the activity ...

in aim of this research was to investigate the effect of a decrease in the number of practice sessions and an increase in exercise intensity on aerobic and anaerobic power, body fat percentage, and body mass index. 80 subjects (average age: 20.2±1.53 years and height: 160.18±5.43cm) were divided into 4 groups (3 experimental groups and one control group). the experimental groups exercised with ...

Objective(s): Increasing evidence suggests that regular physical exercise improves type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the potential beneficial effects of swimming on insulin resistance and lipid disorder in T2DM, and its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Materials and Methods: Rats were fed with high fat diet and given a low dosage of Streptozotocin (STZ) to induce T2DM model, and su...

the aim of this study was to compare the effect of one swimming session in different water temperatures (23, 33 and 38̊ c) on the appetite, calorie intake, calorie consumption, food liking, and the amount of blood lactate in female students. the research design was semi-experimental and 12 female volunteers (mean age 20.83 ± 1.3 yr, bmi 20.46 ± 2.68 kg/m², weight 53.6 ± 5.46 kg) from university ...

Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrinological pathologies in women during their reproductive years with ovulatory dysfunction, abdominal obesity, hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance. The aim of the present research was to evaluate the total antioxidant capacity (TAC), total oxidant status (TOS), free testosterone, ovarian morphology and estrous cy...

purpose the aim of this study was to investigate the relation between anthropometric variables and total race time including split times in 184 recreational male ironman triathletes. methods body mass, body height, body mass index, lengths and circumferences of imbs, thicknesses of skin-folds, sum of skin-fold thicknesses, and percent body fat were related to total race time including split tim...

NEW FINDINGS What is the central question of this study? Do the mechanical differences between swimming, rowing, running and cycling have a potential effect on the oxygen uptake (V̇O2) off-kinetics after an exercise sustained until exhaustion at 100% of maximal oxygen uptake (V̇O2max) intensity? What is the main finding and its importance? The mechanical differences between exercise modes had a p...

BACKGROUND/AIM Evidence for the long-term health effects of specific sport disciplines is scarce. Therefore, we examined the associations of six different types of sport/exercise with all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality risk in a large pooled Scottish and English population-based cohort. METHODS Cox proportional hazards regression was used to investigate the associations betw...
