PURPOSE To investigate the effects of a sport-specific maximal 6-wk strength and conditioning program on critical velocity (CV), anaerobic running distance (ARD), and 5-km time-trial performance (TT). METHODS 16 moderately trained recreational endurance runners were tested for CV, ARD, and TT performances on 3 separate occasions (baseline, midstudy, and poststudy). DESIGN Participants were ...

chronic inflammation is an integral part of cardiovascular disease and high blood pressure was found to be associated with endothelial dysfunction. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of endurance training and galbanum supplement on parameters related to vascular function includes endothelial selectin(e-selectin) and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor(ace-i) as inflammatory fa...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 8 weeks of endurance and resistance training on the activity of g4 acetyl cholinesterase in fhl and soleus muscles of rats. 24 male wistar rats (age: 10 weeks and weight: 171.94±8.961 gr) were randomly divided into 3 groups (control, endurance training (et) and resistance training (rt)). et and rt groups carried out 8 weeks (5 sessions per ...

The current study was designed to test the hypothesis that endurance training improves the ability of the diaphragm muscle to resist exercise-induced oxidative stress. Twenty-eight male Wistar rats were assigned to either untrained or trained groups. Trained rats were treadmill-trained for 9 wk. Each group was subdivided into acutely exercised or nonexercised groups. Diaphragm muscle from each ...

extra-cellular levels (serum) of heat shock protein 70 is influenced by various stressors such as exercise and it has been shown that this protein affects the proinflammatory cytokines in human and animal samples. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of endurance training on serum levels of proinflammatory cytokines (tnf-?, il-1?, il-6 and hsp70) in trained and untrained rats. fo...
