[Purpose] In the present study, we investigated the effect of antecedent exercise on functional recovery and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression following focal cerebral ischemia injury. [Subjects] The rat middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model was employed. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 4 groups. Group I included untreated normal rats (n=10); ...

Hyperactivity in the corticostriatal glutamatergic pathway (CGP) induces basal ganglia dysfunction, contributing to parkinsonian syndrome (PS). Physical exercise can improve PS. However, the effect of exercise on the CGP, and whether this pathway is involved in the improvement of PS, remains unclear. Parkinson's disease (PD) was induced in rats by 6-hydroxydopamine injection into the right medi...

OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy of treadmill exercises and stretching and resistance exercises in improving gait speed, strength, and fitness for patients with Parkinson disease. DESIGN A comparative, prospective, randomized, single-blinded clinical trial of 3 types of physical exercise. SETTING The Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders Center at the University of Maryland and the Ba...

Background Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is accompanied by a complex lower limb pathophysiology resulting in reduced functional capacity and quality of life. We aim to characterize the exercise recovery kinetics in the calf muscle of healthy volunteers by combining treadmill exercise and magnetic resonance (MR) relaxometry (T1, T2 and T2*), and to investigate their relation with age and tre...

OBJECTIVES We sought to compare standard lower extremity vascular laboratory treadmill exercise with the office-based active pedal plantarflexion technique. BACKGROUND Intermittent claudication is relatively common in elderly patients and is an important predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Noninvasive testing using resting and posttreadmill exercise ankle:brachial systolic bl...

P atients with chronic heart failure (CHF) complain of breathlessness and fatigue. Their exercise limitation can be assessed by incremental exercise testing with metabolic gas exchange to derive peak oxygen consumption (pV̇O2). The slope of the relation between ventilation (V̇E) and carbon dioxide production (V̇CO2), V̇E/V̇CO2 can characterise the ventilatory response to exercise. CHF patients have ...

Background. the basal ganglia’s circuit dysfunction has a major role in a range of movement disorders. Some evidence has shown that exercise can improve performance, especially locomotor activity after brain injuries. There was currently insufficient information to define the impacts of intensity, duration, and frequency of different exercises. Objectives. in this study, we examine the r...

Diabetes is a metabolic disorder, and it is considered as a major risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD). In the present study, we evaluated whether treadmill exercise ameliorates progression of AD in relation with glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) activity using streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. For this study, step-down avoidance task, immunohistochemistry for glycogen synthase...

conclusions the role of exercise is greater in the retention than the acquisition phase for recalling past experiences. background stress induced by sleep deprivation can cause degradation of learning in the acquisition phase, and low-intensity exercise can prevent the negative effects of stress. results the results showed that, after seven days of aerobic exercise on a treadmill, the experimen...
