We hypothesized that all-out running speeds for efforts lasting from a few seconds to several minutes could be accurately predicted from two measurements: the maximum respective speeds supported by the anaerobic and aerobic powers of the runner. To evaluate our hypothesis, we recruited seven competitive runners of different event specialties and tested them during treadmill and overground runni...

it is important for people to improve cognitive and motor performance. the purpouse of this study was to investigate the effect of running on treadmill in spatial memory and learning and motor performance. 24 albino-wistar healthy male rats were randomly divided into control and activity groups. activity group ran 7 days on treadmill (speed 22m/min 30 minutes a day). after the end of activity p...

The study aimed to investigate the effect of acutely consuming high-dose isolated 6 g taurine 90 min before incremental treadmill-running time exhaustion (TTE) performance on maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max), heart rate (HRmax), TTE, and ratings perceived exertion (RPE). A total ten well-trained, competitive male endurance (biathlon) athletes participated in this study. double-blind, randomized c...

Background Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most frequent female endocrine disorder that affects 5-10% of women. PCOS is characterized by hyperandrogenism, oligo-/anovulation, and polycystic ovaries. The aim of the present research is to evaluate the expression of steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) and aromatase (CYP19) mRNA in the ovaries of an estradiol valerate (EV)-induc...

Exercise is recommended for the treatment of type 2 diabetes because of its benefits on body weight and glycemic control. Our recent work using the db/db mouse, a model that mimics the phenotype of type 2 diabetes, demonstrated that forced treadmill training exerted detrimenttal effects on obesity, hyperglycemia and insulin resistance. We investigated whether this response is explained by incre...

[Purpose] The purpose of the present study was to investigate if lactate thresholds in rats could be accurately determined during downhill running in rats. [Subjects] Twenty-four female Wistar rats were used in this study. Rats were randomly divided into two groups: the level running group and downhill running group. [Methods] Catheters were inserted into the right external jugular veins of the...
