With the continuous development of social economy and standard of living, people are placing more and more emphasize on the health problem. Moreover, the idea that health can not be brought is filtering into people's minds, which influences people's life style, making people's interests to the health issue. This provides a stage to the health club which is operated for profits. Varieties of fit...

Study purpose. This study purpose was to investigate whether health-related physical fitness is associated with total and central body fat in school children aged 6–10 years.
 Materials methods. A of 2197 Macedonian years (1096 boys 1101 girls) participated the study. Health-related measured by modified EUROFIT test battery: 20 m shuttle run (cardiorespiratory fitness); handgrip strength t...

BACKGROUND Incarceration has been associated with reduced physical activity. However, physical inactivity is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. The aim of the present study was therefore, to evaluate the incidence and relationship between the measures of physical fitness and the duration of incarceration in of inmates in Kano-Nigeria prisons. METHOD A cross-sectional study was done to ...

background: the people residing in coastal areas of visakhapatnam are mostly engaged in fishery, which is always been a physically demanding job, and numerous factors have direct or indirect impact on the health of fishermen; but, the data about their physical fitness or health status is quite scanty. thus, the present study was conducted to assess their cardiorespiratory fitness pattern, as we...

Mutants of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium resistant to fusidic acid (Fusr) have mutations in fusA, the gene encoding translation elongation factor G (EF-G). Most Fusr mutants have reduced fitness in vitro and in vivo, in part explained by mutant EF-G slowing the rate of protein synthesis and growth. However, some Fusr mutants with normal rates of protein synthesis still suffer from red...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between cognitive control and metabolic syndrome (MetS) risk factors in preadolescent children while controlling for aerobic fitness and weight status. METHODS Hierarchical regression analyses were conducted using aerobic fitness, demographic, and MetS risk-factor variables in a sample of 2nd- and 3rd-grade children (n = 139) who performed a modified ...

OBJECTIVE To examine whether elevated resting heart rate (RHR) is an independent risk factor for mortality or a mere marker of physical fitness (VO2Max). METHODS This was a prospective cohort study: the Copenhagen Male Study, a longitudinal study of healthy middle-aged employed men. Subjects with sinus rhythm and without known cardiovascular disease or diabetes were included. RHR was assessed...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine the association between fitness and lifetime risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). BACKGROUND Higher levels of traditional risk factors are associated with marked differences in lifetime risks for CVD. However, data are sparse regarding the association between fitness and the lifetime risk for CVD. METHODS We followed up 11,049 men who ...

AIM The purpose of this study was to investigate whether physical fitness variables are related to overweight or obesity in Korean women. METHODS From 2007 to 2011, 10,790 women aged 20-82 years visited a public health centre for evaluation of cardiovascular function, health-related physical fitness, and motor-related physical fitness. We used the definitions of overweight and obesity provide...

Various techniques of fitness landscape analysis for the determination of optimisation problem hardness for evolutionary algorithms are proposed in the literature. However, a few implementations of these techniques and their application in practice are described nowadays. In the paper comparative statistical and information analysis for benchmark fitness functions such as Sphere, Rastrigin, Ros...
