background and aims: it is well known that dyslipidemia is related to cardiovascular disease, dietary aspect and obesity play an important role in cvd risk factor. in the present study, we investigated the relationship between calorie intake, anthropometrical parameters and serum lipids in apparently healthy women. methods: the subject were 90 healthy women aged between 20-55 who were taken par...

The aim of the study was to compare oxidative/antioxidative status in obese and sport trained children and to correlate obtained redox markers with anthropometrical measurements, body composition parameters, and adipokines levels. 78 (44 males) obese (SG) and 80 (40 males) normal weight sport trained (CG) children matched for age and Tanner stage were recruited for the study. Body composition p...

Spectral parameters of the surface electromyographic (EMG) signal from lumbar back muscles assessed during a fatiguing isometric contraction can be used to classify different categories of low back pain (LBP) subjects and control subjects without LBP. In the test protocol currently used at the NeuroMuscular Research Center at Boston University, subjects contract their back muscles at 80% of the...

conclusions the study revealed the significance of anthropometric variables related to heading, such as age and head perimeter. therefore, it was concluded that these variables should be considered when teaching and practicing the heading technique with players of different ages and anthropometric sizes. results significant correlations existed between the force exerted on the head during headi...

Human locomotion simulation along a curved path is presented. The process adds a small constant cost (O(1)) to any pre-existing straight line walking algorithm. The input curve is processed by the foot print generator to produce a foot print sequence. The resulting sequence is scanned by the walking motion generator that actually generates the poses of the walking that realizes such foot prints...

On the basis of comprehensive anthropometrical observation of 1st and 2nd year students from different faculties of Moscow State University (MSU) carried out in 2002-2003, functional characteristics of the cardiovascular system (systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate) were investigated in 205 young men and 327 young women along with traditional morphological parameters. In comparison...

The purpose of the present study was to determine the function and oxidative status in kidney and liver using a model of obesity induced by neonatal treatment of rats with monosodium glutamate, and to investigate the association of these metabolic changes with antioxidant enzymes, oxidative stress and NO generation. Methods: neonate male Wistar rats were subcutaneously injected, with monosodium...

OBJECTIVE To assess the relationship between primary hypothyroidism and subclinical atherosclerosis and its potential changes with L-thyroxine replacement therapy. METHODS A prospective cohort study including 101 patients with primary hypothyroidism and 101 euthyroid patients as controls was conducted from July 2011 to December 2013. Clinical, anthropometrical, biochemical, and ultrasonograph...
