background: parkinson's disease as a progressive disorder of the nervous system leads to the disability of postural control system. objectives: in the present study the effects of pilates exercises on functional balance in patients with parkinson's was investigated. materials and methods: this control trial included 30 patients with idiopathic parkinson's disease who were selecte...

background: work related musculoskeletal disorders (msds) are considered the most common cause loss of work time, increased costs and human injuries. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of planned exercise movements to reduce musculoskeletal disorders (msds) and burnout in the computer users. method: in this study, the effects of exercise movements using the software were review...

Introduction: Cerebral ischemia and reperfusion causes physiological and biochemical changes in the neuronal cells that will eventually lead to cell damage. Evidence indicates that exercise reduces the ischemia and reperfusion-induced brain damages in animal models of stroke. In the present study, the effect of exercise preconditioning on brain edema and neurological movement disorders followin...

the aim of this study was to investigate the acute effects of two resistance exercise protocols with slow and fast movements on some anabolic and catabolic hormones. hence, in a randomized crossover design, 10 young men (age: 23.3±1.76 yr) were divided into 3 groups: control (con), resistance exercise with slow movement (sm), and resistance exercise with fast movement (fm). subjects performed 6...

the aim of this study was to compare the effects of substitution of upper and lower body exercises during rest intervals on the quantity of upper body performance and lactate with 75% 1rm (repetition maximum). for this purpose, 15 trained bodybuilders (age 20.9±1.9 years, weight 74.8±5.2 kg and aerobic power 35.48±8.6 ml/kg/min) took part in this study voluntarily. all subjects performed four t...

background and objectives: it has been shown that a bout of jumping exercise with weighted vests increases the subsequent countermovement jump height. however, it is not clear whether the improvement in jump height is due to the enhancement of joint power or due to other mechanisms such as neural adaptations. methods: to investigate this dichotomy, we tested the acute neuromechanical changes fo...
