the aim of this study was to determine the short-term (1 session) and long-term (36 sessions) effects of various exercise training (endurance, sprint, and combined) on plasmatic indexes of muscle damages (lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase, and malondialdehyde). for this purpose, 40 young rats (3 months old) were randomly divided into four groups including control, endurance, sprint, and co...

Objective(s): Long-term, irregular endurance exercise may result in disturbance to the angiogenesis of heart muscles and blood supply. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effects of mid- and long-term endurance exercise on the process of angiogenesis.Materials and Methods: Eighteen male Wister rats of 220±10 g, were randomly assigned to three groups of 6 rats including: Control, Mid...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of endurance, resistance and concurrent training on plasma leptin levels of male students. for this purpose, 48 male university students (mean age 21.45 years) participated in this study. subjects were randomly assigned to three exercise groups: endurance group (n=12), resistance group (n=12) and concurrent group (n=12) and a control group (n=...

BACKGROUND The aim of this prospective randomized controlled trial was to investigate if a short-term endurance or combined endurance/resistance exercise program was sufficient to improve aerobic capacity and maximum force in adult patients (18-65 years) with multiple sclerosis (MS). METHODS All patients performed a three-month exercise program consisting of two training sessions per week, la...

Studies over the last 5–10 yrs have clearly demonstrated the benefits of rehabilitation programmes on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients9 exercise capacity, quality of life, and utilisa-tion of healthcare resources. Despite these achievements , several unanswered questions need to be addressed to further improve the outcome of rehabilitation in COPD. The effects of exercise t...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A nontraditional form of exercise recently applied for patients with Parkinson disease (PD) is boxing training. The primary purpose of this case series is to describe the effects of disease severity and duration of boxing training (short term and long term) on changes in balance, mobility, and quality of life for patients with mild or moderate to severe PD. The feasibilit...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare adaptations in functional and quality of life measures following endurance- and resistance-exercise training in people with multiple sclerosis. DESIGN Cross-over design with an eight-week washout period. SETTING Community health centre. SUBJECTS Sixteen individuals with multiple sclerosis. INTERVENTION Subjects completed both an eight-w...

The present article reviews the physiological and performance effects of speed endurance training consisting of exercise bouts at near maximal intensities in already trained subjects. Despite a reduction in training volume, speed endurance training of endurance-trained athletes can maintain the oxidative capacity and improve intense short-duration/repeated high-intensity exercise performance la...
