background: osteoporosis is one of the most common metabolic bone diseases. the purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of a walking education program based on the health belief model (hbm) on osteoporosis among women.   material and methods in this quasi-experimental research design, 120 patients (60 experimental and 60 control),who were registered with the health centers in fasa ci...

This randomized trial proposed to determine if there were differences in calf muscle StO(2) parameters in patients before and after 12 weeks of a traditional walking or walking-with-poles exercise program. Data were collected on 85 patients who were randomized to a traditional walking program (n = 40) or walking-with-poles program (n = 45) of exercise training. Patients walked for 3 times weekl...

Home-based exercise training, applied as the primary treatment in patients with intermittent claudication, has produced inconsistent effects on walking capacity in previous published studies. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether a home-based exercise training program could maintain improved walking capacity and other functional variables achieved through a supervised exercise tr...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study were to investigate the effects of a 12-week brisk walking program on triglycerides (TG) and apolipoprotein B (Apo B) and to compare these effects to those of a brisk walking plus diet program in middle-aged overweight/obese (BMI> or =23) Korean women with hypertriglyceridemia. METHOD This analysis was done with nineteen middle-aged overweight/obese Korean wo...

objectives: the purpose of current semi-experimental study was a survey on effect abstract  of 16 week walking on psychosocial functioning related to quality of life among 60 to 75 years old men. methods & materials: for this reason, short form of health-related quality of life questionnaire (sf-36) and geriatric depression scale (gds) had been distributed to the subjects at 2 times of pre-test...

Owing to their versatility, graph structures admit representations of intricate relationships between the separate entities comprising data. We formalise notion connection two vertex sets in terms edge and features by introducing graph-walking programs. give algorithms for mining deterministic programs that yield order increasing length. These characterise linear long-distance given context who...

The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of a 12-week multimodal exercise rehabilitation program on walking speed, walking ability and activities of daily living (ADLs) among people who had suffered a stroke. Thirty-one stroke survivors who had completed a conventional rehabilitation program voluntarily participated in the study. Twenty-six participants completed the multimodal ...

the purpose of this study was to compare the effect of a walking (8wk) training program on quality, quantity and some physiological parameters related to sleep in old men. twenty elderly healthy men (age 72.4?7.24 years, height: 163.59?6.11 cm, weight 68.31?9.19kg) were selected randomly and were divided into two groups [walking (n=10) and control (n=10)]. the walking group exercised for eight ...

Gait disturbances are one of the principal and most incapacitating symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). In addition, walking economy is impaired in PD patients and could contribute to excess fatigue in this population. An important number of studies have shown that treadmill training can improve kinematic parameters in PD patients. However, the effects of treadmill and overground walking on th...
