چکیده

the aim of the study was to develop a non-exercise vo2max predictive model using a physical activity (pa) variable determined by pedometer-determined step counts (sc: steps/day) in active lifestyle men aged between 40 and 65. for this purpose, 69 subjects were used to develop and validate the new model. vo2max was measured using rockport fitness walking test. anthropometric variables were measured. pa was measured by a pedometer (hj-113 omron, japan) throughout the day for two consecutive weeks. the results showed a significant correlation between vo2max and independent (anthropometric and daily steps) variables (p>0.05). there was a significant relationship between sc and vo2max (partial correlation coefficient r=0.70, p

Relationship between Daily Step Counts with Anthropometric Risk Factors of the Cardiovascular System in Hamadanian Middle Aged Men

Introduction & Objective: Physical activity (PA) is inversely associated with obesity but the effect has been difficult to quantify using questionnaires. Pedometers provide an opportunity to better characterize the association. The aim of present study was to examine the relationship between pedometer-determined PA (steps/day) and anthropometric risk factors of the cardiovascular system (CVS)...

An accurate VO2max nonexercise regression model for 18-65-year-old adults.

The purpose of this study was to develop a regression equation to predict maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) based on nonexercise (N-EX) data. All participants (N = 100), ages 18-65 years, successfully completed a maximal graded exercise test (GXT) to assess VO2max (M = 39.96 mL x kg(-1) x min(-1), SD = 9.54). The N-EX data collected just before the maximal GXT included the participant's age; gende...

A 65-Year-Old Female from Connecticut with Orf Infection

The virus, which causes orf and induces acute pustular skin lesions in sheep and goats, is transmissible to humans yet is rarely observed in North America. We present a case of a 65-year-old female farmer from Connecticut who contracted orf from her sheep. The clinical and histopathologic features, important to arrive at the correct diagnosis of this uncommon yet important infection, are descri...

A 65-year-old man with transient monocular vision loss.

What are the possible causes of the vision loss in this patient? Transient monocular vision loss, previously known as amaurosis fugax, has numerous causes. These include thromboembolic events (e.g., valvular heart disease and atherosclerosis of the carotid artery), hypoperfusion (e.g., stenosis of the carotid artery and ocular ischemic syndrome), ocular causes (e.g., impending or partial occlus...
