Study of physical-motor fitness level of scholarship male students in a military center and determination of current status

Background and Aim: Measurement and evaluation of physical activity and physical fitness are essential because without proper basic data, proper planning can’t be made to improve and promote physical fitness. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the level of health and skill-related physical fitness of male students in a military center in order to manage the students' physical fitn...

Effects of ionic parameters on behavior of a skeletal muscle fiber model

All living cells have a membrane which separates inside the cell from it's outside. There is a potential difference between inside and outside of the cell. This potential difference will change during an action potential. It is quite common to peruse action potentials of skeletal muscle fibers with the Hodgkin-Huxley model. Since Hodgkin and Huxley summarized some controlling currents like inwa...

Comparison of Hyperpolarization-Activiated Current “if ” on the Rate of Spontaneous Activity and Cycle Length before and after Cutting of Atrial Muscle away from Intact Sinoatrial Node of Rabbit

It has been shown that the hyperpolarization-activated current “if” that is blocked by 2 mM Cs+ plays a minor role on pacemaker activity of the center and a major role on activity of the periphery of rabbit intact sino-atrial node. On the other hand some investigations showed that if the atrial muscle, surrounding the sino-atrial node, is cut away there is a shift in leading pacemaker site from...

The Effect of Resistance Training and Endothelial Stem Cell Injection on Skeletal Muscle Oxidant and Antioxidant Status in STZ-Induced Diabetic Male Rats

Background: Because insulin therapy cannot properly control the progression of diabetes and its complications, other alternative therapies may be desirable. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of resistance training and endothelial stem cell injection on skeletal muscle oxidant and antioxidant status in STZ-induced diabetic male rats. Method: In this experimental study, 36 male...

Assessment of nutritional status in patients with Parkinson’s disease and its relationship with severity of the disease

Background: Malnutrition, loss of body weight, muscle and fat mass wasting are common in patients with Parkinson's disease, and are associated with disability, longer length of hospital stay, impaired immune system and increased risk of mortality. The aim of this study was to assess the nutritional status in patients with Parkinson's disease and its relation to the severity of the disease. &...
