introduction: it appears that some risk factors for coronary heart diseases (chd) initiate their influence in the childhood period and their clinical complications start to take effect in adulthood. it is possible that adolescent active or sedentary boys, have other inflammatory silent risk factors of chd, in addition to routine risk factors such as lipid profile. however, the scientific data a...

BACKGROUND Obesity and poor physical fitness constitute a health problem affecting an increasing number of children. Causes include a pervasive "toxic" environment that facilitates increased caloric intake and reduced physical activity. An effective strategy for prevention and treatment of childhood obesity likely includes a collaborative effort in the school setting. OBJECTIVE To determine w...

Objectives: Health is defined as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being. Materials Methods: Humans have settled in both urban rural areas, which might influenced people their physiology different ways. Results: Cardiovascular fitness marker proper functioning the whole body associated with many health-related outcomes, poor leading to development cardiovascular diseases (CV...

AIM The purpose of this study was to investigate whether physical fitness variables are related to overweight or obesity in Korean women. METHODS From 2007 to 2011, 10,790 women aged 20-82 years visited a public health centre for evaluation of cardiovascular function, health-related physical fitness, and motor-related physical fitness. We used the definitions of overweight and obesity provide...

OBJECTIVES To identify the role of fitness, fitness change, body mass index and other factors in predicting long-term (>5 years) survival in patients with coronary heart disease. DESIGN Cohort study of patients with coronary heart disease recruited from 1 January 1993 to 31 December 2002, followed up to March 2011 (1 day to 18 years 3 months, mean 10.7 years). SETTING A community-based Nati...

purpose : the present study was designed to evaluate the effects of aerobic and strength training on cardiac variables such as blood pressure, heart rate (hr), and metabolic parameters like cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (hdl), triglycerides and anthropometric parameters of obese women of punjab .   methods: this study was performed as an experimental study, in which subjects were random...

Physical activity in adults is associated with a lower risk of obesity, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, and premature death. There is considerable evidence that cardiovascular disease has its origins in childhood and adolescence. Lipid and lipoprotein profiles, blood pressure, and adiposity in young people tend to persist over their lifetimes (tracking).1 There is...
