background: high intensity interval training (hiit) is a novel training method which has received most attention in recent years. the aim of this study was to examine the effect of 8 weeks of high intensity interval training (hiit) on plasma levels of adiponectin and leptin in overweight nurses. m aterials and methods: 27 nurses (mean age 25.81±60 years, height 158.01±67 cm and weight 69.41±25 ...

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of 2 days/week versus 4 days/week of Whole Body Vibration (WBV) during eight weeks of WBV training on health-related quality of life (SF-36), balance and lower body strength, as well as short-term detraining (3 weeks) on balance and lower body strength among older adults. Thirty-four older adults were randomly assigned to a control group (Con...

Aerial respiratory behavior in the pond snail Lymnaea was operantly conditioned so that snails learned not to perform aerial respiration in a hypoxic environment. Snails were trained in either the standard context (no food odorant) or a carrot (foododorant) context. An operant training procedure of two 45-min training sessions with a 1-h interval between the sessions followed by a third 45-min ...

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=...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 8 weeks of endurance and resistance training on the activity of g4 acetyl cholinesterase in fhl and soleus muscles of rats. 24 male wistar rats (age: 10 weeks and weight: 171.94±8.961 gr) were randomly divided into 3 groups (control, endurance training (et) and resistance training (rt)). et and rt groups carried out 8 weeks (5 sessions per ...

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of combined strength and plyometric training with strength training alone on power-related measurements in professional soccer players. Subjects in the intervention team were randomly divided into 2 groups. Group ST (n = 6) performed heavy strength training twice a week for 7 weeks in addition to 6 to 8 soccer sessions a week. Group ST+P (n =...
