Hyperthermia-induced hyperventilation has been proposed to be a human thermolytic thermoregulatory response and to contribute to the disproportionate increase in exercise ventilation (VE) relative to metabolic needs during high-intensity exercise. In this study it was hypothesized that VE would adapt similar to human eccrine sweating (E(SW)) following a passive heat acclimation (HA). All partic...

BACKGROUND The effect of massage on recovery from high intensity exercise is debatable. Many studies on massage suffer from methodological flaws such as poor standardisation of previous exercise, lack of dietary control, and inappropriate massage duration. OBJECTIVE To examine the effects of leg massage compared with passive recovery on lactate clearance, muscular power output, and fatigue ch...

Cholinergic urticaria is a relatively common condition defined by itching, redness and whealing induced exercise passive warming. In turn, acquired idiopathic generalized anhidrosis rare disorder of unknown pathogenesis, characterized an impairment in total body sweating despite exposure to heat or exercise. We report two cases this extremely association cholinergic hypohidrosis, briefly review...

Objectives: A functional helpful exercise that tends to correct postural unevenness and endeavours to re-establish lumbo-pelvic mechanics would appear to be beneficial for patients with postural impairment. This study evaluated the effects of right sidelying respiratory left adductor pull back exercise on improving hip biomechanics in participants with a tendency to stand on right side. Method...

The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of daily passive exercise using a horseback riding machine (Joba) on insulin sensitivity and resting metabolism in middle-aged, diabetic patients. Participants were 24 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients aged 59 +/- 8 years (mean +/- SD; range from 43 to 75 years of age). Patients were randomly divided into control (normal lifestyle) and J...

Hyperthermia induces hyperventilation and cerebral hypoperfusion in resting humans. We tested the hypothesis that short-term exercise-heat acclimation would alleviate those effects. Twenty healthy male subjects were divided into two groups that performed exercise training in the heat (TR-HEAT, n = 10) or cold (TR-COLD, n = 10). Before and after the training, the subjects in both groups particip...

In heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction, their hemodynamic parameters usually change when they are from recumbent to passive leg raising. The authors designed this study to investigate the relationship between hemodynamic parameters measured by impedance cardiography (ICG) and 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF). We recruite...

This paper describes a dialogue-based CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning) system. One of the major problems in CALL systems is that learners are usually assigned a passive role. Learners have no practices in composing their own utterances. The other major problem is that lots of conventional CALL systems are pronunciation exercise systems. However, pronunciation exercise is only a part o...

Arterial occlusion of the upper limb did not affect the fibrinolytic activity in the venous blood of that limb; venous occlusion associated with venous distension resulted in a marked rise in activity. Local fibrinolytic activity was increased substantially by active exercise; passive exercise induced a smaller increase. Active exercise undertaken during arterial occlusion did not result in a r...

introduction: effects of exercise on different body systems, especially cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems are evidenced. there is a dynamic homeostatic balance between coagulation and fibrinolysis in normal circulation. effect of exercise and training on this homeostatic balance has been studied extensively but there are a few studies with regards to analysis of the effects of training...
