purpose: the aim of the current study was investigating the role of philosophy for children (p4c) teaching approach in increasing first grade female high school students reading comprehension in tehran educational five zone. materials and method: from all statistical population 60 students were selected through multi cluster sampling and were assigned to experimental (30) and control (30) group...

there is a substantial evidence that plyometric training significantly increases muscular strength and vertical jump. due to the vigorous nature of this type of training, however, there is a risk of incurring musculoskeletal injuries. therefore, conducting plyometric exercise programs in an aquatic environment might lead to significant improvements in vertical jump with possibly a lower risk of...

background: cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death in the world. the aim of this study was to determine the effect of aerobic exercise on serum inflammatory markers in untrained middle-aged women. methods: nineteen healthy female middle-aged were selected by convenience sampling method and were randomly divided into two experimental (n=11) and control (n=8) groups. the exercis...

BACKGROUND Although studies have investigated the effects of hydration on performance measures, few studies have investigated how the temperature of the ingested liquid affects performance and core temperature during an exercise session. The hypothesis of the present study was that cold water would improve thermoregulation and performance as measured by bench repetitions to fatigue, broad jump ...

due to an increase in obesity, the aim of the present study was to examine the effect of 12 weeks of endurance training on body weight, food intake, plasma acylated ghrelin and pyy3-36 in obese male rats. 16 male wistar rats were fed for 9 weeks with a high fat diet (derived from soybean oil) until they reached mean weight of 319±30 g. the rats were randomly divided into control group (n=8) and...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of one session of continuous exercise on a treadmill on hsp72 and tac levels of the hippocampus of male wistar rats. for this purpose, 20 male wistar rats (weight 165±1 gr. and age 6 to 8 weeks old) were assigned randomly into four groups: one control group and three acute endurance training groups (groups 1,2 and 3 were killed 30 minutes, 4 h...

OBJECTIVES This study evaluated a simple relaxation breathing exercise for acute improvement of postprandial glycemic and insulinemic status. DESIGN Healthy human subjects were randomized to control breathing (CB; n=13) or a relaxation breathing exercise (RB; n=13) that was repeated every 10 minutes for the 30 minutes before and 90 minutes after consuming a glucose challenge (oral glucose tol...

Studies investigating the effect of rest interval length (RI) between sets on neuromuscular performance and metabolic response during power training are scarce. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare maximal power output, muscular activity and blood lactate concentration following 1, 2 or 3 minutes RI between sets during a squat power training protocol. Twelve resistance-trained me...

In introductory computer programming courses, students experience a range of emotions. Students often anxiety and frustration when they encounter difficulties in writing programs. Continued can discourage from pursuing engineering computing careers. Although prior research has shown how emotions affect students’ motivation learning, little is known about courses. this qualitative study first-ye...
