Post-exercise hypotension (PEH) may follow a session of physical exercises. This effect has high clinical relevance for hypertensive individuals. Although there are several studies on the subject, an analysis is still lacking on a state-of-art approach considering different types of exercises. Using a review of literature, the aim of this paper was to verify the relationship between aerobic exe...

Background: The risk of endothelial dysfunction and insulin resistance is higher in type 2 diabetes mellitus which could be modulated with exercise training. However, to our knowledge, there is no clinical studies have addressed which exercise specific type is superior in modulating biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction and insulin resistance for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Objective: This...

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of six months moderate aerobic training on the immune system of aged men using VO2max as indicator and some selective markers of immune system. 40 healthy aged males (60-70 years) were selected and randomly divided into two groups: experimental and control. Before the experiment measurements on VO2max, counts of CD4 and CD8 cells of all subj...

The regular practice of physical exercises is an important factor to reduce morbidity and mortality rates of cardiovascular and all other conditions1,2; there also seems to have further and independent benefits from the practice of physical exercises and improvement of the aerobic condition3-6, which speaks for their being practiced more and more frequently. The American Heart Association recom...

Background and purpose: This study compares the efficacy and durability of an acute aerobic and combined exercise on lipid profile levels of diabetic females. Materials and Methods: In a semi-experimental design, 21 females with Type 2 diabetes (age: 43 ± 4.92 years and body mass index 29.57 ± 4.17) voluntary participated in study and randomly divided into three: Aerobic exercise,...
