background: the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of exercise training on maximum aerobic capacity, resting heart rate (rhr), blood pressure and anthropometric variables of postmenopausal women with breast cancer. methods : twenty nine women with breast cancer who received surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy with current hormone therapy were divided into two groups; interventi...

Inappropriate TSH hypersecretion was diagnosed in a 34 years old woman. Earlier she had been treated by ablative therapy for hyperthyroidism. The present diagnosis was based on elevated basal serum TSH levels despite elevated serum free thyroid hormone level. Her TSH responses to TRH (peak value 240 mu/I) was high. Her albumin and prealbumin levels were normal. The serum TBG level, alpha subuni...

[Purpose] We compared the effects of acute aerobic exercise following overnight fasting and breakfast on energy substrate and hormone levels in obese male college students. [Subjects and Methods] This crossover study recruited 10 obese male college students with a body mass index >25 kg/m(2) or >20% body fat. One week post-recruitment, the subjects exercised in the morning after an overnight fa...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of resistance exercise training on hemodynamics and cardiac autonomic control in ovariectomized spontaneously hypertensive rats. Female rats were divided into 4 groups: sedentary control (SC), sedentary hypertensive (SH), sedentary hypertensive ovariectomized (SHO), and resistance-trained hypertensive ovariectomized (RTHO). Resistance exercis...

This study compared the fat metabolism between "a single bout of prolonged exercise" and "repeated bouts of exercise" of equivalent exercise intensity and total exercise duration. Seven men performed three trials: 1) a single bout of 60-min exercise (Single); 2) two bouts of 30-min exercise, separated by a 20-min rest between exercise bouts (Repeated); and 3) rest. Each exercise was performed w...

objectives: this study was conducted in order to analyse the effect of flat pyramid loading pattern (fplp) weight training on salivary steroids levels in strength training athletes. methods: eleven elite male weightlifters trained six days per week for one month. five millilitres of unstipulated whole saliva was obtained pre- and five minutes post-exercise at days first, 15th, and 30th. results...

Background: Long-term and intensive physical exercise can change the function of different cells in the immune system in athletes, predisposing them to viral infections such as coronavirus disease (COVID-19). The purpose of this brief report was to provide protocols related to the immune system in athletes to prevent infectious diseases. Methods: To examine immune system res...

A growing body of evidence suggests that exercise may contribute to preventing pathological changes, treating multiple chronic diseases, and reducing mortality and morbidity ratios. Scientific evidence moreover shows that exercise plays a key role in improving health-related physical fitness components and hormone function. Regular exercise training is one of the few strategies that has been st...
