PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES To test the effects of aerobic and resistance exercise on changes in bone mineral density (BMD) in women newly diagnosed with stage I-III breast cancer receiving chemotherapy. DESIGN Randomized clinical trial. SETTING Two National Cancer Institute-designated cancer centers in metropolitan areas. SAMPLE 66 women with stage I-III breast cancer beginning adjuvant chemother...

OBJECTIVE To compare the aerobic exercise capacity and pulmonary function between athletes with and without type 1 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Fifty-one adult age-matched individuals were assessed in random order to the maximum volume of O(2) consumption (Vo(2 peak max)) (ml/kg/min), anaerobic threshold (ml/kg/min), peak pulmonary ventilation (Ve), heart rate (beats per min), time t...

12 13 SUMMARY 14 Weibel and Taylor " s theory of symmorphosis predicts that the structural components of the 15 respiratory system are quantitatively adjusted to satisfy, but not exceed, an animal " s maximum 16 requirement for oxygen. We test this in the respiratory system of the adult migratory locust Locusta 17 migratoria by comparing the aerobic capacity of hopping and flight muscle with th...

Introduction: ascorbic acid is a water-soluble vitamin solved in water that acts as a helper of some the enzymes in the reactions of energy metabolism. Thus, the study aims to investigate the use of supplemental ascorbic acid on the aerobic and anaerobic capacity of the children.Methodology: Participants of this quasi-experimental study were 18 children in Esfahan who were randomly selected and...

Habitat loss and climate change are rapidly converting natural habitats and thereby increasing the significance of dispersal capacity for vulnerable species. Flight is necessary for dispersal in many insects, and differences in dispersal capacity may reflect dissimilarities in flight muscle aerobic capacity. In a large metapopulation of the Glanville fritillary butterfly in the Åland Islands in...

Background Blackcurrant intake has been reported to increase peripheral blood flow in humans [1], potentially by anthocyanin-induced vasorelaxation and vasodilation [2]. Increased peripheral blood flow may affect the exercise intensity at lactate indicators (e.g. onset of blood lactate accumulation (OBLA) at 4 mmol L) and maximum oxygen uptake. We examined the effect of 1-week Sujon blackcurran...
