Age predicted maximum heart rates based on the formula 220-age have long been used in fitness and clinical settings to gauge exercise intensity and predict exercise test end points. Exercise stress tests have in some cases been routinely terminated based on the attainment of this equation, despite recommendations that age predicted maximum heart rates should not be used as an exercise test endp...

the pathophysiology of primary benign exertional headache (eh) is not still clearly defined. some researchers have suggested an impaired vascular response as the etiology of this disorder. in this study we investigated whether there are any differences in blood pressure (bp) and heart rate (hr) of the subjects in course of the static and dynamic exercises and the treadmill stress test between t...

Background Systematic reviews have shown that most exercise studies for scoliosis treatment lacked standardization of exercise prescription. Schroth exercise prescription is based on scoliosis curve type with specific exercises designed to target different aspects of the spinal curve and different areas of the body. The intensity of exercises is increased based on patient capacity. There may be...

BACKGROUND Aquatic and land based exercise are frequently prescribed to maintain function for people with arthritis. The relative efficacy of these rehabilitation strategies for this population has not been established.This review investigated the effects of aquatic compared to land based exercise on function, mobility or participants' perception of programs for people with arthritis. METHODS...

GlycA is a new composite measure of systemic inflammation and a predictor of many inflammatory diseases. GlycA is the nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy-derived signal arising from glucosamine residues on acute-phase proteins. This study aimed to evaluate how exercise-based lifestyle interventions modulate GlycA in persons at risk for type 2 diabetes. GlycA, fitness, and body habitus were ...
