objective(s):consumption of high-fat foods is one of the major causes of obesity. physical exercise is a strategy used to counteract obesity. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of eight weeks endurance training and high-fat diet (hfd) on appetite-regulating hormones in rat plasma. materials and methods:twenty eight male wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: contro...

The present article reviews the physiological and performance effects of speed endurance training consisting of exercise bouts at near maximal intensities in already trained subjects. Despite a reduction in training volume, speed endurance training of endurance-trained athletes can maintain the oxidative capacity and improve intense short-duration/repeated high-intensity exercise performance la...

This investigation evaluated whether moderate-intensity cycle ergometer training affects satellite cell and molecular responses to acute maximal concentric/eccentric resistance exercise in middle-aged women. Baseline and 72 h postresistance exercise vastus lateralis biopsies were obtained from seven healthy middle-aged women (56 ± 5 years, BMI 26 ± 1, VO2max 27 ± 4) before and after 12 weeks of...

Regular endurance training improves performance during tasks that rely mainly on aerobic energy metabolism, in large part by increasing the body’s ability to transport and utilize oxygen and by altering substrate metabolism in working skeletal muscle (Saltin & Gollnick, 1983). In contrast, highintensity “sprint”-type exercise training is generally thought to have less of an effect on oxidative ...

Background Energy supplements are frequently consumed by athletes and recreational fitness enthusiasts as a method of improving exercise performance. Recent research indicates that these types of supplements influence exercise performance by increasing the number of repetitions that can be performed during an acute bout of exercise, thus increasing the total volume of work that can be performed...

despite the preventative and therapeutic effects of regular exercise, exhaustive exercise may be harmful to health. the present study aimed to determine the protective effect of endurance training and cinnamon bark extract (cbe) supplementation on oxidative responses induced by an exhaustive exercise schedule in rats. the rats were randomly divided into the following five groups of 6; control s...

Simultaneously training for both strength and endurance results in a compromised adaptation, compared with training for either exercise mode alone. This has been variously described as the concurrent training effect or the interference effect. It now appears that the genetic and molecular mechanisms of adaptation induced by resistance- and endurance-based training are distinct, with each mode o...

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of endurance training accompany with taking genistein on Intercellular Adhesion Molecule 1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1), and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: Sixty-four rats were divided into eight groups (1; healthy &sacrificed  at the first week, 2; healthy...
