purpose to investigate the effects of a 10-week water aerobic exercise on the resting blood pressure in patients with stage 1 or 2 hypertension referring to tehran university clinics. methods forty men with stage 1 or 2 essential hypertension were assigned to two groups of intervention [n = 12; aged 48.33±10.74 years (mean±sd)] and control [n = 28; aged 46.96±11.58 years (mean±sd)]. subjects in...

BACKGROUND Results of previous studies have shown that exercise training can improve cognitive functions in healthy older people. Some studies have demonstrated that long-term combination exercise training can facilitate memory function improvement better than either aerobic or strength exercise training alone. Nevertheless, it remains unclear whether short-term combination exercise training ca...

Exercise limitation is a common and disturbing manifestation of COPD. The exercise intolerance is often caused by multiple interrelated anatomic and physiologic disturbances. Importantly, exercise tolerance can be improved despite the presence of fixed structural abnormalities in the lung. Exercise training, undertaken alone or in the context of comprehensive PR, improves exercise endurance and...

Regular physical activity and exercise training have long been known to cause adaptations to white adipose tissue (WAT), including decreases in cell size and lipid content and increases in mitochondrial proteins. In this article, we discuss recent studies that have investigated the effects of exercise training on mitochondrial function, the "beiging" of WAT, regulation of adipokines, metabolic ...

Creatine kinase (CK) is a marker for muscle cell damage with limited potential as marker for training load in strength training. Recent exercise studies identified cell free DNA (cfDNA) as a marker for aseptic inflammation and cell damage. Here we overserved in a pilot study the acute effects during strength exercise and chronic effects of regular strength training on cfDNA concentrations over ...

purpose: doing plyometric training with and without the vessel occlusion is an effective practice for rapid increase of muscles strength their hypertrophy. we evaluated the effects of plyometric training with and without the vessel occlusion on electromyographic parameters. methods: in this quasi-experimental study, 22 females were selected through convenience sampling method. they were randoml...

Introduction: Effects of exercise on different body systems, especially cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems are evidenced. There is a dynamic homeostatic balance between coagulation and fibrinolysis in normal circulation. Effect of exercise and training on this homeostatic balance has been studied extensively but there are a few studies with regards to analysis of the effects of train...

We designed two experiments to investigate the relationship between ventilation (VE) and CO2 output (VCO2) during exercise under the conditions of exercising different limbs, the arms as opposed to the legs (experiment 1), and of different physical training states after undergoing standard exercise training for 90 d (experiment 2). Six healthy young subjects underwent submaximal ramp exercise a...

[Purpose] The primary objective of this study was to investigate the effect of low-intensity exercise training compare with high-intensity exercise training on endoplasmic reticulum stress and glucagon-like peptide-1 in adolescents with type 2 diabetes mellitus. [Subjects and Methods] The low-intensity exercise training group performed aerobic exercise training at an intensity of ≤ 45% of the h...
