[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the activation of the vastus medialis oblique muscle (VMO) and vastus lateralis muscle (VL) during squat exercise with various hip adduction loads using a pressure-biofeedback unit, and to suggest the most effective exercise method. [Subjects] We recruited 15 healthy adult females with no pain in the knee joint and no other orthopedic probl...

Multiple-herbicide-resistant (MHR) Canada fleabane [Conyza canadensis (L.) Cronq.] control has become a major concern for corn producers in Ontario. Postemergence (POST) herbicides are critical the of emerged MHR corn. A study that consisted five field experiments was conducted southwestern Ontario fields with confirmed to evaluate various herbicide mixtures applied POST Glyphosate + 2,4-D amin...

results no significant changes were observed in serum potassium, phosphorus and calcium levels at the end of the passive exercise program compared to the baseline. however, phosphorus levels were significantly decreased in the active exercise program (p < 0.05). moreover, the mean diastolic blood pressure was significantly decreased after the passive exercise (p = 0.039). passive exercise did n...

the aim of the present study was to examine the effects of a course of aerobic exercise on pulmonary function and tolerance of activity in asthmatic patients. among the asthmatic patients, 36 patients (m= 16, f= 20) were chosen after clinical examinations, pulmonary function test, skin prick test (spt) for aeroallergen and a six minute walk test (6mwt) on their own free will. a patient was said...

The duration of action of single oral doses of 80 and 160 mg of propranolol during acute and sustained therapy was studied in nine patients with stable, exercise-induced angina pectoris. Plasma propranolol levels peaked 2 hours after both doses during acute and sustained therapy, but there were wide variations between individuals in plasma concentration with both dosage schedules. Plasma half-l...
