Background: Many CAD risk factors occur concurrently, increasing the odds of development other factors, which is particularly seen in male and older firefighters. Objective: The purpose this study was to determine association ratios between various Methods: This used a quantitative, cross-sectional correlational design. A total 124 full-time firefighters, males females, were conveniently recrui...

Endostatin and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) are important markers driving the angiogenic switch. It is clear that short periods of moderate to high intensity exercise significantly increase concentration endostatin VEGF in plasma. Objective: To investigate circulatory plasma impact different intensities encompassing from low maximum on distribution concentrations Methods: Eight hea...

A testosterona exógena (sintética) foi criada visando o uso medicinal, para tratar patologias que resultam no declínio da produção natural do hormônio e próprio envelhecimento, sendo a reposição sintético melhor possibilidade de melhorar saúde qualidade vida paciente, porém, deste tornou-se comum na busca por resultados estéticos rápidos praticantes musculação, meio automedicação aplicação sem ...

We appreciate the opportunity to review academic curriculum and current research focus of Exercise Science programs in South Korea. The information of this paper was collected by several different methods, including e-mail and phone interviews, and a discussion with Korean professors who attended the 2009 ACSM annual conference. It was agreed that exercise science programming in South Korea has...

Research has indicated that combined aerobic and anaerobic training (concurrent training) may improve aerobic performance greater than aerobic training alone. The purpose of this investigation was to establish any associations between aerobic and anaerobic performance. Eleven participants (n = 11, age = 34.1 ± 13 years, VO2max = 58.4 ± 7.8) volunteered for this study. Participants were asked fo...

[Purpose] The aim of this study was to determine how compound physical activity affects muscular strength of middle-aged obese women. [Subjects] The research subjects were 40-50 year-old middle-aged women with excess body fat (30%). [Methods] The subjects were randomly assigned to two group, the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group performed two types of exercise pro...

Narirat Jitramontree, PhD, RN Edited by Deborah Perry Schoenfelder, PhD, RN Despite growing evidence of the health benefits of regular exercise, many Americans still remain sedentary. National data have shown that approximately 30% of American adults report no leisure-time physical activity. And by age 75, one in three men and one in two women do not participate in any regular physical activity...

AIM The purpose of this study was to assess the indirect calculation of VO2max using ACSM's equation for Bruce protocol in athletes of different sports and to compare with the directly measured; secondly to develop regression models predicting VO2 max in athletes. METHODS Fifty five male athletes of national and international level (mean age 28.3 ± 5.6 yrs) performed graded exercise test with...
