obesity in known to increase the risk for cardiovascular diseases. serum levels of cellular adhesion molecules are reported to be indices of arthrosclerosis. so each intervention that has benefit effects on them is very important foe general health. the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of low and high intensity endurance training programs on icam-, 27 sedentary obese males with...

The purpose of the current study was to explore if training regimes utilizing diverse training intensity distributions result in different responses on neuromuscular status, anaerobic capacity/power and acute heart rate recovery (HRR) in well-trained endurance athletes. Methods: Thirty-six male (n = 33) and female (n = 3) runners, cyclists, triathletes and cross-country skiers [peak oxygen upta...

The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of additional in-season speed endurance production versus speed endurance maintenance training regimes on performance in competitive male soccer players. In a randomised controlled trial 18 male sub-elite players were exposed to additional speed endurance production (SEP) or speed endurance maintenance (SEM) training (two additional se...

introduction: endurance training has significant effects on the renewal of heart tissue, including myosin heavy chain (mhc) proteins. on the other side, purine-rich element-binding protein β (purb) decreases the &alphamhc; gene expression. the aim of this study was to determine the impact of exercise endurance training on purb gene expression in the heart of wistar rats. methods: fourteen rats ...

Introduction: The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of pectin supplementation and 14 weeks of endurance training on the serum atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) levels and lipid profile of obese pregnant mice. Methods: This experimental study was conducted on 40 female laboratory mice (mean weight: 30+5 g...

BACKGROUND The aim of this prospective randomized controlled trial was to investigate if a short-term endurance or combined endurance/resistance exercise program was sufficient to improve aerobic capacity and maximum force in adult patients (18-65 years) with multiple sclerosis (MS). METHODS All patients performed a three-month exercise program consisting of two training sessions per week, la...

extra-cellular levels (serum) of heat shock protein 70 is influenced by various stressors such as exercise and it has been shown that this protein affects the proinflammatory cytokines in human and animal samples. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of endurance training on serum levels of proinflammatory cytokines (tnf-?, il-1?, il-6 and hsp70) in trained and untrained rats. fo...

Background. The apoptotic inducing factor (AIF) level increases in the brain of patients with diabetic disease. Objectives. This study aimed to investigate whether endurance training could alleviate apoptosis in the cerebellum of diabetic rats. Methods. Twenty rats were randomly allocated in four groups including 1) healthy control 2) healthy trained 3) diabetic and 4) diabetic trained groups...

This study aims at determining the critical seismic intensity at which cracks are expected to develop in a concrete arch dam. This intensity is referred to as crack initiation intensity. The crack initiation intensity measure implies that earthquakes with the intensity measure higher than this value are expected to induce cracks in the arch dam. This quantity is an indicator for seismic evaluat...
