ABSTRACT Introduction Moderate-intensity physical training effectively improves fitness and promotes an important impact on restoring human mental health. Objective This study aims to explore the effect of moderate-intensity students’ Methods 100 students presented themselves as research volunteers. The sport played was badminton. Each exercise lasted 30 minutes. A scale used detect emotional c...

We examined independent and combined influences of asynchronous music and dominant attentional style (DAS) on psychological and psychophysical variables during exercise using mixed methods. Participants (N = 34) were grouped according to DAS and completed treadmill runs at three intensities (low, moderate, high) crossed with three music conditions (motivational, oudeterous, no-music control). S...

the aim of this research was to evaluate the effect of one session of exhaustive exercise with low intensity (55-65% vo2max), moderate intensity (65-75% vo2max) and high intensity (75-85% vo2max) on adiponectin in active women. for this purpose, 30 healthy women (mean age 21.6 years, weigh 59.7+3.35 kg, vo2max 39.1+0.58 ml/kg/min, no history of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes) were selecte...

The purpose of present research was to investigate the effect of low and moderate intensity aerobic exercises on sleep quality in older adults. The statistical sample included 45 volunteer elderly men with age range of 60-70 years old that divided randomly in two experimental groups (aerobic exercise with low and moderate intensity) and one control group. The maximum heart rate (MaxHR) of subje...

We manipulated the baseline metabolic rate and body position to explore the effect of the interaction between recruitment of discrete sections of the muscle fiber pool and muscle O(2) delivery on pulmonary O(2) uptake (VO(2)) kinetics during cycle exercise. We hypothesized that phase II VO(2) kinetics (tau(p)) in the transition from moderate- to severe-intensity exercise would be significantly ...

OBJECTIVES Evaluate the predictive validity of ActiGraph energy expenditure equations and the classification accuracy of physical activity intensity cut-points in preschoolers. METHODS Forty children aged 4-6 years (5.3±1.0 years) completed a ∼150-min room calorimeter protocol involving age-appropriate sedentary, light and moderate-to vigorous-intensity physical activities. Children wore an A...

OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the evidence for an association between physical activity of moderate intensity and risk of type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We searched EMBASE and Medline through March 2006 and examined reference lists of retrieved articles. We excluded studies that did not assess physical activity of moderate intensity independent of activities of vigorous i...

Obesity is increasing all over the world, its morbidity justifying a serious effort to improve the situation. Diet and physical exercise constitute major measures to fight obesity. We aimed to investigate the effect of acute exercise intensity over plasma insulin, growth hormone and somatostatin responses. Plasma levels of insulin, growth hormone, somatostatin and glucose were measured at basel...
