OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of aerobic exercise on brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels in people with neurological disorders. DATA SOURCES Six electronic databases (CINAHL, PubMed, Cochrane, PsycINFO, SportDiscus, and Web of Science) were searched until the end of December 2016. STUDY SELECTION Experimental or observational studies of people with neurological disorders who...

Acute aerobic exercise facilitated long-term potentiation-like plasticity in the human primary motor cortex (M1). Here, we investigated the effect of acute aerobic exercise on cerebellar circuits, and their potential contribution to altered M1 plasticity in healthy individuals (age: 24.8 ± 4.1 years). In Experiment   1, acute aerobic exercise reduced cerebellar inhibition (CBI) (n = 10, p = 0.0...

Objective: The use of non-enzymatic antioxidants in food supplements and proper exercise can have a positive effect on decreasing oxidative stress by free radical hunting. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of aerobic training and L-carnitine supplementation on some of the oxidative stress factors in the liver of diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: In this experimental s...

adolescent is a time of profound biologic, intellectual, psychological, ‎and socioeconomic change that he will face a crisis. so compatibility may be ‎exposed to many hazards, such as depression, anxiety and other emotional ‎problems. but a planned regular exercise enhances physical and mental health ‎of adolescent female with diabetes.   the aim of this study was to determine the effect of exe...

Introduction: The appropriate physiological response to an acute bout of progressive aerobic exercise requires proper functioning of the pulmonary, cardiovascular and skeletal muscle systems. Unfortunately, these systems are all negatively impacted in patients with heart failure (HF), resulting in signifi cantly diminished aerobic capacity compared with apparently healthy individuals. Cardiopul...

This study compared the body water turnover in endurance athletes and age-matched sedentary men. Eight competitive enduranee athletes (20.8 ± 1.9 yr) and age-matched eight sedentary men (21.6 ± 2.5yr) participated in this study. Total body water and body water turnover were measured using the deuterium (D20) dilution technique. Urine samples were obtained every day for 1Odays after oral adminis...

Introduction: ascorbic acid is a water-soluble vitamin solved in water that acts as a helper of some the enzymes in the reactions of energy metabolism. Thus, the study aims to investigate the use of supplemental ascorbic acid on the aerobic and anaerobic capacity of the children.Methodology: Participants of this quasi-experimental study were 18 children in Esfahan who were randomly selected and...

Part of the association between physical activity and low blood pressure (BP) may be a consequence of genetic selection. We investigated the association of genetic factors and physical activity in adolescence and adulthood with BP. BP was measured with a Finapres device in 71 monozygotic and 104 dizygotic male twin pairs using no antihypertensive medication. Subjects' mean age was 50.4 yr (rang...
