Endometriosis occurs in about 5-10 100 women of reproductive age. The pathophysiology endometriosis is controversial. Some studies claimed an association between and increased levels inflammatory factors peritoneal fluid and/or peripheral blood. Monocyte / HDL cholesterol ratio (MHR) neutrophil/lymphocyte (NLR) are markers used as predictors prognostic indicators mortality morbidity many diseas...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to describe blood pressure responses during resistance exercise in hypertensive subjects and to determine whether an exercise protocol alters these responses. INTRODUCTION Resistance exercise has been recommended as a complement for aerobic exercise for hypertensive patients. However, blood pressure changes during this kind of exercise have been poorly inve...

OBJECTIVE Wheelchair athletes often select a percentage of their top speed (%TS) to determine training intensity. The aim of the study was to determine whether choosing a %TS corresponds to the physiological concept of relative exercise intensity (% peak oxygen uptake: %VO2 peak) and to examine selected physiological and metabolic responses of a group of wheelchair athletes to 60 minutes' exerc...

Introduction: The effective method of treatment of Polycystic Overy Syndrome (PCOS) is lifestyle modification. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of 12 weeks aerobic exercise on DHEAso4, 17OH-Progestron Concentrations, number of follicles and menstrual condition of women with PCOS. Methods: In this clinical trial, 40 PCOS patients lean (BMI<20) and obese (BMI>25) randomly divided ...

OBJECTIVE To compare the Eject Helmet Removal (EHR) System with manual football helmet removal. METHODS This quasiexperimental counterbalanced study was conducted in a controlled laboratory setting. Thirty certified athletic trainers (17 men and 13 women; mean ± standard deviation age: 33.03 ± 10.02 years; height: 174.53 ± 12.04 cm; mass: 85.19 ± 19.84 kg) participated after providing informe...

We determined if high cadences, during a prolonged cycling protocol with varying intensities (similar to race situations) decrease performance compared to cycling at a lower, more energetically optimal, cadence. Eight healthy, competitive male road cyclists (35 ± 2 yr) cycled for 180 min at either 80 or 100 rpm (randomized) with varying intensities of power outputs corresponding to 50, 65 and 8...
