BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Carbohydrate-electrolyte drink has a significant role on energy balance during exercise. The present study was designed to investigate the effect of oral carbohydrate-electrolyte supplementation on sports performance and cardiovascular status of the national level male athletes during exercise and recovery. METHODS A total of 10 male athletes (age range: 20-25 yr) wer...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most commonly encountered arrhythmia in clinical practice with an estimated prevalence of 0.4% to 1% in the general population [1], increasing with age to 8% in those older than 80 years [2]. The recognised risk factors for developing AF include age, structural heart disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and hyperthyroidism [3]. However, the mechanisms underly...

Problem statement: Numerous fitness tests are usually administered to determine either muscular strength or cardiovascular endurance. Even though an ample number of exist measure upper body endurance and lower maximal strength, a single test that assesses both could be beneficial in some circumstances. Purpose: The purpose this study was if hand-grip dynamometer is valid predictor explosive str...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most commonly encountered arrhythmia in clinical practice but the mechanisms underlying the initiation and maintenance of AF are yet to be clarified. It is wellknown that regular exercise is beneficial to health and reduces the risks of cardiovascular diseases. However, recent studies suggest that long-term endurance exercise, including running, swimming, rowing ...

Children with low motor competence (LMC) are less able to participate fully in many sports and recreational activities typically enjoyed by their well-coordinated peers. Poor fitness outcomes have been reported for these children, although previous studies have not tracked these outcomes over time. In this study, 19 children (8 girls and 11 boys) with LMC aged between 5 and 7years were matched ...

BACKGROUND Physical activity reduces symptoms of cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of six-week aerobic exercise upon Chemerin and Resistin concentration in women with menopause who had hypertension. METHODS The population of this quasi-experimental study included postmenopausal women diagnosed with hypertension. They were 50 to 55 years old and lived in ...

The purpose of this study was to perform a construct validity assessment of Kendzierski's exercise self-schema theory questionnaire using objective measures of health-related physical fitness. This study tested the hypothesis that individuals with an exercise self-schema would possess significantly greater physical fitness than those who did not across three domains of health-related physical f...

INTRODUCTION There is evidence that physical activity decreases the degree of atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries in persons who are physically active by modifying the chemistry and metabolism of lipoproteins. The effect of physical activity on the lipid status is achieved by affecting the enzymes of lipoprotein metabolism including the lipoprotein and liver lipase and transport protein of...
