purpose the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of an eight-week progressive resistance training and vibration program on strength and ambulatory function in multiple sclerosis (ms) patients. methods twenty-four female ms patients with the following demographics: age 27-45 years, and expanded disability status scale (edss) 2-4, participated in this study. the subjects were randomly...

This study examined the acute effects of maximum strength (MS), muscular hypertrophy (MH), and strength endurance (SE) resistance exercise protocols on serum leptin. Ten young lean men (age = 23 +/- 4 yr; body weight = 79.6 +/- 5.2 kg; body fat = 10.2 +/- 3.9%) participated in MS [4 sets x 5 repetitions (reps) at 88% of 1 repetition maximum (1 RM) with 3 min of rest between sets], MH (4 sets x ...

This study examined the effect of the type, amount, and the frequency of feeding of carbohydrates on muscle glycogen resynthesis after running. Trained male runners performed a 16.1 km run at 80% VO2 max to decrease gastrocnemius glycogen levels. A complex or simple carbohydrate diet (approximately 3000 kcal) resulted in similar muscle glycogen levels 24 h after exercise. Forty-eight hours afte...

The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of detraining on the glucose transport system after short-term swim training (5 days), long-term swim training (5 wk), and treadmill run training (5 wk). Skeletal muscles were isolated from female Wistar rats at 24 or 48 h posttraining. SST produces a 48% increase in GLUT-4 mRNA, a 30% increase in GLUT-4 protein, and a 60% increase in i...

Background Caloric restriction induces mitochondrial biogenesis and improves physical fitness in rodents. We aimed to provide evidence of how caloric restriction affects the body composition and physical performance of trained athletes and to evaluate the possible impact of an every-other-day feeding diet on nutritional deficiencies of micronutrients and essential fatty acids. Methods The stu...

SMART-X is a mission concept for a 2.3 m2 e ective area, 0.5 ′′ angular resolution X-ray telescope, with 5 ′ FOV, 1 ′′ pixel size microcalorimeter, 22 ′ FOV imager, and high-throughput gratings.

Introduction:Exercise and physical activity are important factors for human health.It has been reported that exercise can be considerably useful in the teratment of psychological diseases.in the present study the effect of running on Spontaneous Electroencephalographic Activity (EEG) of rats was investigated.   Method:Male wistar rats weighting 190-250 gr were selected and divided into contro...

The glucoregulatory response to intense exercise [IE, >80% maximum O(2) uptake (VO(2 max))] comprises a marked increment in glucose production (R(a)) and a lesser increment in glucose uptake (R(d)), resulting in hyperglycemia. The R(a) correlates with plasma catecholamines but not with the glucagon-to-insulin (IRG/IRI) ratio. If epinephrine (Epi) infusion during moderate exercise were able to m...

A stereospecific capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) method was developed for the determination of verapamil (VER) and its main metabolite norverapamil (NOR) in human plasma. Optimal temperature, cyclodextrin selectors (CDs), pH of background electrolyte (BGE) and voltage were established to obtain complete separation of the chiral analytes and clopidogrel internal standard (I.S.) during one a...
