ObjectiveThis study aimed at examining an eight-week moderate-intensity comprehensive exercise training program on the parameters of sarcopenia in elderly females.MethodsA total 49 community-dwelling females with (65.5 ± 2.5) were assigned randomly to experiment group (EG, n = 25) and a control (CG, 24). In EG, was implemented, 1 h, 3 times per week, 24 sessions. The CG only received health pub...

BACKGROUND Walking ability is a priority for many children with cerebral palsy (CP) and their parents when considering domains of importance regarding treatment interventions. Partial body-weight supported treadmill training has become an established therapeutic treatment approach to address this demand. Further, new robotic rehabilitation technologies have increasingly been implemented in the ...

OBJECTIVE This project audited rate and extent of weight loss in a primary care/commercial weight management organisation partnership scheme. METHODS 34,271 patients were referred to Slimming World for 12 weekly sessions. Data were analysed using individual weekly weight records. RESULTS Average (SD) BMI change was -1.5 kg/m² (1.3), weight change -4.0 kg (3.7), percent weight change -4.0% (...

There is growing consensus that exercise improves cognitive functioning, but research is needed to identify exercise interventions that optimize effects on cognition. The objective of this pilot study was to evaluate Taekwondo implemented in public middle school physical education (PE). Two classes were randomly assigned to either: five sessions per week of PE or three sessions of PE and two se...

Abstract Purpose Reduced physical performance due to therapy-related dysfunctions in children diagnosed with cancer contributes insufficient activity levels. It is therefore essential that relevant functions are restored. Whole-body vibration (WBV) training, a neuromuscular stimulating exercise intervention, could have the potential target those adequately. Therefore, aim of this study was eval...

Symptoms of visuospatial neglect occur frequently after unilateral brain damage. Neglect hampers rehabilitation progress and is associated with reduced quality of life. However, existing treatment methods show limited efficacy. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a neuromodulatory technique, which can be used to increase or decrease brain excitability. Its combination with convent...

Method: In this experimental study, 36 opiate addicts under MMT were selected out of all the patients referring to Iranian National Center of Addiction Studies on a judgmental sampling method and were randomly allocated to two experimental and control groups. In experimental group, a total sum of 8 sessions (one session per week) of cognitive behavioral group therapy were delivered. The main th...

the aim of this study was to examine the effect of 12 weeks of concurrent training on rbp4 andinsulin resistance levels in obese middle-age men. for this purpose, 20 obese middle-age men voluntarily participated in this study and were assigned to concurrent training group (n=10, mean age 51.2 ± 2.25 yr and bmi 31.44 ± 0.81 kg/m²) and control group (n=10, mean age 50.3 ± 2.11 yr and bmi 30.32 ± ...

purpose we intended to determine predictor variables of anthropometry and training for marathon race time in recreational female runners in order to predict marathon race time for future novice female runners. methods anthropometric characteristics such as body mass, body height, body mass index, circumferences of limbs, thicknesses of skin-folds and body fat as well as training variables such ...

Hypothesis / aims of study Tibial neuromodulation (TNM) is a clinically used therapy for patients with refractory, idiopathic overactive bladder [1]. TNM is currently delivered percutaneous using a needle electrode. Therapy sessions are commonly 30 minutes of stimulation once per week. There are questions regarding how often therapy should be delivered as well as optimal clinical and patient sc...
