conclusions this study demonstrated that rt and at are equally effective in reducing hepatic fat content and liver enzyme levels among patients with nafld. however, aerobic exercise specifically improves nafld independent of any change in body weight. results after training, hepatic fat content was markedly reduced, to a similar extent, in both the aerobic and resistance exercise training group...

This study first aimed to compare critical power (CP) and anaerobic work capacity (AWC), to laboratory standard evaluation methods such as maximal oxygen uptake (VO(2)max) and maximal accumulated oxygen deficit (MAOD). Secondly, this study compared child and adult CP and AWC values. Subjects performed a maximal graded test to determine VO(2)max and maximal aerobic power (MAP); and four constant...

Physiological functional capacity (PFC) is defined here as the ability to perform the physical tasks of daily life and the ease with which these tasks can be performed. For the past decade, we have sought to determine the effect of primary (healthy) adult human aging on PFC and the potential modulatory influences of gender and habitual aerobic exercise status on this process by studying young a...

Most human phenotypes are influenced by a combination of genomic and environmental factors. Engaging in regular physical exercise prevents many chronic diseases, decreases mortality risk and increases longevity. However, the mechanisms involved are poorly understood. The modulating effect of physical (aerobic and resistance) exercise on gene expression has been known for some time now and has p...

t has often been demonstrated that greater improvements in key performance factors (anaerobic capacity, maximal aerobic power [MAP] and aerobic endurance) in most of the so called ‘aerobic’ sports such as cross country, middle and long distance running can be achieved through training programmes that include intermittent sessions. In fact, as shown in Table 1, when doing continuous exercise, on...

abstract         background and objective: scientific evidence reveals that the density of skeletal muscle microcirculations decreases in the patients with chronic heart failure. therefore, this study aimed to determine the impact of submaximal aerobic exercise training on restoration of fast/slow-twitch muscle fibers microcirculation in rats with myocardial infarction.          methods: in thi...

Objective: The use of non-enzymatic antioxidants in the form of dietary supplements has a positive effect on reducing oxidative stress, and preventing apoptosis as they interrupt free radicals. The aim of this study was to investigate the aerobic exercise and L-carnitine consumption impacts on diabetes induced apoptosis, oxidative stress factors, and mitochondrial enzymes in rats. Materials an...
