Materials and Methods: Twenty male wistar rats were fed ...

  Objective(s): The effect of prolonged overtraining on cytokine kinetics was compared with moderate exercise in the present study.   Materials and Methods: Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control sedentary (C), moderate trained (MT), (V=20 m/min, 30 min/day for 6 days a week, 8 weeks), overtrained (OT) (V=25 m/min, 60min/day for 6 days a week, 11 weeks) and recovered overtrai...

the aim of the current study was to investigate three volleyball skills in three training conditions of blocked, random and serial to reveal their effects in three phases of acquisition, retention and transfer. 60 amateur male students (mean age = 21.5 years, sd= 1.2) were voluntarily selected and randomly divided into three training groups (blocked, random and serial). a pretest was used to ma...

Previous studies have shown immediate compliance with weight-bearing instructions to be better after biofeedback training than after verbal or scale training. This study assessed retention of biofeedback training to determine potential clinical applicability. Twelve participants were enrolled in a prospective clinical study at an academic orthopedic center. Participants were trained with a biof...

BACKGROUND Strengthening exercises of the quadriceps femoris muscle (QFM) are beneficial for patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Studies reporting short-term effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) of the QFM in this population support the use of this modality as an adjunct treatment. The objectives of this follow-up study are to compare the effects of an exercise program wit...
