Regular physical activity can improve cardiovascular fitness and may reduce the likelihood and debilitating effects of cardiovascular disease. Weight-training has generally been believed to have limited value in modifying risks of cardiovascular disease. Effects shown of resistance training on parameters associated with cardiovascular fitness and disease include: heart rate decreases for maxima...

This study investigates the effects of fitness changes on hippocampal microstructure and hippocampal volume. Fifty-two healthy participants aged 59-74years with a sedentary lifestyle were randomly assigned to either of two levels of exercise intensity. Training lasted for six months. Physical fitness, hippocampal volumes, and hippocampal microstructure were measured before and after training. H...

The physical demands placed on dancers from current choreography and Abstract performance schedules make their physiology and fitness just as important as skill development. However, even at the height of their professional careers, dancers’ aerobic power, muscular strength, muscular balance, bone and joint integrity are the ‘Achilles heels’ of the dance-only selection and training system. This...

Today, organizations are paying particular attention to the ways and methods of teaching. If that is often not the result of poor training objectives training process, ways, methods and training techniques. Therefore, methods that can be used in training while working problems, to prepare them for activities and responsibilities, and the overall is over effectiveness of the training. The prese...

Spinal cord injury (SCI) and traumatic brain injury (TBI) have a devastating impact on those who sustain such injuries, as well as on communities and families. Ensuring that post-injury treatment is as effective as possible is crucial to the successful rehabilitation and quality of life of those who sustain such injuries. Two new reviews have recently been published in the Cochrane Library (www...
