exercise induced asthma (eia) is a transient increase in airway resistance after intensive exercise and can be measured as a decline in forced expiratory volume in one second (fev1). the condition is due to increased training load and inhalation of cold and dry air. several studies have shown that eucapnic voluntary hyperpnea challenge test (evh test) is a very sensitive and specific diagnostic...

the pathophysiology of primary benign exertional headache (eh) is not still clearly defined. some researchers have suggested an impaired vascular response as the etiology of this disorder. in this study we investigated whether there are any differences in blood pressure (bp) and heart rate (hr) of the subjects in course of the static and dynamic exercises and the treadmill stress test between t...

introduction: polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos) is one of the most common endocrinological pathologies in women during their reproductive years with ovulatory dysfunction, abdominal obesity, hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance. the aim of the present research was to evaluate the total antioxidant capacity (tac), total oxidant status (tos), free testosterone, ovarian morphology and estrous cy...

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 overtrained (or)...

background: multiple sclerosis (ms) is a neurological disease with a variety of signs and symptoms. exercise therapy has been shown to improve physical functions in ms. however, questions about an optimal exercise therapy remain. in this regard, we suggest a combined exercise therapy including aerobic and resistance exercises for ms patients. the study is designed to observe, test and compare t...

recently, the role of myostatin (mstn) in controlling insulin resistance (ir( has been known. the aim of this study was to determine acute and delayed response of mstn and ir to circuit resistance exercise. for this purpose, 12 healthy men volunteered and participated in 2 sessions of the resistance exercise and control with one-week interval. after a session to instruct how to perform resistan...

the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of omega3 and aerobic exercise intervention on the calcium metabolism regulating hormones in non – athlete postmenopausal women. for this purpose 40 healthy non – athlete postmenopausal women with age 57.72±3.53 years, height 157,75±9,24 cm, weight 58.08±12.76kg, bmi 23.78±3.73kg/m2, fat 23.18±4.68% volunteered in this study. subjects in a do...

purpose this study was designed to assess the effects of ramadan fasting on the profile of mood state and perceived exertion in young soccer players and aerobic and anaerobic performances during the yo-yo, repeated sprint ability (rsa) and the wingate tests. methods twenty junior male soccer players completed the yo-yo, the rsa, and the wingate tests on three different occasions: one-week befor...

objective(s) several studies have reported improved response of exercised hearts to myocardial infarction (mi). this study was aimed to evaluate the preventive role of treadmill exercise and diosgenin on cardiac marker enzymes, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (tbars), total antioxidant status (tas), lipids, and electrocardiographic (ecg) patterns in isoproterenol (iso)-induced myocardia...

conclusions performing large muscle group exercises first in re training and progressing to small muscle group produced greater anabolic hormonal response relative to reverse sequence in normal-weight young adult men. anabolic hormonal response to reos was blunted in the obese group. results reos did not affect number of repetitions in none of the groups. the average rating of perceived exertio...
