One may not be able to measure exactly the various parameters involved in computing physical fitness and cardiovascular efficiency of a human being. Inexactness, in turn, may lead to inaccurate results and misleading conclusions. In the present paper, using fuzzy arithmetic, we modify both the Long Form and in Short Form approach associated with the Harvard Step Test, under fuzzy environment. T...

Previous biomolecular and animal studies have shown that a room-temperature far-infrared-rayemitting ceramic material (bioceramic) demonstrates physical-biological effects, including the normalization of psychologically induced stress-conditioned elevated heart rate in animals. In this clinical study, the Harvard step test, the resting metabolic rate (RMR) assessment and the treadmill running t...

[Purpose] Efficient management using exercise programs with various benefits should be provided by educational institutions for children in their growth phase. We analyzed the heart rates of children during ski simulator exercise and the Harvard step test to evaluate the cardiopulmonary endurance by calculating their post-exercise recovery rate. [Subjects and Methods] The subjects (n = 77) were...

The present study was designed to test whether yoga training of six weeks duration modulates sweating response to dynamic exercise and improves respiratory pressures, handgrip strength and handgrip endurance. Out of 46 healthy subjects (30 males and 16 females, aged 17-20 yr), 23 motivated subjects (15 male and 8 female) were given yoga training and the remaining 23 subjects served as controls....

tetanus is an important disease which created by tetanospasmin toxin of clostridium tetani. in this study we surveyed six important factors including lf, kf, mld, ph, od and total protein assay of harvard 52 (h52), g5 (hg5) and 49205 (h49205) strains of the bacterium to determine which of them were more suitable for use in vaccine production. the mentioned strains were seperatedly reactivated i...

statement of problem: low- fusing compound (type 1) is used for border molding and impressions. flow and reproducibility of surface detail are two important characteristics of these materials. there are no valid data available comparing domestic and imported brands. purpose: the purpose of this study was to evaluate these two properties of four different products including kerr (kerr manufactur...
