the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 12 weeks moderate intensity aerobic exercise on leptin and c-reactive protein serum levels in obese men. the study was conducted in urmia- iran in 2015. twenty-four obese men with an aged range 40-50 yrs. were enrolled into the study. subjects were randomized to one of 2 groups exercise (n=12) and control groups (n=12). the exercise group p...

This study aimed to determine how cognitive control, engaged in a task requiring selective inhibition, is affected by acute steady-state exercise. An adapted version of the Eriksen flanker task, involving three types of trials that varied according to their level of congruency (congruent trials, stimulus-incongruent trials, and response-incongruent trials) was performed during 2 periods of 20-m...

purpose: obesity is one of the most common problems in the world. imbalance between energy consumption and expenditure is a main factor in weight disorder. exercise helps losing weight by increasing energy expenditure and modulation of the energy intake. the present study examined protective effects of daily moderate aerobic exercise on preventing weight gain in high fat diet rats. materials an...

AIMS Individuals with Type 1 diabetes mellitus are susceptible to hypoglycaemia during and after continuous moderate-intensity exercise, but hyperglycaemia during intermittent high-intensity exercise. The combination of both forms of exercise may have a moderating effect on glycaemia in recovery. The aims of this study were to compare the physiological responses and associated glycaemic changes...

New federal guidelines announced in January 2005 advise adults to exercise moderately to vigorously for about an hour most days just to prevent gaining weight as they age. Those who’ve lost weight need even more activity, up to 90 minutes of moderate exercise, to keep the pounds off. Only the relatively few who have no trouble controlling their weight can meet their exercise quota in as little ...

BACKGROUND A significant association has been identified between physical activity and proximity to greenways. However, residents more likely to be active may have selected to live near existing greenways. The purpose of this study was to determine whether development of a new greenway has the potential to increase activity levels of existing, proximate residents. METHODS In 2008, survey data...

The present study investigated the effects of acute aerobic exercise on cognitive brain functions of older adults. Twenty-four males (12 older and 12 younger adults) performed a modified flanker task during a baseline session (no exercise) and after light and moderate cycling exercise in counterbalanced order on different days while measures of task performance and the P3 component of an event-...
