BACKGROUND Cardiac rehabilitation in patients after myocardial infarction (MI) is a component of secondary prevention that has an established role in the current guidelines. AIM To determine the effect of physical training on exercise capacity parameters determined on the basis of cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) in patients after MI. We also evaluated the relationship between the number ...

background:  the purpose of the present study was to examine whether a first bout of exhaustive exercise can change inflammo-endocrine responses to second subsequent similar exercise on the same day.  cortisol, tnf-α, and adenosin deaminas enzyme (ada) were assessed during a progressive endurance protocol. methods: eight well trained endurance runners (aged 23.13±3.39 years; weight, 66.21±9.47 ...

BACKGROUND Positive affective responses can lead to improved adherence to exercise. This study sought to examine the affective responses and exercise intensity of self-selected exercise in adolescent girls. METHODS An observational study where twenty seven females (Age M = 14.6 ± 0.8 years) completed three 20-minute exercise sessions (2 self-selected and 1 prescribed intensity) and a graded e...

The present study aimed to determine the effect of the intensity of aerobic and resistance exercise on the 24h BP response in normotensive women. Twenty-four women (aged 33 ± 9 years) performed five experimental sessions in randomized order: CON no exercise; AE50 50% of heart rate reserve (HRR); AE70 70% of HRR; RE40 40% of 1repetition maximum (RM) and RE70 70% of 1RM. Systolic and diastolic BP...

We employed an associative learning paradigm to test the hypothesis that exercise hyperpnea in man arises from learned responses forged by prior experience. 12 subjects undertook a ‘conditioning’ and a ‘non-conditioning’ session on separate days with order of performance counterbalanced among subjects. In both sessions subjects performed repeated bouts of 6min treadmill exercise each separated ...

The main objective of the present study was to evaluate the short-term effects of exercise of different intensities on energy intake. Eleven young men were submitted to three randomly assigned sessions (one control and two exercise sessions) in which they ate, ad libitum, foods from a buffet-type meal. The energy cost of exercise was the same in the two exercise sessions. Results showed that th...

BACKGROUND The best time of exercise along the day for weight management in overweight and obese patients is not determined. The time of exercise may influence its effect on appetite and food intake. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare the effects of two different times of exercise during the day on appetite, energy intake, and the rating of perceived exertion (RPE) on overweight ...

The present study investigated the effects of a series 10 whole-body cryostimulation (WBC) sessions (3 min; −110 °C) on physiological and thermal responses to submaximal exercise test in 17 elite athletes. Participants performed an twice at similar levels intensity before after ten WBC sessions. Before during test, each participant’s oxygen uptake (VO2), heart rate (HR), internal temperature (T...

BACKGROUND Several studies have reported the phenomenon of post-exercise hypotension. However, the factors that cause this drop in blood pressure after a single exercise session are still unknown. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of aerobic exercise on the acute blood pressure response and to investigate the indicators of autonomic activity after exercise. METHODS Ten male subjects (age...
