CrossFit(™), a popular high-intensity training modality, has been the subject of scrutiny, with concerns of elevated risk of injury and health. Despite these concerns empirical evidence regarding physiologic stresses including acute oxidative stress is lacking. Therefore, the purpose of this investigation was to examine the acute redox response to a CrossFit(™) bout. Furthermore, these findings...

cardiovascular disease (cad) screening in asymptomatic patients with diabetes mellitus is controversial. an exercise stress test is a safe and effective initial testing for ischemic heart disease (ihd) screening. treadmill stress test is not the best screening method for a particular patient who is not able to exercise, abnormal electrocardiogram (ecg) or positive exercise treadmill test (ett) ...

The purpose of the study was to compare the relationship between stride length (SL), stride frequency (SF), and velocity while running on a treadmill and overground. Participants (n=10; 22.3±2.6 yrs; 1.71±.08 m; 71.4±15.5 kg) completed a total of 14 runs (7 treadmill, 7 overground) with each run at a different velocity. SL, SF, and velocity data were recorded using wearable technology (Garmin, ...

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...

Loading on the limbs has a powerful influence on locomotion. In the present study, we examined whether robotic-enhanced loading during treadmill training improved locomotor recovery in rats that were spinally transected as neonates. A robotic device applied a force on the ankle of the hindlimb while the rats performed bipedal stepping on a treadmill. The robotic force enhanced loading during th...

INTRODUCTION The 6-min-walk test is widely used for functional evaluation of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but the test requires a 30-m unobstructed hallway, which is not available in all institutions. A treadmill 6-min walk test might be more practical. METHODS In a crossover study, we compared the results from hallway and treadmill 6-min-walk tests by 19 patien...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of treadmill walking exercise as a treatment method to improve gait efficiency in adults with cerebral palsy (CP) and to determine gait efficiency during overground walking after the treadmill walking exercise. METHODS Fourteen adults with CP were recruited in the experimental group of treadmill walking exercise. A control group of 7 adults with CP who atte...

Mechanical loading is known to alter tendon structure, but its cellular mechanisms are unclear. This study aimed to determine the effect of mechanical loading on tendon cells in vivo. C57BL/6J female mice were used in a treadmill running study. The treadmill running protocol consisted of treadmill training for 1 week, followed by sustained moderate running at 13 m/min for 50 min/day, 5 days/wee...
