background: it has been suggested that the autonomic system function and the metabolic syndrome can significantly affect patients' survival. the aim of the current study was to investigate the impact of the cardiac rehabilitation program on the autonomic system balance in patients with coronary artery disease. methods: patients with a previous diagnosis of coronary artery disease who were refer...

conclusion a higher magnetic field strength and a decrease in the hr resulted in an increase in body temperature during the mri procedure. results our investigation of the physiological response to rf heating indicated a link between increasing age and body temperature. a higher increase in body temperature was observed in older patients after a 3.0-t mri (r = 0.07, p = 0.29 for 1.5-t mri; r = ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the physical and physiological profile of kabaddi players and the physiological demands of playing a kabaddi match. METHODS Maximum aerobic capacity (VO2max), maximum ventilation (VEmax), O2 pulse, respiratory equivalent (RE), maximum heart rate, and O2 debt were assessed on 16 players. The somatotype of the players was calculated by the Health and Carter method. Heart ...

Introduction: The Bed nucleus stria terminalis (BST) is a part of the limbic system. It was recently shown that chemical stimulation of the BST by L-glutamate elicited cardiovascular depressive responses. In the present study, we have investigated the possible cardiovascular role of the GABAergic receptors in BST by microinjection of its agonist and antagonists. Methods: Experiments were p...

conclusions children engaged with regular football practice presented enhanced physical fitness and autonomic function, by increasing vagal tone at rest. results the anthropometric and body composition characteristics were similar in both groups (p > 0.05). the groups were also similar in time spent daily on moderate-to-vigorous physical activities (fg vs. cg: 114 ± 64 vs. 87 ± 55 minutes; p > ...

background: despite the widespread use of respiratory protection equipment in different jobs, the effects of these devices on people’s physiological responses are not well recognized as yet. therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of the air purifying respiratory protection equipment on the heart rate. methods: this experimental study was performed in a climate chamber under ...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different music rhythms on cardio respiratory responses during incremental exercises in young men. for this purpose, 17 non-athlete healthy males (ages: 19.76±0.97 yr, height: 176±6.72 cm, weight: 68.5±5.95 kg) voluntarily participated in this study. they performed bruce protocol until exhaustion with no music, slow music and fast music con...

conclusion our findings support prone positioning for premature infants. therefore, it is advisable to nicu staff that if there is no obstacle for changing the infant’s position, prone position in infants with respiratory complications during receiving n-cpap in nicu can be useful. regarding the fact that prone position is a risk factor for sudden infant death syndrome , prone position should b...
