The trial consists of 3 different levels. could be movement activity With some modifications, this was tested. conducted junior high school students, totaling 40 students. data obtained by measuring pulse. Pulse measured counting pulse in neck for 10 seconds. calculation result is multiplied 6 det...

methods in this study, 16 skilled female gymnasts (mean age of 9.62 ± 1.45 years) were randomly categorized to two general warm-up with no stretching (ns, n=8) and general warm-up plus static stretching (ss, n=8) groups. the warm-up protocol included a 10-minute jogging, and the static stretch (ss) protocol included stretching programs on the different parts of body during four weeks, three tim...

Background: It has previously been shown that short, pre-operative practice with a simulator, box trainer, or certain video games can temporarily improve one’s basic laparoscopic skills; the so-called warm-up effect. In this experiment we tested the hypothesis that Underground, a video game made for training basic laparoscopic skills, can also be used for a pre-operative warm-up. Methods: 29 la...

BACKGROUND Anxiety is the most common emotional response in women during delivery, which can be accompanied with adverse effects on fetus and mother. OBJECTIVES This study was conducted to compare the effects of aromatherapy with rose oil and warm foot bath on anxiety in the active phase of labor in nulliparous women in Tehran, Iran.

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate whether a high-intensity warm-up at the start of a graded, symptom-limited exercise test would enhance heart rate reserve and thus improve the aerobic performance of orthotopic heart transplant patients. DESIGN Adrenal and cardiorespiratory responses were compared in 10 orthotopic heart transplant patients who performed two graded, symptom-li...

During physically interactive video game play (e.g., Nintendo Wii), users are exposed to potential distracters (e.g., video, music), which may decrease their ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) throughout game play. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the association between RPE scores and heart rate while playing the Nintendo Wii. Healthy adults (N = 13, 53.5 ± 5.4 years old) pa...

Prompt live-saving interventions, such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), intravenous cannulation (IVC), and endotracheal intubation (ETI), are important for severely injured victims of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) disasters. Interventions sometime have to be performed by emergency medical service (EMS) personnel with personal protective equipment (PPE) worn in wa...

The Donath-Landsteiner reaction was studied using low and high titer antisera and purified antibody, normal and PNH erythrocytes, and human serum complement. The requirement for complement in both the cold and warm phases of the reaction depended upon the level of antibody used and the sensitivity of the cells to hemolytic antibodies. Complement was not necessary in the cold phase using PNH cel...

INTRODUCTION Residents traditionally acquire surgical skills through on-the-job training. Minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques present additional demands to master complex surgical procedures in a remote 2-dimensional venue. We examined the effectiveness of a brief warm-up laparoscopic simulation toward improving operative proficiency. METHODS Using a "Poor-Man's Laparoscopy Simulator,"...

Warm-up involves different factors and is implemented in multiple fields and applications. In athletics, it is an essential aspect of preparation. Four specific different warm-ups were randomly investigated in this study. PURPOSE: The purpose of this investigation was to compare the effects of stretching versus a heavy squat (potentiation) versus a loaded jump squat (potentiation) on subsequent...
