the aim of the present study was to examine the effect of 8 weeks of concurrent training on the plasma myostatin levels in non-athlete obese men. this research was quasi-experimental. for this purpose, 23 overweight non-athlete men voluntarily participated in this study and were assigned to concurrent training group (n=12, mean age 21.38±2.06 yr, height 173.65±7.07 cm, weight 86.61±15.05 kg and...

Background/Objective The heart rate (HR) and metabolic (VO2) responses to treadmill running using the GlideTrak™ body weight support system have not been reported. The purpose of this study was to compare the submaximal and maximal HR and VO2 responses to normal-weight treadmill running (TMR) to treadmill running with body weight support provided by the GlideTrak™ (GTR). Methods Twenty partic...

Hypertension is epidemic disease which post-exercise hypotension (PEH) is useful strategies for hypertension. The aim of present study was to investigate the effects of resistance exercise leading to failure (REF) and resistance exercise not to failure (NREF) on PEH phenomenon in trained men. Eight trained men (age: 22.12±1.81 yr; height: 179±3.44 cm; weight: 73.82±4.29 kg;...

objective: because of the importance iron metabolism and role of hepcidin in running, the present study investigates the effects of one event of submaximal exercise on plasma hepcidin concentrations in male runners. methods: for this purpose, we selected eight runners who were athletic team members of mazandaran university with an average age of 21.7±1.34 years, height of 175.6±5.88 cm, weight ...

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of postexercise ingestion of different-molecular-weight glucose polymer solutions on subsequent high-intensity interval-running capacity. In a repeated-measures design, 6 men ran for 60 min in the morning at 70% VO2max. Immediately post- and at 1 and 2 hr postexercise, participants consumed a 15% low-molecular-weight (LMW) or high-molecular-wei...
