BACKGROUND Although strength training (ST) enhances physical function in the elderly, little is known about the effect of training intensity on training and detraining adaptations in musculoskeletal fitness. OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of exercise intensity on strength, anaerobic power, and mobility of older men subjected to a 24 week ST protocol followed by prolonged detraining. METH...

Several studies have indicated that depressive states may lead to hypokinesia with diminished metabolic rate and energy use. Hypokinesia associated with certain eating behaviors may lead to an unfavorable energy balance that can contribute to the emergence and prevalence of obesity among children and adults. The purpose of the present study was to examine the possibility of reducing depression ...

This study aimed to examine the acute effect of different durations static stretching on heart rate variability (HRV) and, anaerobic capacity moderately physically active men during Wingate test (WAnT) at two pre-exercise periods. Sixty-five healthy young male volunteers performed 10 s (STS) and 30 (LTS) consisting five exercises before WAnT non-consecutive days. HRV was measured pre (60 s), (3...

background: physical exercises can influence some anthropometric and fitness components differently. the aim of present study was to evaluate how a relatively long‑term training program in 11‑14‑year‑old male iranian students affects their anthropometric and motor performance measures. methods: measurements were conducted on the anthropometric and fitness components of participants (n = 28) pri...

A 31-year-old female bodybuilder who was admitted to the Clinic because of deep coma and hypoglycaemia was presented. For last six weeks she had been preparing for a competition doing aerobic and anaerobic exercises, ingesting rich-protein and low-carbohydrate diet and administering a low dose of somatotropin every day. Even for the regional competitions there is a need for exact doping check a...

The purpose of this study was to determine the development physiological aspects increasing aerobic and anaerobic performance in students who become badminton athletes through optimizing footwork exercises using high-intensity interval method (HITT). This research will provide a solution for trainers combining as technique combined with principles training increase athletes' capacity. used an e...

Kickboxing is a sport that involves high intensity and short intervals. High functional training can contribute to kickboxers specific the competition. The purpose of this study examine acute effect high-intensity exercises on circadian rhythm anaerobic performance parameters. consisted 15 volunteer male (age, 20.67± 1.23 years; height, 173.60± 3.18 cm; 69, 20±2.67 kg; BMI 23.03±.49) between ag...

We tested whether the known cytochrome c oxidase (COX) inhibition by nitric oxide (NO) could be quantified by VO(2) kinetics during constant load supra-Anaerobic Threshold (AT) exercises in healthy trained or untrained subjects following aerobic training or nitrate administration. In cycle ergometer constant load exercises supra-AT, identified in previous incremental tests, VO(2) kinetics descr...
