background: the aim of this study was to investigate muscle damage indicators and electromyography activities of quadriceps muscles at 25° of hip flexion in untrained healthy females after an eccentric exercise induced muscle fiber damage.   methods : a total of 14 healthy females participated in this pre-experimental study. the subjects performed maximal eccentric quadriceps contractions at 25...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of one session of continuous exercise on a treadmill on hsp72 and tac levels of the hippocampus of male wistar rats. for this purpose, 20 male wistar rats (weight 165±1 gr. and age 6 to 8 weeks old) were assigned randomly into four groups: one control group and three acute endurance training groups (groups 1,2 and 3 were killed 30 minutes, 4 h...

muscle-derived neurotrophins are thought to contribute to the adaptation of skeletal muscle to exercise. the nt-4/5 protein is one of the family members of neurotrophins that remains rather unknown compared to other members. the aim of this present study was to determine the effect of one session of resistance exercise on the levels of nt-4/5 protein in soleus and flexor hallucislongus muscles ...

introduction: to study the effects of exercise, how important it is to choose a posture? we aimed to characterize the possible impact of different body positions on cardiovascular parameters during and after sustained isometric handgrip (ihg) exercise. materials and methods: cross sectional study was carried out in 33 young adult males (mean age: 19.21±1.083 years). we recorded blood pressure (...

conclusions it seems that in people with type 2 diabetes, acute aerobic exercise can decrease the plasma levels of glucose, possibly through increasing orexin a. in addition, negative energy balance is necessary to decrease the levels of insulin and insulin resistance during acute aerobic exercise. results the analysis of findings in p ≤ 0.05 indicated that acute aerobic exercise caused a signi...

there are confirmed beneficiary effects of exercise on atherosclerotic inflammation of ischemia-associated heart diseases. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of aerobic exercise on t-regulatory cell markers of il-35 as well as foxp3 and t-helper2 marker of il-33 in patients with ischemic heart disease (ihd). this research was performed on 44 asymptomatic male patients with isc...

purpose the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between perception of emotional intelligence and beliefs in the extent to which exercising leads to mood-enhancement. methods volunteer participants (n=315) completed a 33-item self-report measure of trait emotional intelligence and an exercise-mood regulation scale. results emotional intelligence significantly correlated with be...

background & objectives: several epidemiological studies have indicated factors such as leptin level, adiponectin and plasma adiponectin-to-leptin index to be the predicting biomarkers for cardiovascular diseases. given the importance of healthy nutrition and adequate exercise in reducing the risk of atherosclerosis, this study aimed to investigate the effects of fasting and aerobic exercise on...

the aim of this study was to determine the effect of rest intervals between two resistance exercise protocols (with similar volume and intensity) on plasma antioxidant capacity (tac) and creatine kinase (ck). for this purpose, 20 untrained subjects voluntarily participated in the research and randomly assigned to one of the two resistance exercise groups with 2-minute rest interval and 4-minute...

the present study aimed at evaluating the effect of aerobic exercise in carbon black particulates air pollution on tlr4 and tnf-α gene expression in male rats. 24 male wistar rats (mean body mass 279.29+26.97 gr) were randomly divided into 4 groups: a) control, b) aerobic exercise, c) pollution, d) exercise+pollution. a particulates injector and falounak chamber were used to expose the rats to ...
