Eighteen male English Pointers (2-4 years of age, 23.94+/-0.54 kg body weight) were allotted to three diet and two physical conditioning groups to evaluate the effect of level and source of dietary fat on the olfactory acuity of canine athletes subjected to treadmill exercise. Diet groups (6 dogs/diet) consisted of commercially prepared diets (minimum of 26% crude protein) containing 12% fat as...

Nowadays, Erbium: YAG laser resurfacing of periorbital skin has become a very popular method of wrinkle reduction. Seven patients with Fitzpatrick skin phototypes of II to V were treated with a 2940 nm Erbium: YAG laser system for resurfacing of periorbital wrinkles. Photographic evalution performed before and after treatment. Patients were visited at 1,2,3,5,7,14,30 and 60 days after laser res...

OBJECTIVE To examine blood pressure (BP) in sedentary African American women during two exercise intensities on a cycle and treadmill at fixed heart rate (HR) values. METHODS Blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) were assessed in 44 women (age 33.1 +/- 8.2 years) during cycling and treadmill walking at 40% and 60% heart rate reserve (HRR). Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood p...

We evaluated whether the obesity-associated years of life lost (YLL) have decreased over calendar time. We implemented a meta-analysis including only studies with two or more serial body mass index (BMI) assessments at different calendar years. For each BMI category (normal weight: BMI 18.5 to <25 [reference]; overweight: BMI 25 to <30; grade 1 obesity: BMI 30 to <35; and grade 2-3 obesity: BMI...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to compare the muscle activity of the gluteus medius according to treadmill inclination during gait with a vertical load on a treadmill. [Methods] Sixteen healthy subjects were recruited for this study. The subjects walked on a treadmill at inclination angles of 0, 5, and 10 degrees. [Results] Muscle activity of the gluteus medius increased at 5° compared...

We investigated the extent of functional parasympathetic and sympathetic activity to the heart at rest and during mild to heavy dynamic exercise in conscious dogs. The animals were chronically instrumented to monitor mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), and terminal aortic blood flow (TAQ) and trained to run on a motor-driven treadmill. MAP, HR, and TAQ were monitored at rest and duri...

introduction: polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos) is one of the most common endocrinological pathologies in women during their reproductive years with ovulatory dysfunction, abdominal obesity, hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance. the aim of the present research was to evaluate the total antioxidant capacity (tac), total oxidant status (tos), free testosterone, ovarian morphology and estrous cy...

This study aimed to investigate whether treadmill versus overground soccer match simulations have similar effects on knee joint mechanics during side cutting. Nineteen male recreational soccer players completed a 45-min treadmill and overground match simulation. Heart rate (HR) and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) were recorded every 5 min. Prior to exercise (time 0 min), at "half-time" (time...
