Long-term exercise is associated with improved performance on a variety of cognitive tasks including attention, executive function, and long-term memory. Remarkably, recent studies have shown that even a single bout of aerobic exercise can lead to immediate improvements in declarative learning and memory, but less is known about the effect of exercise on motor learning. Here we sought to determ...

tuberculosis remains a major public health problem in both developing and developed countries. drug-resistant tuberculosis is an increasing health problem and serious challenge to tuberculosis (tb) control programs. information about the susceptibility pattern of mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates against anti-tuberculosis drugs is an important aspect to tb control. the objectives of the study...

background: prolonged inhibition of acetylcholine esterase may lead to the intermediate syndrome. neuromuscular junction (nmj) dysfunction has been shown with repetitive nerve stimulation (rns). subclinical nmj dysfunction may also occur. we aimed to examine the nmj function following acute organophosphorus (op) poisoning by using exercise modified slow rns. methods: a cohort study was conducte...

[Purpose] This study investigated the effects of the slow speed-targeting squat exercise on the vastus medialis oblique/vastus lateralis ratio. [Subjects] Ten asymptomatic men were recruited. [Methods] The EMG activities of the vastus medialis oblique and vastus lateralis muscles were recorded using surface electrodes. The subject performed the squat exercise under 3 different conditions. [Resu...

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...

[Purpose] The aim of this study was to demonstrate therapeutic grounds for rehabilitation exercise approach by comparing and analyzing muscular activities of Ballet movements: the releve movement (RM) and the demi-plie movement (DM). [Methods] Four types of movements such as RM vs. heel rise (HM) and DM vs. squat movement (SM) were randomized and applied in 30 healthy male and female individual...

background: work related musculoskeletal disorders (msds) are considered the most common cause loss of work time, increased costs and human injuries. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of planned exercise movements to reduce musculoskeletal disorders (msds) and burnout in the computer users. method: in this study, the effects of exercise movements using the software were review...

OBJECTIVE The primary purpose of this study was to compare the effects of explosive versus slow contractions on the rate of energy expenditure during and after resistance exercise. METHODS Nine men (20 +/- 2.5 yr) performed three exercise protocols using a plate-loaded squat machine, and a no-exercise (CONTROL) session in a randomly assigned, counterbalanced order. Subjects performed squats u...

The patterns of myosin isoenzymes in fast- and slow-twitch muscles of the rat hindlimb were studied, by pyrophosphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, with hypertrophy (induced by synergist removal) and with spontaneous running exercise of 4 and 11 weeks duration. At 11 weeks, changes with hypertrophy in the slow-twitch soleus, composed of greater than 95% SM2 (slow myosin 2) in normal muscl...
