International Journal of Exercise Science 6(2) : 126-133, 2013. Manipulating variables in a training program (e.g., sets, reps, lifts, sequence, etc.) is designed to maximize strength and power performance. Due to the complexity of designing resistance-training programs, changing one variable could potentially set an athletic team apart from others in performance. The purpose of this study was ...

With a more sedentary population comes growing rates of obesity and increased type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) risk. Exercise generally induces positive changes in traditional T2DM risk markers such as lipids, glucose tolerance, and insulin sensitivity; however alterations in concentrations of many circulating cytokines and their respective receptors are also becoming apparent. These cytokines m...

Despite the remarkable progress of medicine and science, we still suffer from incurable diseases. The development of society has resulted in new diseases that did not exist in the past. The economic imbalance between countries or regions is a factor for new social conflicts and related diseases. Excessive nutrition and lack of exercise have led to the expansion of metabolic diseases in modern h...

blood hypercoagulability or thrombogenicity can be one of the main causes of the cardiovascular diseases in young population without traditional pathologic risk factors such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension or hyperlipidemia. the effect of aerobic exercise on coagulation and fibrinolysis has been studied extensively regarding to the effectivness of resistance exercises to increase functional ...

Forced exercise has resulted in neuroprotective effects and improved motor function in animal studies. These promising results have not yet been translated fully to humans with Parkinson's disease (PD), as traditional exercise interventions have not yielded global improvements in function. A novel forced exercise intervention is described that has resulted in improved motor function and central...

Received: September 07, 2017 Revised: November 16, 2017 Accepted: November 20, 2017 Abstract: Background: Traditional exercise prescription is based on the assumption that exercise adaptation is predictable and standardised across individuals. However, evidence has emerged in the past two decades demonstrating that large inter-individual variation exists regarding the magnitude and direction of...

IN BRIEF Traditionally, aerobic training has been a central focus of exercise promotion for diabetes management. However, people with diabetes have much to gain from other forms of exercise. This article reviews the evidence and recommendations on resistance, balance, and flexibility training, as well as other, less traditional, forms of exercise such as yoga and Tai Chi.

The purpose of this study is to discuss the effect of the intervention of exercise behavior change plan for high school students on study subjects’ social and psychological factors and exercise stages. This research uses the transtheoretical model as the research framework. One experiment group and one control group were used in a quasi-experimental design research. The experimental group accep...

Promoting physical activities among older adults becomes an important component of successful aging. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of both exercise settings and player interaction patterns on exercise intention in a sample of Asian older adults. A 2×2 (exercise settings: traditional exercise vs. exergame×player interaction patterns: collaborative vs. competitive play) betwee...
