The purpose of this training study was to determine the magnitude of strength gains following a high-intensity resistance training (i.e., improvement of neuromuscular coordination) that can be achieved by imagery of the respective muscle contraction imagined maximal isometric contraction (IMC training). Prior to the experimental intervention, subjects completed a 4-week standardized strength tr...

background: high intensity interval training (hiit) is a novel training method which has received most attention in recent years. the aim of this study was to examine the effect of 8 weeks of high intensity interval training (hiit) on plasma levels of adiponectin and leptin in overweight nurses. m aterials and methods: 27 nurses (mean age 25.81±60 years, height 158.01±67 cm and weight 69.41±25 ...

to date, most studies have focused on continuous aerobic training and there is not comprehensive information about the influence of discontinuous aerobic training on cardiovascular risk biomarkers. taking this into consideration, the purpose of the present study is to investigate the influence of an 8-week discontinuous aerobic training program (3×10 min) on cardiovascular risk biomarkers in in...

It is unclear whether the glucose lowering effects of an exercise session are augmented by training. Therefore, we sought to assess the effects of a four-week exercise training program on the acute response of blood glucose to a single exercise session in patients with T2DM. A Quasi experimental design was used. Thirty-four patients with T2DM (18 males) completed a four-week exercise regime con...

The present paper aimed to study the effect of pairwise video check feedback (including the observation of external pattern of skill performance and performing the skill simultaneously) on the learning on acquisition and learning of eye-hand coordination skill. Computer skill of eye-hand coordination skill was the tool used in this study. 24 subjects were randomly selected and equally divided...

Assessed the effects of particular treatment combinations of relaxation training, temperature, and EMG biofeedback on state-trait anxiety, symptom report, and self-concept. The four groups received one of the following sequences: (a) relaxation training, temperature, and EMG biofeedback; (b) temperature, EMG biofeedback, and relaxation; (c) temperature followed by EMG biofeedback; (d) EMG biofe...

the purpose of this current study was to investigate the influence of perceptual-motor trainings on motor skills of girls with trainable mental retardation. so 20 girls with trainable mental retardation in the town of marivan welfare organization with the average of 8/3 ±1/11 years and iq of 39/14±6/84 with purposive sampling method were studied. all girls were pretested. then samples based on ...

the most important physiological role of apelin as a novel adipokine is co- relation with insulin hormone. the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of 12 weeks combined training on plasma apelin and insulin resistance index in overweight females. therefore, 40 non athlete and over weight female students (bmi, 25-30), were selected and divided randomly in two experimental and control...
