BACKGROUND The effect of exercise during hemodialysis has been a controversial issue, however, there are just few studies about the effect of active exercise during hemodialysis. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to compare the effects of passive and active intradialytic pedaling exercises on dialysis efficacy, electrolytes, hemoglobin, hematocrit, blood pressure and health-related quality of life ...

the purpose of this research was to study growth hormone (gh) response to a session of maximal exercise in active adolescents. for this purpose, 15 subjects (8 females: age 13± 0.5 yrs, height 153.25± 3.73 cm, weight 43± 5.10 kg and 7 males: age 14± 0.5 yrs, height 166.86± 6.07 cm, weight 52.86± 5.61 kg) performed an incremental exercise protocol on a treadmill with an increasing grade until vo...

AIM High-intensity exercise is time-limited by onset of fatigue, marked by accumulation of blood lactate. This is accentuated at maximal, all-out exercise that rapidly accumulates high blood lactate. The optimal active recovery intensity for clearing lactate after such maximal, all-out exercise remains unknown. Thus, we studied the intensity-dependence of lactate clearance during active recover...

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...

OBJECTIVE Increased physical activity (PA) may be beneficial for children with asthma. Knowledge about how to intervene and encourage children with asthma to be physically active is required. In the present study, we aimed to pilot a 6-week exercise intervention designed as active play and examine attendance rate, exercise intensity and children's perceptions of participating. METHODS 6 child...

background: supplementation usage approach and its effect on fatigue retarding had been focused on by athletes and coaches. the aim of this study was to compare the effect of two acute and chronic loading of sodium bicarbonate supplement on lactate and inflammatory indices after exhaustive aerobic activity in active men. method s : 10 active men were selected and assigned to experimental group....

BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to assess if the application of different methods of active recovery (working the same or different muscle groups from those which were active during fatiguing exercise) results in significant differences in muscle performance and if the efficiency of the active recovery method is dependent upon the specific sport activity (training loads). DESIGN A paralle...

Background During exercise, the demand for oxygen and energy substrates is elevated in active skeletal muscle. Supplements with high nitrate and polyphenol content have been shown to increase nitric oxide production and enhance exercise efficiency. The current randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study aimed to investigate the acute effects of pomegranate extract on blood flo...
