background maximal oxygen consumption (vo2max) forced vital capacity(fvc), forced expiratory volume(fev1) and maximum voluntary ventilation(mvv) are important indicators of pulmonary functions that show physical health and physical activity of individuals. the aim of the present study was to examine the effects of yoga and aerobic trainings on pulmonary functions parameters in untrained women. ...

The aim of the present study was to investigate lower limb anthropometric and composition variables related to running economy (RE) and running performance in a homogeneous group of high level European distance runners. RE at the speeds of 14, 16 and 18 km·h-1 (189 ± 12; 188 ± 11; 187 ± 11 O2 ml·kg-1·km-1) and maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) (67.3 ± 2.9 ml·kg-1·min-1) of 13 high level distance r...

Relevance. Maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) is the maximum amount of an individual can breathe in and utilize it to produce energy aerobically. The global epidemic overweight obesity -’globesity’ emerging as a public health problem many parts world. Almost 30-65 % adult urban Indians either or obese has abdominal obesity. Recently, cardiovascular ailments are increasing younger generation. L...

Background: interleukin-18, and C-Reactive protein (CRP) are two Cardio - Vascular risk factors that have been raised in recent years and independently show the risk of atherosclerosis. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of eight weeks roping on IL-18 and C-reactive protein in overweight and obese adolescents. Material and Methods: This is a semi experimental study in which Thi...

OBJECTIVE Cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2max) is associated with glycemic control, yet the relationship between VO2max and the underlying determinants of glycemic control is less clear. Our aim was to determine whether VO2max is associated with insulin sensitivity, insulin secretion, and the disposition index, a measure of compensatory pancreatic β-cell insulin secretion relative to insulin sens...

Background. Maximal Aerobic Power is related to many quantities and qualities such as supplements. Objectives. The purpose of the present study was to describe the effect of short-term supplementation of glutamine and glucose on hemoglobin and maximum aerobic power in female athletes. Methods. In this quasi-experimental study, 40 female athletes (age 21.9±2.6 years, height 161.8&...

Objective: Physical activity (PA) is one of the most important determinants for physical fitness (PF) in adolescence and young age. The previous study showed that medical students as part population were found to be physically inactive. Our aims evaluate correlation between PA PF status among students.
 Materials methods: One hundred twenty five UNISSULA enrolled this study. level was meas...
