This study aimed to investigate the effects of two deep water training programs on cardiorespiratory and muscular strength responses in older adults. Thirty-four older adults men were placed into two groups: deep water endurance training (ET; n = 16; 66 ± 4 years) and deep water strength prior to endurance training (concurrent training: CT; n = 18; 64 ± 4 years). The training period lasted 12 w...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the utility of our newly devised method (incremental stand-up exercise-load) to determine features of general endurance in hemiplegic patients. SUBJECTS/PATIENTS Participants were 15 healthy adults and 15 hemiplegics, with 13 men and 2 women in each group. METHODS To evaluate endurance, the subjects were required to assume a sitting position on a bed for 3 minutes and...

Three-way concept analysis (3WCA), a combination of three-way decision and formal analysis, is widely used in the field knowledge discovery. Generally, constructing lattices requires original context its complement simultaneously. Additionally, existing lattice construction algorithms focus on static context, cannot cope with dynamic that an essential representation social networks. Toward this...

The aim of the present study was to determine the development of the inspiratory muscle fatigue in healthy human during incremental cycling to exhaustion under mild and heavy resistive loaded breathing in air and oxygen. Minute ventilation, tidal volume, respiratory rate, inspiratory mouth pressure, and parasternal EMG activities were recorded during an incremental cycling test under mild (12 c...

Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) is a popular approach in various network applications, such as link prediction and network parameter characterization. Incremental SVD approaches are proposed to process newly changed nodes and edges in dynamic networks. However, incremental SVD approaches suffer from serious error accumulation inevitably due to approximation on incremental updates. SVD restar...

STUDY OBJECTIVES We hypothesized that endurance exercise training would reduce the degree of hyperinflation for a given level of exercise and thereby improve submaximal exercise endurance. METHODS Twenty-four patients with COPD (mean FEV(1), 36.4 +/- 8.5% of predicted [+/- SD]) undertook a high-intensity cycle ergometer exercise training program for 45 min, three times a week for 7 weeks. Bef...

Background: Functional disability, impaired balance, and trunk muscle endurance are among the major changes in patients with Non-Specific Chronic Low Back Pain (NCLBP). Investigating the relationship between these factors and Functional Movement Screen (FMS) can facilitate effective pain management and functional problems in these patients. This study aimed to assess the relationships between F...

Mice from four lines bred for high voluntary wheel activity run approximately 3-fold more revolutions per day and have elevated maximal oxygen consumption during forced treadmill exercise, as compared with four unselected control (C) lines. We hypothesized that these high runner (HR) lines would have greater treadmill endurance-running capacity. Ninety-six mice from generation 49 were familiari...

mobile ad-hoc networks (manets) by contrast of other networks have more vulnerability because of having nature properties such as dynamic topology and no infrastructure. therefore, a considerable challenge for these networks, is a method expansion that to be able to specify anomalies with high accuracy at network dynamic topology alternation. in this paper, two methods proposed for dynamic anom...
