Cardiovascular disease is the most frequent cause of death in Saudi Arabia; next to road traffic accidents. Both resistance and aerobic exercises provide greatest benefits as best exercise modality for prevention cardiovascular diseases. To determine prevalence associated risk factors among adult population attending Fitness center/Gymnasium Arar, Kingdom Arabia. In a randomized cross-sectional...

Physical fitness assessments for tactical occupations (e.g., military, law enforcement, and emergency services) can include predictive tests of anaerobic power, cardiovascular fitness, muscular endurance, strength, agility, and/or simulated occupational tasks. Not only these be used to assess the ability someone undertake job role but they determine injury risk, training failure, general health...

The message from the nation’s scientists is clear, unequivocal, and unified: physical inactivity is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and its prevalence is an important public health issue. New scientific knowledge based on epidemiological observational studies, cohort studies, controlled trials, and basic research has led to an unprecedented focus on physical activity and exercise. The...

OBJECTIVES To explore the associations between objectively assessed intensity levels of physical activity and academic achievement and test whether cardiovascular fitness mediates the association between physical activity and academic achievement. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional data were gathered in Swedish 9th-grade students (n = 232; mean age = 16 years; 52% girls). School grades, pubertal ph...

The aim of this retrospective study is to evaluate the cardiovascular fitness and muscle strength performance children with asthma versus without. Participants include patients who were involved in 2012 NHANES National Youth Fitness Survey (NNYFS) as published by Centers for Disease Control Prevention. average scores will be appreciated analyzing averages time spent on treadmill, maximal heart ...

PURPOSE To compare the effects of six weeks of high intensity interval training (HIIT) vs continuous moderate intensity training (MIT) for improving body composition, insulin sensitivity (SI), blood pressure, blood lipids, and cardiovascular fitness in a cohort of sedentary overweight or obese young men. We hypothesized that HIIT would result in similar improvements in body composition, cardiov...

BACKGROUND Recent studies have demonstrated a strong association between physical activity, low level of cardiorespiratory fitness and the presence of cardiovascular risk factors. OBJECTIVE Compare the level of physical activity, level of cardiorespiratory fitness and cardiovascular risk in students of medicine and physical education. METHODS At the first phase, the International Physical A...
