conclusions these findings indicate that rehydration with honey drink improves running performance and glucose metabolism compared to plain water in the heat. thus, honey drink can be recommended for rehydration purpose for athletes who compete in the heat. results running distance in run-2 covered by the subjects in the honey drink hd trial (3420 ± 350 m) was significantly (p < 0.01) longer co...

background and objectives: it has been shown that a bout of jumping exercise with weighted vests increases the subsequent countermovement jump height. however, it is not clear whether the improvement in jump height is due to the enhancement of joint power or due to other mechanisms such as neural adaptations. methods: to investigate this dichotomy, we tested the acute neuromechanical changes fo...

background & aim:  considering the fact that cesarean section (c-section) poses greater risks of maternal and neonatal complications, compared to vaginal delivery, scholars seek different strategies to decrease the prevalence of this surgical procedure. birth ball exercises during pregnancy are among the proposed strategies. thus, this study aimed to determine the effect of using birth ball dur...

background there is a strong relationship between physical inactivity and low-grade inflammation and its adverse health outcomes, particularly cardiovascular disease. the level of anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory cytokines may be changed by exercise. objectives the aim of the present study was to determine the response of certain inflammatory biomarkers to exercise with differences in max...

background: multiple sclerosis (ms) is a chronic disease characterized by degradation of the central nervous system myelin which may impair the balance of patients. core stability exercises have been the focus of attention for repairing the stability of some patients.   objectives: to assess the effect of core stability exercise on the balance of patients with multiple sclerosis. materials and ...

background delayed onset muscle soreness (doms) is the sensation of stiffness and pain in the muscles that occurs 24-48 hours after unaccustomed or strenuous exercise. objectives the aim of this study was to examine and compare the effect of vibration training (vt) on delayed onset muscle soreness. materials and methods twenty healthy non-athletic volunteers (female, age 20-30 years, body mass ...

purpose : the present study was designed to evaluate the effects of aerobic and strength training on cardiac variables such as blood pressure, heart rate (hr), and metabolic parameters like cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (hdl), triglycerides and anthropometric parameters of obese women of punjab .   methods: this study was performed as an experimental study, in which subjects were random...

conclusions beta-alanine supplementation has limited antioxidant effect during the repeated wts. background carnosine is a dipeptide formed from the β-alanine and histidine amino acids and found in mainly in the brain and muscle, especially fast twitch muscle. carnosine and creatine has an antioxidant effect and carnosine accounts for about 10% of the muscle's ability to buffer the h+ ions prod...

background: regular aerobic exercise improves the background: regular aerobic exercise improves the inflammatory status in different lung diseases. however, the effects of long-term aerobic exercise on the lung response have not been investigated. the present study evaluated the effect of aerobic exercise on the lung inflammatory. m aterials and methods: 12 adult male wistar rats were divided t...
