introduction: studies have shown that insufficient recovery between sessions causes immune suppression. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of repeated bouts resistance and endurance exercise on blood leukocytes, lymphocytes, neutrophils, monocytes count and plasma cortisol levels in athlete girls. materials and methods: 9 athlete girls (ages, 20-25 years), participated in the s...

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...

the purpose of this study was to examine serum selenium (se), lipoproteins and testosterone responses to a single session of circuit resistance exercise. fourteen male college students volunteered in the present study. blood samples were taken at 30minutes before, immediately after 25 and 60minutes of single session of circuit resistance exercise (10 exercise, 20s for each exercise, and at 60%1...

the aim of this study was to investigate the acute effects of two resistance exercise protocols with slow and fast movements on some anabolic and catabolic hormones. hence, in a randomized crossover design, 10 young men (age: 23.3±1.76 yr) were divided into 3 groups: control (con), resistance exercise with slow movement (sm), and resistance exercise with fast movement (fm). subjects performed 6...

anxiety and depression are the most frequently diagnosed psychological diseases showing a high co-morbidity. they have a severe impact on the lives of the persons concerned. the physical, mental and social benefits of exercise have been well-documented. in iran, mental disorders are one of the largest sources of disease burden. the aim of this paper is to critically review the currently availab...

introduction: the aim of this research was to study the effect of a 6-week supplemented diet on increasing bone density by measuring calcium, phosphorus and bone mineral density (bmd) in male rats. materials and methods: in this experimental study, 24 wistar male rats, aged between 15 and 20 days, were selected. the rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: immune system supplement (iss), iss p...

abstract         background and objective: scientific evidence reveals that the density of skeletal muscle microcirculations decreases in the patients with chronic heart failure. therefore, this study aimed to determine the impact of submaximal aerobic exercise training on restoration of fast/slow-twitch muscle fibers microcirculation in rats with myocardial infarction.          methods: in thi...

results the means ± standard deviations of the averaged emg during the lateral and frontal wp exercises were 40.1 ± 19.1, and 23.7 ± 11.3 µv, respectively. those of the percent maximal voluntary contraction during the lateral and frontal wp exercises were 51.4 ± 29.7, and 31.3 ± 20.5, respectively. gmax activity during the lateral wp exercise was significantly higher than that during the fronta...

introduction: effects of exercise on different body systems, especially cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems are evidenced. there is a dynamic homeostatic balance between coagulation and fibrinolysis in normal circulation. effect of exercise and training on this homeostatic balance has been studied extensively but there are a few studies with regards to analysis of the effects of training...

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 randomly sel...
