Aerobic exercise training and weight loss (AEX+WL) improves insulin sensitivity in overweight adults; however, the underlying pathways are incompletely understood. Fetuin-A, a hepatokine that inhibits insulin signaling, may be involved in the salutary effects of AEX+WL. Therefore, we examined the effects of 6-month AEX+WL on plasma fetuin-A levels (36-48 hours after the last bout of exercise), ...

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic condition affecting the respiratory and gastrointestinal systems, with patients experiencing problems maintaining weight, especially during rapid growth periods such as puberty. The aim of this case report was to monitor the effect of gastrostomy insertion and implementation of overnight supplemental feeding upon clinical outcomes, including body mass index (BM...

AIMS In a population at risk for type 2 diabetes (T2DM), we assessed early physical and metabolic markers that predict progression from normal to impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and T2DM. METHODS A total of 388 individuals (22% male, age 46 + 11 years) at risk for T2DM were randomized to Standard (n = 182) or Intervention (n = 206) care and evaluated at baseline and 5 annual follow-up visits...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) on functional capacity in obese and non-obese patients who have suffered acute myocardial infarction (AMI). METHODS Overall, 359 patients who have suffered AMI, and were referred for CR after percutaneous coronary intervention from 2010 to 2015 and underwent an exercise tolerance test before and after phase II CR were included i...

background the purpose of this study was to determine appropriate intensity of activity with fatmax during incremental exercise in the active and sedentary male participants. material and methods in this study, 11 active male students(vo2max42.87±1.75ml.kg-1.min-1,bmi 21.40±1.01 kg.m2) and 9 sedentary male students(vo2max36.57±2.95ml.kg-1.min-1, bmi 24.28±1.83kg.m2) were selected as the active ...

Reports suggest children with high aerobic fitness (VO2max; mL/kg/min) have healthier profiles of TNF-α and IL-6; however, research has not accounted for differences in adiposity between high-fit and low-fit individuals. Thus, this study examined differences in inflammatory markers of obese and normal weight children of different fitness levels, using two different VO2max units: per unit of fat...

Introduction: Increased adiposity leads to impaired physiologic growth hormone secretion and low high body mass index (BMI) values increase health risks. However, BMI only measures results in variations fat-free (FFM), (FFMI), normalized (NFMI), fat (BFM). This study evaluated the insulin-like factor system responses given exercise their interaction with changes BMI, FFM, FFMI, NFFMI healthy ma...

BACKGROUND South Asians are more insulin resistant than Europeans, which cannot be fully explained by differences in adiposity. We investigated whether differences in oxidative capacity and capacity for fatty acid utilisation in South Asians might contribute, using a range of whole-body and skeletal muscle measures. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Twenty men of South Asian ethnic origin and 20...

INTRODUCTION The interaction between fatness, fitness, and C-reactive protein (CRP) in adolescents is not well characterized but may be important to prevent low grade inflammation. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between adiposity, different expressions of fitness, and CRP in late adolescence using direct measures of fitness and fatness. METHODS Anthropometric measure...

Changes in lifestyle and high levels of stress early semester medical students have the potential to increase risk obesity which will a direct effect on increasing body fat percentage due inadequate physical activity. The sufficiently affects maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) during exercise. This study aims determine fats VO2max at University Lampung. research is correlative analytic with cross-s...
