the purpose of the present research was to examine the effect of one bout of exhaustive aerobic exercise with two different intensities on levels of serum mda in male smokers. for this purpose, 12 male smokers (age: 22.08 ±1.31 years, percent of body fat: 17.26 ±4.92% and body mass index: 23.21±2.96 kg/m2) were voluntarily selected and randomly participated in a crossover design in three situat...

the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of two aerobic training programs with different intensities on some cardiovascular risk factors in young girls. for this purpose, 42 girls (mean age 20.59±1.46 years, height 160.29±4.75 cm, weight 59.23±8.82 kg, bmi 22.08±3.41 kg/m2, %bf 15.42±3.85 and vo2max 25.34±3.96 ml/kg/min) were voluntarily participated in this study and divided ...

Inability to reach 85% of the predicted maximal heart rate for age during exercise stress testing (chronotropic incompetence) has been considered indicative of an uninterpretable or inadequate test. A new study from the Cleveland Clinic suggests that a submaximal heart rate response to exercise may be a significant independent risk factor for all-cause and cardiovascular death in individuals wi...

introduction: good functional capacity has a high negative predictive value (npv) in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (cad) similar to a normal gated myocardial perfusion imaging (gmpi). aim of this study was to evaluate npv of functional capacity during treadmill exercise in patients with normal gmpi in pakistani population. methods: this was a prospective study which ...

abstract objective children suffering from cerebral palsy (cp), exhibit movement limitations and physiological abnormalities as compared to normal individuals. the objective of this study was to assess mechanical efficiency and certain cardiovascular indices before and after an exercise-rehabilitation program in children with dipelegia spastic cerebral palsy (experimental group) in comparison w...

conclusions in the children in this study, pacemaker accelerometers failed to meet physiological demands. results basal heart rates, maximal heart rates, and exercise tolerance were significantly lower in the children with pacemakers. age, sex, and body mass index had no effect on the heart rate slope during the exercise test. there was no significant difference between epicardial and endocardi...

in aim of this research was to investigate the effect of a decrease in the number of practice sessions and an increase in exercise intensity on aerobic and anaerobic power, body fat percentage, and body mass index. 80 subjects (average age: 20.2±1.53 years and height: 160.18±5.43cm) were divided into 4 groups (3 experimental groups and one control group). the experimental groups exercised with ...

Maintaining balance is key in avoiding falls and injury. However, little known on how increased cardiac activity may affect postural stability. This study investigated if increase to 85% maximal heart rate (HR) when exercising with standard Bruce Protocol Test (BPT) influence sway. Ten young adults were tested for three stances, quiet bilateral standing i) eyes open, ii) closed, iii) tandem sta...
