recently, the role of myostatin (mstn) in controlling insulin resistance (ir( has been known. the aim of this study was to determine acute and delayed response of mstn and ir to circuit resistance exercise. for this purpose, 12 healthy men volunteered and participated in 2 sessions of the resistance exercise and control with one-week interval. after a session to instruct how to perform resistan...

the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of two programs of standard sets and circuit weight training with different intensities on response of excess post exercise oxygen consumption (epoc) in young men. for this purpose, twelve healthy men (mean±sd: age, 21.92±1.1 years; height, 175.17±4.55cm; weight, 69.74±7.5kg) were voluntarily selected and participated in two stages of t...

the aim of the present study was to investigate the response of plasma visfatin to resistance exercise intensity and its relationship with insulin resistance, growth hormone and il-6. after familiarization and determining their maximum strength (1-rm), 15 healthy young subjects (age: 26.2±4.1 yr, weight: 75.1±9.1 kg) performed three resistance exercise sessions at intensities of 30%, 55% and 80...

background: multiple sclerosis (ms) is a neurological disease with a variety of signs and symptoms. exercise therapy has been shown to improve physical functions in ms. however, questions about an optimal exercise therapy remain. in this regard, we suggest a combined exercise therapy including aerobic and resistance exercises for ms patients. the study is designed to observe, test and compare t...

the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of short time circuit-resistance exercise with difference intensities on ghi/igf-i growth axis in healthy male students. for this purpose, 27 male students with mean and standard deviation of age 21.40±1.78 yr, height 172±0.45 cm, weight 68.85±5.39 kg were selected and randomly divided into three resistance exercise groups (each group, 9 subj...

introduction: strength training has an important role in the exercise programs of normal individuals and athletes and it also has numerous benefits on the health of human body and spirit. one of the types of these exercise is eccentric resistance exercise which is associated with negative physiological changes. thus: this study examined the effects of a single bout of eccentric resistance exerc...

the aim of this study was to determine the effect of rest intervals between two resistance exercise protocols (with similar volume and intensity) on plasma antioxidant capacity (tac) and creatine kinase (ck). for this purpose, 20 untrained subjects voluntarily participated in the research and randomly assigned to one of the two resistance exercise groups with 2-minute rest interval and 4-minute...

abstract background and objective: it has been shown that oxidative stress increases in diabetes and it has an important role in its development and subsequent complications. thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of acute resistance exercise on oxidative stress in skeletal muscle and cardiac tissues of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. materials and methods: twenty male ...

background resistance exercise is recommended as a useful therapeutic tool for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (t2d); however, the frequency of studies is inadequate to establish the precise mechanisms of any association between them. objectives in this study, we aimed to assess the effect of three months of resistance training on tcf7l2 expression in pancreatic tissues, serum insulin and gluc...
