conclusions the present study has demonstrated that a combination of exercise and silymarin can improve body composition and adiponectin levels. background silymarin has powerful antioxidant properties, but its effects on athletic performance are poorly understood. objectives the present study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of 4 weeks of endurance or strength exercise, with or without s...

the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 8 weeks of endurance training (et) on ? -1a protein of pre-synaptic p-q-type calcium channels in fhl and soleus muscles of rats. 16 male wistar rats provided from razi institute, were randomly divided to 2 groups (control-sham; n=8 and endurance training; n= 8). training group performed 8 weeks (5 session/week) of endurance training on...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 8 weeks of endurance and resistance training on the activity of g4 acetyl cholinesterase in fhl and soleus muscles of rats. 24 male wistar rats (age: 10 weeks and weight: 171.94±8.961 gr) were randomly divided into 3 groups (control, endurance training (et) and resistance training (rt)). et and rt groups carried out 8 weeks (5 sessions per ...

Background: Obesity and weight gain can cause health risks for people with metabolic disorders. Endurance activities and some herbal supplements can reduce the risks of metabolic syndrome by affecting hormonal indices and body weight. Objective: The present study examined the effect of 8 weeks of endurance training and supplementation of flax seed on BDNF and IGF-1 in obese women. Methods: 48...

the present study examined the effect of endurance training on lipid profile, body weight and cardiovascular endurance in normal male rats after bunium persicum extract administration. 40 experimental male rats were divided into 5 groups: control, placebo, endurance training (et), bunium persicum extract administer (bpea) and et – bpea group. the exercise protocol was performed at a speed of 25...

Background:Metabolic flexibility is the capacity of a system to adjust fuel (primarily glucose and fatty acids) oxidation based on nutrient availability. Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Kinase 4 (PDK4) is one of the main enzymes that play a critical role in metabolic flexibility. In current study, we examined PDK4 inhibition along with exercise training (ET) on the gene expression of Es...

This study investigated the effect of muscular endurance training on O2-cost and performance in double poling (DP) on a rollerski treadmill. Twenty-two well-trained cross-country skiers (31 ± 4 years, 77 ± 9 kg, 181 ± 8 cm, VO2max running: 64 ± 5 mL·kg-1·min-1) were counter-balanced to either a combined muscular endurance and running interval training group [MET; n = 11 (♂ = 9, ♀ = 2)], or an e...
