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...

objective: exercise activity could be an amendment to polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos). however the acute and chronic effects of various exercise intensities on serum leptin levels are ambiguous. this study investigates the acute and chronic responses of various intensities of exercise on serum leptin levels and weights of female rats with pcos. methods: in this semi-empirical study, 80 adult w...

the aim of this study was to examine the effects of two kinds of concurrent training on body fat percentage, body mass index (bmi), maximal oxygen consumption, body upper strength, body lower strength, total cholesterol, triglyceride and low- and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol in non-athlete overweight boys. for this purpose, 40 non-athlete overweight boys (mean age 15.33 ± 0.58) were sel...

Purpose: Allometry is a method to express the relationship between physiological and anatomical variables. It can be used to measure the vital capacity through mathematical equations. This study aimed at evaluating lung function indices to estimate the maximal aerobic power by respiratory gas analysis device and the allometric equation. Methods: This study was a descriptive and correlational r...
