the present study aimed to assess changes in resting and maximum heart rates as primary indicators of cardiac autonomic function in metabolic syndrome (mets) patients and to determine their value for discriminating mets from non-mets. 468 participants were enrolled in this cross-sectional study and assessed according to the updated adult treatment panel iii (atp-iii) definition of mets. resting...

although sport-physiologists have repeatedly analyzed respiratory gases through exercise, it is relatively new in the cardiovascular field and is obviously more acceptable than standard exercise test, which gives only information about the existence or absence of cardiovascular diseases (cvds). through the new method of exercise test, parameters including aerobic and anaerobic are checked and m...

A percentage of either measured or predicted maximum heart rate is commonly used to prescribe and measure exercise intensity. However, maximum heart rate in athletes may be greater during competition or training than during laboratory exercise testing. Thus, the aim of the present investigation was to determine if endurance-trained runners train and compete at or above laboratory measures of 'm...

BACKGROUND One way of defining an individual's heart effort is to calculate the maximum heart rate to be expected given their age, but the reinnervation seen in patients who have received heart transplants makes for different calculations from patients who have suffered heart failure. The purpose of this study is to evaluate heart rate dynamics (rest, peak and percentage of predicted heart rate...

objective: the recent study aimed to investigate the effects of chronic aerobic activity on the plasma levels of orexin a, leptin, glucose, insulin, and insulin resistance in males with type 2 diabetes. materials and methods: twenty subjects randomly assigned into control and experimental groups, involving 10 people in each group. exercise protocol consisted of eight session aerobic exercise. e...
