conclusions independent of the training sequence, an 8-week concurrent training program caused positive changes in the body composition and physical fitness of our aged female subjects. however, there was no benefit derived from sequence order training. results the intra-session sequence order did not influence the adaptive response of the waist-to-hip ratio (p = 0.55), body fat percentage (bf ...

purpose the aim of this study was to evaluate predictor variables of race time in female ultra-endurance inliners in the longest inline race in europe. methods we investigated the association between anthropometric and training characteristics and race time for 16 female ultra-endurance inline skaters, at the longest inline marathon in europe, the ‘inline one-eleven’ over 111 km in switzerland,...

Endurance performance involves the prolonged maintenance of constant or self-regulated power/velocity or torque/force. While the impact of numerous determinants of endurance performance has been previously reviewed, the impact of fatigue on subsequent endurance performance still needs to be documented. This review aims to present the impact of fatigue induced by physical or mental exertion on s...

Physical exercise is used for the promotion and maintenance of good health and for the improvement of physical fitness. Both endurance and resistance exercises are needed to carry out a complete training program. Because time may be a barrier to physical exercise practice, the aim of this study was to verify whether the order of execution of endurance and resistance exercises, in concurrent tra...

Background and Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences and relationships between the amount of time spent in physical activity and abdominal muscle endurance among the cadets and civilian students. Methods: In this study, a total of 191 male participants (19.7±0.9 years; 63.1±7.5 kg; 169.3±4.8 cm) from the National Defense University of Malaysia (NDUM) volunteered to ...

[Purpose] The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between physical capacity and fear avoidance beliefs in patients with chronic low back pain. [Subjects and Methods] This cross sectional study included 131 male university students with chronic low back pain. All the patients completed a fear avoidance beliefs questionnaire. Each participant performed a physical capacity test, ...

SUR2A is an ATP-binding protein that serves as a regulatory subunit of cardioprotective ATP-sensitive K(+) (K(ATP) ) channels. Based on signalling pathway regulating SUR2A expression and SUR2A role in regulating numbers of fully assembled K(ATP) channels, we have suggested that nicotinamide-rich diet could improve physical endurance by stimulating SUR2A expression. We have found that mice on ni...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the health–related physical fitness status of men aged between 50 and 65 in isfahan. 385 non-athlete men (mean age: 57.73±4.65 years, height: 167.94±6.04 cm, weight: 76.88±9.45 kg) aged between 50 and 65 were randomly selected as the sample. this study used physical fitness standard tests including flexibility test of sit and reach, rockport walking, curl-u...
