[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of flexi bar training model and moderate running exercise on health-related physical fitness in overweight adults.[Participants and Methods] Forty participants were randomly assigned to an experimental (20 participant performing flexi bar training model (FBT)) and control (20 participant performing moderate running exercise (MRE) group. The participant in both groups then underwent program training 50 min/day, 3 times a week, for 12 weeks. The …

Context Exercise training improves bone mineral density, but little is known about the effects of training on bone marrow (BM) metabolism. BM insulin sensitivity has been suggested to play an important role in bone health and whole-body insulin sensitivity. Objective To study the effects of exercise training on BM metabolism. Design Randomized controlled trial. Setting Clinical research center. Participants Sedentary healthy (n= 28, 40–55 years, all males) and insulin resistant (IR) subjects (n= 26, 43–55 years, males/females 16/10) …

The aim of this study is to evaluate the body composition, physical and physiological parameters of the functional (cross fit, HIIT) exercises applied at the beginning of the preparatory season and at the end of the preparatory season, and to determine the physical and physiological parameters that occur in female footballers during the preparatory season. The average age of the study was 22.25±3.8 years, average height; 166.36±8.14 cm and a weight average 2018-2019 season in Turkey with 54.44±3.24 kg Football Federation …

Aims The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a 12-week strength training, and 3 months of detraining on physical fitness, body composition, and quality of life. Methods: Twenty women underwent assessments pre-and post-training, and after cessation of training. The measurements included waist-to-hip ratio, muscle mass, fat mass, leg press and seated row strength, functional fitness (SFT), and quality of life physical component score (PCS) and mental component score (MCS). Results: Significant interaction (p< 0.01) …

Keeping one's body in shape is one of the reasons for living and physical activity is one of the most beneficial activities for the human body. There are many scientific papers (1-4) which prove that physical activity affects the human body. Two of the most detrimental factors affecting human health, are physical inactivity and poor nutrition (fast food, high blood sugar, negative phenomena, etc.) All these aforementioned factors have a negative influence on health, starting with obesity, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Some studies have also …

Few nutritional markers reflect the hypermetabolic state of athletes with high levels of skeletal muscle. Although branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) play crucial roles in protein metabolism in skeletal muscle, the relationship between skeletal muscle mass and amino acid imbalances caused by the metabolism of BCAA and aromatic amino acids remains unclear. The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that athletes with high levels of skeletal muscle mass have plasma amino acid imbalances, assessed by serum BCAA to …

Purpose: Most evidence for the relationship between physical activity, nutrition education, and late effects from cancer treatment come from cross-sectional studies. The purpose of this pilot study was to determine if 8 weeks of exercise and nutrition education in adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors positively affects fatigue, quality of life, health-related fitness, and dietary intake. Methods: The exercise program targeted improvement in multiple areas of health-related fitness. A Registered Dietitian conducted nutrition education sessions with …

We aimed to investigate the effect of basic fitness function according to whole-body vibration (WBV) stimulus with slope during deadlift in adults. A total of 15 subjects performed deadlift exercise with a sound-wave vibrator. The subjects consisted of three groups: no slope and WBV group (control), WBV only group (group 1), and slope and WBV group (group 2). Slope was set at 5∘, and the frequency and amplitude of WBV were 10 Hz and 5 mm, respectively. The participants performed Romanian deadlift 2 days a week for 4 weeks, including 10 trials …

Volleyball is an exceedingly popular physical activity in the adolescent population, especially with females. The study objective was to assess the effect of volleyball training and natural ontogenetic development on the somatic parameters of adolescent girls. The study was implemented in a group of 130 female volleyball players (aged 12.3±0.5–18.1±0.6 years) along with 283 females from the general population (aged 12.3±0.5–18.2±0.5 years). The measured parameters included: body height (cm), body mass (kg) …

Objectives: Oxidative stress indices are one of the factors that cause and exacerbate cardiovascular diseases in postpartum women, which can be changed with interval training. Therefore, the current study aimed at investigating the effect of interval training on oxidative stress indices among women in preterm labor undergoing the coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). Materials and Methods: This randomized clinical trial was conducted on 21 participants (the sample size was determined based on a similar study) from December …
