Filter by:Dysmenorrhea is defined as the pain and discomfort of women during the menstrual period. Kinesiological taping (KT) and aerobic exercise (AE) are effective methods for dysmenorrhea. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of KT and AE on pain, attitude, depression, and quality of life in women with dysmenorrhoea. Forty-five women with dysmenorrhea wıll randomly be divided into three groups as KT group (n=15), AE group (n=15) and control group (n=15). In KT Group, 6 sessions of KT will be applied, starting on the 14th day of the menstrual cycle and 2 times per week for 3 weeks until the end of the cycle. In the AE group, walking and climbing stairs will be given during the menstrual cycle, 3 days a week, 45 minutes. No application will be applied to the control group. All groups will be evaluated with Beck Depression Scale (BDS), Mcgill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ), Menstrual Attitude Scale (MAS), and Short Form- 36 (SF-36) before and after the intervention.
Scleroderma, also called systemic sclerosis (SSc); It is a heterogeneous multiorgan disease of unknown etiology characterized by vasculopathy, autoimmunity and fibrous tissue. It is stated in studies that cardiac and pulmonary systems are affected in patients with SSc and these effects affect the aerobic capacity, physical functions and quality of life of patients negatively by disrupting their pulmonary and musculoskeletal functions. However, considering the treatment approaches in scleroderma patients, the number of studies evaluating the effectiveness of pulmonary rehabilitation and exercises is limited. Therefore, the purpose of our study; Comparison of the effects of a supervised exercise program and a home exercise program in patients with Systemic Sclerosis.
The standard of care for PTSD involves both psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy, but treatment resistance is common. The discovery of effective complementary treatment approaches would have major implications for patients with PTSD. Mindfulness meditation and related practices have been studied intensively in recent years for a variety of psychiatric illnesses, including depression, generalized anxiety disorder, and PTSD. Studies in PTSD suggest that mindful meditation holds promise. For example, mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) has shown effectiveness for reducing symptom severity and improving mental-health related quality of life in combat-exposed veterans and child survivors of sexual abuse. Mechanistically, mindfulness meditation appears to counteract the types of functional changes that have been identified in the brains of patients with PTSD. In particular, while PTSD symptoms are associated with decreased activation of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and increased amygdala activity, mindfulness meditation is associated with increased PFC activation and decreased amygdala activation. Other physiological effects of mindfulness meditation in patients with PTSD are not fully defined. However, available data suggest that it leads to a normalization of vagal tone and plasma cortisol levels, which are known to be abnormal in patients with chronic PTSD. Research utilizing validated and standardized pre- and post- PTSD outcome measures, in addition to pre- and post- physiologic variables such a vagal tone, plasma cortisol and catecholamine levels, may better the understandings of physiological effects of mindfulness medication.
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of high intensity interval exercise and moderate intensity continuous exercise on some genetic molecules in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of high intensity interval exercise and moderate intensity continuous exercise on basic gait parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Background: Exergaming is thought to have a similar effect on cardiovascular (CV) responses as aerobic fitness activities. The aim of this study was to compare the cardiovascular effects of exergaming and traditional treadmill exercises in patients with high CV risk. Methods: Sixty-four patients with high CV risk were randomized among exergame (EG: n = 22), treadmill (TM: n = 22), and control (n=20) groups. The EG group was engaged in the running-based exergame using Exer Heart and the TM group walked or jogged on a treadmill. Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (FMD), endothelial progenitor cell numbers (EPCs), epicardial fat thickness (EFT), metabolic parameters and anthropometric parameters were measured in patients before and 3 months after the training.
Background: Recent studies indicate that exercise-related games can improve executive function, attention processing, and visuospatial skills. Objective: This study investigates whether exercise with exergaming can improve the executive function in patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS). Methods: Twenty-two MetS patients were recruited and randomly assigned to the exergaming group (EXG) and treadmill exercise group (TEG). The reaction time (RT) and electrophysiological signal from the frontal (Fz), central (Cz), and parietal (Pz) cortex were collected during a Stroop task after 12 weeks' exercise.
Cardiac Rehabilitation, as art and acting science multiprofessional, is based on the training with exercises that provides the post-infarct patients to satisfactorily re-establish the patient's clinical condition and that improve the functional capacity of these individuals. Evidence shows that aerobic exercise training provides improvements in the endothelial function of this population. However, we do not yet have strong evidence of other modalities of exercise in these parameters in post-infarction patients treated with angioplasty.
Cardiometabolic diseases have been associated with high consumption of sweetened beverages. These products are responsible for the largest portion of the total consumption of fructose in the diet and it is suggested that excessive intake of this monosaccharide may contribute to the development of risk factors for these diseases due to differences in metabolism relative to glucose. However, there is a lack of data in the literature demonstrating the deleterious effects of excessive fructose consumption on vasodilation and whether aerobic training may be able to prevent or mitigate these damages in humans. Therefore, the aim of the study will be to verify the effect of 4 weeks of high fructose diet associated with aerobic training on uric acid levels and its influence on markers related to oxidative stress and vasodilatation. Twenty-one sedentary men and women, aged between 19 and 35 years, will be submitted to 4 weeks of intervention. In a randomized way, subjects will be divided into 3 groups: high fructose diet, high glucose diet and high fructose diet and exercise. Blood samples will be taken before, in the middle and after the intervention to verify the concentrations of uric acid, superoxide dismutase enzyme, thiobarbituric acid, nitrite / nitrate, lipid profile, glucose, insulin, C-reactive protein and endothelin-1. In addition, flow-mediated dilatation, insulin resistance index, pancreatic beta cell functional capacity index, oral glucose tolerance test, 24-hour blood pressure, heart rate variability and body composition will be analyzed. The comparisons will be performed through the Generalized Estimates of Equations, adopting the factors group and time. The Bonferroni post-hoc will be used to identify differences. The accepted level of significance will be 5%.
Foot reflexology treatment provides acute and chronic effects on cardiovascular and hemodynamic functions. However, no information is available to us in regarding the treatment effect of foot reflexology after exercise. This study investigated the acute effect of foot reflexology treatment on heart rate variability after anaerobic-based and aerobic-based intermittent exercises.
