Filter by:Exercise training is beneficial for both health and performance. Histamine has been shown to be involved in the acute exercise response. The current study addresses the role of histamine H1/H2 receptor signaling in the chronic training-induced adaptations. Results from this study will yield more insights into the molecular mechanisms of adaptations to exercise training.
This randomized controlled trial will determine the effects of 12-weeks of wheelchair user-modified upper-body rowing on both traditional cardiometabolic risk factors in SCI manual wheelchair users.
MAIN OBJECTIVE: to assess whether an exercise protocol on the lumbar musculature by adding manual therapy techniques on the diaphragm muscle has the same or greater effect on chronic non-specific lumbar pain than an isolated exercise protocol. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: to evaluate the effectiveness of a lumbar exercise protocol in chronic non-specific low back pain in isolation; To evaluate the effectiveness of both therapies in improving joint range in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain and, finally, to assess catastrophism and the avoidance of lumbar mobility when carrying out loaded movements. HYPOTHESIS: that a lumbar exercise protocol combined with manual therapy treatment on the diaphragm is equal or more effective on pain in patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain than treatment with the same lumbar exercise protocol in isolation.
Tai Chi exercises have increasingly grown in popularity among older adults in the past decades. It has been well studied to its efficacies in proportion with the management of elderly fall prevention and mineral-structured bone density enhancement. Nevertheless, existing study sources do little exemplified a quantifiable measures of effects in patients suffer from osteoarthritis of knees being impacted from a routine performance of Tai Chi.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of two different home exercise methods on exercise compliance, neck pain and neck disability in individuals with neck pain. Material and metods: The study, carried out between February 2018 and May 2018 at Istanbul Arel University Vocational School, was performed with 60 people aged 25-60 years who were suffering from neck pain in academic and administrative staff. The cases were randomly divided into two groups. In Group 1, the case was given home exercise method (B.M.E.Y) with printed materials whereas Group 2 was given exercise with home exercise method (V.H.E.Y) with video phone reminder. Pain intensity was evaluated before and after exercise with 'Visual Analog Scale' (VAS), whereas the level of neck disability was evaluated before and after exercise with 'Neck Pain and Disability Score' (NPDS). The obtained results were analyzed using appropriate statistical methods.
Lower extremity amputation causes rapid changes in musculoskeletal system. With the effect of these changes, the energy requirement for prosthetic ambulance is much higher than normal ambulance. Although methods such as the reduction of the segmental load of the prosthesis and the preference of the different prosthetic components for energy expenditure have been emphasized, the effect of exercise types has not been investigated in our knowledge. Therefore, the aim of the current study is to investigate the effect of spinal (Core) stabilization exercises on energy expenditure in combination with the classical physiotherapy program in patients with unilateral transtibial amputation. Individuals with transtibial amputation included in the study will be randomly divided into two groups. In group 1, basic exercises related to amputation will be applied for 8 weeks and in group 2 basic exercises with spinal stabilization exercises will be applied to the individuals. At the beginning and at the end of the exercise intervention, energy expenditure and exercise capacity will be evaluated by a portable exercise test device during '6 Minutes Step Test'; fatigue assessment will be done before and after 6 Minutes Step Test with 'Modified Borg Scale'; the strength of deep spinal muscles will be evaluated with 'Stabilizer'; dynamic balance and functional mobility will be evaluated by 'Timed Up & Go' Test; and the effect of the prosthesis on mobility will be evaluated by the sub-scale 'Mobility' of 'Prosthetic Evaluation Questionnaire'.
The aim of this randomized cross-over controlled study was to assess the effects of an 4-week exercise program on the recovery capacity after a voluntary maximal apnea. Participants will be randomly allocated to receive either a high intensity interval training (HIIT), or an inspiratory muscle training (IMT) using an inspiratory resistance device.
Aging is associated with physiological declines that could impair the ability to perform activities of daily living and thus impair the quality of life of older adults. Golf is an activity that challenges the balance, flexibility, and muscular systems of the golfer and could have important implications in addressing the physiological declines associated with aging. Golf also challenges the cognition of golfer and is typically performed in groups of 2-4 people; therefore, it could also have important implications for the cognitive and social health of older adults. This research will investigate the effects of an introductory, therapeutic golf program on the physiological, cognitive, and social well-being of older adults. Older adult military veterans (60-80 years) will participate in a 12-week introductory golf program specifically designed with older adults in mind. The intervention will be led by Professional Golf Association (PGA) professionals with experience in teaching older adults to golf. In order to assess the effectiveness of the intervention, the functional, physiological, and cognitive abilities of the participants will be evaluated as well as the overall well-being before and after the completion of the golf program. These adaptations will be evaluated through the use of biomechanical analysis, standardized older adult functional tests, validated surveys and questionnaires, and validated cognitive assessments.
Aerobic exercise is recommended for individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) and can improve quality of life, both physically and mentally. The most efficacious program to achieve these exercise benefits is unknown. Recently, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) has been shown to be safe and more effective in many high-risk populations with limited exercise tolerance. Shorter bouts of exercise are likely better tolerated in PD due to difficulty sustaining muscle contractions. The goal of this project is to determine whether HIIT produces superior cardiorespiratory, neuromuscular, biomechanical, and clinical adaptations than conventional continuous moderate intensity training (CMIT) in PD.
Exercise training is a cornerstone for the prevention and treatment of metabolic disorders and associated cardiometabolic complications such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) and hypertension. Similar to the beneficial health effects after performing conventional continuous exercise modalities, high intensity interval training (HIIT) has been reported as an effective alternative exercise-modality to improve glucose homeostasis in both prediabetes subjects and individuals with T2D diagnosed. In this regard, although multiple HIIT-based interventions commonly report acute and long term benefits on body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness and insulin sensitivity in metabolically compromised subjects, little is known about the acute cardiovascular response (i.e., at heart rate level) during HIIT in subjects with different glucose control. HIIT is described as performing brief periods of exercise at vigorous or maximal intensity, interspersed with inactive or low intensity recovery phases of variable duration. In order to characterize different HIIT-based protocols, exercise intensity is usually defined as relative percentages of individual maximal cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2max) or relative maximal power output values. Nevertheless, the need for specific technological equipment to assess these parameters usually limit the prescription and recommendations of HIIT in clinical settings and other public health contexts at massive level. Additionally, the use of self-perceived exertion scales and heart rate (HR) variations upon HIIT have been demonstrating to be accessible and feasible strategies to regulate exercise intensity during HIIT. For example, it was reported that HR and self-perceived exertion scores increased progressively in T2D subjects, parallel to the oxygen consumption rate throughout an acute HIIT session performed on cycle ergometer. Consequently, it is conceivable to hypothesize that determining HR variations during HIIT might optimize the recommendation of this training methodology in metabolically compromised subjects as those at risk or with T2D diagnosed. Therefore, the aim of the present study was To describe and compare the acute heart rate changes in response to an incremental maximal exercise test and a single HIIT session between normoglycaemic (NG), prediabetes (Pre-T2D) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) subjects.
