Filter by:The objective of this study is to compare the body composition and physical performance effects of HIIT, with or without intermittent fasting intervention in active women. Fourteen active normal weight women aged 18-35 participated in the study. The effects of 2x8 weeks without (HIIT) or with (HIIT+IF) intermittent fasting caloric restriction (20% reduction in weekly energy intake) on body composition and performance (Hand-grip strength, Counter movement jump, Wingate Anaerobic 30 s Cycling Test), were compared. There were two weeks in between both phases when they did not perform the scheduled activity, so as not to alter the experimental phase.
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of weighted rope jump training on physical fitness in taekwondo athletes. Randomized controlled trail was done on Total 52 male taekwondo players, aged between 13 to 19 years. Players were randomly divided into 2 groups at Khubaib Taekwondo Academy. Experimental group ( n=26) had weighted rope training for 8 weeks, 3 days in a week along with routine taekwondo training and control group (n=26) had to follow only routine training for 8 weeks. Agility t- test, 50 meter run test, sargent jump test, sit and reach test and yo-yo endurance test were performed at baseline, 4th and 8th week to assess the physical fitness in participants. Hand grip dynamometer was used to assess the upper limb strength.
Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of thrower's ten exercises on the upper extremity performance in healthy sedentary individuals. Method: 36 healthy sedentary men and women aged 18-35 years will be included in the study. Subjects will be divided into two groups: exercise and control. The exercise group will be given Thrower's Ten training sessions 3 times a week over an 8-week period. Before and after the study, the subjects were tested for dynamic balance on the upper extremity with the Upper Limp Y balance test and for explosive power with the medicine ball throw test. Moreover, the strength of the shoulder rotator muscles was measured with an isokinetic dynamometer at a speed of 60º/sec.
Test the short-term effects of the acute consumption of two separate beverages containing different concentrations of polyphenols, a beverage containing 75 mg of caffeine and a flavored placebo beverage on mental energy and physical performance
This study analyzed the effects of 15 days of beetroot juice supplementation on different performance measures in elite Spanish distance runners
In men, the hope of lower life, the absence of equivalent of menopause and the existence of a higher peak bone mass are the three factors that explain the lower incidence of osteoporosis in men.
It has been shown that foot and ankle postural disorders can alter the biomechanic of lower extremity and pelvis. This situation can affects balance, postural control and phsical performance of individual adversely. However, it is unknown whether the muscles that control lumbopelvic are affected or not affected. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between foot-ankle characteristics and lumbopelvic control, balance and physical performance in healthy young adults.
In men, the hope of lower life, the absence of equivalent of menopause and the existence of a higher peak bone mass are three factors that explain the lower incidence of osteoporosis in men. Epidemiological data indicate a prevalence of 15% among men aged over 50 years (Szulc et al. 2000). According to global analyzes, the number of fractures of the upper end of the femur in humans will increase from 400 000 to 800 000 per year between 2000 and 2025 (Kanis et al. 2004). Furthermore the mortality due to major osteoporotic fractures when they occur in humans than that seen in women (Johnell and al.2001).The main goal of this study is to establish reference curves in elderly male volunteers from 20 to 30 years through the assessment of bone mineral density of the spine, hip, and the measurement of body composition (fat mass, lean mass). This study will allow us to establish the mean and standard deviation of the value of the young adults of the same sex, which will eventually be applied in the calculation of the "T-score" for older people.

Meals-on wheels may play a major role in contributing to better nourishment and quality of life in older people, thus delaying costly hospitalisation. Still, dwelling, old adults who receive meals-on-wheels are a population at risk of undernutrition leading to a decreased quality of life. Hypothesis Offering nutritious ELDORADO meals as meals-on-wheels to nursing home residents in 3 months is an effective way to increase quality of life. Aim To improve quality of life and functional abilities in nursing home residents by offering nutritious ELDORADO meals.
