We have investigated the cardioprotective effects of exercise training and/or curcumin on lead acetate-induced myocardial damage. Forty rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: (1) acetate, (2) curcumin, (3) endurance training, (4) + (5) sham groups. The in groups 3 and 4 experienced treadmill running 15 to 22 m/min for 25 64 minutes, times a week 8 weeks. Groups 1 received acetate (20 mg/kg), group solvent (ethyl oleat), solution (30 mg/kg) intraperitoneally. Lead administration resulted...

Gait asymmetries have been documented in individuals after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR). The relationship between gait asymmetry and associated psychological factors, however, is not yet known. This study aimed to examine the kinesiophobia (fear of reinjury) vertical ground reaction force (vGRF) lower-extremity muscular activity ACLR during gait. Twenty-eight males with a history participated study. Force plate surface electromyography was used record peak vGRF...

This paper presents a protocol for randomised control trial to compare the effect and durability of corrective exercise, manual therapy focused on back versus hip disability, function, pressure pain threshold, mapping, health psychological status elderly with chronic pain. A total 75 participants will be assigned randomly into three groups, including back-focused exercises (n=25), hip-focused (n=25) (n=25). Primary outcomes (disability function) secondary (pressure factors) evaluated before,...

Physical-functional fitness (PFF) assessments have become crucial tools for identifying physical frailty syndrome (PFS) in older adults, helping guide preventive and interventional strategies. This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of performance-based PFF tests detecting PFS among community-dwelling adults Tehran, Iran. Additionally, it sought compare variables between groups assess applicability these as practical screening clinical community settings. Data were collected from...

Abstract We aimed to understand whether ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM) and dynamic knee valgus (DKV) kinematic inter-limb asymmetries would be associated with the Lateral Step-Down Test (LSD) in basketball players chronic instability (CAI), patellofemoral pain (PFP) healthy controls (HC). An observational cross-sectional study a between-subject design was employed. Female athletes CAI (n = 20), PFP 20) HC were recruited. Ankle dorsiflexion-ROM, DKV angle during single-limb squat,...

Abstract The Lower Extremity Functional Test (LEFT) is a reliable and valid test for the measurement of athletic fitness, fatigue resistance, speed performance. Contradictory results exist regarding screening value LEFT in predicting lower limb injuries. purpose this study was to investigate injuries professional male footballers. One hundred twenty-one football players participated study. recorded pre-season lower-limb were during 9-month season. Logistic regression analysis used determine...

The aim of this prospective cohort study was to identify whether Y-Balance Test (YBT) performance and asymmetry are associated with lower limb injury in elite adult football athletes.

The agricultural sector in general, and Iran particular, is a major consumer of water now finds itself under significant pressure due to deficiency. This study used the Protection Motivation Theory detect reasons for imprudent consumption further its conservation. was extended particular application seriously affected basin, Urmia Lake Basin Northwest Iran. factors governing water-saving intention among farmers were investigated. Three hundred selected through multi-stage, clustered, random...

Abstract Background The “FIFA 11 + Shoulder” programme has been reported to reduce the incidence of upper extremity injuries among soccer goalkeepers. It also recommended for overhead sports. purpose this study was therefore investigate effect an 8-week shoulder” (11 S) on shoulder joint position sense (JPS), threshold detect passive motion (TTDPM) and quarter Y Balance Test in young male volleyball players. Methods Thirty-two healthy elite players (17.49 ± 1.47 years) participated...

Purpose The high demand for fast, energy-efficient, compact computational blocks in digital electronics has led the researchers to use approximate computing applications where inaccuracy of outputs is tolerable. purpose this paper present two ultra-high-speed current-mode full adders (FA) by using carbon nanotube field-effect transistors. Design/methodology/approach Instead threshold detectors, which are common elements logic, diodes used stabilize voltage. Zener and ultra-low-power within...

We aimed to investigate whether composite Functional Movement Screen (FMS) test scores can predict musculoskeletal injuries (MSI) in youth volleyball players. 131 national young players (Males: n = 100, age 16.5 years, height 1.787 m, mass 68.32 kg; Females: 31, 13.83 1.684 65.12 kg) participated this prospective cohort study. The FMS screen was performed before starting the season. MSI and exposure data were collected during season via each team's certified athletic trainer. mean score...

Lead is a highly neurotoxic agent that particularly affects the developing central nervous system. In current study we investigated neuroprotective effects of exercise training and/or diferuloyl methane (DM) supplement, which known as curcumin, on lead acetate-induced neurotoxicity in rat hippocampus. Sixty rats were randomly divided into six groups: 1) acetate, 2) DM 3) endurance training, 4) training+ 5) sham and 6) base. The groups performed treadmill running consisting 15 to 22 m ·...

The scheduling of clinical rehabilitative exercise should combine best possible delivery with the most efficient use time, facilities, equipment, and personnel. However, it is not clear whether distribution a fixed amount volume more over longer time period in week (distributed manner) than shorter (massed manner).To evaluate effects distributed versus massed within- between-session on balance, performance, pain perception middle-aged women knee pain.Thirty-four female volunteers (mean age ±...

Abstract Responses of the left ventricle oxidant/antioxidant markers such as glutathione peroxidase (GPx), superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA) and protein carbonyls (PCs) induced by lifestyle modification, including turmeric supplementation exercise training, were investigated in rats during chronic exposure to lead acetate. Forty male randomly divided into five groups: (1) acetate; (2) turmeric; (3) endurance training; (4) training + (5) sham‐operated groups. Enzyme activities...

The aim was to examine the directionality of global training effects in middle-aged women after unilateral training.Thirty-nine female volunteers (59.4 ± 5.4 years) were randomly assigned one three groups: 1. Unilateral Dominant Lower Limb Training (UDLT); 2. Non-Dominant (UNDLT) or 3. Control group. Outcome measures assessing isometric strength, static and dynamic balance recorded at baseline, 1 week 12 weeks (post-test) no-intervention.The net cross education adaptation changes...

The association of pre-participation knee muscle strength status with lower limb injury occurrence was investigated. Knee extensors and flexors including the traditional hamstrings/quadriceps (H/Q), Q/Q, H/H, non-dominant H/Q: dominant H/Q, HQ:HQ, ratios were recorded before 10 month judo activity. Fifteen sport injuries for 53 judokas during follow-up questionnaires. Significant accuracy H/Q ratio 60º/s (AUC 0.702, 95% CI 0.520 to .883, p = 0.023), as well HQ:HQ 300º/s .318, 0.138 0.497,...
