Obesity is associated with insulin resistance in skeletal muscle; accordingly, weight loss dramatically improves action. We sought to identify molecular remodeling of muscle commensurate that could explain improvements Muscle from morbidly obese women was studied before and after gastric bypass surgery. Gastric surgery significantly reduced body mass by approximately 45% improved then assessed mRNA profiles using a stringent statistical analysis (statistical concordance three probe set...

Despite growing evidence showing the effects of exercise and cognitive trainings on enhancing attention, little is known about combined exergame attention in children with deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Exergame, a form using video game, has both stimulation physical activity components been shown to improve function children.The purpose this study was investigate effect exergaming compare induced by aerobic ADHD.In all, 30 ADHD, aged 8-12 years, were randomly divided into an group...

Ultra-high-performance fibre reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) exhibits remarkable compressive strength and ductility which, when applied to structural members, enable significant reduction of the cross-section. However, very low water-to-binder ratio high fineness admixture used for fabrication UHPFRC provoke large shrinkage strain at early age. If such is restrained by form or internal reinforcement, may become highly vulnerable occurrence cracks caused subsequent section. Therefore, this study...

[Purpose] This study compared the effects of pilates and an exercise program on craniovertebral angle, cervical range motion, pain, muscle fatigue in subjects with a forward head posture (FHP). [Subjects Methods] A total 28 sedentary females (age 20 to 39 years) FHP were randomly assigned (n=14) combined groups. The was randomized, controlled, double-blind two groups performing 50 min/day, 3 days/week, intensity 11-15 rating perceived exertion (RPE) for ten weeks. main outcome measures...

Despite increasing interest in the effects of exergaming on cognitive function, little is known about its older adults with dementia.The purpose this to investigate executive and physical functions dementia compared regular aerobic exercise.In total, 24 moderate participated study. Participants were randomized into either exergame group (EXG, n=13, 54%) or exercise (AEG, n=11, 46%). For 12 weeks, EXG engaged a running-based AEG performed cycling exercise. At baseline postintervention,...

OBJECTIVES Sasang Constitution is a traditional Korean medical system that classifies individuals into four types, Taeyangin, Taeeumin, Soyangin, and Soeumin, based on physical psychological traits. widely used for disease prevention treatment, emphasizing the potential of personalized healthcare. However, concerns about accuracy reliability diagnostic tools like Questionnaire Classification II (QSCC II) persist. This study investigates impact an 8-week lifestyle modification classification...

This study aimed to clarify the pure synergistic effect of an adequate protein intake (1.5 g/kg body weight/day) and resistance exercise (RE) on muscle strength, composition, metabolic markers in sedentary adults, excluding confounders arising from excessive or impaired turnover. A double-blind randomized controlled trial was performed apparently healthy adult participants (n = 34). RE for 4 weeks placebo (PLA-EX, n 17) whey supplement groups (PRO-EX, 17). Body isokinetic muscular function,...

Modeling of low severity soft-tissue injury due to unwanted collisions a robot in collaborative settings is an important aspect be treated safe physical Human-Robot Interaction (pHRI). Up now, safety evaluations for pHRI were mainly conducted by using criteria related with impact forces and head accelerations. These indicate severe the robotics context leave out such as contusions lacerations. However, design intrinsically safer arm, reliable evaluation collision between human that based on...

This study investigated the effects of expansive agent (EA) and shrinkage-reducing (SRA) on mechanical shrinkage properties ultra-high-performance concrete. Along with a reference specimen, work considered five different specimens ratios SRA (1% 2%), EA (5% 7·5%) combination 1% 7·5% EA. The test results revealed that compressive strength varied inclusion EA, while tensile decreased according to admixing free strain was obviously reduced by including specimen showed lowest strain. inner steel...

Background: Hypertension is common in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS), and it an important risk factor for cardiovascular-related morbidity mortality. Compared to moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT), high-intensity interval (HIIT) considered a time-efficient exercise strategy cardiometabolic health. We compared the effects of HIIT MICT on epicardial fat thickness (EFT) endothelial function hypertensive MS. Methods: In total, 34 participants MS (mean age: 50.9 ± 7.9 years)...

In recent years, collision safety has been one of the most important issues for service robots. To ensure assurance, a passive compliance method is preferred to an active because it can provide faster and more reliable responses dynamic collision. Since both positioning accuracy are equally important, robot arm should have very low stiffness when subjected force greater than causing human injury, but maintain high otherwise. order realize these ideal features, novel safe joint mechanism...

In order to investigate the combined effect of expansive and shrinkage-reducing admixtures on shrinkage mechanical properties ultra high performance fiber-reinforced concrete, a series experiments including three types tests, compressive flexural penetration-resistance test were performed. Test results showed that about 51–53% free 35–49% restrained steel strains reduced by adding 1% admixture along with 7.5% slight change strength. Elastic stress, residual interface pressure degree...

(1) The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect whey protein supplementation under dietary control on improvements in muscle mass and function following resistance exercise training. (2) Thirty-two men were randomly assigned a group taking isolate (PSG, n = 17) placebo (CON, 15). Participants provided with three meals per day corresponding estimated individual daily energy intake. supervised program conducted 60 min day, six days week, for four weeks. (3) Post-intervention, there...

Systemic oxidative stress plays a role in many degenerative diseases. Although regular physical activity has been known as the most effective nonpharmacological intervention to alleviate stress, beneficial effect varies between individuals. We investigated whether NADPH oxidase p22phox gene C242T and A640G polymorphisms are associated with systemic level response exercise training (ExTr). Fifty-nine sedentary middle-aged older Caucasians relatively high cardiovascular disease risk factors...

We initiated a pilot study to investigate the effects of 8 wks aerobic exercise training (ET) on insulin sensitivity and inflammatory markers in obese insulin-resistant minority adolescents. Eleven morbidly (BMI 41.4 ± 1.8 kg/m 2 ) adolescents were entered into supervised ET intervention (~180 min/wk at 40–55%VO 2Peak R [(VO − VO 2Rest )/VO ]). The (S I ), inflammation other metabolic syndrome features examined. Results: Insulin action improved response training, as indicated by ~37%...

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is classified as a combination of risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD), and postmenopausal women are specifically at an increased MetS, in part due to the hormonal metabolic changes that occur menopause transition. It crucial combat components MetS with appropriate lifestyle interventions this population, such exercise. This study aimed examine effects resistance band exercise training program obese MetS. A total 35 were randomly assigned either control...
