Abstract This study examined the effects of a nine-week intervention four different high-intensity training modalities [high-intensity functional (HIFT), interval (HIIT), power (HIPT), and endurance (HIET)] on resting concentration brain-derived neurotropic factor (BDNF). In addition, we evaluated BDNF responses to Graded Exercise Test (GXT) Wingate Anaerobic (WAnT) in men. Thirty-five healthy individuals with body mass index 25.55 ± 2.35 kg/m 2 voluntarily participated this were randomly...

Purpose Repeated sprint exercises (RSEs) are widely used to improve physical fitness; however, their specific effects on cardiac autonomic recovery (CAR) in individuals of different ages and biological maturation (BM) stages still lack investigation. Our objective was analyse the effect RSE CAR, assessed by heart rate (HR) index time frequency domains variability (HRV) male adolescents adults. Methods Non-randomised experimental study. Thirty-eight classified as having a high level activity...

Purpose Stroke is the second most common cause of mortality worldwide and third motor disability. From another perspective, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) a metabolite that plays several neuroprotective roles. While cardiometabolic diseases are leading stroke, BDNF represents target in prevention and/or recovery from stroke. Aim: In this narrative review, I have summarised clinical evidence participation stroke discuss potential use exercise as rehabilitation tool. Methods Multiple...

Background The biological maturation (BM) analyzed by peak height velocity (PHV) and bone age (BA), lean body mass has been associated with the strength muscle power of young athletes. However, ability BM (PHV BA) LM markers to predict in athletes remains uncertain. Objective Aim was determine predicting relation upper lower limbs adolescent at puberty. Methods Ninety-two (both sexes; 12.4 ± 1.02 years) were assessed for composition dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Power (ULP), force...

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plays an essential role in nervous system formation and functioning, including metabolism. Present only humans, the “Val66Met” polymorphism of BDNF gene ( ) is suggested to have a negative influence on etiology neurological diseases. However, this has been addressed, at molecular level, nonhuman models. Knowledge about Val66- Met66-variant differences, date, achieved protein level using either cell culture or animal Thus, purpose our study was analyze...

Background Complex contrast training (CCT) is potentially an efficient method to improve physical abilities such as muscle strength, power output, speed, agility, are extremely important in developing soccer players of different age categories. Aim This study aimed analyze the effects 6 weeks CCT program applied frequency (sessions per week) on youth performance. Methods Twenty-one (age: 15.3 ± 1.1 years; body mass 64.9 0.7 kg; height 175.4 cm) were randomized into three groups: a regular...

Excessive oxidative stress and exercise-induced fatigue reduce physical performance can lead to dysfunction in antioxidant systems within muscular hepatic tissues. Integrating natural substances with exercise may mitigate via anti-oxidant effects. This study aims compare evaluate the effects of supplementation Sundarbans honey vs energy drinks on strength, anxiety physiological profiles, capacity mice undergoing extraneous fatigue. Forty-eight four-week-old Swiss albino were randomly...

Obesity is a serious disease that burdens public health systems around the world. It risk factor for development of several non-communicable chronic diseases are related to amount and distribution body fat. Body composition assessment using simple low-cost techniques can help in early detection excess fat, allowing prevention treatment both obesity associated diseases. Thus, identifying proposing valid anthropometric indices this purpose be great ally programs.To verify validity Adiposity...

Depression is the most prevalent stress-related disorder affecting population world-wide with potential for an eminent increase after 2020 pandemic. The mechanisms through which metabolism involved in depression and stress disorders have been extensively investigated. However, their assessment using exogenous measures a current limitation. Exercise, as well reported animal studies, exerts critical regulatory influence on main factors known to participate these mechanisms. This overview...
