Constant and intense physical activity causes physiological adaptive changes in the human body, but it can also become a trigger for adverse events, such as sudden cardiac arrest or death. Our main objective was to assess use of combined cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) biomarker determinants young professional athletes. We conducted study which involved full examination 19 football players, all male, aged between 18 20 years old. They underwent standard clinical paraclinical...
This study examined the determinants of sustained physical activity. Eighty-four participants undertook a 7-weeks walking regime (i.e., 1-h biometrically-monitored walk, at least 5 days/week), with bioelectrical impedance (BIA) and total cholesterol capillary blood measurements performed before after programme. To investigate behavioural habit formation, 7 weeks termination, all were interviewed (health) re-tested. Data modelled an artificial neural network (ANN) cascading algorithm. Our...
Interacting with children's cognitive processes and mental health status, body mass index (BMI) could be analyzed in relation to motor performance. This study aims analyse the relationship between BMI agility of primary school students northeast Romania. Hypothesis testing was done by analyzing data obtained from 3250 pupils (1605 girls 1645 boys) aged 6 11 years old North-East calculated based on height weight, as well through 505 change direction speed test. The sample divided according...
Abstract Although it is accepted that an important correlation exists between the physical exercise and oxidative stress status, data regarding levels of main markers after training have been difficult to interpret a subject many controversies. There are also very few studies effects short-time on status modifications. Thus, in present report we were interested studying modifications some (two antioxidant enzymes-superoxide dismutase glutathione peroxidase, lipid peroxidation parameter —...
Zinc ions are considered to be one of the most abundant trace elements in human body. Among many important functions, zinc regulate function numerous structural, transcriptional and enzymatic proteins that play roles correct central nervous system. Thus, present work we were interested determining some preliminary relevance for possible effect acute administration on anxiety-like behavior. Our initial results described here showing interesting biotechnological this anxiety-related context...
With magnesium being an essential element in the human body, we are proposing here original study on correlations between and depression their cardiovascular relevance this context, by usage of experimental forced swim test. Thus, data presented could have increased management these disorders, further understanding biochemical supplementation.
The saline aerosols generated in gaseous media, as nanodispersions, behave, with respect to the concentration levels and lifespan, trimodal distributions (the three domains Gaussian distributions: fine or Aitken under 50 �m, medium between 500 mm and, respectively, coarse large 1000 mm). generation latent state is dependent on active surface of source (number generator centres, size position fluorescences, porosity, shape source, etc.), climatic parameters, but also a series other...
Oxidative stress represents the imbalance between production of reactive oxygen species and organism�s capacity to produce antioxidants. This phenomenon has captured lately a lot attention, with an additional increased interest being manifested towards relationship psychological oxidative stress. In present study we decided observe changes which occur in environmental conditions applied rats subjected swimming treadmill exercises, by focusing on preliminary determination (CAT) specific...
In this report we will describe the effect of exercising (6 days, each day 3 separate training phases 5 minutes each, on an adapted treadmill at 1.0 m/s) oxidative stress status from temporal lobe (expressed through main parameters: superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and malondialdehyde (MDA), as a marker lipid peroxidation) pain (as determined 2 specific behavioural tasks such hot plate test for supraspinal acute thermal intra abdominal Zymosan administration eliciting...
Cognitive decline is one of the most important challenges related to aging process, due its impact on individuals. Several studies have reported that physical exercise with a specific intensity and frequency beneficial for maintaining cognitive health in ageing population. The present study investigated general older population Romania. involved 60 individuals (60% male, 40% female), mean age 60.78 years (SD = 2.97). Health Interview Survey Minnesota Heart assessed intensity, while Montreal...

The research aims to compare, according gender age, the times of 5, 10, 15 m children aged 6 11 years north-eastern area Romania. Our proposed distance analysis is scarce literature we want enrich update existing data, especially for region included 3460 primary school students whom grouped chronological age gender. Using TracTronix TF100, 12 groups formed...
Abstract The ankle structure holds one of the most important role in human biomechanics. Due to complexity everyday activities this joint is prone be injured part lower limb. For a complete recovery locomotor function, exercises are mandatory. existent rehabilitation equipments allow only simple exercises, which cannot used safely without aid therapist. introduction robotic physical systems represents modern alternative traditional recovery. Actuated devices advantageous because they many...
Chess playing has a significant role in participants’ resources allocation, both at psychological level, but mostly concerning the cognitive resources. The aim of present study was to examine effect chess on intellectual development primary-class students. 67 children were tested using Raven Standard Progressive Matrices and distributed three different groups according their experience with chess, namely: control group (formed by students no playing), beginners (students less than one year...

We investigated the effects of a 40 min bout bicycle exercise, and vitamin C administration 12 h before on serum markers oxidative stress in young untrained subjects. Increased levels malondialdehyde, marker lipid peroxidation, decrease specific activity antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase that were observed as result pointed to presence exercise-induced stress. These reduced by pre-administration C. The results suggest physically active subjects could increase their daily dietary...
Background and Objectives: Cortisol is a valuable marker for assessing the body’s response to any form of stress. We conducted this study in order evaluate variations salivary serum cortisol levels professional football players relation cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) their significance potentially evaluating overtraining athletes. Also, question whether determination could fully substitute sampling was addressed. Materials Methods: A total 19 male were evaluated by measuring at rest...
