Our aim was to determine the effects of resistance training on cardiovascular risk factors in postmenopausal women. Forty-five women were included study. Resistance exercises done with an intensity 60% 1-Repetition Maximum, for 12 weeks. Heart rate, blood pressure, estimated peak VO(2), lipid profiles, and homocysteine levels evaluated. There significant time group interactions body mass index (p = .02), heart rate .04), systolic pressure .03), mean VO(2) .00), total cholesterol but there no...

BACKGROUND: There is no consensus about treatment of neck patients who have radicular symptoms. OBJECTIVE: The purpose the study was to investigate effect stabilization exercise training on pain and functional status in with cervical radiculopathy. METHODS: (n= 32) w ith radiculopathy were randomized two groups as follows: Stabilization group (Group 1; n= 18); Home-exercise 2; 16). evaluated visual analog scale, Neck Disability Index, SF-36 (Short-Form), Corbin postural assessment scale hand...

Therapeutic exercises are well documented for the treatment of osteoarthritis; there is less evidence on what effect closed kinetic chain knee osteoarthritis. The aim this study was to investigate effects open and pain, muscle strength, functional status, quality life in patients with osteoarthritis.The included a total 60 primary unilateral osteoarthritis grade I II. were categorized into three groups as (n=20), control group (n=20). outcome measures, including isokinetic life, collected at...

<i>Background and Aims:</i> Elevated plasma homocysteine (PH) levels have been identified as a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. The aims of this study were to investigate the influences submaximal acute aerobic exercise training on PH lipid profiles. <i>Methods:</i> 69 volunteersubjects (21.12 ± 2.08 years) randomized three groups acute, control groups. Examination blood samples collected before immediately after in group 6 weeks later...

Purpose: To investigate the influences of regular sub-maximal aerobic and resistance exercise trainings for 3 months on plasma homocystenie level other CVD risks (lipid profile, body mass index, etc.) compare effects these two different types training parameters. Method: Thirty-eight individuals mean aged 21.68±1.38 years were included. Participants divided into three groups as (AE) (n=13), (RE) (n=13) control group (CT) (n=12). Exercises done four times a week during 12 weeks. CT (n=12)...

The objective of this study was to determine whether there are changes in peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) and chest expansion after a standardized physical therapy program patients with chronic neck back pain. In university-based, out-patie

The ankle-foot complex plays a key role in maintaining balance because it collects proprioceptive data. Kinesio taping (KT) is rehabilitative method performed by the cutaneous application of special elastic tape. mechanical correction technique KT was suggested to reposition joints and alter parameters. aim reveal pure effects ankle on balance, range motion (ROM), muscle strength healthy individuals.Forty students were recruited for this randomized, sham-controlled study at local university....

Objectives: The aim of the study was to determine effects chronic pain severity and duration in patients with osteoarthritis [OA] on pressure-pain threshold [PPT] proprioception.Methods: groups consisted painful joints healthy normal controls painless joints. degree evaluated Chronic Pain Grade Questionnaire. PPT measured a dolorimeter proprioception passively.Results: Sixty-three OA, mean aged 55 ± 10.60 years, were included this study. Twenty-four had knee arthritis, eight hip 31 shoulder...

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) on pain, functional level upper extremity, and quality life (QOL) in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS).
