Objective Hepcidin may be an important mediator in exercise-induced iron deficiency. Despite the studies investigating acute exercise effects on hepcidin and markers of metabolism, we found no examining chronic walking exercises (WE) metabolism premenopausal women. The two 8-week different-intensity WE hepcidin, interleukin 6 (IL-6), pre-menopausal women were examined. Methods Exercise groups (EG) [moderate tempo group (MTWG), n = 11; brisk (BWG), 11] walked 3 days/week, starting from 30 to...

Effects of two different eight-week aerobic training programs consisting continuous (CR) or extensive interval running (IR) on serum growth (GH) and cortisol hormones in 33 male basketball players aged 15-16 were assessed. The CR group ran 4.8 km the IR 4 x 1.2 km, using equal work-to-rest ratio, three times per week. Aerobic power scores all subjects anaerobic marks increased (p<0.01). Upon exertion, though GH levels both exercise groups (p<0.01) prior to following training; only training,...

Objective: To investigate the effects of 12-week two-different intensity resistance training programs on bone turnover markers, mineral density (BMD), osteoprotogerin (OPG), and soluble receptor activator nuclear factor kappa ? ligand (sRANKL) in postmenopausal women. Material Methods: Forty healthy women (aged 45-60 years) participated study. High-intensity group (HIG; n=14) worked 4 days a week performed two sets 8-10 repetitions at ~70-80% 1 repeat maximum (RM). Low-intensity (LIG; n= 13)...

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and the ratio of free-to-total PSA are widely used tumour markers, but effect exercise on these parameters is unclear. We aimed to determine whether long-term physical training was associated with changes in serum by comparing concentrations middle-aged master athletes (n = 12), recreational 12) sedentary controls 12). Serum total free were assessed using an electrochemiluminescence immunoassay; there no significant differences among groups. The significantly...

Abstract Objectives This study aims to examine effects of aerobic jogging and explosive power exercises on body composition, maximal oxygen consumption (MaxVO 2 ), bone mineral density (BMD) turn-over markers: serum alkaline phosphatase (BAP), C terminal telopeptide (CTx), Procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide (PINP), in men aged between 20 40. Materials methods Thirty seven healthy males were divided into exercise group (EG, n=19) control (CG, n=18). EG completed 10 weeks outdoor...

Aim: In the recent years, effects of long term exercise on physiological systems have been thoroughly investigated. The aim this study was to investigate effect long-term physical cognitive processing in elderly male athletes. Materials and Methods: Master athletes who had exercising regularly (EME), healthy sedentary volunteers (HSE) middle-aged (HSMA) were included study. Indirect maximum oxygen uptake capacity (VO2max) determined by Astrand Test. Cognitive function (P300) recorded at same...

Abstract Objective: The relationship between exercise and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, insulin resistance, obesity is a new field of research. To our knowledge, there are no studies examining the effects walking exercises on ER stress related markers resistance in pre-menopausal women. examine effect two different eight-week programs tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), Fetuin-A (α2 - Heremans Schmid glycoprotein), c-Jun N-terminal kinase-1 (JNK-1) retinol- binding protein-4 (RBP-4),...

Objective: It is known that high-intensity exercises lead to muscle damage and fibrosis. This study aims compare some plasma inflammation markers in elite master athletes, recreational athletes sedentary males determine injury. Material Methods: 60 healthy male participants (min-max 45-65 years) were divided into 3 groups: Elite performing high intensity training (EMAG; n=22), moderate (RG; n=21) controls (CG; n=17). Resting serum levels of the monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1),...

Amac. Embriyonel hayatta tamamlanan kisiye ozel dermatoglifik ornek dagilimlarinin farkliligindan yola cikilarak calismamizdaki Ege Bolgesi erkek elit sporcularinin (ES) orneklerinin, sedanter bireylerden (SB) farkinin olup olmadiginin arastirilmasini ve her iki grubun antropometrik biyokimyasal verilerinin degerlendirilmesini amacladik. Yontem. Bolgesindeki ES’lerin (n=105) SB’in calismasini, el olcumlerini testlerini gerceklestirdik. Genetikte yardimci tani yontemlerinden olan...

Aim: The aim of the study was to examine effect two different intensity (walking speeds) walking programs on resistin and visfatin levels in pre-menopausal women. Material Methods: Thirty-seven women (30-49 years) were divided into a high-intensity group (HIWG; n=12), moderate-intensity (MIWG; n=14), control (CG; n=11). exercise groups walked for twelve weeks, five days per week from 30-60min/day. HIWG MIWG at 70-75% 50-55% maximum heart rate reserve, respectively. Body weight, percent body...
