We studied the alterations in concentrations of total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein triglycerides, and apoproteins A B serum 54 patients hospitalized for various reasons, who developed sepsis during their stay. Forty these required intensive care, 14 did not. Another group with same underlying pathological conditions was used as a control. found following: Sepsis causes to decrease, whereas triglycerides increase. However, changes are not related infectious agent, illness, or...
The aim of the study was to compare effects bilateral, unilateral, or combined bilateral and unilateral plyometric training (PT) on muscle power output, endurance, balance performance adaptations in young soccer players.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect a short-term plyometric training program on explosive strength and endurance performance in highly competitive middle- long-distance runners. Athletes were randomly assigned control group (CG, n = 18, 12 men) an (TG, 10 men). Drop jump (DJ) from 20 (DJ20) 40 cm (DJ40), countermovement with arms (CMJA), 20-m sprint time, 2.4-km run time test carried out before after 6 weeks training. Also, combined standardized (CSP) analyzed. After...
In a randomised controlled trial design, effects of 6 weeks plyometric training on maximal-intensity exercise and endurance performance were compared in male female soccer players. Young (age 21.1 ± 2.7 years) players with similar load competitive background assigned to (women, n = 19; men, 21) control groups. Players evaluated for lower- upper-body exercise, 30 m sprint, change direction speed before after training. After intervention, the groups did not change, whereas both improved jumps...
Our purpose was to investigate the effects of low-volume, high-intensity interval training (HIT) on cardiometabolic risk and exercise capacity in women with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Sedentary overweight/obese T2DM (age=44.5±1.8 years; BMI=30.5±0.6 kg/m(2)) were randomly assigned a tri-weekly running-based HIT program (n=13) or non-exercise control follow-up (CON; n=10). Glycemic control, lipid blood pressure levels, endurance performance, anthropometry measured before after (16...

Our aim was to investigate the effects and prevalence of nonresponders (NR) high-intensity interval training (HIIT) resistance (RT) in women with insulin on cardiometabolic health parameters. Sedentary overweight/obese insulin-resistant (age = 33.5 ± 6.5 yr; body mass index 29.9 3.7 kg/m 2 ) were randomly assigned a triweekly HIIT program (HIIT; n 18) or (RT; 17). Anthropometry (body mass, fat muscle waist circumference, skinfold thickness), cardiovascular (blood pressure), metabolic...
Background: This study evaluated the effects of resistance training (RT) and high-intensity interval (HIIT) on systolic (SBP) diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in hypertensive older adults undergoing pharmacological therapy over four eight weeks. We compared efficacy RT HIIT reducing non-responders (NRs) between weeks 4 8 analyzed time-course adaptations NRs responders (Rs). Methods: Thirty-nine participants were randomized into RT-G (n = 13), HIIT-G or control (CG, n 13) groups. utilized...
The purpose of this study was to compare the acute effects general, specific and combined warm-up (WU) on explosive performance. Healthy male (n = 10) subjects participated in six WU protocols a crossover randomized design. Protocols were: passive rest (PR; 15 min rest), running (Run; 5 at 70% maximum heart rate), stretching (STR; static exercise), jumping [Jump; exercises - 3x8 countermovement jumps (CMJ) drop from 60 cm (DJ60)], (COM; Run+STR+Jump combined). Immediately before after each...
Surveillance of physical activity (PA) is essential for the development health promotion initiatives. The aim present study was to examine prevalence PA and sedentary behaviour with respect socio-demographic factors in Chile.A representative sample 5434 adults aged ≥15 years (59% women) who participated Chilean National Health Survey (2009-2010) were included. Socio-demographic data (age, sex, environment, education level, income level smoking status) collected all participants. levels...
The purpose of the study was to compare effects progressive volume-based overload with constant on muscle explosive and endurance performance adaptations during a biweekly short-term (i.e., 6 weeks) plyometric training intervention in young soccer players. Three groups players (age 13.0 ± 2.3 years) were divided into: control (CG; n = 8) (PPT; without (NPPT; increase volume 16 jumps per leg week, an initial 80 each session). Bilateral unilateral horizontal vertical countermovement jump arms...
Strong evidence shows that physical inactivity increases the risk of many adverse health conditions, including major non-communicable diseases, such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), metabolic syndrome, and breast colon cancers, shortens life expectancy. We aimed to determine effects moderate (MCT)- versus high-intensity interval training (HIT) on vascular function parameters in physically inactive adults. hypothesized individualized HIT prescription would improve more than MCT a greater...
There has not been much study of risk profiles in older people according to different levels practice physical activity. For this reason, the aim research was evaluate whether elements that influence quality life and factors such as gender education can predict level activity physically active elderly population. The Fernández−Ballesteros questionnaire WHO International Physical Activity Questionnaire were applied a sample 397 with mean age 69.65 years (SD = 4.71). results revealed following...
