Abstract We investigated the effects of 8 weeks (3 days per week) running interval training (RIT) combined with blood flow restriction (RIT-BFR) on maximal performance (RPmax), isokinetic muscle strength, and endurance in athletes. Twenty endurance-trained male runners were pair-matched randomly assigned to RIT-BFR RIT groups. The group performed (50% heart rate reserve, 5 sets 3 min each, 1-min rest interval) inflatable cuffs (1.3× resting systolic pressure), same without cuffs. RPmax,...

In terms of public health, obesity and overweight have become major concerns worldwide. Nevertheless, regarding body composition, it is important to a more precise understanding the fat-to-muscle ratio. Hence, this study aimed adopt bioelectrical impedance measurements test fat percentage (BF%) determine associations between health-related physical fitness both (BF) distribution BF risk in Taiwanese adults. We conducted cross-sectional reviewed data derived from Taiwan’s Scientific Physical...

Background The highest proportion of smoking behavior occurs in male adults Taiwan. However, to our knowledge, no study has investigated the relationship between and health-related physical fitness according education level, health status, betel nut-chewing status obesity aged 18 years or older Aims This aimed determine associations cigarette performance Taiwanese adults. Methods was a cross-sectional conducted on 27,908 (aged 23–64 years) who participated Taiwan's National Physical Fitness...

Through this study, we aimed to determine the association of regular leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) with self-reported body mass index (BMI) and obesity risk among middle-aged older adults in Taiwan. We conducted a cross-sectional study reviewed data derived from Taiwan National Physical Activity Survey (TNPAS). Responses 12,687 participants aged 45-108 years database were collected study. All completed standardized structured questionnaire that solicitated information regarding their...

Background Although previous studies have shown that aerobic and resistance exercise increase high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels, the optimal type of has not been determined. Therefore, purpose this study was to investigate association jogging (a exercise) weight training with HDL-C levels in Taiwanese adults.Methods The data used cross-sectional were obtained from Taiwan Biobank (TWB), which is a national health resource contains genetic information volunteers aged 30–70...

A study of heavy water in continuous thermal-diffusion columns on modified Frazier-scheme, resulting substantial improvement the separation efficiency water, was developed and investigated with column length varied at a constant ratio flow-rate fraction variations. The analytical results are represented graphically compared that classical Frazier-scheme same length. Considerable enrichment obtained by employing such variations instead using thermal diffusion effect number as well variation...

The primary aim of this study was to examine the relationships between smoking status and health-related physical fitness balance ability in older males residing Taiwan. This investigation adopted a cross-sectional design, utilizing data from 7688 who took part 2014-2015 wave National Physical Fitness Survey Various sources, including standardized structured questionnaire, anthropometric measurements, assessments, tests, were analyzed. participants divided into three categories based on...

In this study, we aimed to determine the associations among health-related physical fitness measurements, waist circumference (WC), and abdominal obesity risk in Taiwanese adults. We conducted a cross-sectional study based on data from 2017 Taiwan Scientific Physical Fitness Survey (the TSPFS). collected responses 17,973 participants (7907 men 10,066 women) aged 23–64 years for study. The completed protocol with standardized structural questionnaire series of measurements. measurements...

Background and Objectives: Health-related physical fitness reduces the risk of chronic disease, promotes quality life, has enormous economic benefits considering global health care costs resulting from obesity. However, relatively limited information is available regarding dose–response relationship between scientific obesity risk. This study aimed to determine associations with body mass index (BMI) distribution overweight/obesity among adults aged 23–64 years in Taiwan. Materials Methods:...

It is well known that low-intensity resistance exercise combined with blood flow restriction (LIRE + BFR) can lead to increase in the metabolic stress and motor unit recruitment, which may contribute greater gains muscle hypertrophy, strength endurance after a period of training. However, effect running (RE on acute physiological responses still unknown. PURPOSE: This study aimed investigate following LIRE +BFR or RE BFR. METHODS: Twelve male track field athletes were recruited participate...

PURPOSE: Concurrent improvements in maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) and muscle strength aerobic (e.g., walking running) training combined with blood flow restriction (BFR) has been reported. However, the retain effects of BFR on VO2max muscular is still unknown. Therefore, this study investigated 2 weeks detraining performance following running BFR. METHODS: Twenty male athletes were recruited pair matched into: (1) thigh group (RT-BFR, n=10), or (2) only (RT, n=10). Before detraining, all...
