Respiratory responses and isocapnic buffering phase in child and youth soccer players during an incremental exercise test.

Purpose: This study investigated the respiratory response and isocapnic buffering (IB) phase during an incremental exercise test to exhaustion in 16 child soccer players (11.9±0.9 years) and 18 youth soccer players (18.

Changes in hematopoietic stem cell numbers following acute exercise in non-athlete marathon runners.

Purpose: Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplant is one of the curative methods for some patients with hematological malignancies. Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is the most common drug used to mobilize CD34 cells, generally found in small numbers. Recent evidence showed that exercise causes transient mobilization in HSC.

The relationship between cardiac damage biomarkers and heart rate variability following 60 min of running.

Purpose: Endurance exercise may cause transient alterations in cardiac tissue. The number of studies evaluating the relationship between changes in heart rate variability (HRV) and cardiac biomarkers following an endurance event is limited. We hypothesized that there would be a time-dependent correlation between biomarkers of cardiac damage and the reduction in parasympathetic indices of HRV within 24 h after 60 min of running in middle-aged recreational runners.

Effects of a supervised therapeutic exercise program on musculoskeletal health and gait in patients with haemophilia: A pilot study.

Introduction: Episodes of bleeding in patients with haemophilia (PwH) are associated with haemophilic arthropathy, limitations in physical performance, reduced quality of life (QoL), and gait disorders.

Aim: This non-randomized, controlled, interventional, prospective, single-centre pilot study aimed to assess the effects of an 8-week supervised therapeutic exercise program on musculoskeletal health, gait kinematic parameters (GKP), functional capacity, and QoL in adult PwH.

Methods: Nineteen PwH were allocated to an exercise group (n = 10) or a control group (n = 9).

A Comparison of the Maximal Fat Oxidation Rates of Three Different Time Periods in The Fatmax Stage.

This study aimed to compare the maximal fat oxidation (MFO) rates obtained from the stage average, last 2 min average, and highest value in the Fatmax stage determined with a 6 min step protocol. A total of 35 overweight, sedentary healthy men (age: 25.4 ± 0.
