Aerobic interval training preconditioning protocols inhibit isoproterenol-induced pathological cardiac remodeling in rats: Implications on oxidative balance, autophagy, and apoptosis.

This study aimed to investigate the potential cardioprotective effects of moderate and high-intensity aerobic interval training (MIIT and HIIT) preconditioning. The focus was on histological changes, pro-oxidant-antioxidant balance, autophagy initiation, and apoptosis in myocardial tissue incited by isoproterenol-induced pathological cardiac remodeling (ISO-induced PCR). Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control ( ​= ​6), ISO ( ​= ​8), MIIT ( ​= ​4), HIIT ( ​= ​4), MIIT ​+ ​ISO ( ​= ​8), and HIIT ​+ ​ISO ( ​= ​8) groups.

Astaxanthin Supplemented with High-Intensity Functional Training Decreases Adipokines Levels and Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Men with Obesity.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of 12 weeks of high-intensity training with astaxanthin supplementation on adipokine levels, insulin resistance and lipid profiles in males with obesity. Sixty-eight males with obesity were randomly stratified into four groups of seventeen subjects each: control group (CG), supplement group (SG), training group (TG), and training plus supplement group (TSG). Participants underwent 12 weeks of treatment with astaxanthin or placebo (20 mg/d capsule daily).

Effects of Three Different Modes of Resistance Training on Appetite Hormones in Males With Obesity.

Purpose: This study explored the effect of three different modes of resistance training on appetite hormones [leptin, ghrelin, cholecystokinin (CCK), glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), and peptide tyrosine-tyrosine (PYY)], cardiometabolic and anthropometric measures in males with obesity.

Methods: Forty-four males with obesity (age: 27.5 ± 9.

Platelet activation and function in response to high intensity interval exercise and moderate continuous exercise in CABG and PCI patients.

Background: The effects of high intensity interval training (HIIT) on inflammatory markers and endothelial function have been extensively shown. However, the acute effect of HIIT on platelet activation and function in patients with recent revascularization is unclear.

Objective: The purpose of present study was to compare the responses of platelet activation (CD62P) and function (platelet aggregation) to high intensity interval exercise (HIIE) and moderate continuous exercise (MCE) in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) patients.
