Effect of a Trampoline Exercise on the Anthropometric Measures and Motor Performance of Adolescent Students.

Background: Physical exercises can influence some anthropometric and fitness components differently. The aim of present study was to evaluate how a relatively long-term training program in 11-14-year-old male Iranian students affects their anthropometric and motor performance measures.

Methods: Measurements were conducted on the anthropometric and fitness components of participants (n = 28) prior to and following the program.

Treadmill training modifies KIF5B motor protein in the STZ-induced diabetic rat spinal cord and sciatic nerve.

Background: Previous research has demonstrated diabetic-induced axonal transport deficits. However, the mechanism of axonal transport impairment induced by diabetes is poorly understood. Kinesin motor proteins have been shown to transport various cargos along highly polarized neurons.
