Effects of Aerobic Exercise on Vascular Wall Thickness: A Meta-Analysis of Pre-Clinical Trials on Rat Model.

Exercise instigates adaptations in structural as well as functional organisation of the body at tissue and organ levels. However, the effect of exercise on vascular wall morphology is still under investigation. The objective of the review is to provide a meta-analysis of data from the previously published research to provide compiled analysis to determine the effect of exercise on the thickness of large-sized vessel walls.

Effects of nonimmersive virtual reality using Wii-Fit exercises on balance and cognition in Parkinson disease: A meta-analysis.

Background: Patients' compliance and receptivity to nonimmersive virtual reality (NIVR) can enhance their long-term exercise therapy compliance for neurological illnesses. Patients with Parkinson disease (PD) have age-standardized rates of disability, death, and prevalence that are rising the fastest; several researches have revealed that there is no known cure for PD at this time. Thus, the current study investigates how NIVR affects patients with PD using Wii-Fit exercises.

Effectiveness of Evidence Based Physical Therapy Management Approaches in Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction: A Meta-analysis.

Worldwide the prevalence of sacroiliac joint dysfunction (SIJD) lies within a range of 13% to 30%. In approximately 10% to 25% of patients, SIJD is a cause of mechanical low back and leg pain. A total of 498 subjects included in 10 studies conducted from 2018 to 2022 were included in this analysis.

A review analysis of exercise training regimes among females with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Objective: The current systematic review was planned to provide quality assessment of different exercise regimes and their outcomes on the symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome, and to see if one exercise regime was better than the rest.

Methods: Search was conducted on PubMed and Google Scholar databases for studies published between 2001 and 2021 whose full text was available. The search yielded 28 studies that were reviewed.

Effects of high-intensity interval training and strength training on levels of testosterone and physical activity among women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Objective: Polycystic ovary syndrome is a diverse endocrine disorder characterized by hyperandrogenism and ovulatory dysfunction. Hyperandrogenism affects body morphology, resulting in excess weight (overweight or obesity). This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of high-intensity interval training on serum testosterone levels, body fat percentage, and level of physical activity among women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Impact on Mental Health of Families during Covid-19: A Cross-Sectional Survey.

Background: The global pandemic of novel coronavirus outbreaks threatens the general public and health care workers' physical, social and mental well-being. Therefore, the current study is aimed to highlight the status of mental health of families suffering from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods: An online cross-sectional survey was conducted on 560 families through Google Form distributed via email, Whatsapp groups, Facebook, and LinkedIn from November 2020 to January 2021 during the pandemic period in Karachi through the snowball sampling technique.

Effect of Exercise on Inter-Recti Distance and Associated Low Back Pain Among Post-Partum Females: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

This study aimed to emphasize facilitation training and strengthening of abdominal and core muscles in improving the inter-recti distance (IRD) and associated low back pain (LBP) among young postpartum females. A single-blinded randomized controlled trial, among forty young postpartum females, was conducted at a community health center. The females were divided into two equal groups through the envelope method where Group A received abdominal crunch training protocol whereas group B received double straight leg raise (DSLR) exercise protocol for 6 weeks and pre and post IRD and Oswestry disability index (ODI) scores were recorded.

Effect of aerobic and anaerobic exercise on estrogen level, fat mass, and muscle mass among postmenopausal osteoporotic females.

Objective: The life expectancy of women increases with the advancement in modern medicine, leading them to spent about two decades in menopausal state along with its associated complications. The process of aging triggers a deleterious cascade of physiological changes in the body. Hence, the aim of our study is to determine the effects of both aerobic and anaerobic exercises on estrogen level in postmenopausal osteoporotic females.

Role of structured and supervised exercise programmes in peripheral artery disease patients with and without claudication - A Systematic Review and Metaanalysis.

Objective: This review aimed to determine the impact of exercise protocol among peripheral artery disease patients. Literature search was done from 2005 to 2018.

Methods: Databases such as Google Scholar, Medline and PubMed was reconnoitred for the purpose of research articles by using key words like exercise training, peripheral artery disease, ankle brachial index, haemodynamic and atherosclerosis.

Effects of osteoanabolic exercises on bone mineral density of osteoporotic females: A randomized controlled trial.

Objectives: With the increase in the life expectancy of older adults, the scoring diagnosis of osteoporosis has been highly reported hence rising the incidence of fragility fractures due to decrease in bone mineral density (BMD), thereby significantly impacting the quality of life and health status of elderly population. The aim of this study is to identify the impact of different exercise regimes in improving the BMD among osteoporotic females.

Methodology: A trial was conducted on 93 diagnosed postmenopausal osteoporotic females aged 50-75 years screened on the basis of physical activity readiness-questionnaire and YOU form randomly divided equally into three groups', that is, aerobic, anaerobic, and osteoanabolic exercises using an envelope method.
