The effect of exercises on left ventricular systolic and diastolic heart function in sedentary women: Step-aerobic vs core exercises.

Unlabelled: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of 16 weeks step-aerobic exercises and core exercises on left ventricular structure and function with some physiological parameters in sedentary women.

Methods: To achieve the purpose of this study, a total of 45 volunteers including (step-aerobic group (SAG, n = 25), core exercise group (CEG, n = 20) were selected as participants. Two different exercises were applied for 4 days a week, throughout 16 weeks, within 60 minutes for each exercise with the intensity of heart rate (HR) 60-70 percent.

Growth and pubertal development in adolescent male wrestlers.

Unlabelled: BACKGROUNDː Adolescence is a crucial period for linear growth, and sports training during this time may have positive or negative effects on some physiological processes as growth. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of intense training during somatic growth on the onset of puberty and growth development in adolescent wrestlers.

Methods: Fifty adolescent male wrestlers and twenty-one sedentary healthy male controls aged between 13-15 years were selected.

The effects of two different exercise programmes on adipose tissue hormones in sedentary middle-aged women.

Adipokines play an important role in obesity and related inflammatory disorders. We aimed to determine the effects of exercise training on serum adipokines. Forty sedentary women were randomly assigned to two groups as aerobic (AE) and core exercise (CE).

Gonadal function in male mountain bikers.

Some studies reported testicular disorders associated with biking in mountain cyclists, which include injuries, erectile dysfunction, and higher scrotal temperatures. But none of these studies evaluated gonadal function. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate gonadal function in male mountain bikers.
