Hemorheological responses to progressive resistance exercise training in healthy young males.

Background: This study aimed to explore the effects of progressive resistance exercise training (PRET) on hemorheology.

Material/methods: Exercise sessions included 1-3 sets of 8-12 repetitions at 40-60% of 1-repetition maximum (1-RM) for 3 weeks and at 75-80% of 1-RM during weeks 4-12. Red blood cell (RBC) deformability and aggregation were determined by ektacytometry, plasma and whole blood viscosities (WBV) by rotational viscometry.

A comparison of heart rate response and frequencies of technical actions between half-court and full-court 3-a-side games in high school female basketball players.

The purpose of this study was to compare heart rate (HR) response and frequency of technical actions between half-court and full-court 3-a-side games in female high school basketball players. Twelve young female basketball players (age 15.5 ± 0.

Comparison of chosen physical fitness characteristics of Turkish professional basketball players by division and playing position.

The purpose of the present study was to compare chosen physical fitness characteristics of Turkish professional basketball players in different divisions (first and second division) and playing positions. Forty-five professional male basketball players (14 guards, 15 forwards, 16 centers) participated in this study voluntarily. For each player, anthropometric measurements were performed, as well as a multi-stage 20 m shuttle run, isokinetic leg strength, squat jump (SJ), countermovement jump (CMJ), 10-30 meter single-sprint and T-drill agility tests.

Comparison of the physiological responses to different small-sided games in elite young soccer players.

The purpose of this study was to compare the blood lactate (La-), heart rate (HR) and percentage of maximum HR (%HRmax) responses among the small-sided games (SSGs) in elite young soccer players. Sixteen players (average age 15.7 6 0.

Reference accuracy in four rehabilitation journals.

Objective: To investigate the incidence of reference errors in major peer-reviewed general physical therapy and rehabilitation journals (American Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (AJPMR), Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (APMR), Clinical Rehabilitation (CR) and Physical Therapy (PT)).

Design: Descriptive, comparative.

Main Outcome Measures: All issues of the AJPMR, APMR, CR and PT between 2003 and 2007 were studied.
