"I feel too lethargic to do physical activity": Perceptions of Iranian adults on the barriers to perform regular physical activity.

Despite the intention to perform physical activity (PA), a number of individuals cannot manage to have PA program on a regular basis. In this study we explored the barriers of regular PA behavior among healthy adults in Tabriz, Iran. This qualitative study with a conventional content analysis approach, was carried out from June to September 2020.

Cardiac Autonomic Modulation in Response to Three Types of Exercise in Patients with Type 2 Diabetic Neuropathy.

Purpose: Physical exercise is necessary in the handling DM, but it is not distinct which kind of physical exercise can improve cardiac autonomic modulation in T2DM. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of three different modalities of exercise (aerobic, resistant, and combined) on cardiac autonomic modulation as measured by HRV in patients with type 2 diabetic neuropathy.

Methods: The participants were 45 men (age: 55.

Effect of aerobic training on nerve conduction in men with type 2 diabetes and peripheral neuropathy: A randomized controlled trial.

Objective: Peripheral neuropathy (PN) is one of the long-term complications of diabetes. Few studies have investigated the role of regular exercise on diabetic PN. We examined the effect of aerobic training on nerve conduction velocity and action potential amplitude in the lower limbs of men with type 2 diabetes and PN.

Effects of resistance exercise and the use of anabolic androgenic steroids on hemodynamic characteristics and muscle damage markers in bodybuilders.

Background: Anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS), synthetic compounds of testosterone commonly used as sport performance enhancers, could cause cardiovascular dysfunction and cell damage. Even though the side effects of AAS intake have been widely studied, yet little is known about how resistance exercise can alter these side effects. This study aimed to determine the effects of one session resistance exercise and the use of AAS on hemodynamic characteristics and muscle damage markers in professional bodybuilders.

Effects of age on hemorheological responses to acute endurance exercise.

The purpose of this investigation was to examine the effects of age on the acute responses of hemorheological variables and biochemical parameters to a single bout of sub-maximal endurance exercise. Fifteen young (20-30 years), 15 middle-aged (40-50 years) and 12 old (60-70 years) male subjects participated in the study. All subjects performed one single bout of endurance exercise encompassed 30-min cycling at 70-75% of maximal heart rate which was followed by 30-min recovery.
