The sub-acute effects of high-intensity interval training in healthy young adults: respiratory parameters, aerobic capacity and perceived stress.

Background: Although the effects of sub-maximal continuous aerobic training (SCT) and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) are well studied in performance athletes and in several patient groups, there is not much evidence about the effects of these exercises in sedentary healthy young population. The aim of the study was to compare the effects of these two different types of aerobic exercises on respiratory parameters, aerobic capacity and perceived stress in healthy university students.

Methods: Thirty-six healthy, young subjects with a mean age of 20.

Relationship of side dominance and ultrasonographic measurements of pronator quadratus muscle along with handgrip and pinch strength.

Aims: We ascertained effects of hand dominance in both right and left-handed volunteers on the thickness and cross sectional area (CSA) of pronator quadratus (PQ) muscle as measured by the axial and sagittal views of ultrasound imaging. Secondly, we also aimed to document the extent of the relationship between the PQ measurements and handgrip.

Materials And Methods: Healthy adults from the volunteer medical staff were included in the study.

Analysis of the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the intermittent and constant osteoarthritis pain questionnaire.
