This study aimed to consider the effect of two methods of resistance training with and without vascular occlusion on changes in some serum cytokines in young non-athlete women. Thirty non-athlete women (20 to 30 years of age) were randomly divided into three groups (n=10 in each): resistance training without vascular occlusion (traditional), resistance training with vascular occlusion, and a control group. Resistance training was conducted three sessions for 8 weeks. In the vascular occlusion group, prior to the main exercise, the proximal part of both thighs was closed with a rubber tourniquet and the resistance exercise was performed with an intensity of 20-30% 1-repetition maximum (1RM) until fatigue. In the group without vascular occlusion, the same exercise were performed with similar intensity (with 70-80% 1RM until fatigue). Serum interleukin (IL)-15, IL-6, and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) were measured by ELISA method. One-way ANOVA was employed to compare the changes in the studied variables. The results show that serum levels of IL-6 and TNF-α and IL-15 do not have a significant change in groups with and without obstruction (P>0.05). Numerous studies have evaluated the positive effects of vascular occlusion on muscle hypertrophy and strength during rehabilitation. According to the results of the present study, it seems that the use of vascular occlusion exercise has less effect on inflammatory or IL-15.","PeriodicalId":10709,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Exercise Physiology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87389491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study was conducted on 30 participants diagnosed with TMD associated with forward head posture. Through randomisation, participants were divided into Pilates (n=15) and Bruegger’s (n=15) exercise groups. LLLT was a common intervention for both the groups. Intervention was given for 3 times a week for 3 weeks. Outcome measures were pain intensity using visual analogue scale (VAS), craniovertebral angle (CVA) using ‘ON Protractor’ software application, range of motion (ROM) of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) using ruler and functional impairment using mandibular function impairment questionnaire (MFIQ) assessed at baseline and 3rd-week post-intervention. A statistically significant difference was noted in pain intensity, ROM of TMJ, CVA and functional impairment with pre- and post-intervention comparison (P<0.001). Between-group analysis showed that Pilates group was better than Bruegger’s exercise group in terms of improving CVA (P<0.001), mouth opening (P<0.01) and reducing functional impairment (P<0.01). However, both the groups were equally effective in in reducing pain intensity (P<0.01). Pilates was better compared to Bruegger’s exercises in reducing functional impairment, improved mouth opening and correcting FHP. Further both the groups were equally effective in reducing pain intensity.

Considering the lipid profile is the most important risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), which will have an impact on increasing morbidity and mortality. This study aims to analyze the physiological response of moderate-intensity exercise by listening to music as a modulator of improving lipid profile in young adult men. This study involved 45 young adult men aged 19-21 years, body mass index 19.5-24.0 kg/m2, and met other criteria that have been determined. Participants were randomly divided into three groups: HIPE (high-intensity exercise, n=15), MIPE (moderate-intensity exercise, n=15), and MIPEM (moderate-intensity exercise + music, n=15). Examination of the concentration of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high density lipoprotein (HDL), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (T-C), which is a picture of the lipid profile using the COBAS MIRA system method, was carried out before and after the intervention. One-way ANOVA and Tukey’s honestly significant difference (HSD) post hoc test were used to analyse the data. The results showed that there were significant differences in the levels of LDL, HDL, TG, T-C and blood glucose concentrations between the three groups (HIPE, MIPE, and MIPEM) (P<0.05). The results of the Tukey’s HSD post hoc test showed that MIPEM increased HDL concentrations and decreased LDL, TG, T-C and higher blood glucose compared to HIPE and MIPE, which is effective and without causing an increase in cortisol secretion and blood pressure. Therefore, MIPEM deserves to be recommended for a physiologic therapeutic approach as a lipid profile modulator.","PeriodicalId":10709,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Exercise Physiology","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81811230","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study aimed to investigate the effect of 10 weeks of AT and hydroalcoholic extract of dill (HED) on tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-4 (IL-4), and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) concentrations in gastrocnemius muscle and Lee index of obese male rats. Thirty-two obese male Wistar rats were randomly divided into AT (70-80% of maximal oxygen uptake, 5 times/week), HED (300 mg/kg body weight, 3 times/week), AT+HED, and obese control (Ctr), and eight non-obese rats were included in the non-obese control group (NCtr). Lee index was measured before and after 10 weeks of interventions. Also, rats were sacrificed 48 hs after the last intervention session and gastrocnemius muscle was removed to measure protein concentrations of TNF-α, IL-4, and PPARγ. When compared with the pre-intervention period, the Lee index decreased in the AT and AT+HED groups and increased in the NCtr group at the post-intervention period. Also, there was no significant difference between non-obese and obese rats in the concentrations of TNF-α and IL-4, but the AT+HED group showed a higher concentration of TNF-α than the AT group. Furthermore, the expression of PPARγ protein in the HED group was higher than in the Ctr and AT groups. Although we observed the beneficial effects of AT and its combination with HED in reducing the Lee index, we found that the administration of HED compared with AT can provide better protection against some metabolic complications in the skeletal muscles of obese rats caused by a high-fat diet. Lastly, it seems that the AT combined with HED interferes with possible antiinflammatory effects of AT or HED intervention alone.","PeriodicalId":10709,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Exercise Physiology","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82186851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To investigate the effects of an exercise training protocol on epigenetic parameters (HAT activities and HDAC2 concentrations), inflammatory markers (interleukin (IL)-10, tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and C-reactive protein (CRP)), and cardiopulmonary fitness parameters (VO2peak, ambulatory blood pressure, NOx, endothelin 1 (ET-1), flow-mediated dilation, high density lipoprotein (HDL), and triacylglycerol levels) in treated hypertensive patients. Nine hypertensive patients aged 30-59 years underwent 12 weeks of strength or aerobic exercise 3 times a week. Physical fitness, 24-h blood pressure (systolic and diastolic), flow-mediated vasodilation, blood lipid profile analysis, and biomarkers were assessed before and after the intervention. No alterations were found in epigenetic parameters since HAT activities and HDAC2 concentrations remained unchanged after the intervention. Significant increases were found in VO2peak (pre: 29.1±6.3 and post: 31.5±6.3, P=0.021) and HDL (pre: 41.4±9 and post: 46.8±9.5, P=0.003).

Apart from the bones, the surrounding neuromuscular structures too are an integral part of the knee joint. The development of knee pain due to these surrounding neuromuscular structures, i.e. hip joint and ankle-foot complex is studied in this literature review. This systematic review was done for the purpose to summarise the literature mainly related to various neuromuscular factors related to neuro-muscle imbalances that affect knee pain other than degeneration. Observational studies related to knee pain published up to 2020 were reviewed in this paper. Strength of hip muscles and foot alignment were included in the study. We searched electronic database online for articles on ‘muscular imbalance that causes knee pain’ from Google scholar & PubMed the quality of the selected researches was measured by using PEDro scale. Of the total, 14 selected studies demonstrated that individuals with knee pain had decreased muscular strength for hip abduction, external rotation and extension on the affected side compared with healthy individuals. Flat foot, abnormal Q angle and over pronation or supination of foot can also results in knee pain. This review concluded that hip muscle weakness and abnormal subtalar mal-alignment place extra stress on knee and create muscular imbalance leading to knee pain. This should be prevented by either proper posture or strengthening programs.","PeriodicalId":10709,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Exercise Physiology","volume":"82 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85982392","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
