Blood Glucose Response to Unilateral and Bilateral Resistance Training Among Trained Women (Respon Glukosa Darah ke atas Latihan Bebanan Satu Anggota Badan dengan Dua Anggota Badan dalam Kalangan Wanita Terlatih) / Jurnal Sains Kesihatan Malaysia

@#Exercise selection is one of crucial factors in designing a comprehensive training programme. The exposure of different exercise selection may stimulate the specific adaptation imposed demand. In the construction of any resistance training (RT) programme, it is important to choose whether to apply bilateral (BI) or unilateral (UNI) exercise. The present study aimed to look into the physiological responses of blood glucose (BG) between UNI and BI RT. Quantitative research method was used, RT (UNI versus BI training) as the independent variables whereas BG set as the dependent variable. In order to measure training effects following a single bout of different training intervention (UNI versus BI), a crossover experimental pre and post test design was implemented. A total of sixteen (n = 16) trained women with mean age of 23 (SD = 1.35) years old went through a single bout of RT involved a total body exercise using major muscles group with 80% of 1RM for each protocols (UNI and BI) for 10 repetitions to maximal effort (for 3 sets). Crossover design would be more accurate in exposing different training protocol to a similar characteristic of individuals as compared using different individuals. The results revealed that blood glucose (BG) were statistically changed (p < .001) across times (between PRE to IP, between PRE and 15P as well as between PRE and 30P), and finding shows there is no difference between training protocols (p = .39). Thus, similar responses of UNI and BI RT on BG concentration provides wide selection of exercise method to practitioners specifically to trained women. Future research on UNI versus BI RT could venture onto other types of hormones analysis including insulin, growth hormone and cortisol can be included. Besides, future research should consider a long run study that involve chronic adaptation of RT on human body in order to prevent and alleviate disease.

To Know The Effectiveness Of Experimental Protocol Vs Brandt Daroff Exercises On Dizziness In Benign Paroxysomal Positional Vertigo.

Background and Aim: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)1 is considered the most common peripheral vestibular disorder, affecting 64 of every 100,000 Americans. Women are more often affected and symptoms typically appear in the fourth and fifth decades of life. In 1980, Epley proposed that free-floating densities (canaliths) located in the semicircular canals deflect the cupula creating the sensation of vertigo. This is well documented in his Canalithiasis Theory4,5. Although these canaliths are most commonly located in the posterior semicircular canal, the lateral and superior canal may also be involved Patients with BPPV complain of vertigo with change in head position, rolling over, or getting out of bed, and the vertigo is often side specific. Aim of the study is to know persons with vestibular disorders experience symptoms of dizziness and balance dysfunction, resulting in falls, as well as impairments of daily life. Various interventions provided by physical therapists have been shown to decrease dizziness and improve postural control. In the present review, we will focus on the role of physical therapy in the management of BPPV symptoms of dizziness. Methodology: In the procedure Firstly ,patients will divided into two groups Group A and Group B and all the patient were assessed the pretreatment score and post treatment i.e (0 Weeks and 3 week and 6 weeks) by using the DHI ,The Patients will be randomly allocated Group A Patients was receive exercise protocol, Group B Was given the Brandt daroff exercise .this exercises were given on daily basis .After completion of 6 weeks of the treatment ,Both Group A and Group B were compared Statistical software: statistical software namely SPSS 15.0. Results and Conclusion: The study concluded that designed exercise protocol is effective to reducing dizziness in BPPV patients by measuring the DHI Scale.

Progress of cardiopulmonary exercise testing / 国际生物医学工程杂志

Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) provides a global assessment of the integrative exercise responses involving the pulmonary and cardiovascular systems by testing the gas exchange in airway. CPET is commonly used to evaluate the presence and severity of coronary ischemia, as well as exertional symptoms, heart rate and blood pressure responses and estimated aerobic capacity. CPET has become an important global clinical detection tool, while fewer related researches are carried out in China. The parameters, methods, exercise protocol, equipment, cardiopulmonary function evaluation and clinical application of CPET are introduced in this review.

Efecto de dos protocolos de ejercicio físico en parámetros antropométricos y fisiológicos en pacientes con enfermedad coronaria / Effect of two protocols on physical exercise in anthropometric and physiologic parameters in patients with coronary artery disease

Introducción. El ejercicio físico es esencial para la prevención, tratamiento y rehabilitación de la enfermedad cardiaca, yaque proporciona una serie de beneficios fisiológicos que mejoran la salud y la calidad de vida del paciente.Objetivo. Realizar una comparación entre dos protocolos de rehabilitación cardiaca de fase II, uno bajo las normas de laAsociación Americana de Rehabilitación Cardio-pulmonar (AACRP) y el otro tradicionalista, basado en movimiento básico,sin principios regulados de entrenamiento físico.Metodología. Es un estudio experimental con un diseño de medidas repetidas, en pacientes cardiópatas remitidos a unprograma de rehabilitación cardiaca. Se dividieron en dos grupos: el grupo 1 que trabajó con el protocolo recomendadopor la AARCP y el grupo 2, que trabajó con un protocolo tradicional. Se evaluaron parámetros antropométricos (peso, porcentajede grasa corporal e índice de masa corporal), fisiológicos (frecuencia cardiaca y presión arterial de reposo, consumomáximo de oxígeno y flexibilidad) y bioquímicos (glucemia y perfil lipídico) antes y después del programa de ejercicioscuya duración fue 12 semanas.Resultados. Se reclutaron 35 pacientes, 17 en el grupo 1 y 18 en el grupo 2. El grupo 1 mostró resultados significativamentesuperiores (p<0,05) en las variables peso corporal, porcentaje de grasa corporal, flexibilidad y frecuencia cardiaca dereposo; con ambos protocolos se registraron cambios significativos (p<0,05) en la presión arterial de reposo y el consumomáximo de oxígeno. No se encontraron cambios significativos en el perfil bioquímico con ningún protocolo.Conclusión: El protocolo de ejercicio recomendado por la AARCP mostró resultados superiores al protocolo de ejercicio noestructurado en variables físicas y fisiológicas, pero no en el perfil bioquímico.

Introduction. Exercise is an essential component in cardiac rehabilitation and for secondary prevention in patientswith coronary heart disease. There are several physiological exercise-related benefits from participating in a cardiacrehabilitation program that help to improve health and quality of life.Objective. The main purpose of the study was to compare two phase-II cardiac rehabilitation protocols. One protocolfollowed the guidelines of the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR), and thesecond protocol followed a traditionally nonmonitored exercise training (TNET) program.Methodology. This was an experimental study with a repetitive measurement design, in patients referred for cardiacrehabilitation. The patients were divided into 2 groups: one followed the AARCP protocol and the second group followedthe TNET program. Anthropometric variables such as height, body weight and body fat, were measured and body massindex was calculated. Physiological variables such as resting heart rate, resting blood pressure, flexibility and peak oxygenconsumption were also assessed. Blood glucose, total cholesterol, low and high density lipoprotein cholesterol andtriglycerides were measured as biochemical variables before and after the 12 weeks of exercise training.Results: Thirty five patients were divided into two groups. The AACVPR group (n=18) and the TNET group (n=17). TheAACVPR group showed significantly better results (p<0.05) in decreasing body weight, body fat and resting heart rate, andin improving flexibility than did the TNET group. Both protocols showed similar results for blood pressure and peak oxygenconsumption. There was no significant change in any of the biochemical variables in either group after exercise training.Conclusion: The AACVPR cardiac rehabilitation protocol showed superior results in anthropometric and physiologicalvariables as compared to the TNET cardiac rehabilitation protocol.
