Lipocalin-2 is a novel adipokine which is secreted from adipose tissues and is closely associated with low inflammation, obesity, insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 8 weeks of selected aquatic aerobic training on lipocalin-2, glycemic indices and lipid profile in overweight middle-aged men. 24 overweight men (BMI≥25 Kg/m2, age range of 45 to 55 years old) were selected randomly from 70 volunteers after a public call. After they met necessary requirements, they were divided into experimental (n=12) and control (n=12) groups. Training program included selected aquatic aerobic training with 45-65% of maximum heart rate for 8 weeks. Blood samples were collected before and after training to measure study variables. The comparison of control and experimental groups with independent t test showed a significant difference in lipoprotein-2, insulin resistance index, cholesterol, triglyceride and LDL-C (P<0.05) while changes in glucose, insulin and HDL-C variables were not significant (P>0.05). Results showed that aquatic aerobic training could have positive effects on reducing some cardiovascular risk factors in overweight middle-aged men. Therefore, these types of training can be recommended by sport and health experts for these individuals.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of glutamine supplementation and judo preparatory training on positive and negative acute phase proteins in young Judoists. Accordingly, in a Quasi-experimental, double-blinded study, 48 young Judo (age: 21.34±5.13 years, height: 173.54±3.7 cm, weight: 70.56±6.14 kg) were randomly and easily- accessible selected, and randomly divided into 4 groups (n=12 for each group): exercise-supplementation, exercise placebo, supplementation, and control. Subjects in the supplementation group and placebo (maltodextrin) in prior and post of each session consumed 0.1 g/kg Bw supplement or placebo in Combined with 300 ml of water. The exercise program comprised Judo fitness training for 14 days and 5 sessions per week. Resulting data were analyzed by dependent t-tests and two-way ANOVA test at 0.5alpha error levels (P

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of whole body vibration on improvement of performance of patients with Multiple sclerosis. In this study, 73 patients with MS a mean age of 73±2.63 years participated, out of which 20 patients took part with complete satisfaction. They had average disability ranging from 2.05 to 4.5. The subjects were divided into four groups based on Bosco plan: 1 control group and 3 experimental groups. The 1st group did their job in 6 sessions and within 6 weeks. The 2nd group did their job in 12 sessions and within 6 weeks and the last group in 18 sessions and within 6 weeks. The Vibration frequency was 15-25 Hz. Having finished the exercise, the neuromuscular function was assessed with the standard 5-chair and TUG test. In order to analyze the data,SPSS version 18 was used in level of significance of α=5. The results of repeated measures analysis of variance and one-way analysis of variance showed that the whole body vibration exercise significantly decreased the time of 5-chair test (P<0.03) and tug test (P<0.03). The 5-chair test with three sessions a week training exercise had significantly better neuromuscular function than the two other groups (P<0.04). Whole-body vibration exercises in people with MS disease results in improvement of neuromuscular function.

considered a growing cause of cardiovascular diseases. Intercellular adhesion molecules and pro-inflammatory cytokines are new prognostic and diagnostic factors for cardiovascular disease. Accordingly, the present study attempted to investigate the Effect of omega-3 consumption and participate in aerobic activity on sICAM-1 and pro-inflammatory cytokines in obese elderly women. Quasi-experimental study was a double-blinded. 40 obese women (BMI ≥30) 55 to 65 years were randomly and easily-access ible selected, and then were randomly categorized into 4 groups of 10 individuals - exercise- placebo, exercise - supplements, supplements and placebo. Individuals in the supplements group consumed 2080 mg omega-3 supplements for 8 weeks. and placebo group used sunflower oil placebo produced in Zacharia Company. Exercise program included aerobic exercise 45 to 60 percent of maximum heart rate for 8 weeks, 60 minute and 3 sessions per week. after 12 h fasting in the pre-test and 48 hours after the last training session, blood sampling was obtained. Resulting data were analyzed by dependent t-tests, two-way ANOVA test and Tukey post hoc test was used at 5% alpha error level (p< 0.05). statistical test results indicated that there is a significant interactive effect between exercise and supplements in reducing serum sICAM-1 factor (P<0.05), meaning that not only reduction in sICAM-1 was influenced by the separate effects of complements and exercise, but combined intervention on both exercise and supplements had a synergistic effect on the reducing the concentrations of this inflammatory factor. In addition, the effect of exercise and exercise accompanied by omega3 led to significant decrease in TNF-α and IL-6 level, although omega3 alone had no effect on these factors (p˂0.05) The results of this study showed 8 weeks aerobic exercise with consumption of omega3 fatty acids family could led to significant decreased amount of selected factors in serum and can be used as a way for preventing, controlling and decreasing atherosclerosis.

Obesity is a growing cause of cardiovascular diseases. Accordingly, the aim in present study was to investigate the effect of Aerobic Training with Omega-3 Consumption on Soluble Adhesion Molecules in the Obese Women. In a double-blind study, 40 obese women (BMI ≥30) 55 to 65 years were selected, and randomly divided into 4 groups (n=10 for each group): exercise-supplementation, exercise-placebo, supplementation, and control. Subjects in the supplementation group consumed 2080 mg omega-3 daily and the placebo group consumed a 0.02 dextrose solution as a placebo. The exercise program comprised aerobic exercise to 45% to 65% maximum heart rate for 8 weeks; each session was sustained for 40 min and continued for 3 sessions per week. Exercise, supplementation and combined exercise – supplement can sICAM-1 concentration significantly decreased (P< 0.05). On the other hand, serum sVCAM-1 concentration decreased significantly only in the exercise-supplement group (combined) and IL-6 concentration significantly decreased in the exercise group and exercise-supplement group (combined) (P < 0.05). Measurement of Adhesion Molecules is a useful method in the diagnosis of inflammation and vascular disorders. In addition, regular aerobic exercise and omega-3 supplements are two effective and moderating factors; in reducing the of adhesion molecules and pre-inflammatory cytokines.

Obesity is considered a growing cause of cardiovascular diseases. The cellular and vascular cell adhesion molecules have been identified as the new inflammatory indicators of forecasting and predicting cardiovascular diseases. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to investigate the effect of selected aerobic activities and consumption of omega-3 supplementation on plasma concentrations of sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 in elderly obese women. In a double-blinded study, 40 obese women (BMI ≥ 30) 55 to 65 years old, were selected in a non-random and easily-accessible way and were randomly categorized into 4 groups of 10 individuals: exercise-placebo, exercise-supplements, supplements, and placebo. Subjects in the supplement groups consumed 2080 mg of omega-3 supplement for 8 weeks and placebo groups used sunflower oil produced in Zachariah Company, as placebo. Exercise program included aerobic exercise activities at 45 to 60 percent of maximum heart rate for 8 weeks, three 60-minute sessions per week. After 12 h fasting in the pre-test and 48 h fasting after the last training session, blood sampling was conducted. Data analysis included paired-t test and two-way ANOVA and was carried out using SPSS software (version 16). The obtained results showed that there was a significant interaction between exercise and supplements in reducing serum sICAM-1 factor, suggesting that sICAM- 1 reduction was both influenced by the separate effects of supplements and exercise, and the combined intervention of both exercise and supplements which had a synergistic effect on reducing the concentrations of this inflammatory factor. In addition, serum sVCAM-1 decreased significantly only in the exercise-supplement group (combined) (P < 0.05). Discussion and The results indicated that considering sensitivity and accuracy of new inflammatory indices, measuring these indicators could be useful in the diagnosis of inflammation and vascular disorders. Besides, regular aerobic exercise and omega-3 supplements are two effective and moderating factors reducing the level of adhesion molecules (sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1) and inflammation
