[Purpose] The purpose of the present study was to investigate if lactate thresholds in
rats could be accurately determined during downhill running in rats. [Subjects]
Twenty-four female Wistar rats were used in this study. Rats were randomly divided into
two groups: the level running group and downhill running group. [Methods] Catheters were
inserted into the right external jugular veins of the rats. Two days after the operation,
the rats performed incremental exercise tests. The level running group ran on a treadmill
at a 0° incline; the downhill running group ran on a treadmill at a −16° incline. The
lactate threshold was determined using the 2-line combination that minimizes the total sum
of squares for fitting all data. [Results] Maximal running speeds and running speeds at
the lactate threshold for the downhill running group were significantly higher than those
for the level running group. [Conclusion] In this study, it was possible to accurately
determine the lactate threshold during downhill running. These findings suggest that when
the treadmill speed is the same, downhill running can be done at lower metabolic intensity
than level running.Key words: Lactate threshold, Downhill running, Eccentric contraction 相似文献

[Purpose] We assessed the effects of aerobic exercise and strengthening exercise on pain
pressure thresholds (PPTs) over time. [Subjects and Methods] Fifteen healthy participants
were recruited and randomly divided into 3 groups: aerobic exercise, strengthening
exercise, and control. The subjects in the aerobic group walked on a treadmill for 40 min
at 6.5 km/h. The subjects in the strength group performed circuit training that included
bench press, lat pull down, biceps curl, triceps extension, and shoulder press based on
the perceived exertion for 40 min. The subjects in the control group rested without any
exercise in a quiet room for 40 min. The PPTs of 5 potential muscle trigger points before
exercise, and immediately after 10 and 40 min of exercise or rest were measured using an
electronic algometer (JTECH Medical, USA). The Friedman’s, Kruskal-Wallis, and
Mann-Whitney tests were performed using SPSS 18.0 (IBM, Korea). [Results] The PPTs of all
subjects decreased after 10 min of exercise, but the difference was not statistically
significant. The PPTs of the control group decreased after 40 min. Furthermore, the PPTs
of 3 muscles increased after 40 min of aerobic exercise and of 6 muscles after 40 min of
strengthening exercise. No significant difference in PPTs was noted among the groups.
[Conclusion] The results show that 40 min is a more appropriate exercise time, although
the efficacy of controlling pain did not differ between strengthening exercise and aerobic
exercise.Key words: Aerobic exercise, Strengthening exercise, Pain pressure thresholds 相似文献

[Purpose] In the present study, we investigated the effect of antecedent exercise on
functional recovery and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression following
focal cerebral ischemia injury. [Subjects] The rat middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO)
model was employed. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 4 groups.
Group I included untreated normal rats (n=10); Group II included untreated rats with focal
cerebral ischemia (n=10); Group III included rats that performed treadmill exercise (20
m/min) training after focal cerebral ischemia (n=10); and Group IV included rats that
performed antecedent treadmill exercise (20 m/min) training before focal cerebral ischemia
(n=10) as well as treadmill exercise after ischemia. At different time points (1, 7, 14,
and 21 days) Garcia’s score, and the hippocampal expressions level of BDNF were examined.
[Results] In the antecedent exercise group, improvements in the motor behavior index
(Garcia’s score) were observed and hippocampal BDNF protein expression levels increased.
[Conclusion] These results indicate that antecedent treadmill exercise, before permanent
brain ischemia exerts a neuroprotective effect against ischemia brain injury by improving
motor performance and increasing the level of BDNF expression. Furthermore, the antecedent
treadmill exercise of appropriate intensity is critical for post-stroke
rehabilitation.Key words: Antecedent exercise, Brain-derived neurotrophic factor, Cerebral ischemia 相似文献

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to verify the efficacy of a pelvic floor muscle
exercise program by comparing subjects’ muscle thickness with changes in vaginal pressure.
[Subjects] Two groups of female participants without a medical history of pelvic floor
muscle dysfunction were evaluated. The mean age of Group I was 33.5 years and that of
Group II was 49.69 years. [Methods] The participants were instructed to perform a pelvic
floor muscle contraction. While measuring the vaginal pressure of the pelvic floor muscle,
biofeedback was given on five levels, and the thicknesses of the transversus abdominis,
external oblique, and internal oblique muscles were measured with ultrasound. [Results]
The thickness of the transversus abdominis muscle was significantly increased at 30
cmH2O in Group I, and at 20 cmH2O in Group II. The thickness of
the internal oblique abdominal muscle significantly increased at maximum contraction in
Group II. [Conclusion] Different abdominal muscles contracted depending on vaginal
pressure. The result may be used to create and implement an exercise program that
effectively strengthens the pelvic floor muscles.Key words: Pelvic floor muscle contraction, Vaginal pressure, Abdominis muscle 相似文献

The effect of skin resection on joint contracture was determined by comparing the first
measurement of range of motion after cast removal and the second measurement after the
skin resection. This study aimed to verify that both the joint movement during the
measurement and skin affect range of motion. [Subjects] Twelve female Wistar rats were
used. [Methods] The right hind limb ankle of each rat was immobilized in complete plantar
flexion in a cast. In the resection group (n = 6), the skin of the right hind limb ankle
was removed surgically, but not in the non-resection group (n = 6). In the resection
group, the first measurement of the dorsiflexion angle was obtained after the cast was
removed, and the second measurement was obtained after skin resection. In the
non-resection group, both measurements of the dorsiflexion angle were obtained soon after
the cast was removed. [Results] Compared with the non-resection group, the resection group
showed a significant increase between the first and second measurements of range of
motion. [Conclusion] These results show that range of motion is substantially affected by
skin, in addition to joint movement, during measurement.Key words: Joint contracture, Skin, Rat 相似文献

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of heel-height changes on
the low joint angles of the lower extremities of women in their 20s during gait. [Subjects
and Methods] Qualisys Track Manager Software ver. 2.8 (Qualisys, Sweden) was used to
perform measurements on 14 female university students in their 20s. To measure movements,
the subjects were asked to walk while wearing high-heeled shoes and reflective stickers on
their hip joints, knee joints, and ankle joints, the changes in joint angles were measured
at heel strike, foot flat, and toe off. [Results] Analysis of the amount of change
according to heel height changes during gait showed that the angle of the hip joints was
reduced with an increase in heel-height. Although the changes were not significant, the
angle of the knee joints was reduced during heel strike, foot flat, and midstance, and it
was increased during toe off. In contrast, the angle of the ankle joints was increased by
a significant amount during heel strike, foot flat, midstance, and toe off. [Conclusions]
During gait with high heels, the movements of the lower extremities of women in their 20s
were reduced significantly with an increase in heel height. Therefore, it is concluded
that the restrictions on gait can only be reduced by wearing low-heeled shoes.Key words: Heel height, Gait, Low extremity 相似文献

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate differences in effects caused by
variation in the intervention frequency of outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation, in terms
of the pulmonary function, lower-limb muscle strength, exercise tolerance, and quality of
life (QOL). [Subjects and Methods] A total of 36 patients with mild to severe chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) were studied. These patients were all men over the
age of 40 who did not require assistance for activities of daily living (ADL). Groups
undergoing intervention once a month (M1 group) and once a week (W1 group) were compared
in terms of the effects of outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation for a period of 12 weeks.
Intervention during this time included supervised and home-based exercise. [Results]
Comparison of before and after intervention revealed that the rate of change in the W1
group was significantly higher than that in the M1 group in terms of the QOL,
lower-extremity muscle strength, and 6-minute walking distance. [Conclusion] Outpatient
pulmonary rehabilitation programs yielded greater improvements in the W1 group than in the
M1 group in terms of the QOL and exercise tolerance.Key words: COPD, Pulmonary rehabilitation as outpatient, Frequency of intervention 相似文献

OBJECTIVES:
To examine the strength deficits of the shoulder complex after stroke and to characterize the pattern of weakness according to type of movement and type of isokinetic parameter.METHOD:
Twelve chronic stroke survivors and 12 age-matched healthy controls had their shoulder strength measured using a Biodex isokinetic dynamometer. Concentric measures of peak torque and work during shoulder movements were obtained in random order at speeds of 60°/s for both groups and sides. Type of movement was defined as scapulothoracic (protraction and retraction), glenohumeral (shoulder internal and external rotation) or combined (shoulder flexion and extension). Type of isokinetic parameter was defined as maximum (peak torque) or sustained (work). Strength deficits were calculated using the control group as reference.RESULTS:
The average strength deficit for the paretic upper limb was 52% for peak torque and 56% for work. Decreases observed in the non-paretic shoulder were 21% and 22%, respectively. Strength deficit of the scapulothoracic muscles was similar to the glenohumeral muscles, with a mean difference of 6% (95% CI -5 to 17). Ability to sustain torque throughout a given range of motion was decreased as much as the peak torque, with a mean difference of 4% (95% CI -2 to 10).CONCLUSIONS:
The findings suggest that people after stroke might benefit from strengthening exercises directed at the paretic scapulothoracic muscles in addition to exercises of arm elevation. Clinicians should also prescribe different exercises to improve the ability to generate force and the ability to sustain the torque during a specific range of motion. 相似文献11.
[Purpose] The present study investigated the effects of regular exercise on the
improvement of free fatty acid (FFA) levels and metabolic risk factors of stroke patients.
[Methods] The subjects were 20 male patients aged 47−59 years who were diagnosed as having
hemiplegia resulting from stroke. Exercise was conducted using a stationary bicycle, a
rehabilitative exercise machine. The exercise program utilized the heart rate reserve
(HRR) method to create an exercise intensity amounting to 50−70% of the target heart rate
(THR). The program lasted for 30 minutes and was conducted 5 times per week for a total of
12 weeks. [Results] In stroke patients, 12 weeks of exercise training yielded a
significant interaction effect with weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference
(WC), and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR). There were also significant differences in
triglycerides (TG) according to the time of measurement, and an interaction effect was
observed for triglycerides (TC). High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC), an important
marker of improvement in metabolic risk factors, showed a significant interaction effect
with exercise training. In addition, free fatty acids (FFA) showed a significant
difference based on the time of measurement and showed a significant negative correlation
with HDLC (r = −0.77). [Conclusion] The results of the present study suggest that regular
exercise by stroke patients reduces their risk of metabolic complications and stroke
recurrence by reducing obesity indices, improving serum lipid and FFA levels, and
increasing HDLC levels.Key words: Stroke patient, Metabolic risk factors, Free fatty acids (FFA) 相似文献

Weakening of trunk muscles in stroke patients hinders functional ability, safety and
balance. To confirm whether strengthening trunk muscles could facilitate rehabilitation of
stroke patients, we investigated the effectiveness of sling exercise therapy (SET) using
closed kinetic chain exercises to activate trunk muscles and improve balance in stroke
patients. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty stroke patients with chronic hemiplegia were
equally divided into 2 groups, a SET group and a control group that performed regular
exercises on a mat with the assistance of a table. Patients in both groups exercised for
30 min, three times per week for 4 weeks. Trunk muscle activity was measured using surface
electromyography, whereas balance was measured using the Berg Balance Scale, Frailty and
Injuries Cooperative Studies of Intervention Technique, Timed Up & Go test, and
BioRescue before and after the 4-week experimental period. [Results] Trunk muscle activity
and balance before and after intervention in both groups were significantly different.
However, no significant differences were observed between the 2 groups. [Conclusion]
Although SET was not more effective than regular exercise, significant improvement was
observed before and after SET. Therefore, SET can be considered effective in strengthening
trunk muscles in stroke patients with chronic hemiplegia.Key words: Chronic stroke patients, Sling exercise therapy, Trunk muscles 相似文献

[Purpose] This study aimed to identify the effects of the CORE exercise program on pain
and active range of motion (AROM) in patients with chronic low back pain. [Subjects and
Methods] Thirty subjects with chronic low back pain were randomly allocated to two groups:
the CORE group (n = 15) and the control group (n = 15). The CORE group performed the CORE
exercise program for 30 minutes a day, 3 times a week, for 4 weeks, while the control
group did not perform any exercise. The visual analog scale (VAS) and an algometer were
used to measure pain, and pain-free AROM in the trunk was measured before and after the
intervention. [Results] The CORE group showed significantly decreased VAS scores at rest
and during movement and had a significantly increased pressure pain threshold in the
quadratus lumborum and AROM in the trunk compared with those in the control group.
[Conclusion] This study demonstrated that the CORE exercise program is effective in
decreasing pain and increasing AROM in patients with chronic low back pain. Thus, the CORE
exercise program can be used to manage pain and AROM in patients with chronic low back
pain.Key words: CORE exercise program, Chronic low back pain (CLBP), Active range of motion (AROM) 相似文献

[Purpose] To investigate the correlation between the effect treadmill exercise and
change in serum proteins in rats with osteoarthritis, a study of proteins was carried out
using a mass spectrometer. [Subjects and Methods] Rats were randomly divided into five
groups. After 4 weeks of treadmill training, serum from each rat was analyzed by Liquid
chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry. Complementary component 9
(C9) was discovered to be downregulated in the serum of the exercise groups, and this was
validated by Western blot. [Results] Seventeen proteins were discovered to be elevated in
the monosodium iodoacetate injection osteoarthritis group samples by more than 1.5 fold
compared with the control group. One of the proteins upregulated, C9 protein, was
validated, and it was found to decrease in the middle-intensity exercise group.
[Conclusion] We showed that the serum level of C9, an inflammatory-related protein,
decreased after treadmill exercise. Therefore, treadmill exercise with an appropriate
intensity might be recommended for OA patients.Key words: Treadmill, Serum protein, Proteomics 相似文献

[Purpose] To examine the effects of intervention combining individualized and group
rhythm (To-balance) exercises on the mental and physical functions of the elderly
requiring low level care. [Subjects] A total of 29 elderly persons requiring level 2
assistance to level 2 who were and using outpatient care services participated in this
study. [Methods] The participants were randomly allocated to 2 groups: To-balance, and
Sitting. The former group performed individualized and To-balance group exercises, while
the latter group performed individualized exercise, as well as group exercise while
sitting on a chair. The effects were evaluated through somatometric, physical fitness, and
mental function measurements before and 3, 6, and 9 months after the initiation of the
intervention. [Results] The lower-limb muscle strength and mental function significantly
improved in both groups. Particularly, in the To-balance group, early improvement in
balance and gait ability were observed. [Conclusion] The To-balance exercise may be useful
for quickly improving the elderly’s static balance ability.Key words: Elderly persons, Rhythm exercises, Balance ability 相似文献

[Purpose] The aim of the present study was to investigate the expression of
neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) after applying spontaneous wheel running exercises (SWR) after
experimental traumatic brain injury (TBI). [Subjects and Methods] Thirty male
Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 3 groups; 20 rats were subjected to controlled
cortical impact for TBI, and then, animals were randomly collected from the SWR group and
subjected to wheel running exercise for 3 weeks. Ten rats were not subjected to any injury
or running exercise to compare with the effect of TBI and SWR. Immunohistochemistry,
Western blotting, skilled ladder rung walking test, and 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium
chloride staining analysis for the evaluation of NT-3 expression were used to assess brain
damage and recovery. [Results] The TBI-induced decrease in NT-3 expression was recovered
by wheel running exercise. Moreover, decreased ischemic volume and progressive
neurobehavioral outcome were observed in the SWR group. [Conclusion] Spontaneous running
exercise promotes brain recovery and motor function through an increase in expression of
NT-3.Key words: Neurotrophin-3, Traumatic brain injury, Wheel running exercise 相似文献

[Purpose] The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a 6-week aerobic
exercise program on pain, physical function, and psychological status, and to evaluate the
personality characteristics of fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) patients. [Subjects and
Methods] Fourteen women with FMS were enrolled. They were trained for a 6-week home-based
aerobic exercise program. The Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire, the Beck Depression
Inventory, the visual analog scale of pain and sleep quality were measured at baseline and
at the end of week 6. The personality profiles were evaluated using the Minnesota
Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI). [Results] After the exercise program,
significant improvements were determined in pain, sleep quality, physical function,
depression and FMS symptoms compared to baseline. In addition, the hysteria item
(71.21±8.84) of the MMPI was significantly higher in FMS. [Conclusion] Our findings
indicate that home-based aerobic exercise may be a useful treatment in the management of
FMS. Personality characteristics should be considered during the planning process of the
treatment of FMS. Personality is a filter between life events and psychological responses.
It is defined to be the integration of effective and behavioral patterns. Long-term
studies involving larger clinical samples are needed to define the role of personality
characteristics in FMS.Key words: Fibromyalgia syndrome, Aerobic exercise, Personality characteristics 相似文献

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of 12 weeks regular
aerobic exercise on brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and inflammatory factors in
juvenile obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Obesity and T2DM, typically common
among adults, have recently become more prevalent in the Korean juvenile population,
affecting not only their lipid profiles and oxidant stress levels, but also their BDNF and
inflammatory factor levels. [Subjects] This study enrolled 26 juveniles (boys = 15, girls
= 9) who were assigned to a control group (CG, n = 11), obesity group (OG, n = 8), or T2DM
group (TG, n = 7). [Methods] The outcome of a 40–60-minute aerobic exercise session that
took place three times per week for 12 weeks at a maximum oxygen intake
(VO2max) of 50~60% was investigated. [Results] The exercise resulted in a
significant reduction in the resting serum BDNF and TrkB levels (baseline) among juveniles
in the OG and TG as compared to those in the CG. Additionally, the 12 weeks of regular
aerobic exercise led to significant reductions in body weight, body fat percentage, and
body mass index in the OG and a significant increase of VO2max in the OG and
TG. However, no significant differences in serum NGF or inflammatory factors were found
among the three groups. There was a significant increase in resting serum BDNF levels
following the 12 weeks regular exercise only in the OG. [Conclusion] While 12 weeks of
regular aerobic exercise had a positive effect on body composition, and increased BDNF
levels of juveniles in the OG, it did not affect the inflammatory factor levels and had no
effect on the TG.Key words: Obesity, T2DM, BDNF 相似文献

[Purpose] The aim of this study was to develop and assess the applicability of an
experimental ankle-foot orthosis during gait in patients with hemiparesis. [Subjects and
Methods] This was a noncontrolled cross-sectional study. Ten adult patients with
hemiparesis but who were capable of independent gait were included in the study. Gait
assessment was performed using two platforms (EMG System do Brasil), an electromyograph
(EMG System do Brasil), and a video camera. The experimental orthosis consisted of a
single piece that fit over the foot and 1/3 of the distal tibia and had a steel spring.
[Results] There was greater activation of the rectus femoris and vastus lateralis muscles
in the stance and mid-stance phases with the use of the experimental ankle-foot orthosis
in comparison with the use of a polypropylene ankle-foot orthosis and no orthosis.
Regarding spatial and temporal gait parameters, the individuals achieved an increase in
stride length with the use of the experimental ankle-foot orthosis in comparison with the
use of a polypropylene ankle-foot orthosis. [Conclusion] The results of the present study
demonstrate that individuals with hemiparesis achieved an improvement in the stance and
mid-stance phases of gait with the use of the experimental ankle-foot orthosis.Key words: Orthosis, Hemiparesis, Gait 相似文献
