5. The impact of adding cinnamon in combination with physical exercise on anthropometric indicators and reproductive hormones in overweight and obese women.
About the study.
The study aims to evaluate the effect of combining training and cinnamon supplementation on chest and waist circumference, as well as sex hormones in overweight and obese women.
Results.
Significant reductions in chest and waist circumference were observed in both groups. Estradiol, progesterone, and FSH concentrations increased, while LH concentration significantly decreased. However, a significant difference between groups was observed only for chest circumference.
4. The effect of the 'ReacStep' training program on balance recovery and fall risk factors in older adults: a blinded randomized controlled trial.
About the study.
The study aims to evaluate the effect of the ReacStep training program on balance recovery and fall risk factors in older adults. The study involved 88 older adults divided into an intervention group and a control group.
Results.
There were no significant differences in laboratory-assessed falls during reactive balance and falls in daily life over the year (P = .19) in both groups. However, the intervention group showed significant improvements in maximum step length and reaction time in step choice compared to the control.
3. Characteristics of responders and non-responders after aerobic or isometric physical activity in physically inactive adults of African and South Asian descent with high normal blood pressure or stage I hypertension.
About the study.
The study aims to investigate individual variability in post-exercise hypotension (PEH) and characteristics of cardiovascular and autonomic differences between responders and non-responders after aerobic and isometric exercises in physically inactive adults of African and South Asian descent with elevated blood pressure.
Results.
After aerobic training, 46% of participants were classified as responders for systolic pressure, while this figure was 28% after isometric training. Aerobic responders demonstrated a more significant reduction in aortic augmentation index (-19.4% vs. -10.9%), greater increases in stroke volume (+8.1 vs. -5.3 ml), and cardiac output (+1.54 ± 1.89 vs. +0.58 ± 1.
2. The effect of carbohydrate mouth rinsing on psychophysiological responses, kinematic variables, and technical actions in small-sided football games.
About the study.
The study aims to evaluate the effect of carbohydrate mouth rinsing on psychophysiological and kinematic indicators, as well as technical actions during small-sided football games.
