Fitness is one of the best predictors for heart and brain disease. To increase ones fitness, the American Heart Association (AHA) says to exercise at least 150 minutes per week or 75 minutes per week if really hard. These exercise guides are pretty effective, however not everyone will get the same results. What individuals do outside of the exercise bout can influence the effectiveness of exercise. One of these factors is our time sitting, which has caused the phrase "sitting is the new smoking". Other studies have said that the metabolic benefits of exercise are decreased when you exercise after a few days of low activity (less than 5,000 steps per day). This is important in that exercise may not be able to fully offset these times of inactivity. However, these studies were only looking at different fats in the blood. As exercise increases fat burn up to 10 times in the muscle, more research is needed to understand how inactivity affects the muscle during exercise and after exercise. This study will help answer two questions: 1) How does a day of sitting a lot affect the muscle's ability to respond to exercise? and 2) How does a day of sitting a lot affect carbohydrate and fat burn during and after a bout of exercise? The investigators will answer these questions by having people complete one day of inactivity (less than 5,000 steps) or normal activity (more than 8,500 steps). Subjects will then come in the next day to bike somewhat hard for 1 hour. The investigators will take blood samples before, during, and after exercise to measure energy sources. The investigators will also collect pieces of skeletal muscle before and after exercise to see how the muscle responded to exercise. This study is significant for the publication of exercise guidelines to minimize risk of heart and metabolic diseases.

Most studies have reported that physical activity positively affects memory, observation, problem-solving, decision-making, and specific skills (e.g., reading and mathematics). From an acute perspective, a single exercise session performed before, during, and after a learning task has been shown to improve various memory and executive functions (e.g., decision-making, goal planning, task switching). A meta-analysis indicated that exercise performed close to learning tasks enhances short-term memory (e.g., information that disappears within a few seconds) and long-term memory (e.g., information recalled after long time delays). Practical training is necessary in physiotherapy education programs. Practical training includes laboratory work at school, profession-related projects, and clinical internships. Practical work learning prepares students for their profession, job roles, and professional identity. Furthermore, increasing practical applications, such as assessment and practice on models, will also enhance problem-based learning. Therefore, new approaches that enhance learning in practical training in the field of physiotherapy and rehabilitation may contribute to the development of knowledgeable and qualified physiotherapists. In this context, this study was designed to evaluate the effect of a single session of aerobic exercise before a lecture on pelvic floor rehabilitation, which includes practical methods, on the learning outcomes of the course.

This study explores how exercise affects blood platelets and their role in clotting. Regular exercise can influence how efficiently clots form in the body. Intense exercise tends to increase platelet activity and the expression of certain molecules on their surface, while moderate exercise can decrease this activity. Since platelets are responsible for blood clotting, understanding how they function can be crucial. Understanding Platelets: Platelets are blood cells that help in clotting. The mitochondria within platelets help regulate their function. If these mitochondria don't work properly, it can lead to issues with clotting. By examining how exercise changes platelet mitochondria, the investigators can potentially identify important markers for health and disease progression. Study Design: This study compares two types of exercise routines: circuit training and stationary bicycle training. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups: Circuit Training Group: This involves moving through different exercise stations within a set time, targeting various body parts. It's tailored for those who might find regular exercise challenging, helping to reduce fatigue in any single area and improve overall fitness. Bicycle Training Group: This involves exercising on a stationary bike. Both exercise groups will engage in high-intensity interval training for about 40 minutes, five times a week, over six weeks. Assessment: Participants will undergo tests to measure endurance and physical function. Blood Sampling: Blood will be drawn before and after the exercise tests, with 20 milliliters taken from the arm vein. Blood samples will also be collected at the start and end of a 6-week intervention, totaling 80 milliliters throughout the study. This helps the investigators analyze how platelets are affected by exercise. This study is designed to help the investigators better understand how different types of exercise can benefit platelet function and overall health. Participanting in this research could contribute to the knowledge about how could exercise influence blood clotting and related health conditions. Participants' involvement will include exercise routines or maintaining your current lifestyle, along with simple blood tests. Participation is highly valuable and can help pave the way for new health insights and treatments.

NCT04758754
Maintaining an adequate state of vascular function is an important element for the maintenance of cardiovascular well-being. Several training plans involving both active and passive engagement by the muscles have been proposed with the aim of improving vascular function. At local level, i.e., at the level of the arteries that supply the muscles directly involved in training, significant improvements in vascular function have been found. These improvements are more noticeable after active training than with a passive training regimen, such as passive static stretching. On the contrary, at the systemic level the effects of active or passive training are less clear and, above all, it is not evident whether there is a difference in the effects induced at the level of vascular function in arteries supplying muscles not directly involved in training. The aim of the study is to clarify the local and systemic effect of an active training protocol (single leg knee extension, SLKE) and of a passive training protocol (passive static stretching training, PST) applied to the lower limbs lasting 8 weeks on the local (femoral artery) and systemic (brachial artery) vascular function.

NCT04856280
Dysmenorrhea is defined as the pain and discomfort of women during the menstrual period. Kinesiological taping (KT) and aerobic exercise (AE) are effective methods for dysmenorrhea. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of KT and AE on pain, attitude, depression, and quality of life in women with dysmenorrhoea. Forty-five women with dysmenorrhea wıll randomly be divided into three groups as KT group (n=15), AE group (n=15) and control group (n=15). In KT Group, 6 sessions of KT will be applied, starting on the 14th day of the menstrual cycle and 2 times per week for 3 weeks until the end of the cycle. In the AE group, walking and climbing stairs will be given during the menstrual cycle, 3 days a week, 45 minutes. No application will be applied to the control group. All groups will be evaluated with Beck Depression Scale (BDS), Mcgill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ), Menstrual Attitude Scale (MAS), and Short Form- 36 (SF-36) before and after the intervention.

A growing body of evidence suggests that exercise is an important contributor to maternal health and is beneficial to infants. A single-blinded randomised experimental study was used to evaluate the effect of aerobic exercise on sleep quality and maternal-fetal attachment in pregnancy women. 140 eligible pregnant women were systematically assigned, with a random start to experimental group (n = 70) received a 20 minutes aerobic exercise video and was instructed to exercise at least three times a week for 3 months at home, while the control group (n = 70) received the usual care only. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Modified Maternal-Fetal Attachment Scale were used to assess outcomes measured before the intervention and at 4 and 12 weeks postintervention. Paired sample t-tests were conducted before and after aerobic exercise to measure whether there were any statistically significant changes in outcome variables.

Although the vast majority of individuals sustaining a sport-related concussion (SRC) will receive medical clearance to return to sport within 7-10 days, approximately 30% of children and adolescents reporting to the emergency department will experience symptoms that last longer than a month. Research has demonstrated that exercise below the threshold that results in increases in symptoms, beyond those experienced at rest, (sub-symptom threshold aerobic exercise) may be beneficial in recovery. However, the optimal amount and intensity of aerobic exercise for an individual to experience the most beneficial outcomes is currently unknown. Unfortunately there are limited Randomized Controlled Trials (RCT's) evaluating the benefits of aerobic exercise in a youth population. The current evidence includes studies with relatively small sample sizes, unreliable measurements of physical activity (self-report), and inherent biases through inadequate blinding. There is a need to develop and validate evidence-informed interventions as a means of treatment for limiting time loss from sport, and school in adolescents who experience persistent symptoms of sports related concussion beyond 10 days.
