        AbstractBackground and Purpose: This experimental study aimed to determine the effect of 8 weeks resistance training on PTP1B expression in gastrocnemius muscle, glucose and insulin resistance in Wistar male's rats with type 2 diabetes. Material and Methods: The population consisted of all rats, among which 14 were purchased 10-weeks old rats with a 220 ± 20 g weighing. Then, type 2 diabetes induced by 8 weeks high-fat diet + STZ and divided randomly into resistance training and control groups. Then, the resistance rats participated in 8 weeks resistance training for 5 sessions per week. Fasting glucose, serum insulin and PTP1B expression in gastrocnemius muscle of both groups were measured at 48 hours after last exercise and compared between 2 groups by independent T test. Results: The resistance training improved fasting glucose compared with control subjects. Insulin resistance was significantly increased and PTP1B expression in gastrocnemius muscle significantly decreased in resistance group when compared with control subjects. Conclusion: Based on these data, decreased glucose concentration in exercise group can be attributed to decrease PTP1B expression in gastrocnemius muscle in response to resistance training.Keywords: Resistance training, Gastrocnemius muscle, Type 2 diabetes, PTP1B expression.

        Introduction and purpose: The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of eight weeks of resistance training with a double and flat pyramid pattern on the speed, endurance, agility and explosive power of non-training handball players in the Covid-19. Materials and methods: This research was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design. The statistical population of the present study includes the handball players of Zanjan province who did not exercise for at least 6 months during the Corona era. The statistical sample of this study was randomly selected from among 36 athletes and they were divided into three groups of 12 people (double pyramid group, flat pyramid group and control group). The exercise program of the flat and double pyramid groups was carried out for eight weeks (three sessions per week), respectively, with a training intensity of 60% and 80% of one maximum repetition. Shapiro-Wilk statistical test was used for the normality of data distribution. Correlated t-test and ANOVA were used to compare intra-group and inter-group averages. Results: The results showed that the endurance records of 5000 meters and 4 x 9 meters of untrained handball players decreased by 13.21% and 16.48%, respectively (P/>05). In addition, the explosive power of the subjects during the Sargent jump (in cm) from the pre-test to the post-test stage increased by 15.34% (P=0.021).Discussion and Conclusion: It seems that strength training with a double pyramid pattern has been effective in improving the agility, explosive power of lower limbs and endurance of untrained athletes.

        Obesity is a major global health problem determined by genetic and environmental factors, and its incidence is increasing yearly. In recent years, dysbiosis of the gut microbiota has been shown to be closely linked to obesity. The purpose of this review was to investigate the characteristics of gut microbiota in obesity, the mechanism of obesity caused by gut microbiota, and the effect of exercise and diet. For this purpose, Sid.ir and Magiran.Com databases as well as the system of scientific and research publications approved by the Ministry of Science in the field of sport sciences were searched for domestic articles from 1380 to 1401. The keywords used for searching were "obesity" or "diet" or "overweight" or "weight loss" and or "exercise training" combined with "gut microbiota". For foreign articles between 2000 and 20223, PubMed, Megapaper, and Google Scholar databases were used. The searched keywords were "obesity" or "diet" or "overweight" or "weight loss" and or "exercise training" combined with "gut microbiota". The results indicate that gut microbiota induce the occurrence and development of obesity by increasing host energy absorption, increasing central appetite, enhancing fat storage, contributing to chronic inflammation, and regulating circadian rhythms. Akkermansia muciniphylla abundance has also been shown to inversely correlate with obesity and related metabolic disorders. Our findings indicate that exercise training is another important factor in the relationship between the microbiota, host immunity and host metabolism, with diet playing an important role., Manuscript profile

        Introduction and purpose: The purpose of this study was the effect of a period of HIIT resistance training on insulin resistance in obese diabetic Wistar rats. Materials and methods: In this experimental study, 50 diabetic and healthy obese rats (230±16 grams) were randomly divided into 5 groups. 10 groups were divided into 1- control (no training) 2- intense HIIT interval training 3- aerobic training (traditional resistance) with moderate intensity 4- moderate resistance training 5- intense resistance training. The training groups participated in a 12-week resistance and aerobic training program with 5 sessions per week, and the control group did not participate in any training program. Serum insulin was measured by the ELISA method and according to the standards of the commercial kit (Demeditec Diagnostic insulin) ELIZA made in Germany. The data were analyzed using the statistical method of one-way analysis of variance at a significance level of 0.05. Results: The results showed that after 12 weeks of training, the serum insulin of subjects in different training groups (endurance, resistance with medium and high intensity, intense interval) was significantly lower than the healthy group (P=0.001) and higher than the diabetic group. (P=0.001) was. Conclusion: Exercise training (endurance resistance and intense interval) increases serum insulin levels in type 2 diabetic obese male rats. Manuscript profile

        Nowadays, obesity is one of the biggest challenges and struggles that the public health faces, which is one of the key reasons for the occurrence of many diseases such as type 2 diabetes. Hence, the purpose of this review study is to investigate the effect of various exercise trainings along with spirulina supplementation on weight loss in type 2 diabetes. For this purpose, the keywords "Spirulina" in combination with "Aerobic exercise", "Resistance exercise", "Intense intermittent training" and "Type 2 diabetes" were searched for persian articles. The keywords used to search for foreign articles were "Spirulina" and "Type 2 diabetes" in combination with "High-intensity interval training", "Aerobic training" and "Resistance training". Which were searched in reliable databases such as Sid.ir, Magiran.com, Google scholar and Mega paper from 2001 to 2023. The results indicate that aerobic exercises with spirulina supplementation have led to a decrease in resistin levels, improvement in lipid profile and metabolic status. Also, resistance training along with spirulina supplement leads to increase in irisin levels, decrease in lipocalin-2, decrease in low-density lipoproteins, weight loss, and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) along with this supplement reduces muscle atrophy and lost weight. Therefore, to control or prevent type 2 diabetes, spirulina supplement can be used along with exercise trainings. Manuscript profile

        Background : The physical growth pattern is driven by the genetic, but under the influence of environmental factors such as exercise, there may be changes in growth patterns and chronological and biological age may not match. The aim of the present study was to determine the relationship between calendar age and biological age with strength, speed, agility and balance of Kyokushin karate boys in Rasht. Method: The present study was a correlational descriptive study. The population of this research was Kyokushin Karate boys aged 12-30 of from Rasht city, 55 of them were selected non – randomly and available as a sample. In order to measure the research variables, physical fitness tests (strength, speed, agility, power and balance) and body composition (BMI and body fat percentage) were used. Data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient and t-statistics to compare two correlation coefficients.Results: The results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between chronological age and anaerobic power, hand strength, agility and static and dynamic balance(p< 0.05). Also, there is a positive and significant relationship between biological age and anaerobic power, hand strength, agility and dynamic balance(p< 0.05). Conclusion: With the increase in the chronological and biological age of karate practitioners, we saw an increase in power and strength; however, speed decreased, which was not far off as body size increased. Also, static balance was only associated with increasing chronological age, which probably indicates that the growth of the skeletal-muscular system during puberty exceeds motor and balance growth.

        PURPOSE :The aim of this study was to describe the plasma volume and albumin(Al) after intensive resistance exercise in active girls. METHODS : 16 healthy girls subjects volunteered to participate in this study. They divided in 2 groups experimental and control. The experimental group drank 15 ml/ kg body wt at before night and at the morning of the experimental days, but the control group did not drank water. They completed three sets of 5 - 7 repetitions of six exercises at an intensity corresponding to 70-80% one repetition maximum (1RM ). Venous blood samples were obtained before exercise , immediately after exercise and 24h of recovery. RESULTS : Al increase significantly following resistance exercise in control group (p ≤ 0/05).Plasma volume decreased in both groups , but in control group was significant(p ≤ 0/05) after 24h of recovery, plasma volume did not show significant changes (p ≤ 0/05) but Al increase significantly in experimental group (p ≤ 0/05).CONCLUSIONS : It seems that the reduction of plasma volume after intense resistance training will not occur if the athletes receive enough water. Also, 24 hours is considered a suitable time for recovery and compensation of plasma volume. In addition, the increase in plasma albumin during the recovery period is not necessarily associated with an increase in plasma volumeKey word : intensive resistance exercise , Albumin , plasma volume.

        The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of swimming exercise and vitamin D consumption on β-catenin /TCF signaling pathway in endometriosis model rats. In this way, the number of 30 8-week-old male Wistar rats with an average weight of 202.85±15.62 grams after induction of the model by transplanting the tissue around the endometrial region randomly into 6 groups; healthy control(n=5), Sham (normal saline solution to control the effect of eating the gavage)(n=5), endometriosis(n=5), endometriosis+vitamin D(n=5), endometriosis+swimming(n=5), endometriosis+swimming+ vitamin D(n=5). The amount of vitamin D consumption was 200 mg/kg per body weight of each rat, and the swimming training program was for 8 weeks, five days a week, and every day for 30 minutes. One-way analysis of variance was used to analyze the data. The findings showed that the expression level of β-catenin and TCF genes was significantly higher in the endometriosis group than in the healthy control group (p=0/007, 0/035).Swimming, vitamin D and a combination of swimming+D were associated with a decrease in β-catenin and TCF gene expression.In general, the results of this research indicate that the regulation of β-catenin and TCF gene expression in a normal state in the process of endometriosis can improve the level of this disease, and possibly swimming exercises and taking at the same timevitamin D will be effective in the normal state of the β-catenin/TCF pathway.
