        The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of polymetric, Strength and combined training on some performance indicators of elite wrestlers.The present study was a quasi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test design. The subjects of the present study were 32 elite wrestlers from Golestan province with a history of at least 3 years of regular training. Subjects were randomly divided into 4 control groups (n=8), polymetric (n=8), strength (n=8) and combined exercises training(8 subjects). Subjects performed the above exercises for 8 weeks (three sessions per week). Anaerobic power, maximum power, speed and agility were evaluated before and after 8 weeksThe results showed that anaerobic capacity in the combined exercise group increased significantly compared to the control group. Maximum strength was significantly increased in the combined exercise group compared to the control group and the plyometric training group. Maximum strength in the strength training group increased significantly compared to the control group. The speed in the combined training group increased significantly compared to the control group and the strength training group. Also, the speed in the plyometric training group increased significantly compared to the control group and the strength training group. There was no significant difference in agility after eight weeks between groups.The results of the present study showed that the combination of plyometric and strength training compared to strength and plyometric exercises only leads to further improvement of anaerobic capacity, maximum strength and speed in elite wrestlers, but has no effect on improving agility.

        The purpose of this study was to investigate the rate of obesity and overweight and its relationship with cardiorespiratory fitness in adolescent girls in Aliabad Katoul city. The research method of this research is descriptive and inferential which has been conducted in the field. The population of the study includes 1816 girl students aged 12 to 14 years which 316 students were selected as a sample based on Udinsky table. To estimate the maximum oxygen consumption, a 20-meter shuttle run test was used, Body Mass Index was used to calculate obesity and overweight and subcutaneous fat thickness was used to calculate body fat percentage. Subcutaneous fat thickness was measured at three points in the triceps, calf, and subscapular by a Harponden caliper. Pearson correlation method was used to investigate the relationship between obesity and overweight with cardiorespiratory fitness.Findings showed that the percentage of body fat in adolescent girls’ students increased with age. The findings also showed a decrease in cardiorespiratory fitness of girls’ students with age. According to the results of the study, it is suggested that families, physical education teachers and education officials in schools to include regular activities to improve the respiratory fitness and reduce fatness and overweight of students in their program. In addition, programs increase parents 'awareness about their children's physical condition, solve the problems of overweight and obesity, and improve students' cardiorespiratory fitness.

        The purpose of this study was to the Effect of eight weeks Aerobic Training with Low or High Intensity on Cardiovascular System, Aerobic and Anaerobic Power in Overweight Men. 24 overweight men (weight, 86.3±13.5 kg; age, 24.6±0.3 yrs; VO2max, 29.3±10.3 ml/kg/min) participated in an eight week intervention. The subjects were randomly assigned to each of High Intensity Training [70-80% VO2max] (HI), Low Intensity Training [40-50% VO2max] (LI) and/or Control (C) groups. Exercise training was including running a same distance for both trial groups (isovolumic) with different intensities in each session and three sessions/week. Resting blood pressure and heart rate were measured before and after the intervention. VO2max and anaerobic power were estimated using Cooper and RAST tests, respectively. A significant difference was found between two experimental groups in min power and mean power, but not in max power and fatigue index. Significant changes shown in heart rate from pre to post measurements in both experimental groups which it was grater in HI compare to LI group. VO2max significantly increased in experimental groups but has no significant difference between them. Systolic blood pressure, also, significantly altered in both experimental groups which it was slightly, but not significantly, higher in HI in compare to LI group. However, diastolic blood pressure was unchanged. So, exercise training with high intensity may have more effects on some cardiovascular and anaerobic power parameters in overweight peoples. It seems that aerobic training advantage in relation to aerobic power may not be dependent on its intensity. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of study was to determine the effect of intensive periodic interval on cardiovascular risk factors in obese men. This study was a Quasi-experimental design by using pre-test and post-test. 91 participants randomly allocated into two groups and samples were students of Islamic Azad University of Gorgan branch with body mass index classes above 30 kg/m2. Instruments of study included blood collection devices (cotton, alcohol, syringe, test tube) and digital scales and laboratory biochemistry equipment to examine blood. Independent t-test was used to analyze the data. Findings of the study have shown that 6 weeks of intensive periodic interval exercise had no effect on triglyceride levels, total cholesterol and systolic and diastolic blood pressure in obese men. Also, 6 weeks of intensive periodic interval exercise had no effect on high-density lipoprotein in obese men, but in low-density lipoprotein had observed a significant difference. Low-intensity aerobic exercise such as walking has an important role in controlling systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Regular physical activity has effect in increment high-density lipoprotein and also had a protective role in the heart. Also, population with low-density lipoprotein can use intensive exercise with 55% maximum heart rate for 30 minutes in day and 5 days per week to maintain health. Manuscript profile

        Abstract The purpose of this study was investigating the effect of general fatigue and local fatigue on the simple hammering serve of disabled male volleyball players in Alborz province. Thus, 12 disabled male players were used in volleyball field. The subjects participated in this study with their own satisfaction, while enjoying the best simple hammering serve stroke techniques. At first, each subject made 5 simple hammering serves in the pre-test stage and performed 5 simple hammering serves after the implementation of general and local fatigue protocols. The general fatigue protocol included a simulated station that the person performed without resting until getting tired, and in the local fatigue protocol, only the elbow opening muscles group were practiced.in each protocol, a Borg effort test (10 points) was used to measure fatigue. For statistical analysis, analysis of variance measurement was used. The result showed that local fatigue on simple hammered serves disabled player had a significant effect on alpha level 0.05 and general fatigue had no effect on the simple hammering of the disable volleyball player and there was no relation between the two general and local fatigue.

        AbstractThe aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the level of physical activity and some psychological factors on lipid peroxidation and antioxidant index in middle-aged women. The research method of the present study is correlational. The statistical sample of this study included 30 middle-aged female employees of Gorgan Islamic Azad University who were systematically selected randomly. A researcher-made questionnaire to determine the level of physical activity and the standard Lavibund (1995) stress, anxiety and depression questionnaire were used to collect research data. Pearson correlation test was used to analyze the data. The findings of the present study indicated that there is a significant relationship between the level of physical activity with lipid peroxidation and the total antioxidant index of middle-aged women. There is also a significant relationship between some psychological factors (stress, anxiety and depression) with lipid peroxidation in middle-aged women. While it was observed that there is no significant relationship with the total antioxidant index of middle-aged women. Findings indicate that the level of oxidative enzymes has a significant relationship with physical activity and psychological factors (stress, anxiety and depression), so it is important to pay attention to physical activity and modulate the level of psychological factors for health.
