The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of dried barberry root supplementation on muscle pain and serum superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) following a session of eccentric exhausting activity in non-athlete women. Materials and methods: In this quasi-experimental study, thirty non-athlete women aged 20 to 30 years were randomly divided into three groups of 10, including 1- eccentric exhaustion activity (control group), 2- eccentric exhaustion activity + placebo (placebo group) and 3- eccentric exhaustion activity + barberry supplement (Barberry group). On the pretest day, all three groups participated in an exhaustive eccentric activity. Blood samples were taken from the subjects before and after the activity. Then, the subjects participated in a group-specific supplementation program for 2 weeks. Groups 2 and 3 received dried barberry root and flour powder with a daily dose of 3 capsules of 250 mg respectively. After two weeks of receiving the interventions, all three groups again participated in the post-test similar to the pre-test in the eccentric exhausting physical activity with the same intensity and duration .Blood samples were taken again from the subjects before and after this activity To analyze the data, 2× 4 factor analysis of variance (2 groups and 4 times of measurement) including Bonferroni post- hoc test was used(P≥0.05). Findings: Eccentric exhausting activity and eccentric exhausting activity+barberry supplement had no significant effect on changes in serum levels of SOD and CAT (P≤0.05). Althougheccentric exhausting activity significantly increased serum GPX levels and muscle pain (P≤0.05); this increase was less in the barberry supplement group (P≥0.05). Conclusion: It seems that one session of eccentric exhausting activity can increase muscle soreness and serum GPX levels in non-athlete women. However, 14 days of barberry supplementation can reduce its levels. Manuscript profile -

This study investigates the effect of endurance training and Pistacia Atlantica extract (Baneh) (as a plant rich in fatty acids) on ghrelin gene expression in the intestinal tissue of female rats. Materials and methods: In this experimental study, 20 adult female Wistar rats were selected and randomly divided into four groups: 1) saline control, 2) saline training, 3) Baneh control, and 4) Baneh + training. Groups 2 and 4 trained on a rodent treadmill for eight weeks (five days a week, each session for 60 minutes at a speed of 25 m / min with a zero slope) while groups 1 and 3 did not. Groups 3 and 4 received Pistacia Atlantica extract and groups 1 and 3 received saline solution before exercise as a gavage (1 mg per gram of body weight). Rats were anesthetized and biopsied 72 hours after the last training session in the fasting state. Data were analyzed using a two-way analysis of variance and p < 0.05 was considered significant. Findings: Eight weeks of aerobic training decreased ghrelin gene expression in rats intestinal tissue (p < 0.001) but its expression increased in response to Pistacia Atlantica use (p < 0.001). Conclusion: The use of a high-fat diet (Baneh extract) increased the expression of the ghrelin gene in intestinal tissue. Eight weeks of aerobic training moderated this increase. Manuscript profile -

Due to the positive effects of sports activities and herbs on sex hormones, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of eight weeks of swimming training and chamomile extract consumption on serum levels of Luteinizing, Testosterone, and Follicle-Stimulating Hormones in male rats. Materials and methods: In this experimental study, 40 male Sprague-dawley rats were selected and randomly divided into five groups consisting of eight rats. The groups include: (1) swimming training, (2) chamomile extract administration, (3) swimming training, and chamomile extract administration; (4) placebo; and (5) control. The swimming and the swimming plus chamomile extract administration groups had three session swimming trainings per week, each session lasted 60 seconds. Also, the swimming plus chamomile extract administration and the chamomile extract administration groups received (200 mg/kg body weight/day) chamomile extract peritoneally. Kolmogorov–Smirnov and one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s Post-hoc tests were used to analyze the results (P≤0.05). Findings: Chamomile extract administration had significant effects on increasing testosterone levels (P=0.04). However, the effects of swimming training (P=0.79) and swimming plus chamomile extract administration (P=0.09) on testosterone levels were non-significant. Swimming training plus chamomile extract administration had significant effects on increasing serum levels of FSH (P=0.001), but only swimming training (P=0.89) and only chamomile extract administration (P=0.46) had no significant effects on serum levels of FSH. Also, none of the swimming training, chamomile extract administration, and swimming training plus chamomile extract administration had significant effects on LH serum levels. Conclusion: Although chamomile extract administration alone can increase testosterone serum levels, and simultaneously can improve FSH serum levels when used with swimming training, it seems that further study is required to confirm the interactive effects of chamomile consumption and swimming training.

Materials and methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 80 women with an age range of 25 to 45 years and a body mass index above 25 were purposefully selected and then randomly divided into two groups of control and exercise. Interventions were performed for 12 weeks (three sessions per week, each session for one hour (with an intensity of 80% of the maximum heart rate. Before the start of the study and at the end of the study period, study variables were measured. Independent and dependent t-test were used to analyze the results (P≤0.05). Findings: A period of rhythmic aerobic training with core stability training had a significant effect on reducing the waist circumference, and body fat percentage and insulin resistance of overweight women (p < 0.05). However, it had no significant effect on serum glucose and insulin levels in women. Conclusion: It seems that core stability training can improve the anthropometric indices of overweight women. However, in relation to its effects on glycemic indices, more studies are needed. Manuscript profile -

The current study was to examine the effect of eight weeks resistance training with vitamin D consumption on Interleukin 10 & 15 in overweight women. Materials and methods: In semi an experimental study carried out by pre-test and post-test, 60 overweight women aging between 20 to 35 were selected in 4 groups: resistance training, vitamin D consumption, resistance training with vitamin D consumption and placebo. Subject Blood sampling was collected in pre- test and post- test phases after 8 weeks of training. The training protocol consisted of 8 weeks of resistance training, which was held three sessions per week. Participants in two groups of daily vitamin intake consumed 1 unit of vitamin D in capsules (at night and before going to bed). Participants in the placebo group also received a placebo from lactose. Data were analyzed by the analysis of variance with repeated measures (p < 0.05). Findings: Resistance training and resistance training along with vitamin D significantly reduced interleukin-6 and increased interleukin-15 in overweight women. Other results showed a greater effect of resistance training with vitamin D compared to the resistance training alone in reducing interleukin-6 and increasing interleukin-15 (p < 0.05). Conclusion: It seems that overweight and obese women using vitamin D combined with resistance training may be able to prevent the inflammatory stress caused by moderate exercise and its aftermath.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of 8 weeks of resistance training with elastic bands on premenstrual syndrome in inactive adolescent girls.Materials and methods: In this semi experimental study, 40 inactive adolescent girls with premenstrual syndrome were selected and randomly divided into two groups of resistance training with elastic band and control. Resistance training with elastic band was performed in 3 sessions of 45 minutes per week for eight weeks. Subjects were assessed using the Premenstrual Symptoms Screening Questionnaire (PSST) in the pre- and post-test stages. To analyze the findings, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), paired t-test and Tukey's post hoc test were used(P≤ 0.05).Findings: The results showed that before the intervention there was no significant difference between the two experimental groups in terms of demographic characteristics and PMS symptoms (P≤ 0.05), but after the intervention, PMS symptoms in the resistance training group with elastic bands compared to the control group in terms of mood-behavior (7.61 ± 2.31 vs. 15.84 ± 3.65) and physical (6.35 ± 1.09 vs. 14.72 ± 1.38) decreased significantly (P <0.05).Conclusion: Eight weeks of elastic band resistance training appears to reduce the severity of PMS symptoms in adolescent girls. Therefore, it seems that elastic training can be used as a favorable treatment approach for non-athlete adolescent girls with PMS. Manuscript profile
