Hi,

Does anybody know of a self-report measure indexing the "runner's high" phenomenon (outside of flow scales)?

The term “runner’s high” (RH) is commonly used to describe the feeling of euphoria experienced by athletes engaged in endurance running. This state is usually characterized by (decreased) anxiety, relaxation, analgesia, euphoria, effortless running experience, and a “lost sense of time”.

Thanks!

Damien

I need to generate sweat from a certain area of skin, suppose from hand skin. What are the possible ways to generate sweat non-invasively and without any physical exercise?

we all have our own thought and experience regarding yoga and meditation, we all know it's a miracle unexplainable to those who do he/she feel it.What's your view regarding it.

Hello,

my name is Antonio and I'm a graduate in health and physical activity (University of Rome Foro Italico).

I and my group are looking for:

... of a project called Ne.Mo. which consists in a mobile app (with an integrated AI system) aimed to improve cognitive functioning of breast cancer patients, and contrast the cancer-related cognitive impairment (also known as chemobrain), by using personalized physical exercise program.

Currently, all the main world organizations related to cancer reccomand physical exercise as part of the oncologic therapy. However, in several Countries, like Italy, exists a gap between science and practice. Indeed, at least in Italy, medical doctors know that exercise is a powerful tool to improve the therapeutic effects and the general condition of a cancer patient. But, on one hand, they don't have a exercise science background to prescribe it and, on the other hand, there are very few specialized center in which is possible to find some cancer exercise personal trainer expert.

Our team is composed by 13 master and PhD students in different fields, such as psychology, exercise science, computer engineer, law, economy, medicine, neuroscience, marketing, data analysis, and so on.

We are part of a program called "Dock3 Training" (http://www.dock3.it/dock3training/) which is a business training course organized by the University of Roma Tre. In less than 2 months we have to present our idea to ask some funds to lunch our social startup. However, we want to go beyond this training course because we believe that this app could really help people with cancer and lead them to do physical exercise to improve their quality of life. So, we can create an Italian version of this app and other versions based on your country.

If you are interested in receive more details of our idea, please, contact me by answering to this post, contacting me on RG, or sending me an email (neuroscienzedelmovimento@gmail.com // antonio.defano.gf@gmail.com)

ps: if you want, you can also leave a comment to help us in developing this idea. We will really appreciate it!

Thank you so much for your attention.

Best Regards,

Antonio De Fano,

Dear all

One of our students is interested to do research on effect of physical exercise on nutritional status and academic performance of sport sciences students. His subjects are university students studying for BSc in Sports sciences. He wanted to follow the students for two semesters. The aim is to see if the dietary intake of the students is inline with their physical activities and academic results... He proposed longitudinal study design but not sure how to calculate sample size. Please advise. Sincerely

Dear all,

I will start a study about the effect of physical exercise (HIIT and strength training) on testosterone levels in a male young subject with a hypergonadotropic hypogonadism condition. Thus, I have two questions:

Hello,

Nowadays, it is not possible to directly examine the structural changes at the brain cell level (e.g., neurogenesis). Thus, it is still unclear the actual effects of physical exercise on brain derived neurotrophic factors release (BDNF). However, the scientific technological progress has allowed to indirectly study the brain structures and changes at a more macroscopic level.

I'm doing a study on the acute effect of 3 pilates based exercises on dynamic balance and motor performance of limbs in healthy young adults. The hypothesis is that working central stability will make possible an increase in the limits of stability and motor performance. For this population and exercise, which would be the best tests for motor performance/bahavior of the upper and lower limbs?

Good morning,

Do you know what are the main research about the Hypofrontality hypothesis related to the acute physical exercise? Could you indicate me the references?

Thank you in advance

I have read that regular physicial exercise with moderate intensity could increase the hippocampus GFAP level. But, in overtraining condition could increase the hippocampus GFAp level too. The increasing of GFAP level have two effect, benefit and deleterious effect. I want to know, the range of GFAP level in hippocampus both in benefit and deleterious effect. 

thank you for your answer.

Looking for an article or a study that focuses on, or includes the effects of eccentric resistance training on flexibility.

I wonder if there could be an association with partaking in regular HIIT and development of enduring fatigue in adults (especially those with a sedentary occupations in the absence of other health conditions)?   I would be interested to hear about:

- Research?

- Clinical Observations?

- Anecdotal Accounts? 

- Thoughts?

Many thanks,

Juliet :-)

I'm wondering if there are studies that compared the effects of additional regular restricted physical exercise + regular treatment with only regular treatment without exercise on patients with anorexia nervosa.

I'd appreciate any paper suggestions!

A 32 -year-old woman presented with atypical chest pain. Treadmill test showed as a positive with low risk. Echocardiography was normal. There was no history of trauma or excessive physical exercise.

He had no other complaints and used no medication. Our patient was a smoker, wiith no history of hypertension, pregnancy, diabetes mellitus or hypercholesterolaemia.

Coronary artery angiography revealed a left main spontaneous dissection involving left anterior descending and left circumflex artery(Figure 1-4). Her hemodynamic status was stabil and without angina and dyspnea after coronary angiography.

How should I treat a left main spontaneous dissection involving left anterior descending and left circumflex artery ?

a- Medically

b- LMCA stenting

c- CABG

I've been told by professional coaches that it is important to set an incline in order to mimic outside conditions, and that the distance would be inaccurate with a 0% incline.  I also saw articles that said that was a myth, and that the article used to encourage inclines only used 9 participants.  Edit: thanks to Pedro in the comments!  This question is in reference to Jones and Doust (1996).  How supported is this paper's conclusions by other empirical work?  What should I search to find more information?  I'm investigating the body of literature myself, but would love any shortcuts or tips.  Thank you!

The agreement between reaction-board measurements and kinematic estimation of adult male human whole body centre of mass location during running. There are different possibilities to obtain it, however, I would like to know what's the best method, or the method considered as "gold standard".

Thanks a lot.

Hello everyone,

I would like to discuss a little about proposed cut-points for physical activity in individuals with functional impairment (eg. Patients with peripheral arterial disease). Is there a more appropriate proposition?

A good part of the available studies is based on cut-points proposed by Freedson et al. 1998 (young adults) and Copeland et al. 2009 (elderly without functional changes). To what extent these propositions may be underestimating the physical activity intensity in elderly individuals with functional limitations?

Best, Bruno.

Am working on an app that helps users keep fit by looking at there physical challenges and body types to help them look the way they desire after they have filled some forms. what can i use to process this. will fuzzy logic work and which approach of recommender system should i take, or i shoul work on expert system. someone please help

There is evidence that stress is mediating the effect of diet on body weight (Peters, A et al). 

Is there  also evidence on whether (reduction of) stress may be involved in the beneficial health effects of leisure physical exercise?

does aerobic exercises positively affect/delay diabetes in pre diabetic?

i need information about fifa 11++ warm up program

Can TRX training with the elderly?How do I measure that resistance?

It will be performed on the lower limb and using eccentric exercise. We were wondering whether 50 max repetitions at 120 degrees per second would actually cause enough damage? 

Any clear outline to say a person 'non-professional/amateur athlete': on the basis of hours of physical activity in a week/month/year?

Please help me by providing source/link (published article/book chapter etc..), if any.

Predominantly I am interested to see differences in motor skills between students who walk/cycle to school and those who get there by bus/car/train.

I ask because most of them changes its expression under physical exercise. I checked it for HPRT 2 cycles of change , ACTB much more, GAPDH much more. Of how to treat articles when e.g. these genes are as housekeeping? 

Looking for prevalence data/publication on number of Canadians meeting resistance training guidelines (muscle and bone strengthening activities using major muscle groups, at least two days per week). 

I am looking to provide a dietary plan for 18-25yr old footballers, who have a body percentage over 25%? What are the proper guidelines to lose fat but minimize the risk of injury. Any advice will help. Thanks.

I would specially like to know about USA and Europe.

Thank you.

For example physical exercises or others.

I am looking for a valid survey that tests for the awareness of health benefits of physical activity behaviour - who can help? Thanks so much for ideas! Katja

I'm in search of a commonly-used graded exercise test for an upper-body ergometer that determines maximal oxygen consumption. 

Actually I have a Bodymedia Armband that is quite useful. Any other device?

Yoga, or what passes off as Yoga in the western world, is a $30 billion industry in the United States.. People of all ages contort themselves into positions like 'downward dog' and believe that they are doing Yoga. Due to the limitations and failures of modern allopathic health systems, increasingly people are turning to alternative and complementary eastern health systems in the hope of a cure for their mental and physical ailments. Capitalist tendencies are quick to capitalize on this ignorance/demand and quick to offer a number of services and goods(gadgets) to fool the consumer even further.

All the Yoga texts state that Yoga is a mental process to achieve equanimity, mental poise, stillness of the mind, 'Chitta vriddhi nirodaha'. 'Asana' is mental balance and stability in whatever you do in life, not a physical pose to hold for a convenient time, or at a convenient place(studio). How come its so far away from the truth when it comes to western understanding & practice of Yoga? What has been "Lost in Translation"? If individuals continue to choose the 'juicier' parts of Yoga philosophy(for example the health benefits) and twist it to suit their own convenience in the name of 'freedom' (due to the munificence of the original seers who sought no exclusive rights and patents) and ignore the ethical, spiritual, human, environmental and disciplinary parts, is there a danger of Yoga losing its meaning? By only taking the parts we want, isn't the very purpose of Yoga lost? Why bother calling it Yoga at all and add to the deepening confusion everywhere? Should the charade of the emperor's new clothes continue or an attempt made to define the science for what it actually is?

I am trying to find exactly how the brain is affected by exercise and if beneficial why this would help improve learning for students. 

Unlike regular jobs, MNC companies are running 24 hours a day where workers are appointed in different shifts (3 shift for 8 hours each). Due to odd working hours, many workers cannot participate in physical exercise or sporting activities, especially those who have night shifts. Lack of physical exercise may lead to a serious health issues in workers of all age categories. Is it necessary to allot time for physical activity in between working hours at a fitness unit of company to maintain or improve the physical fitness of workers?

There is not much conclusive evidence of introducing weight/resistance training to children before puberty. It is important to facilitate bone growth at the same time risk of damaging the growing growth plates

Is there a big relationship between dynamic and static flexibility?

How could (the molecular effects of) physical exercise be simulated in a microglial cell culture model?
