Acute and Chronic Whole-Body Vibration Exercise does not Induce Health-Promoting Effects on The Blood Profile
(2015)Whole-body vibration (WBV) exercise is an alternative, popular and easy exercise that can be followed by general public. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of acute and chronic WBV ... -
Allometric Associations Between Body Size, Shape, and Physical Performance of Greek Children
(2009)We adopted allometric models to identify the most appropriate body size/shape characteristics associated with physical performance activities of Greek school children. Children underwent assessments for aerobic and anaerobic ... -
Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using the Bio-TransFix femoral fixation device and anteromedial portal technique
(2006)The cross-pin femoral fixation technique for soft tissue grafts is a popular option in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. One of these devices is the Bio-TransFix (Arthrex Inc., Naples, FL, USA) which provides ... -
Behavior and ductility of reinforced concrete short columns using global truss model
(2006)The main results of an experimental program on eight full-scale reinforced concrete short columns are presented. The specimens were subjected to compression and cyclic reversed uniaxial shear displacements. The parameters ... -
Biomechanics of sit-to-stand transition after muscle damage
(2013)The purpose of the study was to examine the effects of exercise-induced muscle damage on the biomechanics of the sit-to-stand transition (STST). Seventeen volunteers participated in an intense, eccentric based, muscle ... -
Calcitonin effect on Achilles tendon healing. An experimental study on rabbits
(2009)Objective: A positive potential effect of Calcitonin (CT) on Achilles tendon healing was investigated as well as the ability of MRI to follow the tendon healing process. Materials and Methods: A standardized tenotomy of ... -
Design in shear of reinforced concrete short columns
(2013)This research was prompted by the paucity of specific code provisions regarding the design of short columns for shear. The purpose of this paper was to investigate whether the use of the normal shear design procedure of ... -
Differences in smoking attitudes of adolescents and young adults
(2007)This study employed the Theory of Planned Behavior to examine the differences between adolescent (n = 182) and young adults (n = 209) in their intention to smoke and examined possible differences. Analysis showed that young ... -
DNA methylation regulates sclerostin (SOST) expression in osteoarthritic chondrocytes by bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) induced changes in Smads binding affinity to the CpG region of SOST promoter
(2015)Introduction: Sclerostin (SOST), a soluble antagonist of Wnt signaling, is expressed in chondrocytes and contributes to chondrocytes' hypertrophic differentiation; however its role in osteoarthritis (OA) pathogenesis is ... -
Do Increases in Selected Fitness Parameters Affect the Aesthetic Aspects of Classical Ballet Performance?
(2011)Research has indicated that classical ballet dancers tend to have lower fitness levels and increased injury rates compared to other athletes with similar workloads. The aim of the current study was to examine the effects ... -
THE EFFECT OF A TRADITIONAL DANCE TRAINING PROGRAM ON DYNAMIC BALANCE OF INDIVIDUALS WITH MENTAL RETARDATION
(2012)Tsimaras, VK, Giamouridou, GA, Kokaridas, DG, Sidiropoulou, MP, and Patsiaouras, AI. The effect of a traditional dance training program on dynamic balance of individuals with mental retardation. J Strength Cond Res 26(1): ... -
Effects of resistance exercise training and nandrolone decanoate on body composition and muscle function among patients who receive hemodialysis: A randomized, controlled trial
(2006)Patients who are on hemodialysis commonly experience muscle wasting and weakness, which have a negative effect on physical functioning and quality of life. The objective of this study was to determine whether anabolic ... -
Effects of Supplemental Training on Fitness and Aesthetic Competence Parameters in Contemporary Dance A Randomised Controlled Trial
(2012)Within aesthetic sports such as figure skating and rhythmic gymnastics, physical fitness has been shown to have positive benefits on performance outcomes. Presently the link between physical fitness and aesthetic contemporary ... -
Improvement of fatigue crack growth resistance by controlled overaging in 2024-T3 aluminium alloy
(2014)A controlled overaging process is proposed to increase region II fatigue crack propagation resistance of 2024-T3 aluminium alloy. Overaging was achieved by subjecting the material from the initial T3 state to heat treatment ... -
Influence of FRP confinement on bond behavior of corroded steel reinforcement
(2011)This study investigates the bond behavior of corroded reinforcing steel confined with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP). Corrosion of steel reinforcement in reinforced concrete structural elements could pose a significant ... -
The influence of winter vitamin D supplementation on muscle function and injury occurrence in elite ballet dancers: A controlled study
(2014)Objectives: Athletes who train indoors during the winter months exhibit low serum 25.rhydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations due to a lack of sunlight exposure. This has been linked to impaired exercise performance. The ... -
No adverse effects of statins on muscle function and health-related parameters in the elderly: An exercise study
(2013)The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of a repeated bout of eccentric exercise on health-related parameters and muscle performance on subjects undergoing atorvastatin therapy. Twenty-eight elderly men ... -
