Purpose: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is strongly associated with altered levels of inflammatory cytokines and increased metabolic abnormalities. In this study, the effect of combined training on serum concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines interleukin 18 (IL18), anti-inflammatory interleukin 10 (IL10) and metabolic syndrome-related factors in elderly women with fatty liver was investigated.Methods: twenty-four elderly women with NAFLD were selected purposively and were randomly divided into training (n = 12) and control (n = 12) groups. Combined training was performed for ten weeks. Using ZellBio kit, IL18 and IL10 levels were measured by ELISA and fatty liver levels by ultrasound procedure. Blood and anthropometric factors were measured as well. Statistical analysis was performed using paired samples t-test and Wilcoxon, covariance and Spearman correlation procedures.Results: Decreased and increased serum concentrations of interleukin 18 (P = 0.00) and interleukin 10 (P = 0.00) were observed in the training group compared to the control group, respectively. Also, weight, waist circumference (P = 0.00) and metabolic markers including triglyceride (TG) (P = 0.00), insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) (P = 0.01), liver fat (P = 0.00), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (P = 0.04) and glucose (P = 0.00) levels were significantly reduced. Moreover, there was no significant difference between insulin (P = 0.11) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (P = 0.07) levels.Conclusion: Combined training can improve the levels of inflammatory cytokines and reduce metabolic risk factors associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver and play an effective role in the health of the elderly by augmenting anti-inflammatory effects.

Purpose: Recovery after intense interval training plays an important role in improving athletic performance, while the type of recovery and exercise background can affect athletic performance. The aim of this study was to compare the Response of blood buffering capacity to three types of recovery during Repeated High-Intensity endurance test in trained and untrained girls' students of Farhangian University.Methods: 30 female students of Farhangian University (mean age 22.49 ±.3 (year), weight 68.33 ± 7.31 (kg) and height 176.76 ± 8.32 (cm) were randomly selected in three recovery groups (active: N=10, passive: N=10, Stretching: N=10) randomly. The Subjects underwent three types of recovery during the repeated high-intensity endurance test after evaluating the maximum oxygen consumption according to a specific pattern in a crossover methods, three days in a week. Arterial blood sample were taken measured before and immediately after the test and buffering capacity and carnosine were analyzed by ABG and ELISA techniques. After 8-eight weeks of aerobic exercise (65-80% of maximal heart rate), the test and blood sampling were repeated with the same pre-test and at the same time.Results: In untrained girls, only significant difference was found between stretching and active recovery for oxygen saturation, and in trained girls' there was a significant increase in oxygen saturation for active and passive recovery. Significant increase in blood acidity, bicarbonate, base buffers and carnosine was observed in trained girls by active recovery (P ≤ 0.05).Conclusion: The results show that the response of buffering capacity to the three types of recovery was significantly higher in trained subjects. Which is more notable with active recovery.

Purpose: Today, identifying and designing educational, low-cost and accessible exercise interventions for patients, especially those with Multiple Sclerosis appears to be essential. One potential approach may be to practice through media such asose of this study was to investigate the effect of two months pillates training with and without supervision on women with Multiple Sclerosis. Methods: This study was semi experimental with pre-test and post-test design. Thirty women with multiple sclerosis (age: 43/6 ± 6/24 years, Height: 163/20 ± 5/40cm, weight 60/22 ± 6/52 kg) participated and divided into three groups: control, exercise with deliverd CD, and exercise with coach. SPPB test (balance, walking speed, lower extremity strength) was performed before and after training. The exercises lasted for 8 weeks, 1 hour,3 sessions per week. To analysis of data analysis of covariance (p < 0.05) was used. Results: Results showed that the SPPB scores of the CD group increased in the post-test compared to the pre-test but did not show a statistically significant difference. (p < 0.05, F (1, 13) = 3.52). However, the effect size was 21persent. That is, two months of selective exercise with a CD at home had a 21% effect on SPPB for women with MS. Also There was a statistically significant increase in SPPB scores in the training group (p = 0.005 and F (1,14) = 0 .11). Conclusion: It can be concluded that selected Pilate's home exercise with CD on the SPPB of MS patients is 21% effective and can be easily accessed with very low cost and cost. Since this research is the first of its kind in the country, further research is needed.
