Appetite and gut hormone responses to moderate-intensity continuous exercise versus high-intensity interval exercise, in normoxic and hypoxic conditions
( Elsevier , 2015 , Article & Report)This study investigated the effects of continuous moderate-intensity exercise (MIE) and high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) in combination with short exposure to hypoxia on appetite and plasma concentrations of acylated ... -
Breaking up prolonged sitting time with walking does not affect appetite or gut hormone concentrations but does induce an energy deficit and suppresses postprandial glycaemia in sedentary adults
( NRC Research Press , 2016 , Article)Background: Breaking up periods of prolonged sitting can negate harmful metabolic effects but the influence on appetite and gut hormones is not understood and is investigated in this study. Methods: Thirteen sedentary (7 ... -
Comparison of left and right ventricular adaptation in endurance-trained male athletes
( Akadémiai Kiadó , 2015 , Article)Characteristics of the athlete’s heart have been investigated mostly in the left ventricle (LV); reports referring to the right ventricle (RV) have only appeared recently. The aim of the present study was to compare the ... -
10 Year Cardiovascular Risk assessment In university students
( European College of Sport Science , 2013 , Presentation)Introduction Cardiovascular disease (CVD) causes more than half of all deaths in the European region, and according to WHO, 80% of premature heart disease and stroke is preventable. Healthy lifestyles, such as eating a ... -
Gender differences in anthropometric data and in blood pressure values after a 10 weeks training program
( European College of Sport Science , 2014 , Poster)Purpose: The prevalence of overweight and obesity and the and incidence of non-communicable diseases increased dramatically over the past 20 years in GCC countries includes Qatar (1,2). The early screening and the propagation ... -
Analysis of the relationship between physical self-concept and body composition
( European College of Sport Science , 2016 , Presentation)INTRODUCTION Health-related fitness (HRF) explains the capacity to perform physical activities without tiring and include specific components that are objectively measured with standardized physical tests. The physical ... -
Exergames to Improve Postural Balance in Older People with Dementia
( Human Kinetics, Inc. , 2016 , Conference Paper)The focus of the study concerns the well-documented increased risk of falling in older adults that can lead sometimes to fatal consequences. Improving posture and motor skills is central to preventing falls. Further ... -
Cardiovascular risk factors and their responses to a 10 weeks training program in young adult Qataris
( Openventio Publishers , 2015 , Article)Rapid development in Qatar in recent years has led to numerous changes, particularly the increased prevalence of lifestyle related health risks, with almost 50% obesity rates amongst Qataris of all ages. We investigated ... -
