Abstract
Purpose. To compare between the effect of aerobic training and myofascial release on claudication indices among subjects with peripheral arterial insufficiency.
Methods. A randomized controlled trial. Overall, 40 patients of both sexes, their ages ranged between 45-55 years and they had ABI between 0.90-0.50 and they agreed to participate in the study, they were recruited randomly and divided into two equal groups; Group A: included twenty patients who participated aerobic training program combined with traditional burger’s exercise for 45minutes, 3 times per week for two months as a total treatment period in addition to their medical treatment. Group B: included twenty patients who received myofascial release technique combined with traditional burger’s exercise for 45 minutes, 3 times per week for two months as a total treatment period in addition to their medical treatment. Pre- and post- study period (2 months), assessment using ABI, COT, MCT, MCD.PSV, WIQ were done for all patients.
Results. the results showed statistical differences concerning ABI, COT, MCT, MCD, WIQ, and PSV in both groups, however, the results were in the favor of the aerobic training group(A).
Conclusion. it was concluded that both aerobic training and myofascial release were effective in the increase of claudication indices and enhancing walking functional capacity among peripheral arterial insufficiency patients, however, aerobic training causes much more improvement than myofascial release.

Abstract
Background. Cancer-related fatigue is a persistent symptom in acute myeloid leukemia survivors, with associated decreased functional capacity, which further deteriorates their quality of life. The current study aimed to compare between the impact of aerobic training and resistive training on functional capacity in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) survivors. Fifty nine patients with AML from both sexes aged between 35 and 45 years,were selected from hematology department in (BLINDED FOR PEER REVIEW), where the study was conducted. Patients were randomly assigned into two groups; Group (A) underwent aerobic training in the form of cycling within 50-60% of maximum heart rate. Group (B) underwent resistive training conducted in the form of a series of exercises using free weights, and dumbbells. Sessions were carried out three times per week, for a total of eight weeks period. Six minute walk test (6MWT), 10 repetitions maximum test (10 RM). Ventilatory functions test, fatigue severity assessment (FAS) and quality of life (QoL) scales were measured in both groups before and after the study period. Results. Significant improvement in 6MWT, maximum oxygen consumption (VO2 max) and vital capacity in group (A), significant improvement in fatigue and QoL in both groups and significant improvement in 10 RM test in group (B). Conclusion. Both aerobic and resistive training significantly improved functional capacity in acute myeloid leukemia survivors with a more significant improvement due to aerobic training.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG20ACCC

Abstract
Background. Women of reproductive age suffer from an endocrine disorder called Polycystic Ovarian Syndromes (PCOS). It is basically related to metabolic disorders along with reproductive dysfunction. About 50-70% of women having PCOS suffer from Insulin Resistance (IR) which causes metabolic syndrome, dyslipidemia, hypertension, along with intolerance of glucose. Another harmful effect that occurred by PCOS is Hyperinsulinemia. Aim. This research is performed to contrast the effects of Sub Maximal Aerobic training (AE) Training with the Flexibility Exercises amongst Young – PCOS Population. Methods-24 PCOS diagnosed women were chosen. Centred on convenience sampling ‘12’ were on the AE group and the remaining 10 were on the flexibility group. Before and the end of the study, ‘22’ samples were screened with the homeostasis models assessment (HOMA) (Insulin), Ferriman-gallwey score, along with BMI. 3-5 times per week, AE of running or jogging was rendered to one group and flexibility exercises were rendered to the other group for 8 weeks and also audio-visual material used for reference. Results and conclusion. In the AE group, a small variation in the Insulin Resistance (IR) (p value = 0.0435) can well be seen as of the outcomes’ comparison. There is a considerable post-test difference in betwixt groups of HOMA-IR. Thus, to improve insulin sensitivity resistance, PA is recommended among the PCOS population.

Abstract
Background. Compromised muscle performance is common problem in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and subsequently affects activities of daily living and quality of life (QoL). Objective. to investigate the additional effect of short-term aerobic training on both of muscle performance and QoL in patients with MS. Design. Single blinded, parallel randomized controlled trial. Setting. Faculty of Physical Therapy, Cairo University, Egypt. Participants: 40 patients with relapsing remitting MS (RRMS) were randomly divided into two equal groups; intervention (n = 20) and control (n = 20) groups. Intervention. Both groups received a therapeutic exercise program of active strengthening and stretching exercises for selected lower limbs muscles. Only intervention group received aerobic training using bicycle ergometer three sessions weekly for eight successive weeks. Outcomes measures: isokinetic dynamometer parameters; total work, power and fatigue index, to evaluate muscle performance. The Short Form health survey (SF-36) was also applied to evaluate the QoL. Results. Intervention group showed a remarkable significant improvement in all of the isokinetic parameters and in several subscales of SF-36 questionnaire as well when compared with the control group (p < 0.05). Conclusion. adding aerobic training to physical therapy program can be more beneficial in improving muscle performance and quality of life in patients with MS.

Abstract

Background: The objectives of this study were to assess the effects of aerobic training (AT) on depression, cognition and functional status in 2 groups of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients: with depression syndrome (MS-D) and without depression (MS).
Objectives: a sample of 31 individuals with MS and 28 MS-D performed 30 minutes of AT using lower-extremity ergometer 3×10 min each day, with a 60-minute break for 6 weeks. Both groups were matched for the age and sex.
Material and methods: all examined parameters were assessed before and after AT series with use of Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Activities of Daily Living (ADL) scale and the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS). We analyzed the drop-out rate as a measure of feasibility.
Results: In both groups, the AT session induced a significant improvement in reducing depression (BDI) and cognition impairment (MoCA). However, the changes observed in MS-D patients were significantly greater than those observed in MS patients, especially in BDI and MoCA. There were no statistically significant correlations of EDSS, MOCCA, BDI, ADL, age or gender.
Conclusions: AT appears to be an effective and simple tool for improving cognition and functional status in patients with MS. This study indicates that aerobic training is feasible and could be beneficial for patients with progressive MS.
