In brief: The effects of a five-day-a-week, moderate-intensity aerobic training program were studied in previously sedentary middle-aged women. The subjects trained for ten weeks, and the periods of continuous exercise within each training session were lengthened gradually to allow them to adapt physiologically. Afterward the subjects showed a 20% improvement in V o2 max but no change in body weight or compsition. None of the women suffered an orthopedic injury. The study suggests that this type of program is a safe and effective exercise prescription for sedentary middle-aged women.

8.7 AE 5.3) were significantly improved (p<0.05). After training, only 18.8% of patients required digitations during bowel opening. The Bristol Stool Score was significantly improved with 40% of type 3, 26.7% of type 4 and 20% of type 5 (p<0.05). Conclusion:The study provides preliminary data that biofeedback training in managing patients may be effective in improving the clinical outcomes with functional constipation patients. Interpretation of the results requires caution due to the lack of a control group.Background and Purpose: Electronic game (EG) playing has become very popular among youngsters, and nowadays, many different game devices are played by school children. Use of these game devices (such as smallscreen handheld and active) may affect the postures and muscular loading,
