Introduction: Exercise and physical activity as one of the key factors can have a significant impact on social health. The purpose of this study was to Comparison of social health dimensions in sport science students with other students from the Jahrom University. Methods: The statistical population of this study was all students of Jahrom University. Seventy-nine sport science students (29 girls, 47 boys) were randomly selected as active group and 76 other students (47 boys, 29 girls) were selected as inactive group. In order to measure social health of individuals, the Keiz social health questionnaire was used. Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and independent t-test were used to analyze the data. Results: The results showed that there is significant different between sport science students with other students in social fluctuation scales (P = 0. 004), social solidarity (P = 0. 046), social cohesion (P = 0. 019), social acceptance (P = 0. 041) and the total score of social health (P = 0. 001). Conclusions: Students of Sport Sciences compared to other university students (inactive), by participating in sports activities in addition to physical well-being, by developing social relationships, they can better understand the social norms of their community and promote social health through social and group activities in sport.

Introduction: Differences in foot structure are thought to be associated with differences in foot function during movement. The aim of this study was to comparison of plantar pressure distribution in runners with different foot types. Methods: 60 male and female runners with normal, flat and cavus foot types participated in this study. Participants ran in 17-m run-way at 3. 3 m/s for six times. Peak plantar pressure, peak plantar force and impulse underneath each region of foot, and medio-lateral and relative time for stance phases were recorded by Footscan® platform. For data analysis, ANOVA and MANOVA with Bonferroni post hoc statistical tests at significance level of 0. 05 were used. Results: Flat feet group have more loading rate in toe1, lesser toes, second metatarsal and midfoot than normal and cavus foot groups. Also, loading rate in fifth metatarsal, lateral and medial heel at cavus group was higher compared to flat and normal groups. Conclusions: It seems individuals with different foot types exhibit different plantar pressure distribution patterns. Future studies are needed to assess other effects of different foot structures especially to identify injury patterns for each group.

Introduction: Chemerin plays an important role in the glucose metabolism and inflammation. It was shown that circulatory levels of chemerin increased in patients with type 2 diabetes. Aquatic exercise has an effect on adipose tissue metabolism, and may modulate the chemerin levels as an adipokine. The purpose of this study was investigate the effect of 12-Weeks aquatic exercise on serum levels of chemerin in men with type 2 diabetes. Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 28 men with type 2 diabetes ( age50. 54 ± 6. 19 years old, BMI 27. 22 ± 1. 93 kg/m2) were selected based on our inclusion criteria and randomly divided into experimental (n = 15) and control (n = 13) groups. The experimental group participated in 12-weeks of aquatic exercise (three session per week). Serum levels of chemerin, body fat percent, waist to hip ratio (WHR), body mass index (BMI) and fasting blood sugar (FBS) were measured before and after the 12-weeks aquatic exercise. Data were analyzed using SPSS and ANCOVA was using evaluate the differences between groups. Results: Serum levels of chemerin (P = 0. 044), body fat percent (P = 0. 001), WHR (P = 0. 011) and BMI (P = 0. 001) significantly decreased, but FBS has not significant changes (P = 0. 137) in the experimental group compared to the control group. Conclusions: It seems that aquatic exercise can play an effective role in the improvement of type 2 diabetes by reducing the chemerin levels and improving the body composition.

Introduction: Multiple Sclerosis is a one neurological disorder that can restrict individual's activity and let to decrease their health and quality of life. This research aimed to comparison the effectiveness of logo therapy and dialectical behavior therapy on general health and quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis. Methods: This research was a semi-experimental study with a pre-test and post-test design with a control group. The research population was the patients with a file in Multiple Sclerosis Society of Gilan province in 2016 year that 60 person were selected by available sampling method and randomly assigned to three equal groups. The experimental groups trained 8 sessions of 70 minutes by the methods of logo therapy and dialectical behavior therapy and the control group was put on a waiting list. The research instruments were general health and quality of life questionnaires. The data were analyzed by using SPSS-21 software and by MANCOVA method. Results: The findings showed both methods of logo therapy and dialectical behavior therapy led to improve the general health and quality of life of patients with multiple sclerosis. Also, the logo therapy in comparison the dialectical behavior therapy led to improve the general health and quality of life of patients with multiple sclerosis (P < 0. 05). Conclusions: The results indicate the importance of logo therapy in comparing with dialectical behavior therapy in improve the general health and quality of life of patients with multiple sclerosis. Therefore, counselors and therapists can use both methods especially from the logo therapy in order to improve the general health and quality of life of patients with multiple sclerosis.

Introduction: Thalassemia is one of the most common hereditary and chronic diseases in the world, and in parents with a child with this disease the ability to return to normal quality of life and adaptation to disease is very important. The aim of this study was to determine the relation between resilience and quality of life in the parents of children with thalassemia major. Methods: This is a descriptive-correlational study that was performed on 165 parents of children with thalassemia major in Zahedan in 2016 who had inclusion criteria. The data collection tool was a demographic data form, a Conner-Davidson resiliency questionnaire, and a SF-36 quality of life questionnaire. Data were collected by SPSS software version 22 and analyzed by descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient and multivariate linear regression with significance level of 0. 05. Results: The results of the study showed that the spatial variation was 89. 1 ± 17. 1 and life quality of life was 97. 9 ± 9. 9 which showed a significant correlation between Spearman correlation coefficient (r = 0. 22, P = 0. 004)), which increased with increasing quality of life. Also, there was a significant difference between parenting education with resiliency (P = 0. 02) and quality of life with parental education (P < 0. 001). Conclusions: Due to the low relative quality of life in the parents of children with thalassemia major, training and follow-up of health care services should be provided by the medical staff to improve their quality of life and their children. Also, considering the relationship between quality of life and quality of life and the level of education of parents, fundamental and structural measures should be taken to improve the academic literacy of the parents of people with thalassemia.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to investigation the effect of aerobic and resistance exercise leptin and cortisol levels in overweight and obese anxious adolescent girls. Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 30 over weight and obese anxious teenage girls were randomly divided to experimental (n = 15, age: 16. 33 ± 0. 97 years, BMI: 30. 48 ± 3. 26 kg/m2) and control (n = 15, age: 16. 53 years, BMI: 30. 32 ± 2. 21 kg/m2) groups. Participants in experimental group performed aerobic exercise training program consisted of 3 sessions per week, each session of 90 minutes for 8 weeks. Aerobic exercises performed at 60-80% of maximal heart rate and resistance training performed at 50-70% of one-repetition maximum. Body fat percentage, anxiety level, serum Leptin, cortisol levels and anxiety variables were measured before and after 8 weeks of exercise. Statistical data was analyzed by using covariance test with using statistical software spss version 22 and the significance level was considered at α < 0. 05. Results: The results indicated that 8 weeks of Concurrent training caused a significantly decrease in leptin (P = 0. 01) and anxiety (P = 0. 04). However, there was no significantly difference in cortisol levels (P > 0. 05). Conclusions: It seems that 8 weeks aerobic and resistance concurrent training may significantly improve leptin and anxiety levels in overweight and obese adolescent girls.

Introduction: Shoulder pain after stroke is one of the most common types of pain and post-stroke complications, which also reduces the function of the affected hand. Shoulder pain is one of the obstacles to rehabilitation and independence on the patient's daily activities. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of magnetic field therapy on the shoulder pain of patients with subluxation after stroke. Methods: In this double-blind randomized, clinical trial, 36 patients with stroke who referred to the Tabassom rehabilitation stroke center in Tehran, complained of subluxation and shoulder pain, were included in the study by randomized sampling. After assigning patients in two groups of 19, in the intervention group, the magnetic shoulder support with the intensity of 1500 Guess and in the control group were used the shoulder without the magnetic feature for 48 hours continuous. Before and after the intervention, the pain was measured by the visual analog scale (VAS). Data were analyzed by SPSS software version 18 and using descriptive and inferential statistics. The significance level was considered (0. 05). Results: The majority of the intervention group (66. 7%) were women and the control group was male (66. 7%). There was no significant difference between the mean pain score of hands in two groups before intervention. However, after the magnetic therapy, the mean score of pain in the intervention group was significantly decreased (P = 0. 001), but the changes in the control group were not significant. Conclusions: Magnetic therapy in patients with stroke reduces shoulder pain. Magnetic therapy can replace or complement other therapeutic and surgical treatment for shoulder pain.

Introduction: Mindfulness is a method for knowing the present, in a non-judgmental way, and a way to minimize involvement in thoughts and feelings. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of awareness education on social self-efficacy and resilience in the glass-dependent patients. Methods: The present study is a quasi-experimental study with pretest-posttest design with control group. Research population include all men dependent on glass in Dezful city. The sample consisted of 34 subjects who were randomly selected from those who were referred to Dezful Hospital in summer of 2017 and were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups (each group was 17). The experimental group received 10 sessions of 90 minutes of mindfulness training and the control group did not receive an intervention. The groups completed the social self-efficacy questionnaire of Guardiola and Herbert and the Conner and Davidson Resilience Scale as pre-test and post-test. Data were analyzed using SPSS-21 software and multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA). Results: The findings showed that there was a significant difference between the mean of social self-efficacy and the resilience of the experimental and control groups in the post-test. In other words, mindfulness training increased social self-efficacy and resiliency of glass-dependent men patients in Dezful city (P < 0. 001). Conclusions: Considering the effect of mindfulness education on increasing social self-efficacy and resilience in glass-dependent patients, advisers, therapists and clinical psychologists recommend using this method to increase social and resilient self-efficacy in these individuals.
