Supramaximal sprint interval training is an efficient means of improving physical fitness within a short period of time. However the effects of this type of training which cause hormonal and physiological adaptations to increase enhanced aerobic and anaerobic performances, are not well known. Thus, the purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of four weeks of Supramaximal sprint interval training on some hormonal and physiological variables. Fifteen trained wrestlers were randomly assigned into two groups, the experimental [EXP=8] and controls [CON=7] groups. Before and after training, subjects performed [a] a graded exercise test; and [b] four consecutive Wingate tests with 4-min recovery intervals between each. Resting blood samples were collected before and after training. Both groups followed the same wrestling training program for 4 weeks; additionally, the EXP group performed a running-based anaerobic sprint test [RAST] as a Supramaximal sprint interval training protocol for 4 weeks, two sessions per week. The EXP group showed improvements in V02max [+5.4%], Peak power output [34.9%] and Mean Power Output [29.3%] after the training [P<0.05], along with significant increases in total testosterone, total testosterone/cortisol ratio [TCR] and free testosterone/cortisol [FTCR] ratio in the EXP group, but there were no significant differences between groups. Cortisol was tended to decrease in both groups [P>0.05], but none of the variables were changed in the CON group after the training. The current findings suggest that the Supramaximal sprint interval training program with short recovery can increase both aerobic and anaerobic performances. The changes observed in FTCR and TCR suggest exercise training-induced anabolic adaptations

A large number of instruments and techniques have been introduced for preparation of canals, specially in curved canals. It's claimed that FlexoFile Golden Mediums can provide more proper canal preparations. This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of FlexoFile Golden Mediums in decreasing apical transportation during preparation of simulated curved blocks. In this experimental study, fifty simulated resin blocks with 40°Curvature were divided in two groups. 25 canals were prepared using K-FlexoFiles and the others were prepared using K-FlexoFiles and FlexoFile Golden Mediums. Anticurvature Passive Stepback technique with pull and push motion were applied for both of the groups. The amount of resin removal from inner and outer walls of the canals was measured by using superimposed computerized pre and postoperative photographs. Results were evaluated by Mann - Whitney statistical analysis. The amount of resin removal from the inner and outer walls of the canals were assessed milimetric in 11 mm length from the apex. In the three areas of 7, 8 and 9 mm from apex, the amount of resin removal from the outer wall in the experimental group was more than the control group [P<0.05]. There was no significant difference in the other areas both in inner and outer walls between two groups. FlexoFile Golden Mediums in spite of using more instruments, had less apical transportation, and are recommended for preparation of curved canals
