Purpose: Analysis current goals at the gyms would answer some of the questions about the (un)continuation of physical activity (PA) and point out factors that have less attention in care and health program. This article examines women's exercise space in order to answer an important question: ‘Why most women have problems with regular PA and cannot permanently benefit from a long-term regular exercise program?’ This was a qualitative study. Method: Data collection was carried out through attendance at women's gyms and registration of symbols and symptoms and analyzed by thematic analysis (Broun & Clark, 2006). Results: Results showed that there were two main themes for women to participate in the PA which can be defined in terms of goals. Objectives called fear of obesity and overweight; and the goals of trying to be healthy and health management. However, the categories related to these two theme overlap but they are different in nature and make fundamental changes in women’s PA performance. By examining the persistence of women's participation in PA this hypothesis is raised; i.e., women’s long-term goals and regular attendance in PA is related to goals created by the health management goals and personal responsibility about their own health behaviors while irregular attendance activity is related to priorities and goals created by the fear of obesity atmosphere. Conclusions: The preliminary evidence of the presence of women in the practice confirms this claim but additional studies are needed to confirm this.

Infertility is a health problem that affects about 10-15% of couples worldwide. Infertility is defined as the inability of couples to successfully conceive a child after one year of unprotected sex. The causes of infertility are often not easily identified. However, this disorder appears to be due to genetic or environmental factors, some of which may be modifiable and may be considered as a treatment option. The use of emerging infertility treatment technologies has been somewhat effective. However, these methods are very expensive and, in some cases, their success rate is relatively low. A sedentary lifestyle can lead to several disorders such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer and conditions such as obesity. Obesity can have a negative effect on the fertility of couples. Overall, it seems that changing the sedentary lifestyle and increasing physical activity by performing regular exercise training can enhance the chances of fertility. However, it should be noted that strenuous exercise training has a negative effect on fertility.

Background and Purpose: Overweight and obesity in childhood are associated with the potential risk of cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome in adulthood. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 12 weeks of moderate endurance training on lipid profile and body composition of overweight girls. Material and Method: The present study was semi-experimental with pre-test and post-test design, in which 19 overweight girls aged 8 to 12 were randomly selected. Before and after intervention, body composition of subjects was measured under fasting conditions by BODY LOGIC BODY FAT ANALYZER and biochemical indices were measured and recorded by enzyme-calorimetric method. Results: Statistical analysis showed that 12 weeks of endurance training resulted in a significant reduction in triglycerides levels (p<0.025) and body fat percentage (p<0.002), while no significant change was found in cholesterol serum levels and body mass index. Conclusions: The findings of this study suggested that moderate intensity endurance training lead to improvement of body composition and biochemical parameters related to obesity in overweight girls, which reflected the vital role of these training in preventing obesity and related cardiovascular diseases among children and adolescents.
