    and forty people (58.4%) exercised regularly. The exercise was performed 1-2 days per week with varied duration. They performed exercises alone, in their homes, in the evening. They did not report any expenditure on the exercises. Common types of exercise... reported were walking, jogging, attending an aerobic exercise class, using an exercise machine, and callisthenic exercise. Two hundred and seven people (18.9%) did not perform exercise at all because of the lack of time. The factors correlated with regular

    randomization into 2 groups of 10 smokers and 10 nonsmokers. Then, the left arm and left leg of both groups were stimulated by hot water (42), cold water (12), aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise to legs. Psycho-neurological performances changes before... and after the above stimulations were measured. The results were 1) ‘Psycho-neurological performance’ before Astand exercise and Wingate exercise showed was no significant difference between both groups in terms of visual reaction time (VRT), response time
