Increasing the physical activity and sport participation rates of people with disabilities has been one of the most important targets of sport policy both at national and international levels. The purpose of the current investigation was to assess participation in sports or physical activities among Iranian veterans with extremity musculoskeletal disorders. Data were obtained from health needs assessment studies conducted among Iranian veterans with musculoskeletal disorders in a 12-year period between 2005 and 2017. The collected Information on sport or physical activity participation was analyzed using χ2 test, independent t-test, partial correlation coefficient and binary logistic regression (p < 0.05). Studies on 2644 veterans with extremity musculoskeletal disorders indicated that 37.6% (n = 994) of them participated in at least one type of sport or physical activity. The highest percentage of sport participation was 65% in bilateral upper limb amputees. Results from logistic regression analysis indicated that the chance of sport participation decreased with ageing while it increased with "Disability Percentage" assigned by the medical commission of the Veterans and Martyrs Affairs Foundation which is responsible for determining the disability rate of the veterans in Iran. It was observed that veterans with a higher "Disability Percentage" had a higher duration and frequency of sport or physical activity participation. The most popular sports among the subjects were track and field (20.1%, n = 192) and swimming (15.6%, n = 149). Generally, more than a third of the subjects participated in sports or physical activities in total and sport or physical activity participation was greater in the high-level lower extremity amputation group.

Objectives: The objective of the evaluation was to study and determine the impact of eight weeks of aerobic training (AT) on liver enzymes and changes in hematological profile in children with leukemia. Methods: This is a semi-experimental and applied study. Statistical samples include 24 children aged 7 to 10 years that referred to hospital and were divided randomly into two control (n=12) and experimental (n=12) groups. Eight-week AT with 40 to 70 percent of heart rate reserve, three sessions per week, no exercise training program was observed in the controls during the study. We measure Liver enzymes such as Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), Hemoglobin (Hb), White Blood Cells (WBC), platelets (PLT), and bilirubin. Data analysis using a paired t-test and analysis of covariance was performed with software SPSS version 20. Results: The results showed that moderate-intensity AT has a significant effect on hemoglobin and liver enzyme levels and a significant increase in Hb (p<0.05) and significant reduction the ALT and AST (p<0.05) whereas there was no significant influence on WBC, ALT, and bilirubin (p>0.05). Conclusion: AT may accelerate the oxygen supply and reduce liver damage caused by medications in children diagnosed with leukemia without having corrupting effect on PLT, bilirubin, and safety factors.
