Abstract

Problems and Purpose. A measurable physical exercise that follows the rules can improve physiological abilities. However, physical exercise that is not according to the rules, such as lack of recovery time caused by too frequent exercise, can increase the accumulation of free radicals in the body. In addition, the limited recovery time can also increase tissue damage to the muscles. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effect of differences in the frequency of physical exercise in one week on serum antioxidant levels and tissue damage.
Materials and methods. This study was experimental with a post-test-only control group design, with the sample being male Wistar rats. There were 24 male Wistar rats divided into four groups. In the control group, the rats were not given physical exercise. In experimental group 1, rats were given physical exercise 2 times a week. In experimental group 2, rats were given physical exercise 4 times a week. In group 3, rats were given physical exercise every day. Physical training was carried out for four weeks. Then, biomarkers of serum antioxidant levels (SOD, CAT, GPx) and muscle tissue damage biomarkers (LDH, IL-6, and CPK) were checked.
Results. Physical exercise 4 times a week and daily without sufficient recovery time can significantly reduce serum antioxidant levels and increase muscle tissue damage (p < 0.05).
Conclusion. Based on this study, physical exercise must be accompanied by sufficient recovery time to avoid decreased serum antioxidant levels and increased muscle tissue damage.

Streszczenie
Introduction. The aging of the human body, which is an inevitable and irreversible process, causes changes in the structure and functions of organs and a decrease in intellectual and cognitive functions. Physical activity is essential for the quality of life of seniors. The aim of the study was to compare the energy cost of physical activity of women and men over 65 years of age, living in the Podkarpackie Voivodeship. Material and methods. Cross-sectional study covered seniors at the age of 65-74, from Podkarpackie Province. The research tool was an International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Chi-square and Mann-Whitney U tests were used for the analysis. Results. Energy expenditure related to energy cost of vigorous (p = 0.031), moderate (p = 0.014) and total effort (p = 0.007) job-related, motor vehicle-related effort (p < 0.001), and leisure-time physical activity (p = 0.005) was statistically significantly higher in men. In women, higher values of vigorous physical activities in the garden or yard (p = 0.049) and moderate physical activities at home (p = 0.014) were observed. Conclusions. The energy cost of activities requiring job-related vigorous, moderate and total physical activity, as well as the energy cost of effort related to train, bus, car, tram, or other kind of motor vehicle, as well as recreation, sport, and leisure-time physical activity is higher in men. On the other hand, women are characterized by a higher energy cost of vigorous physical activities in the garden or yard and moderate physical activities inside home. The time spent sitting does not differentiate the surveyed women and men.

Abstract

Background. The aim of our research was to evaluate the impact of magnetic stimulation on recovery following submaximal physical effort.  Material and methods. The study was conducted on a group of 19 students. The subjects performed submaximal effort on an ergometer. The test began with a 50-watt load, gradually increased to a maximum load of 3.5 watt/kg. Directly after exertion, the subjects rested 30 minutes in prone position. While resting, they were subjected to low-frequency magnetic fields (VIOFOR JPS device and a program using Ion Cyclotron Resonance, ICR) or to a placebo. During both the exertion and the resting period we continuously monitored the heart rate, oxygen consumption and minute ventilation of the lungs. The blood lactate concentration was assessed before every test and at 3, 5, 9, 15, and 30 minutes after exertion. Results. No significant differences were found in any of the tested variables between the group subjected to magnetic stimulation and the placebo controls. During the 30-minute rest period the rate of return of the variables to baseline values was identical in both groups. Conclusions. Magnetic stimulation of the whole body applied directly after submaximal physical effort did not significantly influence blood lactate elimination, heart rate, minute ventilation of lungs, or oxygen consumption.

Abstract
Background. Recent scientific data are revealing an epidemic of heart failure. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of exercise on left ventricular function and spirometry results and assess the usefulness of cardiac rehabilitation for modification of cardiovascular risk factors. Material and methods. 61 patients with NTHA class II-III heart failure (54 men, 7 women) aged 60±10 years, LVEF≤ 40%; 51 due to coronary artery disease and 10 due to non-ischaemic dilatedcardiomyopathy. 43 patients (REHAB group) underwent 3 week ambulatory exercise program. 18 subjects refused to participate (NREHAB group) and were instructed about the influence of exercise and lifestyle modification on prognosis in heart failure. REHAB patients continued the exercise program for 9 weeks at home. Spirometry, echocardiography and lipid profile determination were performed on entry and on completion of the program. Results. Testing systolic blood pressure in REHAB decreased from 117,2±14,2 mmHg on entry to 106,4±14,8 mmHg at the end of rehabilitation (p&lt;0,05). LVEF increased significantly in the REHAB group from 32,7±8,3% do 35±8,4%. The lipid profile improved, with TC decreasing from 218,8±39,7 do 189,4 ±18,4 mmol/l, TG decreasing from 150,2 ± 76,8mmol/l to 117,4 ± 52,8mmol/l). VC ex and in increased significantly. In the NREHAB group, these parameters did not change significantly. Conclusions. Cardiac rehabilitation appears to improve left ventricular systolic function as assessed with the ejection fraction, and some parameters of pulmonary function. It faciliates the correction of some cardiovascular risk factors in patients witch chronic heart failure.

Małgorzata Dobko, Teresa Pop, Kazimierz Widenka – Exercise tolerance in patients after coronary artery bypass grafting. Fizjoterapia Polska 2009; 9(4); 293-300

Abstract
Background. According to the World Health 2002, ischaemic heart disease (IHD) is the most common heart disease. Of 56 million deaths registered worldwide in 2001, morę than 29% were due to cardiovascular disease, and morę 12% we-re secondary to ischaemic heart disease. Common sequelae of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery include mu-sculoskeletal dysfunctions and respiratory problems. The purpose ofthis work was to evaluate exercise tolerance in patients after CABG surgery. Material and methods. The study involved 20 ischaemic heart disease sufferers, aged 49-82 years, ąualified for a CABG procedurę under extracorporeal circulation. The patients completed a rehabilitation programme designed at the cardiac surgery department. Exercise tolerance was evaluated with the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) before surgery and on post-operative Day 7. Results. The results ofthe 6-minute walk test were statistically significant in younger patients and in those without a hi-story ofmyocardial infarction. Conclusions. There was a correlation between the left ventricular ejection fraction and the results of the 6-minute walk test.

Abstract

Diabetes is a fast becoming one of the most challenging health concerns in the 21st century. Chronic hyperglycemia is the underlying cause of frequent complications such as micro- and macroangiopathy, neuropathy and diabetic foot syndrome. First-line therapy for diabetes includes blood glucose regulation, weight control, self-management, and physical activity. The aim of this article is to highlight the often forgotten fact, that physical therapy forms an integral part of any successful diabetes treatment program. Here, we discuss the recommended guidelines for the use of physical therapy in the treatment of diabetes and diabetes-associated impairments. We examine the benefits and risks associated with this therapy and also evaluate applied kinesiology as potential new treatment.
