Abstract

The aim of the study was to assess physical activity in subjects with overactive bladder OAB. The additional aim was to assess the relationships between physical activity and OAB risk factors.
Material and methods. We studied a total of 109 subjects (101 women and 8 men). The mean age was 33.30 years (SD = 11.15). The study was conducted with the use of a comprehensive online questionnaire. The research tools were: our proprietary questionnaire and the following questionnaires: OABSS, PSS-10, IPAQ-SF. The study population consisted of 51 subjects with OAB who scored ≥ 2 points for Q3-urgency and ≥ 3 points for the total score in the OABSS questionnaire. The clinical control group consisted of 58 healthy subjects.
Results. Physical activity in the study population was significantly lower (p = 0.039, t = 2.09) than in the clinical control group. Moreover, there was correlation between physical activity and hip size (r = -0.31, p < 0.05) In the clinical control group there was correlation between physical activity and stress (r = 0.36, p < 0.001) and between physical activity and WHR (r = 0.26, p < 0.05).
Conclusions. 1. Subjects with overactive bladder reduced their physical activity. 2. The poorest physical activity was found in patients with large hip size. 3. In subjects with overactive bladder, stress, age, BMI, waist size and intensity of condition were not related to physical activity. 4. Physical activity may be one of the efficient form of treatment for people with OAB.

Aneta Dąbek – The symptoms of an overactive bladder in Polish students of physiotherapy. Fizjoterapia Polska 2021; 21(3); 120-126

Abstract
Introduction. Overactive bladder (OAB) is a condition that is diagnosed by at least one of three symptoms: pollakiuria, nocturia, and strong urinary urgency. Overactive bladder is a social disease. It is estimated that problems with OAB affect from 2% to 53% of the population.
Objective. The objective of the study was to assess the incidence of overactive bladder in a group of potentially healthy people and to assess the risk factors for OAB.
Material and methods. The study group consisted of 85 students (58 women and 27 men) of Warsaw Universities, mainly students of courses in the field of physiotherapy. The mean age was 26 (SD = 5.74). The research tools were: the author’s questionnaire, voiding diary, GPPAQ (The General Practice Physical Activity Questionnaire) and the strip test.
Results. The analysis of data obtained from voiding diaries showed that the most common symptom of OAB was strong urinary urgency (33 people – 39%), followed by pollakiuria (21 people – 25%) and nocturia (15 people – 18%). There was a significant correlation between strong urinary urgency and gender (p = 0.03) and between strong urinary urgency and physical activity (p = 0.04).
Conclusions. 1. The group of potentially healthy students experienced symptoms of overactive bladder, such as pollakiuria, strong urinary urgency and nocturia. 2. The most common symptom of overactive bladder was urinary urgency. 3. Strong urinary urgency was more common among women and physically inactive people.

Aneta Dąbek, Małgorzata Bujar, Janusz Domaniecki, Anna Cabak – Relationship between repeated infrared sauna therapy and body weight. Fizjoterapia Polska 2009; 9(4); 332-339

Abstract
Background. Infrared sauna therapy is one ofthe least costly safest and widely used ways to eliminate toxins and combat infections and allergies. Repeated sauna use can lower elevated blood pressure and improve arterial elasticity The present study looked at the relationship between repeated sauna therapy and body weight reduction. Material and methods. We examined the effects oftwo weeks ofdaily sauna therapy on body weight in 18 obese patients and in 12 normal-weight patients using an infrared dry sauna system (65°C for 40 min). Patients were weighed before and after the sauna treatment; oral hydration with water was used to compensate for lost weight. Results. Mean body weight was significantly lower after two weeks of sauna therapy (falling by about 1.77 kg in the experimental group and 1.03 kg in the control group). The most marked weight reduction of 5.4 kg was noted in an obese class II man (BMI=36.9). Conclusion. The results suggest that repeated sauna therapy decreased body weight in both obese and normal-weight patients. We consider that repeated sauna therapy is useful in the treatment of obesity.

Aneta Kościelny, Aneta Dąbek, Witold Rekowski – Pain among women with primary dysmenorrhea. Fizjoterapia Polska 2021; 21(2); 84-92

Abstract
Objective. The objective of the study was to assess pain in a group of women with primary dysmenorrhea (PD) and to identify factors that may affect pain intensity. Material and methods. The study involved 336 women with PD symptoms, aged 18–35 years (mean age 23 ± 3.7). The study was conducted using an extensive online questionnaire. The research tools were: the authors’ questionnaire, the NRS numerical pain rating scale, the IPAQ International Physical Activity Questionnaire – short version and the PSS-10 scale of perceived stress. Results. Based on the conducted analysis, a high level of menstrual pain was observed in 64.6% of the women participating in the study. There was no significant correlation between the level of physical activity and pain (p = 0.280). The correlation between physical activity and the duration of menstruation was statistically significant (p = 0.05), as was the correlation between stress and pain (p = 0.05). BMI, pelvic position and body type did not correlate with menstrual pain (p > 0.05). Conclusions. 1. Most of the women participating in the study experienced high levels of pain in the lower abdomen in the first two days of menstruation. 2. Physical activity did not affect pain in the case of the women participating in the study, neither did: BMI, waist circumference, body type or pelvic position. 3. The high level of stress intensified pain in women with PD.
