Abstract
Objective. To determine the effect of joint mobilization on Heel Fat Pad Syndrome among obese geriatrics. Methods. The randomized controlled study was performed at the Saveetha Physiotherapy OPD, Saveetha Institute of Medical and Technical Sciences, Chennai, Tamilnadu, India. 202 samples aged above 60 years were collected based on the criterion for inclusion and exclusion. Interventions. The experimental Group (101Subjects) was treated with Ultrasound and Joint Mobilization. The Control Group (101 Subjects) was treated with Ultrasound and conventional Exercises. The lifestyle and Balance Assessment used the Foot Function Index and Berg balance scale. A numeric Pain Rating Scale was used to measure Pain. Results. The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test revealed a significant difference (p < 0.001) in the experimental Group between the pre-test and post-test values of NPRS, FFI, and BBS. Similarly, the Control Group showed a significant difference (p < 0.001) in the pre-test and post-test values of NPRS, FFI, and BBS. The comparison of post-test scores between the Experimental Group and the Control Group also showed a significant difference (p < 0.001), indicating significant improvements in the experimental group. As a result, the effects of Joint Mobilization on Heel Pad Syndrome minimize the symptoms of heel fat pad syndrome, Improve Foot Function and balance and reduce pain. Conclusion. The study provided evidence that ultrasound and joint mobilization used in this study show a significant reduction in pain and balance with non-specific heel pain.

Muhammad Nasihul Waffak, Ervin Arifianti, Ali Satia Graha – HIIT vs continuous training in obesity prevention –  Fizjoterapia Polska 2024; 24(3); 363-366

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG020A8PL

Abstract:
This research discusses the role of training using the High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and Continuous Training models with their influence in preventing weight gain or preventing obesity.
Material and Methods. The research used male Wistar animals aged 2 to 3 months with a total of 27 Wistar, HIIT (n = 9), Continuous (n = 9), Control (n = 9). The HIIT training protocol uses an intensity of 90‑100% of the total maximum baseline speed with intervals of 1:1 (2 minutes on: 2 minutes off) for 15 minutes. Continuous training uses an intensity of 50‑70% of the baseline speed for 30 minutes. Controls were not given any treatment at all. The exercise procedure uses a special Wistar treadmill and the exercise is carried out for 6 weeks. Body weight was measured using a WRT type scale. Data were presented descriptively and tested pre‑post body weight differences using the paired sample T-test and tested body weight between groups using ANOVA.
Result. The HIIT group experienced an increase in body weight of 49%. In the Continuous group, there was a difference between pre and post body weight which increased by 50%. In the control group, there was also a significant difference between pre and post body weight, which increased by 70%. Meanwhile, in the final body weight between groups compared with control, there was also a significant difference between HIIT vs Control (P = 0.008), Continuous vs Control (P = 0.016).
Conclusion. HIIT and continuous training models can be used as alternatives to prevent weight gain. This exercise model has the same effect in terms of preventing weight gain.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG020AYN5

Abstract:
Aim. This study aimed to compare the effects of high‑volume high‑intensity interval training (HV‑HIIT), low‑volume high‑intensity interval training (LV‑HIIT), and moderate‑intensity continuous training (MICT) on regional body fatness and serum lipids in adult obese women.
Methods. Forty‑six women with obesity and dyslipidemia completed this study. They were randomly allocated to HV‑HIIT protocol (n = 15), LV‑HIIT protocol (n = 14), and MICT protocol (n = 17). The protocols were performed three days a week for eight weeks. Measurements included body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), sub-total fat, leg fat, trunk fat, arm fat, lean mass, fat-free mass, and bone mineral content via DXA, self-paced maximal cycle test for HRmax determination, and serum lipids (TC, HDL, LDL, TG).
Results. HV‑HIIT led to significantly greater improvements in HRmax, body fat measures, TC, and HDL compared to the other protocols (p < 0.05). Both LV‑HIIT and MICT were effective in reducing TC, but LV‑HIIT showed better results for improving HDL (p < 0.05).
Conclusion. HV‑HIIT was the most effective for reducing body fat and improving TC and HDL, while LV‑HIIT was superior to MICT in improving HDL.
