Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze the potential of exercise massage on ischemic muscle pain and ROM after exercise. This experimental research uses a pre and post control group design. Research subjects were selected using purposive sampling technique. Next, the subjects were divided into 2 groups, namely group (K1) which was not given special treatment and group (K2) which was given sports massage. A total of 18 healthy men participated in this study. Our first procedure is preparing research administration and permission to borrow facilities and infrastructure. Next, we screened respondents who were used as research subjects based on inclusion and exclusion criteria and filled out Informed Consent. On the day of the research, all subjects collected data on the characteristics of the research subjects, then warmed up, and then the subjects did exercises in the form of treadmill training with an intensity of 50-60% of their maximum ability. The intensity of the exercise was monitored using a polarizer. Exercise is carried out for 15 minutes. 30 minutes after exercise, all subjects had pre-test data taken to measure ischemic muscle pain and Range of Motion. After collecting pre-test data, subjects carried out interventions based on their respective groups. After being given the intervention, the subject carried out post-test data collection. The intensity of ischemic muscle pain was measured using VAS and ROM was measured at the knee joint using a goniometer. The results of our study reported that the group given exercise massage was able to reduce the intensity of systemic muscle pain and increase ROM significantly (P < 0.05). Providing sports massage after exercise can reduce ischemic muscle pain and increase ROM. Considering that pain intensity and ROM are necessary to support body function, our research findings can be used as an alternative to support physical performance.

Dhea Regita Sastika Putri, Budi Prasetyo, Annis Catur Adi, Anton Komaini, Novadri Ayubi – Physical exercise and curcumin supplementation have the potential to reduce pain intensity in women with primary dysmenorrhea: Systematic review. Fizjoterapia Polska 2023; 23(5); 185-190

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG20BSbq

Abstract
This review aims to highlight the potential of physical exercise and curcumin supplementation in reducing pain intensity in women with primary dysmenorrhea. This research uses a systematic review method. Studies were identified through Proquest, Pubmed, ScienceDirect, and PMC Europe electronic databases. The inclusion criteria in this study were international journals that focused on discussing aerobic exercise, stretching, core strengthening, Zumba, and FITT as treatment methods for PD, as well as articles that discussed the efficacy of curcumin as a PD treatment. The exclusion criteria in this study were international journals that had been published in the last 5 years and articles that were not relevant to PD treatment. For standard operationalization, this Study follows the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Based on the results of the review, physical exercise such as aerobic exercise, treadmill, Zumba, squatting exercise, and therapeutic exercise which is done regularly has the potential to reduce the intensity of menstrual pain. Furthermore, curcumin supplementation at a dose of 500-1000 mg can help reduce complaints of primary dysmenorrhea by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase (COX) reaction so that it can reduce inflammation and inhibit uterine contractions which cause menstrual pain.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG20AA3C

Abstract
Background. Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis. It is the main cause of chronic musculoskeletal pain and disability, it decreases the flexibility of the joint, and causes pain, joint effusion and loss of function among the elderly population.
Objective. To examine how HILL therapy (High intensity laser therapy NDYAG 1064 nm) affects knee osteoarthritis. Design. A prospective randomized controlled trial. Setting. Outpatient Swiss physical therapy center.
Methods. Thirty patients of both gender having bilateral knees osteoarthritis were recruited and randomized into two equal groups: the control group received a program of selected quadriceps muscle sets exercise and hamstring, calf muscles stretching for 4 weeks, and the study group received the same control group interventions in addition to HILL application. Ultrasonography degree was the primary outcome, While Western Ontario and McMaster universities (WOMAC) osteoarthritis index measures were the secondary outcomes. All variables were measured at the baseline and after 4 weeks of the intervention.
Results. Statistical analysis was done by using paired’ test which showed significant improvement in both groups. Therefore, there was a significant difference between Group(A) and Group(B), showing that HILL group(A) is more effective than group(B) on pain, Stiffness, Function and ultrasonographic findings (p < 0.05).
Conclusion. Using HILT with a standard program of quadriceps muscle strengthen exercise sets and hamstring, calf muscles stretching has more beneficial effects on bilateral knee osteoarthritis than practicing the exercise program alone.

Mahendra Wahyu Dewangga, Djoko Pekik Irianto – The differences frequency of weekly physical exercise in antioxidant serum levels and muscle damage. Fizjoterapia Polska 2023; 23(2); 112-120

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG0DFB15

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.

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.
