Pagrindimas
Menopauzė apibrėžiama kaip nuolatinis menstruacijų nutraukimas, kurį sukelia sumažėjusi kiaušidžių folikulų veikla. Šiuo laikotarpiu moterys gali patirti karščio pylimus, prakaitavimą, miego sutrikimus, širdies diskomfortą, svaigulį, nuovargį, galvos skausmus, dažną šlapinimąsi, silpnus dubens dugno raumenis (PFM), raumenų ir sąnarių skausmus, emocinį nesaugumą, depresiją. Pratimai ir kitos fizinės veiklos gali padėti palengvinti menopauzės simptomus (MPS) ir pagerinti PFM funkciją premenopauzinėms moterims. Tarp šių veiklų pilatesas yra saugi technika, padedanti gerinti fizinį ir psichologinį veiksmingumą.

Tikslas
Išsiaiškinti nuotoliniu būdu vykdomų modifikuotų pilateso pratimų poveikį menopauzės simptomams ir dubens dugno raumenų disfunkcijai premenopauzinėms moterims.

Metodika
Moterims buvo atlikta menopauzės simptomų ir dubens dugno disfunkcijos patikra naudojant menopauzės vertinimo skalę (MRS) ir dubens dugno disfunkcijos inventorių (PFDI). Remiantis įtraukimo ir ištraukimo kriterijais, tiriamieji buvo atsitiktinai paskirti į dvi grupes: A grupę – kontrolinę (CG) ir B grupę – eksperimentinę (EG). Abiejose grupėse tiriamieji buvo vertinami pagal MRS ir PFDI kartu su skersiniais pilvo raumenimis (TrA) ir PFM stiprumu. CG tiriamieji 8 savaites užsiėmė aerobikos pratimais – vaikščiojimu. EG tiriamieji dalyvavo TMPE grupiniuose užsiėmimuose po 40 minučių. Abiejų grupių tiriamieji buvo vertinami per pirmąjį ir paskutinįjį užsiėmimus po 8 savaičių.

Rezultatai
TMPE grupė parodė reikšmingą menopauzės simptomų ir dubens dugno disfunkcijos sumažėjimą. Buvo pastebėta, kad TMPE pagerino PFM ir TrA raumenų stiprumą labiau nei kontrolinė grupė.

Išvada
Pilateso grupė parodė menopauzės simptomų pagerėjimą ir dubens dugno disfunkcijos simptomų sumažėjimą, kartu pagerėjo PFM ir TrA raumenų stiprumas.

Tikslas. Nustatyti radijo dažnių poveikį antropometriniams matavimams ir lipidų profilui menopauzės metu moterims.
Medžiaga ir metodai. Šiame tyrime buvo įtrauktos šešiasdešimt menopauzės metu diagnozuotų su pilvo srities riebalinio audinio pertekliumi ir nenormaliu lipidų profilu moterų. Dalyvės buvo atsitiktinai priskirtos dviem lygioms grupėms. A grupė laikėsi Viduržemio jūros dietos ir dalyvavo aerobinėse pratybose 12 savaičių (n = 30), o B grupė laikėsi Viduržemio jūros dietos ir dalyvavo tiek aerobinėse pratybose, tiek radijo dažnių gydymuose per tą pačią 12 savaičių laikotarpį (n = 30). Abiejų grupių antropometriniai matavimai, apimantys svorį, kūno masės indeksą (KMI) ir liemens apimtį, kartu su lipidų profilio komponentais, įtraukiant bendrąjį cholesterolį (BC), aukšto tankio lipoproteiną (ATL), žemo tankio lipoproteiną (ŽTL), labai žemo tankio lipoproteiną (LŽTL) ir trigliceridus (TG), buvo įvertinti prieš ir po 12 savaičių programos trukmės.
Rezultatai: Abiejose grupėse pastebėti reikšmingi visų išmatuotų rodiklių pagerėjimai (p < 0,05). Po gydymo palyginus, abiejose grupėse statistiškai reikšmingai sumažėjo visi antropometriniai matavimai, ŽTL ir TG (p < 0,05), tuo tarpu ATL statistiškai reikšmingai padidėjo (p < 0,05), tai buvo palankiau B grupei. Nepaisant to, tarp grupių po gydymo nebuvo reikšmingų skirtumų BC ir LŽTL atveju (p > 0,05).
Išvada: Radijo dažnis teigiamai veikia antropometrinius matavimus ir lipidų profilį menopauzės metu moterims.

Abstract
Background. Menopause and aging affect the health of obese women, provoking accumulation of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and inflammation. Obesity leads to major health problems, which increase the risk of debilitating diseases that lead to death. Thus, loss of weight and VAT are primary goals of treatment through modifications of dietary habits and exercise. Purpose of the study. This study was conducted to determine which is more effective on interleukin- 6 (IL-6) levels for obese post-menopausal women, whole body vibration training (WBVT) or high intensity interval training (HIIT). Subjects and methods. 45 post-menopausal obese women diagnosed with higher level of IL-6, their body mass index (BMI) > 30 kg/m2 and waist/hip ratio (W/H ratio) > 0.8 participated at this study. Women were divided randomly into 3 equal groups in numbers; Group (A) followed low caloric diet (1200 Cal), Group (B) received WBVT and Group (C) received HIIT. Both groups (B & C) followed the same low caloric diet as group (A). Evaluation was done before and after 3 months of treatment, through measuring weight, BMI, waist as well as hip circumferences, W/H ratio and IL-6 levels. Results. The three groups revealed statistically significant improvements (P < 0.05) in all parameters after treatment compared to baseline. Also, there were statistically differences between the 3 groups after treatment, with the group (B) more favorable than groups (A & C). Conclusion. WBVT is more effective than HIIT on reducing inflammation via reducing IL-6 level in obese post-menopausal women.

Abstract
Urinary incontinence (UI) is according to ICS definition “every uncontrolled urine loss”. Among the broadly understood definition, there are different types of UI: effort, urgent, from overflow, mixed, transitional, bedwetting and other types of UI. The most common type from mentioned is the effort urinary incontinence and the mixed one. Due to the complex nature of UI problem, there are many methods of diagnosis and treatment of incontinence. In conservative treatment, pelvic floor muscle exercises, physical therapy (including magnetic field) and behavioral therapy are commonly used.  The aim of the study.  The aim of work is to evaluate the impact of magnetostimulation and pelvic floor muscle exercises on the level of urinary incontinence among women after menopause. Material and methodology.  The research was conducted among 30 women at the age of 45–67 years old (average ± 56) who were treated because of UI in The Independent Public Health Care Centre named Primate Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński in Sieradz in the rehabilitation ward. The patients were divided into two groups – 15 people each. In the first group participants were tested by magnetostimulation and they were doing pelvic floor muscle exercises. In the second group they were only doing pelvic floor muscle exercises.The patients have been surveyed twice, before and after 3 weeks therapy. In the study two different questionnaires (A and B) were used. They were based on Gaudenza questionnaire. Results. According to the analysis of survey data, these are the following results. In the first group improvement concerned: reduction in the frequency of UI episodes and frequency of urination, less amount of „urine loss” and UI intensity based on daily physical acivity, extending the time of the ability to control urination and better quality of life tested women. In the second group an improvement has been noticed according to subjective patient’s feelings. All data analysis results from questionnaires were not statistically significant.
Conclusions. From the analysis of the results, the following conclusions have been drawn: 1. Combination therapy of magnetostimulation with pelvic floor exercises causes more beneficial effect than applying only exercises. 2. Subjective assessment of participants on how to improve ailments connected with UI, speaks in favour of therapy with the use of magnetic field stimulation. 3. The most common type of incontinence amoung tested women after menopause was the effort one. 4. Therapy with 3–weeks programme of magnetic field stimulation increases the level of satisfaction and improves well-being of poople with UI.

Abstract
Introduction. During the menopause, many changes are observed in a woman’s life. These processes have different backgrounds, but mainly they are caused by hormonal changes that have a huge impact on the functioning of the whole organism. These changes may cause, among others: insomnia, mood disorders, weight gain, and indirectly may affect the appearance of back pain.
Aim of the study. The main aim of the study was to recognize the incidence and severity of menopause symptoms, as well as to assess the degree of disability caused by pain in the thoracolumbar spine in the Silesian female population.
Material and method. The material consisted of 150 women between the ages of 40 and 60 from the Śląskie Voivodeship. The study used: the author’s questionnaire, Menopausal Symptom Assessment Scale (MRS) and the Oswestry Questionnaire. The collected material was subjected to statistical analysis.
Results. There was a wide variation in the incidence of menopause symptoms among respondents. Correlation analysis showed that there are statistically significant differences between all menopausal symptoms and lower back pain. Over half of the respondents (56.7%) struggled with excessive body weight. 79% of women have a moderate degree of disability.
Conclusions. The most common symptoms of menopause are psychological symptoms. The respondents have pain in the lumbar spine. The vast majority of women have a moderate degree of disability resulting from pain in the lower spine, the higher the body mass index result, the greater the sensation of somatic and vegetative symptoms and urogenital symptoms. The obtained data encourage a deeper and broader analysis of the phenomenon.
