Summary Cardiac rehabilitation is an integral part of the complex therapy of cardiac patients. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of dynamic exercise and dynamic resistance training on exertion tolerance, muscle strength of the upper and lower extremities, and respiratory index in patients after surgical coronary revascularization. The study included 84 patients divided into two groups. Both groups of respondents were included in the complex cardiac rehabilitation program of the interval type. In the first group, the patients performed dynamic exercise. The second group of patients received a combination of dynamic exercise and dynamic resistance training. At the end of the rehabilitation treatment, which lasted 21 days, a statistically significant difference in muscle strength of the upper and lower limbs was observed in both groups (p < 0.05); statistically significant difference was found in relation to exertion tolerance in both groups (p < 0.001); a statistically significant difference in duration of exercise stress test was observed in the both groups (p < 0.05); respiratory index values showed statistically significant differences in both groups (p < 0.001). After the rehabilitation treatment, in both groups of patients there were statistically significant differences in increasing the muscle strength of the upper and lower extremities, exertion tolerance, and respiratory index; however, beneficial effects of physical training were more pronounced in the group of subjects included in the program of resistance exercise for the upper and lower extremities.

Abstract Background: The aim of this study was to identify the association between obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and abdominal fat distribution in obese individuals.Methods: A total of 94 obese patients were enrolled in the study from January 2018 to July 2020. Demographic data were collected. OSAS was diagnosed based on the results of overnight polysomnography, and the abdominal fat distribution was measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to investigate the association between OSAS and the distribution of abdominal fat. Results: 1) The mean age (SD) of the patients included in this study was 32.44 (11.81) years and the majority were women (62.77%). The overall incidence rate of OSAS was 51.06%, and 24 (25.53%) patients had mild OSAS, 10 (10.64%) had moderate OSAS, and 14 (14.89%) had severe OSAS. 2) The incidence of OSAS among men was higher than in women (62.86% vs. 44.07%). The apnea hypopnea index (AHI) of men was significantly higher than that of women (5.50, interquartile range [IQR] 3.80-30.6 vs. 4.2, IQR 1.4-12 events/hour, P=0.014). Additionally, men had a significantly higher visceral fat area (180.29±51.64 vs. 143.88±53.42 cm2, P=0.002). 3) Patients with OSAS had a significantly higher visceral fat area than patients without OSAS (178.28±59.89 vs. 135.68±40.58 cm2, P=0.013). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that abdominal fat area and fasting plasma glucose were independent risk factors for OSAS (odds ratio, 1.016; 95% confidence interval, 1.005-1,026, P=0.005; odds ratio, 1.618; 95% confidence interval, 1.149-2.278, P=0.006). Conclusions: In obese patients, the abdominal visceral adipose deposit was an independent risk factor for OSAS. Therefore, improving the distribution of abdominal fat may contribute to alleviating the severity of OSAS.

AbstractBackground:The aim of the study was to assess possible relationships between adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein (FABP4) and total body fat (TBF), abdominal fat, body fat distribution, aerobic fitness, blood pressure, cardiac dimensions and the increase in body fat over 2 years in a community sample of children.Methods:A cross-sectional study was used in a community sample of 170 (92 boys and 78 girls) children aged 8–11 years. TBF and abdominal fat (AFM) were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). TBF was also expressed as percentage of total body mass (BF%), and body fat distribution was calculated as AFM/TBF. Maximal oxygen uptake (VOResults:Partial correlations, with adjustment for sex, between FABP4 vs. ln TBF, ln BF%, ln AFM, AFM/TBF and VOConclusions:Findings from this community-based cohort of young children show that increased body fat and abdominal fat, more abdominal body fat distribution, low fitness, more LVM and increased LA, increased SBP and PP were all associated with increased levels of FABP4. Increase in TBF and abdominal fat over 2 years were also associated with increased levels of FABP4.
