Migraine induces disability and an impaired quality of life, even between attacks. As most studies are based on subjective reports only, this study was set up to objectively quantify the interictal daily activities and heart rate of migraine patients, in relation to their subjectively reported highest realizable level of activity and of symptoms of mood in their habitual environment. Measurements were obtained during a migraine-free 2-day period of 24 patients (age range: 21-57 years) and 24 controls (age range: 18-59 years). Accelerometry was used to quantify the time spent in different postures and movements. The subjective parameters were documented by daily log. Whereas heart rate was similar for patients and controls, migraineurs were found to be significantly less physically active than controls and reported a significantly lower realizable level of activity. In addition, when active, their body motility was less than that of controls. Migraine patients also showed a higher level of sleepiness and lower level of vigour. These interictal behavioural and subjective phenemona objectively illustrate the individual and societal burden of migraine and its chronic impact on both domains.

Background: The aim of this study was to assess the potential factors of hypermobility and pain threshold on the risk of injury in physically active students and to verify which domains of quality of life are rated lower by young people with a history of injuries. Methods: The study included 278 students (138 women and 140 men) who regularly undertake physical activity. Anthropometric measurements, body composition, pain threshold, incidence of hypermobility syndrome, information on the history of injuries to the locomotor system, and the quality of life of the study participants were collected. Results: In the group studied, hypermobility and pain threshold had a statistically significant related on the risk of injury. Participants with a history of injuries had lower scores for an individual’s overall perception of their own health and the physical domain. There were also significant differences in the psychological domain of the quality of life between males and females with a history of injuries. Conclusion: In the studied group, the risk of injuries was related to diagnosed hypermobility and pain threshold measured on the lower limbs. The study also showed that people with a history of injuries had statistically significantly lower scores in the individual general perception of their own health and in the physical domain. Gender had a significant impact on the quality of life of people with injuries.

The introductory design course combines team and individual formative and summative assessment techniques. Individual summative midterm and final examinations were used to assess individual performance.Students were given the opportunity to increase their individual midterm examination marks by rewriting the same examination as a team following the individual summative assessment. This formative exercise providedstudents with a comparison of the efficacy and quality of teamwork versus individual work, and provided immediate feedback and correction for many conceptual and mechanical errors on the summative midterm  examination. This paper reports on the strategy and set up of the midterm examination, the results obtained by individual students and student teams, and learning outcomes (including anecdotal comments from students regarding the experience and reduced time spent reviewing examinations with students) based on two iterations of the course.

Introduction: According to the Brazilian Association of Sleep Medicine, the activities of the present day have hampered the quality and time of sleep, causing damage to the Central Nervous System and releasing substances directly related to stress, thus the metabolism changes in the absence of a few hours of sleep by night they were equated with that of an old man. Objective: To verify the influence of classic (relaxing) body massage associated with atherapy in sleep quality and stress in university teachers. Methodology: An exploratory and qualitative study was carried out, with a sample of 14 university teachers, through questionnaires and massage practices with association of the essential oils of Olíbano and Cedro, controlled the results with oximeter and Power Lab. Results: Although there was no difference it is worth noting that cedar oil reduced in a manner considered the Heart Rate of the volunteers. All volunteers reported that there was improvement in sleep quality regarding the night of the day of receiving the massage, such as decreased pain, constant sleep at night, leading us to confirm the great effect that relaxing massage exerts on the individual. Conclusion: Although the inhalation results of essential oils have not given statistical differences, we can conclude that this procedure is effective in improving stress and gradually improving the quality of sleep.

The article takes up the issues connected to the ecological crisis, causes of which refer to uncontrolled scientifically-technical development, predatory administration of the natural sources of Earth and disrespect of the nature, following from the anthropocentric axiology, the analysis of the Stockholm’s Declaration, the Declaration from Rio and the declaration from Johannesburg, as documents forming the idea of the sustainable development, active that care and respect of nature and preventing degratation of natural environment make a basis of the agricultural and social development and the only rational way to get out of the ecological crisis without radical reduction the quality of human’s life. In discussed declarations they point out the individual, collective and institutional responsibility. It’s set up that the basis of the responsibility figured out like that - for the other human, for present and future generations, for the nature, for the global human’s society, for other communities of alive creatures, for the planet - should be ecophilosophy and systematic sozology. Basing on this two sciences we can make a socio-economical and ecological order indicated in the sustainable development conception.

AbstractDaily routine on Sunday is changing. Formerly a day of religious contemplation, Sunday seems to be a day of rest within the family. Does this change in activities done on a typical Sunday imply an end of spiritual quality? To answer this question this paper conceptualizes spirituality as experience of connectedness to some greater reality which is regarded as important and meaningful. Four options are possible concerning this greater reality: a transcendent reality, nature or cosmos, mankind, or the individual’s self. The data has been collected by semi-structured interview and analyzed by qualitative content analysis. 148 individuals did take part in these interviews (57% females, age range: 7 to 59; 64% Catholics and 22% Protestants). The findings point at Sunday spent with family. Further on we could identify activities representing all four types of spirituality. Together these examples point at the conclusion that Sunday still is a special day within the week. Its activities offer spiritual quality, but it is the individual to reassure it.

According to the vast majority of experts, aerobic exercises are basic in fitness. Their effectiveness in the practice involves the rational regulation of load parameters, one of which is the intensity of exercises. However as practice shows the proposed methods for determining the necessary intensity of aerobic exercises do not quite adequately take into account the individual characteristics - age and fitness level. The purpose of the research is to evaluate methods for calculating intensity of aerobic exercise in fitness. In our studies we proceeded from the fact that calculation methods should consider two main trends. At the aging heart rate at rest slightly rises, and the upper pulse during exercises decreases. A higher fitness connected with significant decrease in heart rate at rest and an increase in its upper rate at critical intensity (expanding the range of heart rate during exercise). According to the vast majority of specialists, aerobic exercise is basic in wellness physical culture. Their effective application in the practice of wellness work implies rational regulation of the load parameters, one of which is the intensity of work. As a result the analysis of real situations it was demonstrated that the calculation intensity of aerobic activity according to heart rate indicators using formulas that take into account only the age of the practitioners is applicable in a certain age range (up to about 50-55 years). As age increases the correctness of such calculations decreases and loses its meaning in certain point due to the fact that calculated indicators of heart rate during exercises may be less than those at rest. Karvonen formula which takes into account the individual level of physical fitness for heart rate at rest is more accurate for determining heart rate in aerobic exercise. Its using allows us more correctly determine the lower pulse during exercises declining it because decrease in resting heart rate. However this formula also declining the upper pulse during exercises, although it should increase as the cardiovascular system improves.

Introduction. Chemistry is one of the last academic subjects introduced into the educational process, which completes the natural science picture of the world in high school. Although chemistry is one of the least popular subjects chosen for the Unifi ed State Exam, it causes the greatest phobias among students. Since the quality of the subject assimilation in general determines the degree of success in the student’s cognitive activity and professional orientation, the publication aims to consider the efficiency of the educational chemistry content when used in the Telegram messenger. Materials and methods. A pedagogical experiment was conducted using additional educational chemistry content on the Telegram channel “Chemistry – elementary”. The research relied on the competence-based and environmental approaches, which contributed to the individual success of the child in the simulated educational space. Research results. The fi ndings revealed that the pandemic and the transition to distance education technologies increased the need for didactic materials in chemistry. The use of additional educational chemistry content in Telegram messenger showed a positive effect on the quality of knowledge about chemistry. During the experiment, academic performance and cognitive activity in the subject ro se. Conclusion. The results obtained made it possible to substantiate a high level of activity in the subject, and overcoming chemophobia. The organization of additional educational content through the Telegram channel in an accessible game form (quiz questions, puzzles) can serve as a factor increasing the effectiveness of the educational resource.

The present research aimed to study the effect of three different training periodization (traditional, reverse, and free training) on the aerobic performance, motivation, and adherence of physically active athletes. We analysed the adherence to three different periodization training programs: traditional, reverse, and free training periodization on the adherence of amateur triathletes. For this aim, the individual adherence, motivation, and aerobic performance time and heart rate (in a 1000 m running test) were evaluated before and after the completion of the three different 8-week periodization programs. The level of adherence to the reverse periodization was significantly higher than in traditional and free training. The number of dropouts in reverse and traditional periodization was similar but lower than in the free training. Finally, neither of the periodization programs improved aerobic performance and reverse training periodization decreased heart rate of participants in a 1000 m running test.
