The article presents the results of changes in the adaptive ability of dogs of different ages before and after exposure to physical activity in different seasons of the year in the conditions of Sakhalin island (Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk). The main clinical and physiological parameters of the body of service dogs of the German shepherd breed were studied. The authors established a certain relationship between the degree of training and the response of the body of service dogs to physical activity in different seasons of the year. The most stressful periods for the life of service animals are summer and spring, and autumn and winter are consid-ered more comfortable. In General, the authors believe that service dogs are quite well adapted to use them in a moderate monsoon climate in the Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk region, regardless of age. Regular train-ing conducted with service dogs increases their resistance to physical exertion and endurance, so older dogs have adaptive abilities.

Exercise Induced

The lack of adequate physical activity and obesity created a worldwide pandemic. Obesity is characterized by the deposition of adipose tissue in various parts of the body; it is now evident that adipose tissue also acts as an endocrine organ capable of secreting many cytokines that are though to be involved in the pathophysiology of obesity, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome. Adipokines, or adipose tissue-derived proteins, play a pivotal role in this scenario. Increased secretion of proinflammatory adipokines leads to a chronic inflammatory state that is accompanied by insulin resistance and glucose intolerance. Lifestyle change in terms of increased physical activity and exercise is the best nonpharmacological treatment for obesity since these can reduce insulin resistance, counteract the inflammatory state, and improve the lipid profile. There is growing evidence that exercise exerts its beneficial effects partly through alterations in the adipokine profile; that is, exercise increases secretion of anti-inflammatory adipokines and reduces proinflammatory cytokines. In this paper we briefly describe the pathophysiologic role of four important adipokines (adiponectin, leptin, TNF-α, and IL-6) in the metabolic syndrome and review some of the clinical trials that monitored these adipokines as a clinical outcome before and after exercise.

This research deals with the study of blood microcirculation peculiarities.Materials and methods. 72 students of Bogdan Khmelnytsky Melitopol State Pedagogical University, aged 18–19, were examined. The experimental research consisted of the study of blood microcirculation functional state by means of Laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) method. It helped to evaluate the state of tissue blood-circulation and to detect individual-typological peculiarities of blood microcirculation under the influence of physical activity (before and after exercise).Results. Three types of blood microcirculation were identified by using LDF-metry. The normoemic type of blood microcirculation, characterized by the superposition of oscillatory rhythms and reflected the balance of the mechanisms of regulation of microcirculation. The hyperemic type, characterized by a «monotonous» LDF-gram with a high parameter of microcirculation, which reflects the relative predominance of metabolic mechanisms in the regulation of microcirculation. The hypoemic type, characterized by a «monotonous» LDF-gram with a low parameter of the microcirculation parameter, which reflects the decrease of vasomotor mechanisms in the regulation of microcirculation. According to the LDF-metric data, the examined students under intensive physical activity have a significant increase in microcirculatory status: by 6 % of the microcirculation parameter, by 28 % of the mean square deviation and by 45 % of the initial value of the coefficient of variation.Conclusions. This dynamics of microcirculation shows that under the influence of physical exertion, a person creates significant functional reserves for the redistribution of blood flow and for more perfect intraorgan capillary blood flow. It was found, that in the process of physical activity, morpho-functional rearrangements of the human cardiovascular system occur. This reaction is formed by several components of blood microcirculation: blood flow in the transport direction, regulating blood supply in accordance with the needs of tissues and the exchange component of the histochemical barrier

Abstract: Physical activities include all body movements ranging from a small movement to a movement that involves several large muscles such as lifting the arms and legs. During a physical activity, the body temperature will increase, and as a compensatory mechanism, the body will sweat and release several kinds of electrolyte such as magnesium, sodium, and potassium. Potassium is a macronutrient that is widely available in the intracellular fluid (ICF). The normal value of serum potassium is 3.5-5.0 mmol/L. This study aimed to obtain the comparison of blood potassium levels of fourth year students of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Sam Ratulangi Manado, before and after vigorous physical activities. This was an experimental study with a one group pretest-posttest design. There were 21 male students as respondents obtained by using the simple random sampling method. Data were analyzed by using the paired t-test. The physical activity conducted was playing futsal for 2x20 minutes with a break of 10 minutes in between. The results showed that the average of serum potassium level before doing the physical activity was 3.7 mmol/L, and the average of the serum potassium level after doing physical activity was 3.8 mmol/L. The paired t-test showed a p value of 0.061 (p>0.05). Conclusion: There was no significant difference between serum potassium levels before and after vigorous physical activity, Keywords: potassium, physical activity, vigorous intensity Abstrak: Aktivitas fisik meliputi semua gerakan tubuh mulai dari gerakan kecil sampai gerakan yang melibatkan pergerakan beberapa otot besar seperti saat mengangkat lengan atau tungkai.

The aim of the paper was to investigate health aspects of high altitude trekking such as preparation for the physical exertion during trekking at high altitude, the impact of mountaineering on the daily life before and after the expedition, the effect of high-mountain conditions on health and well-being. It was found that in the pre-departure period trekkers commonly train to ensure that they are physically fit for the expedition. They train alone or under the supervision of a trainer. Self-prepared workouts may turn out to be insufficient due to the lack of appropriate training plans. The most challenging aspects of high altitude trekking for the body include carrying too heavy equipment, dealing with illegibly marked routes, wearing inappropriate clothing, having an unbalanced diet, not having enough water, which can lead to dehydration and infections. Misconduct by other people poses a risk. The specific type of effort involved in mountaineering requires balanced nutrition in terms of both micro- and macro-elements. To find the right combination, one has to either experiment or seek advice from a dietitian. However, relatively few people consult a nutrition coach. Among sanitary problems, the most serious one is inappropriate human waste disposal, the resulting lack of drinkable water. Some of the observed problems result from insufficient regulations regarding the conduct in the mountains and from trekkers’ lack of awareness regarding good practices in such extreme conditions.

Physically active people are usually more satisfied with their bodies than are sedentary people (Davis, 2002), but the influences exerted by physical activity on body image (BI) are not clear. In the current study, the effects of a posture correction exercise (PCE) session on attitudinal state BI were examined. We wanted to know if a single PCE session could have an immediate and positive influence on attitudinal state BI in women. Participants (217 women) were randomized into 2 groups either taking part in a PCE (experimental condition) or a reading-a-newspaper (RN; control condition) session, in a cross-over design. Before and after PCE and RN sessions, participants completed the Body Image States Scale (Cash, Fleming, Alindogan, Steadman, & Whitehead, 2002), indicating their attitudinal state BI at that time. Results showed an immediate increase in state BI scores after a 1-hour PCE session, suggesting that the acute effect of PCE causes an improvement in attitudinal state BI.

Introduction. Training in the cadet corps involves an increase in physical activity against a background of high informatization, which affects the autonomic nervous system’s functional capabilities and adaptation to stress. Materials and methods. The observation group consisted of 74 male students of the Cadet Corps (CC). The comparison group consisted of 26 boys aged 10-13 years who studied in a public secondary school (PSS). To evaluate the mode of physical activity, nutritional status, fitness, physical performance the authors performed bioimpedance analysis of body composition. The assessment of the vegetative status was carried out on the basis of the results of cardiointervalography with an active clinoorthostatic test. Results. Analysis of the personal data showed a great commitment to sports among the CC students. Cadets showed significantly higher values of the phase angle, active cellular and musculoskeletal mass, basic and specific metabolism. When recording cardiointervalography of rest in children of the observation group relative to the comparison group, statistically significant differences were revealed between the values of SDNN, RMSSD, variation range, vegetative balance index, rhythm vegetative index of physical exertion by 1.2-1.6 times. In 71.2% of cadets, the power of the heart rate variability spectrum corresponded to a high level. In children from the observation group, the initial vagotonia was recorded 2.2 times more often, and hypersympathicotonia - 7.0 times less often than in the comparison group. In the structure of autonomic reactivity in cadets, the hypersympathicotonic variant prevailed. Conclusion. The results of the analysis of the component composition of the body indicate sufficient fitness, physical activity and physical working capacity in CC students. The vegetative status of cadets is characterized by the predominance of the parasympathetic influence in the regulation of the heart rate. The hypersympathicotonic variant of autonomic reactivity indicates the exertion of adaptation processes to stress.

Evaluation of the effects of an eight-week innovative FITT program of Physical Education to Physical Activity (PA) and health-related fitness (HRF). In the experimental group (N=92), with FITT guidelines, the students have been “introduced” to the development of the HRF zone. There have been 16 classes for the development of the aerobic fitness and 8 classes for the development of muscular fitness. Flexibility has been developed in the final parts of each class. The csontrol group (N=86) attended traditional classes of the same volume. Before and after the intervention, the HRF components evaluation was performed with the battery of FITNESSGRAM tests and the PA by the pedometer OMRON HJ-320. Both groups showed a significant increase in the maximum consumption of oxygen and the number of depleted shares (PACER laps), with the simultaneous decrease in the PA level. The FITT program significantly contributed to the improvement of aerobic fitness, muscular fitness and partially flexibility. There was no difference between the group in the body composition and the PA level. FITT intervention is a promising school strategy for improving the aerobic and muscular fitness of students.

Abstract Objective: Sleepiness caused by poor sleep hygiene may increase the risk of injuries and damages during physical activity. Individual data so far indicate a generally better static postural stability of women regardless of sleeping conditions. The main aim of this study was to assess the impact of sleep deprivation on postural stability according to gender after 24 hours of sleep deprivation. Methods: Participants included 83 students (36 men and 47 women). Postural stability was measured with eyes open and closed eyes before and after sleep deprivation. Data from posturographic platform were used to assess postural stability objectively. Results: The type of test determined the size of observed changes in postural stability. The data suggest that women are better able to cope with the effects of sleep deprivation than men. Conclusion: Postural control system is very important in sport and in physically active people. The results show that men are more sensitive to sleep deprivation than women because they had higher COP path length values in tests. Less postural stability of the body due to sleep deprivation indicates a higher risk of injury during physical activity.

Физические упражнения - это эффективный профилактический метод защиты от болезней и преждевременного старения. Для нормального функционирования организму нужна физическая нагрузка. Исследование проведено на 17 физиологически здоровых студентах в возрасте от 21 до 25 лет. Анализировали данные по 16 биологически активным точкам по стандартным меридианам, которые связана с активностью соответствующих внутренних органов. Результаты показателей электропроводности (ЭП) биологически активных точек (БАТ) на коже, по стандартным меридианам помогают оценить физиологическое состояние органов при определенной физической нагрузке. Было обнаружено, что значения ЭП БАТ кожи, полученные по стандартным меридианам органов до и после физической активности, увеличивались или уменьшались в некоторых органах. С энергетической точки зрения экономия энергии в организме наблюдается при повышенных и пониженных значениях ЭП БАТ во время физических нагрузок. Было установлено повышенние ЭП (р<0,05) БАТ кожи после физической нагрузки. по стандартным меридианам органов: сердце, тонкий кишечник, толстый кишечник и почки. Было обнаружено, что под влиянием физических нагрузок в биоактивных точках меридианов легких, желудка, мочевого пузыря, печени статистически достоверно снижалось ЭП БАТ (р<0,05). Exercise is an effective preventive measure against disease and premature aging. For normal functioning, the body needs physical activity. The study was conducted on 17 physiologically healthy students aged 21 to 25 years. Analyzed data on 16 biologically active points along the standard meridians, which are associated with the activity of the corresponding internal organs. The results of indicators of electrical conductivity (ЕС) of biologically active points (BAP) on the skin, according to standard meridians, help to assess the physiological state of organs under a certain physical load. It was found that the blood pressure values EС of cutaneous BAP, obtained from standard organ meridians before and after physical activity, increased or decreased in some organs. From an energy point of view, energy savings in the body are observed with increased and decreased values of EP BAP during physical exertion. An increase in EС (р<0,05) of the BAP skin was found after exercise. along the standard meridians of organs: heart, small intestine, large intestine and kidneys. It was found that under the influence of physical activity in the bioactive points of the meridians of the lungs, stomach, urinary bladder, liver, the EС BAP significantly decreased (р<0,05).
