An increase in the prevalence of insulin resistance in the elderly, associated with physiological changes in carbohydrate metabolism during the aging process, is associated with a high risk of cardiovascular accidents and endocrine diseases. This problem requires a solution by healthcare professionals with medication and non-medication. The purpose of the study was to determine the effectiveness of the program of physical therapy by the dynamics of indicators of the cardiovascular system, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, psychoemotional status of elderly people with frailty and metabolic syndrome. Material and methods. 96 elderly people were examined. The control group consisted of persons without metabolic syndrome and without frailty. The main group 1 consisted of patients with metabolic syndrome and frailty with a low level of therapeutic alliance who did not want to cooperate with a physical therapist and / or actively improve their health on their own. The main group 2 included patients who agreed to undergo a developed program of physical therapy (a high level of therapeutic alliance) using kinesitherapy, massage, nutritional correction, education of the patient and his family, elements of cognitive training and occupational therapy for 1 year. The effectiveness of the program was assessed by the dynamics of systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, Kvass endurance coefficient, Baevsky's adaptive potential, Robinson's index, physical performance (based on the results of a 6-minute test), carbohydrate parameters (fasting blood glucose and after glucose load) and lipid (concentration of cholesterol, triglycerides, high density lipoproteins) metabolism, the level of depression according to the GDS-15 questionnaire. Results and discussion. In elderly people with frailty and metabolic syndrome, a statistically significant (p <0.05) deterioration in the parameters of the functioning of the cardiovascular system (according to the levels of DBP, heart rate at rest, Kvass endurance coefficient, Baevsky's adaptive potential, Robinson's index), physical performance (according to the results of a 6-minute test - distance, severity of fatigue, shortness of breath, cardialgia), biochemical parameters (fasting hyperglycemia, impaired glucose tolerance, atherogenic dyslipidemia), psycho-emotional state (depression) from their peers. The use of physical therapy tools led to a statistically significant improvement (p <0.05) of all the studied parameters of the functioning of the cardiovascular system, biochemical parameters in elderly people with metabolic syndrome and frailty, an increase in their physical performance, and an improvement in psycho-emotional status. A low level of therapeutic / rehabilitative alliance led to unsatisfactory fulfillment or non-fulfillment of the recommendations provided by patients and is associated with a lack of improvement in the state of the cardiovascular system, physical performance, age-associated depression. Conclusion. It is advisable to include physical therapy means in the rehabilitation programs for elderly patients with comorbid pathology like frailty and metabolic syndrome for the prevention of cardiovascular accidents

Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine the short term effectsof energy drinks on the cardiovascular system and physical performance of healthy adult malemedical students. Study Design: Experimental study. Place and Duration of Study: This studywas conducted at the Physiology departments of CMH Multan Institute of Medical Sciences,Multan and Continental Medical College, Lahore from February 2017 to April 2017. Subjectsand Methods: Sixty eight healthy, adult, male medical students participated in this study. Eachday, heart rates and blood pressures of 3 to 4 students were measured and then the testsof physical performance (hand grip test and 300 meter run test) were performed (“pre-test”measurements). After that, each student drank 250 mL of a standard energy drink and thenrested for about 30 minutes, after which post-test measurements were recorded in the sameway. Changes in various parameters, before and after the consumption of energy drink werecompared using the student’s t-test. Results: The cardiac parameters (heart rate & bloodpressure) of the students increased significantly after using the energy drink (p-value < 0.05).Mean±SD hand grip of the students increased from 44.97±3.96 Kg to 45.14±3.99 Kg afterconsuming the energy drink, but this increase was not significant (p-value = 0.667). Similarly,the mean±SD time of “300 meter run test” decreased from 68.28±3.40 seconds to 67.93±4.47seconds after the consumption of the energy drink, but this was also non-significant (p-value= 0.448). Conclusion: We observed significant increase in heart rate and blood pressure ofthe study subjects, while no significant enhancement was seen in the physical performance ofhealthy adult male medical students, 30 minutes after consuming the energy drinks.

Relevance. The most common indicators for assessing the effectiveness of health technologies are the cardiovascular performance of adolescents. At present, there is insufficient information on the quantitative substantiation of informativeness, prognostic and diagnostic significance of such indicators in the process of correction of functional and reserve capabilities of the cardiovascular system of adolescents. Purpose: To determine the levels of functional reserve of the heart according to the Rufier index and to study the physical performance of students aged 12-14 years of different medical groups. Materials and methods. 178 seventh-eighth-graders aged 12-14 (85 boys and 93 girls) were examined. All students voluntarily participated in this experiment, and the written consent of their parents was obtained. Physical performance was studied according to the parameters of the bicycle ergometric test PWC170. The division of students into medical groups was carried out according to the indicators of the level of functional and reserve capabilities of the cardiovascular system, conducted according to the Rufier index. Statistical analysis of the results was performed using the application package Statistica-V.10.0. The normality of the distribution was checked by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The studied indicators are described by the median (Me) and 25, 75 percentiles. The relationships of the studied indicators were analyzed according to Spearman's rank correlation coefficients. To determine the reliability of differences in indicators used the criterion of Kraskel Wallis. Results. The main group included 13.5% of adolescents, the preparatory group – 35.4%, the special medical group – 51.1% of students. Among student-athletes, 25.9% of boys and 45.4% of girls belong to a special medical group. In school athletes, the correlations between the Rufier index and the PWC170 test are low and statistically insignificant. Indicators of physical performance in the range of 25-75 percentiles do not differ in different medical groups. This indicates that in a special medical group there are students with medium and high levels of physical fitness. Conclusions. The established age and gender differences in the functional reserve of the heart of schoolchildren determine the need to develop differentiated approaches to the assessment of the Rufier index. Physical performance in different medical groups varies in a fairly wide range. The division of students into medical groups according to the Rufier index does not reflect the level of physical performance of students and, accordingly, their real adaptive capabilities. Further studies are needed on the informativeness of using the Rufier test to divide students into medical groups.

There are presented the results of the comparative analysis of the existing methods of correcting the values of Ruffier index for the children teenagers. The model of the correction of the value of Ruffier index and the model of the correction of the gradation of the estimations of Ruffier test taking into account an age of the patient are proposed. It is shown that the parameter of the correction of the value of Ruffier index and gradations of the estimations of the corresponding test must be a relationship of the standard pulse rate in the state of calmness, accepted for the age class of patient, to the standard pulse rate of adult person. The corresponding model of the estimation of the functional state of the cardiovascular system of persons of school age showed a statistically significal (p < 0,001) correction of the value of Ruffier index and the gradation of the levels of health relatively to the conventional model for the adult, which is recommended. The quantitative assessment of the consequences of correction in the distribution of students on levels and groups of health is represented.
