The growth and existence of the human body is dependent on these seven Dhatus. These seven Dhatus are composed of five elements or Panchmahabhutas. Dhatu Sarata or Tissue excellence is a quality assessment of seven Dhatu. Examination of Dhatu Sarata is done at physical and psychological level. For determining the Dhatu Sarata, when the positive features are present above 75 %, it will be considered as best tissue quality (Uttam Sarata). When the positive features are present between 75 % and 25 %, it will be considered as moderate tissue quality (Madhyam Sarata). When positive features are present below 25 %, it will be labeled as poor tissue quality (Heen Sarata). The bodily movements which are meant for producing firmness and strength in the body are known as Vyayama or physical exercises. „Dehabala’ (Physical fitness) of subjects will be determined by Harvard step test. “Harvard Step Test” is a practical application of Ayurvedic Principal that “Bala should be measured by Vyamshakti” (Balam Vyayamshakty Parikshet). The person should be examined with reference to his capacity for exercise which is determined by one‟s ability to perform work. Therefore this study will estimate Dehabala and study the Dhatusarata and their association between them.

Introduction. Drinking water is a necessary element of life support of the population. Many studies conducted around the world have established a relationship between the quality of drinking water and public health. On the basis of the Perm State Medical University studies were conducted to assess the effects of oxygen-enriched drinking water on human respiratory, cardiovascular and nervous systems as well as serum erythropoietin (EPO) levels. The objects of study were 32 volunteers (7 men and 25 women) aged 18 to 28. The purpose of the research was to study the effect of oxygen-enriched drinking water on the basic physiological systems of the human body and serum EPO levels of healthy volunteers. Methods. We applied the following research methods: physiological methods were used thrice (on the first, tenth and twenty-first days) to test the cardiovascular (heart rate, SBP, DBP, Kerdo index, Harvard step test), respiratory (BH, JELL, JEL, Stange and Gencha tests) and nervous (Anfimov test, SAN test, ShAS test) systems; laboratory tests of serum EPO levels in venous blood of the volunteers; and statistical methods (statistical processing was performed using Microsoft Office Excel 2007 and STATISTICA V. 7 software package (StatSoft Inc., USA). Results. The use of oxygenated water helps increase functional and reserve capabilities of the basic physiological systems of the body and improve tissue oxygenation.

The article reveals the problems of motivating students to do swimming in the framework of the academic discipline “Elective disciplines in physical education and sports”. Swimming training according to the generally accepted methodology does not correspond to the interests of most female students. At a student age, girls pay significant attention to the beauty of their body, so they choose the systems of physical exercises that contribute to the harmonious development of the body. They have an increased interest in various areas of health-improving aerobics both on land and in water, for example, water aerobics. The main advantage of water aerobics is the possibility of including students of various levels of physical fitness in the classes. In addition, physical exercises in water effectively relieve psycho emotional stress and form swimming skills. The introduction of water aerobics into the practice of the process of teaching swimming girls will improve the effectiveness of the learning process in this discipline.

AbstractThis paper explores some of the cognitive-ecological dimensions of various manual forms of tool use occurring among human agents. In particular, it clarifies what such forms reveal about the intentionality of the human mind. Integrating phenomenological, philosophical and anthropological findings and perspectives, I argue that there exists not one but at least three different forms of operative types of intentionality that are associated with three specific forms of manual technical activity. First, there is the direct type of operative intentionality that realizes itself through a human agent’s concrete bodily movements. Second, there is a materially mediated form of operative intentionality, which is required for performing those technical activities where the external tool directly extends the movements of the human body. Third, there is a more complex variety of such materially mediated intentionality, which underpins those forms of tool use where the dynamics of the tool and those of the body significantly diverge. It is suggested that the relation between these three forms of operative intentionality is best conceived in terms of a structural hierarchy.

Being close to the nature has helped Ayurveda to develop the principles which are time-tested. The unique concept of commonness between the cosmos and human body is the strength of Ayurveda.  The presence of the five elements such as prithvi, jala, teja, vayu and akasha in all the dravya can be deduced from the verse, ‘sarvam dravyam panchabhoutikam’. The body is said to be anitya (temporary) as it undergoes some apoptotic changes each moment. To replenish the lost bodily element, human is dependent on the diet. Ahara being pancabhautika, replenishes the the body to maintain dhatusamyata. A living body has had intrauterine as “garbha” and extrauterine life in the form of “shaddhatuja purusha”. Pancamahabhoota play significant role in garbha avastha in designing the anatomy and physiology of the body. Anatomical or physiological abnormalities seen during or post labour are also attributed to the pancamahabhoota. This works throws light on the role of the five elements in maintaining the normalcy or causing any abnormality in a garbha which may eventually form the base of Ayurveda genetics.

Для сохранения активного долголетия пожилого человека необходима адекватная, индивидуально подобранная с помощью комплексной оценки физического состояния, функционального статуса и социальных характеристик, физическая нагрузка. В исследование была включена 121 женщина (средний возраст 66,77±5,37 года), пожелавшая заниматься в группе здоровья. У участников исследования выясняли профессиональный, социальный и спортивный анамнез, наличие заболеваний, проводили объективный осмотр, функциональные тесты (Штанге, ортостатический, 6-минутной ходьбы, «Встань и иди»). Выявлено, что 75,21 % участников исследования имели в анамнезе артериальную гипертензию. Нормальный тип реакции по САД определен у 71,07 % человек, по показателям ДАД - у 84,29 %. ИМТ соответствовал избыточной массе тела. Показатели динамометрии, спирометрии были снижены, но не являлись критическими. Показатели динамометрии справа и слева были взаимосвязаны с возрастом (R=-0,33; p<0,01; R=-0,31; p<0,01). Значения тестов «Встань и иди» и 6-минутной ходьбы оценены как нормальные. При ортопедическом осмотре выявлено наличие плоскостопия и сколиоза. 91,73 % пенсионеров не работали. Причиной выхода на пенсию для большинства участников исследования явилось сокращение штатов в возрасте около 60 лет, что не соответствует удовлетворительному функциональному состоянию участников исследования. Поэтому на сегодняшний день актуальными являются программы по частичной трудовой занятости пожилых людей, по переобучению лиц старше 50 лет по программам «50+» и по физической культуре этих двух групп. For the sake of maintaining active longevity of the elderly the adequate, individually selected physical activity, that was get after the integrated assessment of physical fitness level, the functional status and the social features, is necessary. 121 women (mean age 66,77±5,37) who decided to engage in physical exercises were included in the study. For every participant professional, social and sport anamnesis, the presence of illnesses, the clinical information and the functional tests (Stange, orthostatic, «6 minutes walking», «Up and go») were evaluated. Was get, that 75,21 % participants of the study had hypertension. The normal type of systolic blood pressure reaction during orthostatic test was present in 71,07 % people, by diastolic blood pressure - in 84,29 % people. The body mass index corresponded to the excess body weight. The indices of the grip strength, spirometry were decreased, but were not critical. The indices of the grip right and left arm correlated with age (R=-0,33; p<0,01; R=-0,31; p<0,01). The results of the tests «Up and Go» and «6 minutes walking» were evaluated as normal. The orthopedic examination has revealed the flatfoot and scoliosis. 91,73 % of the retired individuals did not have a job. Cause of retirement for the majority of patients were stuff cuts after the age 60, which was not in accordance with the satisfactory physical state of the participants of the investigation. Therefore, nowadays the questions of part-time employment of the elderly and re-education of the people with the age «50+», together with the development of physical exercise programs are of great importance.

<div>The hegemony of vision and the suppression of other sensory realms has led to an architecture distanced from the human body. Undoubtedly, vision has the ability to receive the greatest amount of information from our surroundings; hence, it has been considered as primary to our perception. However, its interconnection with other bodily sensations is essential to perceive the totality of space; this connection also compensates for the limitations of sight. The purpose of this critique is not to demonize visuality; it is to consider the rhizomatic and interconnected nature of haptic perception of space. Approaching corporeality results in haptic spaces that enhance or suppress our bodily experience of spatial qualities while sharpening our visual experience. A haptic space will introduce more possibilities for bodily actions by focusing on spatiality, unifying the architecture of the foreground with the background. The concept of spatiality merges space and movement of the body, and therefore it can support or suppress the actions. These actions are subjectively performed based on perceived spatial opportunities through haptic perception. The thesis is intended to explore possibilities embedded within haptic space to create a richer architectural experience. It will explore the spatial interconnections between haptic perception, somatosensory system, vision and consequently bodily movements.</div>

Someone who has experienced an increase in age usually called the elderly. The health of the elderly population must be a concern because of the impact of aging, the elderly experience many changes in terms of structure and function of the body, mental and psychosocial. One that affects the health of the elderly is physical fitness. will decrease. One component of physical fitness related to motor skills is speed. In the elderly, there is a change in road pattern, where the speed decreases. Measuring the speed of walking in the elderly is one way to assess and monitor functional status and overall health in the elderly. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of physical fitness with gait speed in the elderly in the Sumerta Kelod Village. The research method used was analytic observational with the cross-sectional design carried out in March - April 2019. Sampling was done by purposive sampling technique with a sample of 40 people. The dependent variable measured is the gait speed with 4 Meters Gait Speed ??Test. The independent variable measured is physical fitness using the 2 Minutes Step Test. Obtained research results with a p-value of 0.0 (p < 0.05). So it can be concluded that there is a relationship between physical fitness towards gait speed in the elderly in the East Denpasar Sumerta Kelod Village.

Background: The development of era has caused many declines in the quality of human health for all people, especially students. Sedentary behavior plays an important role in affecting sleep quality for a student. Sleep quality has a lot of correlations with various aspects, such as physical fitness. Good quality sleep will give an opportunity for the body to restore muscular strength, prolong the life of body cells, increase well-being, and leading to good physical fitness as well. Objective of the study was to find out the correlation between sleep quality and physical fitness among medical students of Udayana University.Methods: This research was an observational study with a cross-sectional method using the PSQI (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index) questionnaires and HST (Harvard Step Test) to 50 respondents.Results: Fisher's Exact Test results showed no relationship (p>0.05) between sleep quality and physical fitness in medical students. This condition can be influenced by several other factors such as genetic factors, physical activity, nutritional status as seen from the percentage of fat, lifestyle, and psychological conditions.Conclusions: There is no correlation between sleep quality and physical fitness among medical student of Udayana University. Further research is needed related to other factors that affect medical student’s physical fitness.
