This study aimed to identify the anaerobic capacity level of a sample of Omani children. The sample included 197 children between the ages of 9 to 13 years. The Running-based Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST) was used. The sample was divided into five groups. The first group comprised the nine-year olds (19 children), the second group comprised the ten-year olds (22 children), the third group comprised the eleven-year olds (52 children), the fourth group comprised the 12-year olds (43 children), and the fifth comprised the 13-year olds (61 children). The results showed that the anaerobic capacity level improved during the stages of growth. The level of improvement achieved in 13-year old children was the highest compared to the other age-groups (P S 0.000). This improvement was not at a steady rate. It occurred through booms that coincided with growth which appears in practice through the evolution of not only the level of values on the amount of effort, but also in the level of some related motor skills. It showed a positive correlation between the values of the anaerobic capacity level, the time of running 100 meters and vertical jumping (p S 0.01). Accordingly, this phase can be considered one of those booms. Key words: anaerobic capacity, (Running-based Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST), Omani children, the 100 meters running, vertical jumping.

AbstractAsthma is exaggerated response of immune system which is a leading cause of death in the third world. Main causes of asthma are allergy, smoking, drugs like NSAID (Aspirin) and family history. Objective of study was to check the prevalence of asthma in different age groups and its impact on socioeconomical behaviors of the peoples of southern Punjab, by developing a questionnaire. Incidence of asthmatic attack in the age group of 20 to 60 years was more than in age group of 20 years, furthermore the incidence was found to be more common in females as compare to males. The smokers were at more risk to develop the disease as compared to the nonsmokers.

Background:The purpose of the study is to evaluate age and gender differences in objectively measured levels of physical activity (PA) in a large and diverse sample of residents from an urban area in Porto, Portugal.Methods:Participants included 822 residents, 334 males (41%), and 488 females (59%), aged 6 to 90 years. GT1M accelerometer was used to assess daily PA over 7 consecutive days, and the measurement was from October (2007) to June (2008).Results:Males were more active than females. This difference was attenuated in the 2 oldest age groups (40−59 and 60+ yrs). An accentuated declined in all PA variables occurred between the youngster group (6−11 yrs) and adolescents group (12−19 yrs). Surprisingly, young adults (20−39 yrs) engaged in more moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) than adolescents. Further, females also had higher MVPA in the fourth group (40−59 yrs) compared with the second group (12−19 yrs). Males had higher compliance rates of PA guidelines than females regardless the age group considered. Adolescents had very low compliance rates (females = 18.18%; males = 33.50%).Conclusions:Porto metropolitan area residents had low rates of compliance with current PA guidelines. A low level of PA in Porto adolescents is a matter of concern and suggests that interventions are needed.

Third Grade Students

Within the school, the child is modeled under all aspects: physical, intellectual, moral, aesthetic, starting from the earliest ages, the school years being defining for his personality formation, now realizing his socialization and preparing for integration into the society. Therefore, the latest resources must be used in order to make the process of motor skills training optimal.(Colibaba-Evuleț, 2007). That is why I propose to study various aspects regarding the improvement of the distributive attention to the children of the third grade, so that we can draw important conclusions for the educational instructional process. The development of the schoolchildren should be carefully designed for all age groups but especially for schoolchildren, who are most likely to experience the positive effects of training in the direction of growth and development of the body.

Common Opinion

At the present time there is no common opinion on the methods and means for improving elderly women. Moreover, the nature and intensity of the physical training in relation to the age and medical condition of the elderly women are to be clarified. In this regard, in order to develop scientifically-based programs for the integrated health-improving physical training of elderly women, it is necessary to establish their functional characteristics, depending on their age, taking into account their medical condition. Taking into account the medical condition, the elderly women were distributed by cluster analysis into four age groups: 56–62 years, 63–68 years, 69–72 years, 73–75 years. It has been established that, according to indicators, the vital capacity of lungs and the forced vital capacity of lungs do not significantly differ only between the third and fourth age groups of women. According to the Stange and Genci test scores, there were no significant differences between the first and second age groups of women, and between the third and fourth age group of women. Among women of the first age group, the average strength of the force and the compression force of the hand is significantly higher than in other age groups, among women of the fourth age group, significantly lower than in women from other age groups. The indicators of the resting heart rate index in all studied groups do not differ, but the scatter indicator decreases with age, which indicates a decrease in the lability of the cardiovascular system. The received data can be used for development of programs on complex improving physical training of a researched category of persons.

The aim of the study was to establish correlation and regression dependencies between some traits of sperm production of terminal boars (Large White x Pietrain). The analyzed material consisted of 347 ejaculates, received in the period from 2011 to 2014. The boars were divided in three groups according to the age the ejaculate was obtained at (up to 12 months, from 12 to 24 months, and above 36 months). A moderate and negative correlation was established (rp=-0.34, p<0.001) between the volume of the ejaculate and the concentration of the sperms in the second age group. With the youngest boars we established poor and positive correlation (rp=0.29, p<0.05) between the volume of the semen and the motility of the sperm. The correlations between the traits concentration and motility are poor in the third (rp=0.18, p<0.05), and moderate in the second age group (rp=0.49, p<0.001). Between the motility from one side and the agglutinated and dead sperms from the other, they are within the range of rp =-0.46 to rp=-0.87, p<0.001. The correlations between the agglutinated and dead sperms are positive, from moderate to high and reliable (p<0.001) in all three age classes. The regression trend between the traits of sperm production are almost the same in all three age groups with the exception of volume of the ejaculate to the concentration of sperms.

Introduction Knowledge of the complexity of the root canal system in lower first molars and particularly the apical part of the root affects significantly the realization and success of the endodontic procedure. Aim The aim of this paper was to determine the thickness of the primary and secondary dentine around the main foramen of the mesial and distal root of the lower first permanent molar in teeth of various ages. Material and Method Fifty extracted lower first molars of both male and female patients extracted for various reasons were used in the study. All teeth were allocated to three age groups: under 25 years old (15 teeth), between 26 and 50 (20 teeth) and over 51 years old (15 teeth). After access cavity preparation, canal orifices were enlarged and root canals were explored using hand K-files #10. Using a diamond disc, the root tip was then cut off in the area of the apical foramen. Dentine thickness was determined using a complex configuration comprising of several devices which were interconnected by software. These included a polarised microscope (Leica DMLSP), a digital camera (Leica DC300) and a scanner. Results The results showed that the greatest mean thickness of the primary dentine was in the mesial root of the first lower molar in the first age group (0.177 mm), followed by the third (0.145 mm) whilst the least mean thickness was observed in the second age group (0.141 mm). In the distal root, the mean thickness of the primary dentine was in the second (0.175 mm), then the first (0.138 mm) and finally the third group (0.100 mm). The mean thickness of the secondary dentine in the mesial root was observed in the second group (1.25 mm), followed by the third (1.11 mm) whilst the least mean thickness was found in the first age group (0.95 mm). The mean thickness of the secondary dentine in the distal root was observed in the second group (1.26 mm), then the third (1.18 mm) whilst the least mean thickness was found in the first age group (0.99 mm). Conclusion The obtained results suggested that the mean thickness of the primary dentine in the mesial and distal roots was comparable. For both mesial and distal roots, the greatest mean thickness of the secondary dentine was observed in the second age group.

Mass media is immensely dominating the life in the 21st century. With the passage of time, the role mass media has diversified; from being a mere tool for disseminating news, mass media has become a watchdog and opinion-makers. It has become a powerful agent of inducing social change. Globalization, the greater connectivity, cultural exchange over continents and the pacing up of social development in the Third World countries are some of the consequences of the application of mass media. Pakistan, among the Third World countries, has greatly employed mass media to facilitate the development and growth in its far-flung remote areas. Mass media has played an evident role in beefing up the social developments in small-town, remote cities that suffer from inaccessibility often due to weather, landscape or political turbulence. The city of Quetta, the capital of the province of Balochistan is one such where FM radio, the cheapest and easiest source of communication enjoys vast popularity. This study is conducted to explore the aspects in which FM radio as a source of communication has facilitated the people of Quetta. It also studies the utilities of FM radio in Quetta and hence what factors have caused the FM radio's popularity in Quetta to surpass the popularity of other mediums of communication. A survey with a close-ended questionnaire was conducted in which the respondents were asked about their reasons for listening radio and how many hours of the day they listen to the radio. The results concluded from the study showed that radio is equally popular in people of every age group but each age group has different utilities attached to the radio. Young people listen for entertainment purpose while people from middle age groups listen to the radio for news and current affairs programs. The housewives too listen to the radio for daily household tips. It was also ascertained that its easy availability on mobile phones, free of cost and less dependence on electricity for operation are the reasons behind its popularity in Quetta city. I hope that my research work on this particular topic will be helpful upcoming media studies students. It will also be a humble contribution from my side.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the complex effects of the hot and cold procedures, practiced in modern Spa & Wellness, on skin elasticity, as that indicator is an integral factor defining the aesthetic vision of the skin. Material and Methods: The present study tracked 60 women aged 35 to 65 years. The methods included an aesthetic skin rejuvenation program that contained a complex of 12 Spa and Wellness rituals conducted in a period of one month, three times per week. Each treatment was а temperature contrast procedure through a Parafango body thermo-application and a face cryo-gel application. The facial skin condition was assessed by an A-ONE apparatus - an automatic skin diagnostic analyzer. Results: A significant improvement in the skin elasticity in the three studied age groups was observed after the procedures. This indicator increased 3.75 units (9.93%) in the 35-44 age group, 3.5 units (11.36%) in the 45-54 age-group and 1.80 units (8.22 %) in the observed individuals from 55-65 age-group. At the end of a treatment, the increase in all three age groups was statistically significant (p<0.05). Skin elasticity assessment was significantly lower for all three age-groups before the procedures, compared to the established standards. After the applied procedures, the skin elasticity was approaching the established standard (the first age group exceeded the standard, the second approached the standard and the third was slightly below the standard). Conclusion: The study reveals that the complex effects of hot and cold procedures result in improved skin elasticity.
