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.

Lung vital capacity is the status of physiological conditions associated with the ability to treat respiration together with the increasing of physical fitness, so lung vital capacity is a process involving the mechanism of the heart and blood vessels and blood which aims to provide O2 to cells in the body and transport CO2 out of body. The purpose of this study is to determine the correlation between lung vital capacity and the physical fitness level of Pendor Football Athletes from Universitas Riau. The collecting of data in this study is data from lung vital capacity tests and physical fitness with a sample of 20 athletes. Analysis of the data that used to process data is Product Moment correlation. For determining the significance of data, it uses formulation of t distribution. The results that obtained from lung vital capacity have a significant correlation with the level of physical fitness, this is indicated by the results obtained by r count (0622) > r table (α = 0.05) = 0.456. Meanwhile, t distribution test is obtained the result of t count (3,369) > t  table (1,734). So H0 is refused  and Ha is accepted. Thus it can be concluded that there is a significant correlation between the lung vital capacity (x) and the level of physical fitness (y).

Aims: The aim of this study is to investigate the association of physical fitness with longterm Blood Pressure Variability (BPV) in young male adults. Methods: 1,112 healthy military males, aged 18-40 years (mean age, 32 years), in Taiwan were included for the current analysis. Resting blood pressures were measured over the right upper arm in a sitting position every two years from 2012 to 2018 (2012-14, 2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-18). Long-term BPV by Standard Deviation (SDSBP and SDDBP) and Average Real Variability (ARVSBP and ARVDBP) were assessed across 4 visits during the study period. Aerobic fitness was evaluated by the time taken for a 3000-meter run test, and anaerobic fitness was evaluated by the number of 2-minute sit-ups and 2-minute push-ups. Results: After adjusting the systolic and diastolic blood pressure, the time for a 3000-meter run was associated with ARVSBP, SDSBP, and SDDBP (β [SE]: 0.007 [0.002], 0.004 [0.002], and 0.005 [0.002], respectively, all p <0.05) but not with ARVDBP. In addition, the number of 2-minute sit-ups was inversely associated with ARVSBP (β [SE]: -0.041 [0.017], p =0.01) but not with ARVDBP, SDSBP, and SDDBP. There was no association of the number of 2-minute push-ups with the BPV indexes. After additionally adjusting the age, body mass index, and other covariates, all the associations were found to be not significant. Conclusion: It was found that there was no association of physical fitness with long-term BPV in young male military personnel. Previous studies have shown no association with cardiorespiratory fitness in the elderly. This study further increased the knowledge of a null association between anaerobic fitness and long-term BPV.

This study aims to verify the efficacy of exercise programs designed to prevent and treat hypertension-induced cardiovascular disease (CVD) by analyzing the effects of a 6-month active aerobic exercise program, administered to prehypertensive elderly women, on reducing the risk of developing CVD by enhancing their physical fitness level and improving the detailed markers of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and inflammatory markers. We assigned the elderly women (≥65 years) recruited into normal blood pressure (120–129/80–84; NBP, n = 18) and high-normal blood pressure (130–139/85–89; HNBP, n = 12) groups according to the European guidelines for the management of arterial hypertension. The exercise program was made up of combined workouts of elastic band resistance exercise and aerobics with dance music. The program took place three times a week for six months, with each session lasting 60 min. We measured pre- and post-intervention body composition, blood pressure, physical fitness level, blood lipids profile, HDL-C, SAA, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-4, IL-15, CRP, and HSP70 and calculated the Framingham risk scores for comparison. A significant post-intervention reduction in the mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) was observed in the HNBP group (p < 0.001), with significant increase in HDL-C (p < 0.01) and significant decrease in serum amyloid A (SAA) concentration (p < 0.01). A significant improvement in physical fitness factors such as physical efficiency index (PEI) was also observed in the HNBP group (p < 0.05). The post-intervention TNF-α, IL-6, and SAA concentrations were more significantly lower in the HNBP than in the NBP group (p < 0.05). Compared to the baseline values, a significant decrease in SAA concentration (p < 0.01) and significant increase in HSP70 concentration (p < 0.001) were observed in the HNBP group. The HNBP group’s 10-year CVD risk was also significantly reduced (p < 0.05). The pre–post differences in SBP and DBP were significantly correlated with those in the anti-inflammatory markers IL-4 and IL-15 (p < 0.01). In conclusion, the 6-month active aerobic exercise program of moderate intensity administered to prehypertensive elderly women (≥65 years) had the effect of reducing the 10-year CVD risk through a substantial reduction in SBP, overall physical fitness improvement, increase in HDL-C, decrease in SAA concentration, and substantial decrease in inflammatory biomarkers. It was also confirmed that an increase in anti-inflammatory markers, which showed a small range of increase with respect to the decrease in blood pressure, may have a major effect.

Aim. The article aims to identify the effect of regular physical activity of medium and high intensity on the functional status of 5–6 and 6–7-year-old children. Materials and methods. The study involved children assigned for health reasons to the main medical group. A set of indicators characterizing the physiological, psychological, and behavioral aspects of the functional status was used. The experimental programs differed in the intensity of physical exercises. Results. Training programs based on high-intensity physical exercises contributed to a significant improvement in the functional status of the body, autonomic supply, physical performance and physical fitness compared to medium-intensity training programs. Comparison of functional indicators in children revealed that in 5–6-year-old children the level of general activation both in a state of calm wakefulness and under information loads at all stages of the study was higher than in 6–7-year-old children, while physical performance and motor fitness, on the contrary, were lower. Conclusion. The obtained results provide the evidence that 5–6 and 6–7-year-old children making physical exercises of high intensity performed better than those who had exercises of medium intensity as resulted from the degree of positive changes in functional indicators.

En el presente trabajo analizamos la función social de la Educación Física y el deporte respecto a las personas mayores. Se trata de una relación mediatizada por las representaciones sociales que los agentes implicados poseen sobre la vejez, el cuerpo, la salud y el deporte, no exentas de estereotipos y prejuicios que condicionan sus prácticas sociales. Constituye un problema social y a la vez un reto para las instituciones erradicar las prácticas sociales de exclusión a que dan lugar. Para ello resultan imprescindibles dos pasos. En primer lugar denunciar los contenidos de las representaciones sociales sobre la vejez y las actividades físico-deportivas que favorecen la exclusión social, especialmente desde el Sistema Educativo y los medios de comunicación. En segundo lugar promover los medios materiales y condiciones estructurales necesarias para el cambio social.Palabra clave: Vejez, deporte, educación física, representación social, función social.Abstract: In the present work we analyzed the social function of the Physical Education and the sport with respect to the elderly people. One is a relation hyped by the social representations that the implied agents own on the old age, the body, the health and the sport, nonfree of stereotypes and prejudices that condition their social practices. It constitutes a social problem and simultaneously a challenge for institutions to eradicate the social practices of exclusion to that they give rise. For it two steps are essential. In the first place to denounce the contents of the social representations on the sport old age and activities physical that favor the social exclusion, especially from the Educative System and mass media. Secondly to promote the average materials and necessary structural conditions for the social change.Key words: Old age, sport, physical education, social representation, social function.

Physical activity is one of the most important element of a healthy lifestyle and determinant of the physical and mental health. According to the WHO, limited physical activity is the fourth most common premature deaths risk factor in the world. Regular sport and active recreation is very important for our health. Physical exercise is the most effective method used by physiotherapists to prevent and slow down the aging process of the body, and consequently, diseases of elderly, such as: osteoporosis, injuries caused by falls, diabetes or hypertension. Physical activity has a positive effect on the quality of life and cognitive functions of elderly. People over 65 years constitute about 40-50% of people who require specialist medical care in the world. Therefore, health and medical professionals dealing with preventive healthcare and treatment of elderly people should have basic knowledge in geriatric rehabilitation, as well as to be able to plan suitable physiotherapy program adequate to the needs of older people. To assess the functional status of the patient, as well as the effectiveness of the training, various types of functional tests are used, specially designed for the elderly. These tests are based on the Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (COG) considering the state of health, physical and mental fitness as well as socio-environmental conditions. The physiotherapeutic program should be based on functional training involving the entire human body, i.e. nervous, muscular, skeletal, sensory and balance systems.
