Recorded Data

The study deals with the investigation of functional condition of seniors’ muscular system at the age of 60 and more. The research was performed with an intentionally selected file of seniors in which a physical activity was regularly stimulated. The functional condition of muscular apparatus was investigated according to Janda test (2004) and the following motoric changes were evaluated with the help of Friedman test and objective relevance. On the basis of the recorded data in accordance to previous proved findings we can state that an adequate physical intervention has a high importance for adjustment of tested motoric stereotypes, restoring physiological length of tested muscles and muscles with a tendency to shortening, and restoring strength of tested muscles and muscles with tendency to weakening. These findings might support the idea of including physical activity to seniors’ everyday life.

The Impact

Introduction. T e leading place in the structure of occupational morbidity of agricultural machine operators is occupied by vertebroneurological diseases, the development of which can be associated with the impact of ergonomic factors of labor activity. T e aim of the study is to assess the ergonomic factors of working conditions on mobile agricultural machinery and to identify their impact on the formation of health disorders of agricultural machine operators. Materials and methods. Complex physiological and ergonomic researches at operation of tractors and combine harvesters of old samples of domestic production including an assessment of the organization of workplaces on compliance to requirements of ergonomics and anthropometric data of workers, temporary, statodynamic, biomechanical characteristics of working poses and movements, a functional condition of machine operators (130 people aged 20–45 years with professional experience of work not less than three years) in dynamics of a work shift are carried out. Anthropometric studies were conducted among male machine operators (663 people) aged 18–59 years and with experience in the profession for more than three years. Results. The discrepancy between the size and space-layout parameters of workplaces ergonomic requirements and anthropometric data of machine operators, causing the formation of uncomfortable working positions, increasing physical activity and the severity of the labor process. A high degree of correlation between changes in the parameters of the neuromuscular system and the severity of the discrepancy between the ergonomic parameters of anthropometric characteristics of machine operators (r=0,7). T e results of the research allowed to determine the priority measures for the prevention of vertebroneurological diseases in agricultural machine operators. Conclusions. T e organization of workplaces on domestic tractors and combine harvesters of old samples does not meet the ergonomic requirements and anthropometric data of machine operators, which is the reason for the formation of an uncomfortable working posture, increased statodynamic physical activity, early development of fatigue and fatigue in the process, which can cause the development of pathological conditions of the spine and ligamentous apparatus. Ergonomic improvement of workplaces is one of the priority measures to preserve the health of agricultural machine operators.

And Gender

Hemodialysis (HD) patients have lower functional abilities compared to healthy people, and this is associated with lower physical activity in everyday life. This may affect their quality of life, but research on this topic is limited. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the relationship between habitual physical activity and quality of life in HD patients and healthy controls. Ninety-three HD patients and 140 controls participated in the study. Quality of life was assessed using a 36-item medical outcomes study short-form health survey (SF-36). Human Activity Profile (HAP) was used to assess habitual physical activity. The adjusted activity score (AAS) from HAP, age, gender, fat tissue index (FTI), lean tissue index (LTI), and Davies comorbidity score were analyzed as possible predictors of the Physical Component Summary (PCS) of the SF-36. Three sequential linear models were used to model PCS. In Model 1, PCS was regressed by gender and age; in Model 2 the LTI, FTI, and Davies comorbidity scores were added. Model 3 also included AAS. After controlling for age and gender (ModelHD 1: p = 0.056), LTI, FTI, and Davies comorbidity score effects (ModelHD 2: p = 0.181), the AAS accounted for 32% of the variation in PCS of HD patients (ModelHD 3: p < 0.001). Consequently, the PCS of HD patients would increase by 0.431 points if the AAS increased by one point. However, in healthy controls, AAS had a lower impact than in the HD sample (B = 0.359 vs. 0.431), while the corresponding effects of age and gender (ModelH 1: p < 0.001), LTI, FTI, and Davies comorbidity score (ModelH 2: p < 0.001) were adjusted for. The proportion of variation in PCS attributed to AAS was 14.9% (ModelH 3: p < 0.001). The current study results showed that physical activity in everyday life as measured by the HAP questionnaire is associated to a higher degree with the quality of life of HD patients than in healthy subjects. Routine physical activity programs are therefore highly justified, and the nephrology community should play a leading role in this effort.

High Intensity Interval

Epidemiological surveys reflect a negative trend in functional indicators for children’s physical health. In recent surveys it is experimentally proved that unlike other methods of training, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) produces prevailing positive effect onto the indicators of physical and functional condition of children with poor health. However, the review of studies suggests that the stated idea turns to be controversial. There is the evidence of possible negative effects of intense physical activity due to the low level biological reliability of adaptation mechanisms and other anatomical and physiological characteristics of children. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a scientifically based conceptual model of timeline for children’s health training in which the central health impetus will be HIIT.

Physical activity is currently one of the most important components of health and longevity. Our environment has changed significantly lately. Technological progress is growing very fast. The technology around us shows us comfort. All these factors significantly reduce the level of physical activity in everyday life. This increases the level of noncommunicable diseases, which significantly reduce the quality of life and life expectancy of people around the world. All that we need, with such a significant decline in our health is physical exercise. The aim of the study is to study the trends in the level of physical activity in the world and among medical students during training. To achieve these goals, an information-analytical analysis of the level of physical activity in the world was carried out, as well as data on the level of physical activity of students were analyzed. The article provides literature data on the quantitative and qualitative composition of physical activity in everyday life, individual data on the level of physical activity of medical students. Weekly physical activity was from 31.7% to 35.1% at different periods of study. At the same time, the absence or low level of physical activity was noted among third-year students - 62.5% and 40.5% (p <0.05) in the fifth year of study. With these positive changes in the student learning process, it was found that from 20.6% to 24.3% of students spend less than two hours a day communicating on social networks. All the rest spend much more time on this type of communication. It was found that the level of physical activity is very low. To achieve the normative level of physical activity, which has a direct relationship with health, It is necessary to increase public awareness on the importance of physical activity and its impact on health, as well as to recommend a reduction in student’s time management, and to provide them with the opportunity to participate in sporting activities.

Abstract Objectives To investigate patient-perceived facilitators and barriers to home-based rehabilitation exercise and general physical activity after THA. Design Using a qualitative design, twenty-two semi-structured interviews were conducted and analyzed using an interpretive thematic analysis approach, with theoretical underpinning from the concept conduct of everyday life. The study is embedded within the PHETHAS-1 trial, quantitatively investigating recovery outcomes after a home-based rehabilitation exercise program. Setting A regional hospital in Denmark between January 2018 and May 2019. Participants Twenty-two patients who had undergone THA and performed home-based rehabilitation exercise. Results The main theme Wishing to return to the well-known everyday life and the subtheme General physical activity versus rehabilitation exercise were identified. Generally, the participants found the home-based rehabilitation exercise boring but were motivated by the goal of returning to their habitual conduct of everyday life and perform their usual general physical activities. Participants enrolled in the PHETHAS-1 study used the enrollment as part of their motivation for doing the exercises. Both pain and no pain were identified as barriers for doing the home-based rehabilitation exercise. Pain could cause insecurity while no pain could cause the rehabilitation exercise to be perceived as pointless. Conclusions The overall goal for the THA patients was to return to their habitual everyday life. This goal served as a facilitator for undertaking home-based rehabilitation exercise. Being able to perform their usual activities paradoxically became a barrier for some of the participants, as they were more motivated towards general physical activity than the rehabilitation exercise.
