Oprócz najbardziej charakterystycznych objawów choroby Parkinsona, należy zwrócić uwagę na towarzyszący im ogromny problem, jakim są upadki.W przypadku pacjentów cierpiących na chorobę Parkinsona nabierają one szczególnego znaczenia, ponieważ choroba zwiększa ryzyko upadków aż 10-krotnie. Celem pracy była analiza przyczyn i konsekwencji upadków u pacjentów z chorobą Parkinsona, należących do Stowarzyszenia Osób Niepełnosprawnych „Akson” w Bydgoszczy.W wyniku przeprowadzonych badań stwierdzono, że główną przyczyną upadków u pacjentów z chorobą Parkinsona są czynniki środowiskowe. Natomiast najczęstszymi konsekwencjami upadków w badanej grupie są: uszkodzenie powłok skórnych, złamanie kości w obrębie nadgarstka, przedramienia, szyjki kości udowej. Na ryzyko upadków wpływa czas trwania choroby Parkinsona oraz wiek chorego. Abstract Parkinson's disease is one of the most common diseases of the central nervous system. In addition to most characteristic symptoms of Parkinson's disease, you should pay attention to the accompanying huge problem, which they are falling.In patients suffering from Parkinson's disease and also important, because the disease increases the risk of falls to 10-fold. The aim of the study was to analyze the causes and consequences of falls in patients with Parkinson's disease, belonging to the Association of People with Disabilities "Axon" in Bydgoszcz.The results showed that the main cause of falls in patients with Parkinson's disease are environmental factors. In contrast, the most common consequences of falls in the study group are: skin lacerations, fractures within the wrist, forearm, hip fractures. At the risk of falls affected by Parkinson's disease duration and age of the patient. Słowa kluczowe: upadek; zespół Parkinsona.Keywords: fall; Parkinson syndrome

Evaluation of the quality of life of men undergoing stationary cardiac rehabilitation

The aim of the study is to assess the quality of life of patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation. Evaluation were subjected to 27 men in the Division of Cardiac Rehabilitation Wieżyca in 2014. Stay patients lasted from two to five weeks. The test using the questionnaire evaluating the quality of life of SF-36 was performed twice - at the beginning and end of the cycle rehabilitation.By analyzing and comparing the results between patients we concluded that comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation can significantly raise the performance quality of life in all its aspects. The largest increase in the value of quality of life was reported in the area of physical health. Obesity and smoking was accompanied by a significant part of the study group. On this basis, it can be said that these two risk factors for heart disease also reduce the quality of life of patients. Cardiac rehabilitation can reduce the risk of developing depression due to poor health. The effects of rehabilitation are greatest in patients after heart attacks. It can be presumed that the cause of this phenomenon is the minimally invasive treatment of the acute phase of the disease as compared with other cardiovascular diseases, for example. CABG, the heart valve prosthesis implantation. It has been observed relationship in which younger patients achieved better results in the area of physical health, but older people more has improved mental health. Based on the research it can be stated that a comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation is needed after the improvement of the quality of life of people with heart disease

Short and long-term effects of high-intensity interval training applied alone or with whole-body cryostimulation on glucose homeostasis and myokine levels in overweight to obese subjects.

Background: COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the problem of physical inactivity and weight gain. Consequently, new strategies to counteract weight gain are being sought. Because of their accessibility, interval training and cold therapy are the most popular such strategies. We here aimed to examine the effect of 6 units of high-intensity interval training (HIIT), applied alone or in combination with 10 sessions of whole-body cryotherapy (WBC; 3 min at -110 ∘C per session) on incretins, myokines, and adipokines levels. Materials and methods: The study involved 65 subjects (body mass index of approximately 30 kg•m-2). The subjects were randomly divided into training group (TR; n = 27) and training supported by WBC group (TR-WBC; n = 38). Blood samples were collected before, immediately following, and 4 weeks after the intervention. Results: Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) levels significantly increased (p = 0.03) and adiponectin levels increased in the TR group (p = 0.05) compared with those recorded in TR-WBC group 24 h after the end of experimental protocol. Beneficial changes in the lipid profile (p = 0.07), a significant drop in visfatin levels (p < 0.05), and the improvement in β-cell function (HOMA-B; p = 0.02) were also observed in the TR group in the same time point of study. While TR-WBC did not induce similar changes, it ameliorated blood glucose levels (p = 0.03). Changes induced by both interventions were only sustained for 4 weeks after treatment. Conclusion: Collectively, HIIT, alone and in combination with WBC, positively affects metabolic indicators, albeit, most likely, different mechanisms drive the beneficial effects of different treatments

Słowa kluczowe: Nordic Walking, trening zdrowotny, terapia zajęciowa. Abstract One of the many forms of activity may be physical activity dressed in costume popular in Poland and in the world of Nordic Walking. Another way to stimulate the occupational therapy, which involves the realm of the physical, mental and social man usually less active in general. The objectives of occupational therapy are similar to the general objectives underlying any form of physical activity, and that is the behavior of self-reliance, independence and efficiency. The aim of the study is to analyze different activation programs in relation to the functional capacity of women aged 60+. We analyzed two fundamentally different activation programs seniors: occupational therapy program implemented in the Daily Nursing Home for the Elderly in Gdansk and health training program in the form of Nordic Walking realized within statutory research. The material tested is 48 women over the age of 60, after 24 people training Nordic Walking 3 times a week for 60 minutes, and 24 people participating in occupational therapy. Physical activity is an effective means to maintain physical for a long time, it can also be an effective means of shaping it during aging. Physical activity should begin early. Then you can expect spectacular effects of training, and thus a high physical translates directly to high levels of positive physical health. You can expect to achieve in this area, the leader among his peers. You can go ahead and prepare for old age, efficient, independent and self

Evaluation of exercise tolerance patients in cardiac rehabilitation D model based on 6 Minute Walk Test

Evaluation of the results of 6-minute walk test depending on gender, age, left ventricular ejection fraction, the primary disease and BMI. Patients underwent assessment of Cardiac Rehabilitation Department in Szymbark in 2012 (80 people). Duration of rehabilitation for all patients was 21 days. The test was performed at the beginning and end of the cycle. Following the 3-week cardiac rehabilitation in the model D in a group of 80 patients with a mean age of 72 years achieved a statistically significant improvement in exercise capacity, expressed in the increase in test 6MWT distance by an average of 52 meters. In the study, men received final results statistically superior to women. The largest increase in the distance gained to patients after aortic valve prosthesis. People who are obese with a body mass index BMI over 30 have an average trip distance underperform both at baseline, final, and in the resulting increase of the distance than those with a BMI under 30. Prevention of obesity, one of the modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease should be the goal of training during cardiac rehabilitation patient education

Iron Status in Elderly Women Impacts Myostatin, Adiponectin and Osteocalcin Levels Induced by Nordic Walking Training

Impaired iron metabolism is associated with increased risk of many morbidities. Exercise was shown to have a beneficial role; however, the mechanism is not well understood. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between exerkines and iron metabolism in elderly women before and after 12 weeks of Nordic Walking (NW) training. Exerkines like myostatin, adiponectin, and osteocalcin have been shown to have several positive effects on metabolism. Thirty-six post-menopausal women (66 &plusmn; 5 years old, mean &plusmn; SD) were randomly assigned to a NW intervention group (n = 18; body mass, 68.8 &plusmn; 11.37 kg; fat, 23.43 &plusmn; 7.5 kg; free fat mass, 45.37 &plusmn; 5.92 kg) or a control group (n = 18; body mass, 68.34 &plusmn; 11.81 kg; fat, 23.61 &plusmn; 10.03 kg; free fat mass, 44.73 &plusmn; 3.9 kg). The training was performed three times a week for 12 weeks, with the intensity adjusted to 70% of the individual maximum ability. Before and one day after the 12-weeks intervention, performance indices were assessed using a senior fitness test. Blood samples (5 mL) were obtained from the participants between 7 and 8 AM, following an overnight fast, at baseline and one day immediately after the 12-week training program. A significant and large time &times; group interaction was observed for iron (NW: 98.6 &plusmn; 26.68 to 76.1 &plusmn; 15.31; CON: 100.6 &plusmn; 25.37 to 99.1 &plusmn; 27.2; p = 0.01; &eta; p 2 = 0.21), myostatin (NW: 4.42 &plusmn; 1.97 to 3.83 &plusmn; 1.52; CON: 4.11 &plusmn; 0.95 to 4.84 &plusmn; 1.19; p = 0.00; &eta; p 2 = 0.62), adiponectin (NW: 12.0 &plusmn; 9.46 to 14.6 &plusmn; 10.64; CON: 12.8 &plusmn; 8.99 to 11.9 &plusmn; 8.53; p = 0.00; &eta; p 2 = 0.58), and osteocalcin (NW: 38.9 &plusmn; 26.04 to 41.6 &plusmn; 25.09; CON: 37.1 &plusmn; 33.2 to 37.2 &plusmn; 32.29; p = 0.03; &eta; p 2 = 0.13). Furthermore, we have observed the correlations: basal ferritin levels were inversely correlated with changes in myostatin (r = &minus;0.51, p = 0.05), change in adiponectin, and change in serum iron (r = &minus;0.45, p = 0.05), basal iron, and osteocalcin after training (r = -0.55, p = 0.04). These findings indicate that iron modulates NW training-induced changes in exerkine levels
