Impact of suplementation vitamins d, c and k on osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a skeleton disease characterized by a decrease in bone mass, disturbance of their microarchitecture and reduction of bone mineral density (BMD). Decreased bone quality is manifested by a higher risk of fractures, but bone pain and lowering of growth may occur earlier, although osteoporosis may occur asymptomatically before the fracture occurs. It is a disease of older people, affects 25 to 30% of postmenopausal women, while morbidity among men over 50 is around 8%. Bone tissue is subject to continuous remodeling as a result of resorption processes (release of minerals from the tissue) regulated by osteoclast activity and bone matrix construction by absorption of mineral components to maintain quality and bone mass resistance. In this study attention will be focused on the impact of vitamin supplementation on the development of osteoporosi

The importance of physical activity in obesity

Obesity is the result of an excessive supply of energy in relation to the body's needs. The etiological factors include environmental factors, genetic factors, sedentary lifestyle, avoiding physical activity, stress or eating excessive amounts of fat. It is estimated that the problem concerns almost 60 million Europeans. Obesity is associated with the possibility of many health complications, including hypertension, carbohydrate disorders, insulin resistance and cancers. Treatment of obesity is a long-term process that needs to be started by finding the main cause, by choosing the right diet, pharmacology, and psychotherapy for rehabilitation. The essence of the fight against obesity is physical activity, which in addition to reducing weight and improving the appearance of other results, such as: strengthening the osteoarticular system, improving the lipid profile, increasing efficiency and physical fitness and improving the mental state. Typical training used in the treatment of obesity are general exercises, characterized by medium or low intensity, effective use of oxygen by working muscles, mobilization of large muscle groups working alternately during exercise, cyclicity and the possibility of long-term exercise without breaks. The features of general fitness exercises include, among others: Nordic walking, walking, cycling, swimming and water exercises, aerobics, dancing and much more

Biological effects of cold and its use in sport

Using the cold properly can have many health benefits. The impact of cold on the human body is multidimensional and affects various systems and organs. Cold has found its application in medicine, sport, biological regeneration and physical recreation in the form of cold baths

Nutrition practice during ultramarathon running in theory and reality

The article presents the theory of nutrition during extreme efforts as are races on ultramarathon distances. It shortly depicts processes and mechanisms taking place in human body in order to replenish energy reserves needed to complete the race and presents theoretically optimal nutrition plan for a sample runner. It mentions potential health issues waiting for athletes hindering, and sometimes making it impossible to complete the run. Finally it compares the theory with reality, showing nutrition plans used by elite athletes during competitions

The rehabilitation in carpal tunnel syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a neuropathy of the upper limb. It occurs in the wrist. To present the different physiotherapeutic methods for the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome. Physiotherapeutic methods can be divided into methods of kinesitherapy and physiotherapy. Techniques include kinesiotherapeutic neuromobilization, taping rehabilitation. While the physiotherapy: sonotherapy, laser and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. The effectiveness of these treatments in the carpal tunnel syndrome has been supported by research

Possibilities of using Nordic walking training in cardiac rehabilitation

Cardiac rehabilitation means that cardiac rehabilitation should be considered as multidirectional and comprehensive activities, considering human health in a holistic approach. Cardiac rehabilitation should be implemented as soon as possible, immediately after the end of life-threatening conditions in the course of coronary events or the direct effects of invasive treatment. Many scientific studies indicate the effectiveness of Nordic Walking training in cardiac rehabilitation. It has the benefits of increasing exercise tolerance and oxygen uptake, and improves quality of life. Patients willingly choose this type of activity and tolerate it well, moreover, it is a generally available form of activity that can be practiced anytime and anywhere. This training can be recommended to a wide group of patients both as prevention and as a form of rehabilitation

Effect of different types of intermittent fasting on biochemical and anthropometric parameters among patients with metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD)—A systematic review

Publisher Copyright: © 2021 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), previously called non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), is the most common chronic liver disease worldwide. It is characterised by excessive fat accumulation in hepatocytes. Currently, no pharmacological therapy is effective for this disease, so non-pharmacological alternatives such as diet, supplementation or physical activity are being sought. For this reason, we reviewed the available databases to analyse the studies con-ducted to date using different modifications of intermittent fasting among patients with MAFLD. Eight studies using this dietary strategy were included in this review. The results obtained in the different trials are varied and do not allow a clear determination of the effect of the different types of intermittent fasting on anthropometric and biochemical parameters among patients with MAFLD. However, this type of diet seems to show some therapeutic potential, but further studies are needed.publishersversionPeer reviewe

Diagnostics of lateral support syndrome of the patellofemoral joint

The lateral support syndrome of the patella and thigh joint is classified as a kind of dysplasia of this joint. The causes may be a muscular balance disorder, congenital abnormalities in the locomotor system or posture defects. Lateral support syndrome is most easily diagnosed through physical and subjective examination of the patient, while imaging is the best method to determine the exact type and scale of the abnormality

Conservative and surgical treatment and possible complications of lateral support syndrome of the patellofemoral joint

The knee joint is the largest joint in the human body. At the same time, it is most sensitive to various diseases, often leading to the destruction of anatomical structures, disruption of static and dynamic functions. The authors of the article conducted a literary search on the methods of treatment of the syndrome of lateral support of the patellar-hip joint. In the case of lateral support syndrome of the patella and thigh joint, conservative treatment should be implemented first. Properly selected physiotherapeutic methods allow to reduce pain and avoid surgery. Surgical treatment should be the final choice, as it is associated with the possibility of complications that will delay the patient's recovery

Psychomotor hyperactivity in children

Psychomotor hyperactivity syndrome with attention deficit disorders is a neurodevelopmental disorder, which is manifested by excessive mobility and impulsivity preventing normal functioning in society. This leads to deconcentration during the basic activities of everyday life. The first symptoms of the disease may appear in the early pre-school period of childhood, but they may not be sufficiently noticeable yet. The severity of symptoms may depend on the situation and may evolve with the age of the child. The etiology of the disease is not clear, which makes it elusive to identify the cause. However, we know that ADHD affects three times more boys than girls. There is a concept that statistics on increased male morbidity may be due to inheritance, as the female sex is the carrier of the gene responsible for the occurrence of hyperactivity. The aim of this paper is to describe the characteristics of hyperkinetic disorder, including symptoms, etiology and some forms of treatment
