W badaniach wzięło udział 21 piłkarzy nożnych, w wieku od 16 do 17 roku życia (średnia 16,8 lat). Przed zastosowaniem elementów masażu głębokiego każdy z zawodników został poddany badaniu termowizyjnemu i izokinetycznemu. Po przeprowadzeniu pierwszej części badań u każdego piłkarza mięsień czworogłowy uda został poddany 10 minutowemu głębokiemu rozcieraniu. Po wykonanej pracy kończyny dolne zostały poddane analizie termowizyjnej przy pomocy specjalnej kamery. Następnie badani ponownie wzięli udział w badaniu na stanowisku do badań izokinetycznych Biodex System 4, przy prędkości 60 o/s i 180 o/s.Na podstawie przeprowadzonych badań wykazano, że zastosowanie elementów masażu głębokiego ma pozytywy wpływ na narząd ruchu piłkarzy nożnych. Zastosowanie masażu wpływa na istotny wzrost temperatury powierzchniowej kończyn dolnych zarówno w rejonie przednim jak i tylnym. W badaniach izokinetycznych wykazano istotny wzrost parametrów prędkościowo – siłowych przy prędkości 180 o/s. Przy prędkości 60 o/s   istotnego wzrostu nie zaobserwowano. Wyniki przeprowadzonych badań potwierdzają zdrowotny wpływ masażu głębokiego. ABSTRACTThe aim of the thesis was to assess the changes in force – velocity parameters generated by quadriceps femoris and to assess the changes in lower limb’s surface temperature as a result of deep tissue massage application. The study involved 21 soccer players  in age of 16 to 17 years (mean 16,8 years). Before using deep tissue massage elements, each of players has been tested in thermography and isokinetic research. After the first part of this study each player’s quadriceps femoris was subjected to 10- minutes deep grinding. After application of deep tissue massage elements lower limbs were analyzed once again using a special thermal imaging camera. Then, again the subjects took part in the isokinetic test on Biodex System 4 with 60 deg/s and 180 deg/s speed.On the grounds of the conducted studies it has been shown that deep tissue massage application has positive effects on footballer’s motor system. Massage application cause a significant increase of the lower limb’s surface temperature in area of the front as well as rear part. Isokinetic studies have been shown a significant increase in force – velocity parameters at a speed of 180 deg/s. At 60 deg/s significant increase was not observed. Results of this study confirm the health impact of deep tissue massage. Słowa kluczowe: masaż, piłkarze nożni, termografia, badania izokinetyczne.Key words: massage, soccer players, thermography, isokinetic research

Effect of Core Stabilizing Training on Young Individuals Presenting Different Stages of Degenerative Disc Disease—Preliminary Report

The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of stabilizing training for the deep core muscles of the lumbar spine in subjects with degenerative disc disease. This study was conducted on 38 participants. The participants were divided into two groups: the extrusion group (EXT, n = 17) and the protrusion group (PRO, n = 21). All the subjects underwent a four-week-long core stability exercise-based treatment (five sessions/week). Clinical outcome measures were assessed pre-intervention (pre), post-intervention (post) and four weeks after the intervention (follow-up). The primary outcome measures were the spinal range of motion (ROM; Spinal Mouse® device) and the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). In the PRO group, the ROM decreased from 88.52° pre-intervention to 83.33° post-intervention and to 82.82° at follow-up (p = 0.01), while the ODI decreased from 16.14 points pre-intervention to 6.57 points post-intervention, with 9.42 points at follow-up (p < 0.01). In the EXT group, the ROM decreased from 81.00° pre-intervention to 77.05° post-intervention, then increased to 77.94° at follow-up (p = 0.03), while the ODI decreased from 22.58 points pre-intervention to 15.41 points post-intervention and to 14.70 points at follow-up (p < 0.001). Although the stabilizing exercise sessions improved the clinical outcomes in each group, we cannot make conclusions as to whether the type of intervertebral disc damage significantly affects the results of stabilizing exercise-based treatment

The Device for Intervertebral Assisted Motion (DIAM™) is a method that has been recently applied for the operative treatment of low back pain. The aim of this study was to assess the quality of life in patients with low back pain during the course of a single-level discopathy performed using the DIAM™ system, who previously had not undergone any surgical procedure within the lumbar spine. Methods. The study group consisted of 23 selected patients (15 women and 8 men) with a mean age of 47 years. All subjects underwent single-level fenestration with discectomy and DIAM™ system implantation. The level of pain and disability at rest and movement were evaluated at baseline (pre-surgery) and at 6 months after surgery. All patients underwent a post-operative rehabilitation programme. Patients were evaluated using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) –pain’s level at rest and movement, a modified Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and the Melzack Pain Questionnaire (MPQ). Results. Pain’s level reduction was observed in 78% of patients at rest and in 88% of patients at movement. 79% of patients presented an improvement in their ODI score, but disability still persisted in pain intensity and during lifting. All MPQ indicators also improved, but mostly in the psychological dimensions of pain. Conclusions. It was found that during the 6 months following a single-level DIAM™ implantation a greater decrease in pain at rest than at movement was recorded.   Key words: quality of life, DIAMTM, spinal stabilizatio
