The aim of the research was to analyze the correlation between the anthropometric features and postural reactions in children with scoliosis and scoliotic posture. Material and method. The study included 28 girls aged 7-18 years old with scoliosis and scoliotic posture. Respondents were selected intentionally. Children attended to the Interschool Centre of Corrective Exercises in Starachowice. Height measurements were made by anthropometer, and the measurement of body weight was made with electronic scale. Those reactions were examined by static-dynamic Tecnobody’s ST 310 Plus Stability System platform. Variables were verified in terms of normal distribution by Shapiro-Wilk test. Depending on the compatibility of variable distributions with normal distribution, and the value of skewness and kurtosis, parametric or non-parametric tests have been used. To determine the correlation between the anthropometric variables and postural reactions the Spearman's rank correlation coefficient has been used. The level of significance was p <0,05. Conclusions. In Romberg’s test with opened eyes (OE), there were no significant correlations between the anthropometric variables and postural reactions. However, in the study with eyes closed (CE), there were significant, inversely proportional correlations between the body height and FBSD, and between the body height and AFBS. Inversely proportional correlations are understandable, because a higher children are generally slightly older, and together with age in children has been observed the reduction of postural reactions (better balance). Analysis of relationships between BMI and postural reactions with eyes closed (CE) showed a significant directly proportional correlations only with Abs AY. Higher values of BMI corresponds to the higher values of Abs AY. Key words: anthropometric features, body posture, scoliosis, scoliotic posture. STRESZCZENIE Wstęp. Celem badań była analiza korelacji między cechami antropometrycznymi a reakcjami posturalnymi u dzieci ze skoliozą i postawą skoliotyczną. Materiał i metoda. Badaniami objęto 28 dziewcząt w wieku 7-18 lat ze skoliozą i postawą skoliotyczną. Do­bór badanych był celowy. Dzieci zapisane były do Międzyszkolnego Ośrodka Gimnastyki Korekcyjnej i Kompensacyjnej w Starachowicach. Pomiary wysokościowe wykonano antropometrem a pomiar masy ciała wagą elektroniczną. Reakcje te badano statyczno-dynamiczną platformą ST 310 Plus Stability System firmy Tecnobody. Zmienne zweryfikowano pod względem normalności rozkładu testem Shapiro-Wilka. W zależności od zgodności rozkładów zmiennych z rozkładem normalnym, oraz wartości skośności i kurtozy, stosowano testy parametryczne lub nieparametryczne. Do określenia korelacji między zmiennymi antropometrycznymi a reakcjami posturalnymi zastosowano współczynnik korelacji rang Spearmana. Jako poziom istotności przy­jęto p<0,05. Wnioski. W teście Romberga z oczami otwartymi (OE) nie wystąpiły istotne korelacje między zmiennymi antropometrycznymi a reakcjami posturalnymi. Natomiast w badaniu z oczami zamkniętymi (CE) wystąpiły istotne odwrotnie proporcjonalne korelacje między wysokością ciała a FBSD oraz między wysokością ciała a AFBS. Korelacje odwrotnie proporcjonalne są zrozumiałe, gdyż wyższe dzieci są ogół nieco starsze a wraz z wiekiem u dzieci obserwuje się obniżanie reakcji posturalnych (lepszą równowagę). Analiza związków między BMI a reakcjami posturalnymi z oczami zamkniętymi (CE) wykazała istotne wprost proporcjonalne korelacje jedynie z Abs AY. Wyższym wartościom BMI odpowiadają wyższe wartości Abs AY. Słowa kluczowe: cechy antropometryczne, postawa ciała, skolioza, postawa skoliotyczna

Body composition and SEMG amplitude of the spine rectifier in children with scoliotic lesions

The aim of the study was to analyze the relationship between body composition and the amplitude of SEMG rectifier spine in children with scoliotic changes. The spine was investigated using optoelectronic Diers formetric III 4D. Body composition was determined using a Tanita Body Composition Analyzer MC 780M. Analysis of the amplitude SEMG rectifier spine was performed using a 12-channel camera Noraxon TeleMyo DTS. The biggest differences in the absolute values of the studied variables related to body composition BMR (kJ). The most important and statistically significant predictors mock for the variable composition of the body spine and amplitude rectifier tested in different positions in the group of scoliosis proved standing position lumbar left (p = 0.01), standing position lumbar right (p = 0.01) and lying front right side of the thoracic (p = 0, 02). The variance explained by the independent variables in the model adopted is 35% of the total variation (R^2 = 0.35), indicating a small adjustment for the data, but the expected level of statistical significance (p = 0.01) has been fulfilled, and to give the corresponding the value of a statistical test F = 3.49. The group scoliotic bases most important and statistically significant predictor model was the torso up right thoracic (p = 0.0001), lower limbs up the right side of the lumbar (p = 0.044), trunk up the right side of the lumbar (p = 0.016) and the top of the torso thoracic left (p = 0.006). The model was explained only in 39% (R^2 = 0.39), which is low, but the target level of statistical significance (p = 0.001) was also satisfied. and give the corresponding value of the statistical test F = 4.89. In children with scoliotic changes SEMG amplitude measurement helps identify the muscles need strengthening or relaxation, as well as the selection of appropriate corrective exercises

Anthropometric variables and body composition and SEMG frequency of the spine rectifier in children with scoliosis and scoliotic posture

The purpose of the research was the analysis of the relationship between the anthropometric variables and body composition and frequency of SEMG rectifier of the spine in children with scoliosis and scoliotic attitude. Backbone has been examined by optoelectronic Diers formetric III 4 d. The method photogrammetric video recording of back surface through a process image stereography. Body composition was determined by using the TANITA body composition Analyzer MC 780 m. Analysis of the electromyographical of the spine extensors was performed with the help of 12 channel camera Noraxon TeleMyo DTS. Spine examination method Diers formetric III 4 d has shown in 103 (41%) of children scoliosis. The attitude of scoliotic diagnosed with 141 (56.17%) children. With the correct attitude was 7 (3.0%) children. The most important and significant statistically predictors for model's anthropometric variables, body composition and the frequency of the charger back test in different positions within the Group of scoliosis were the variables BMI (p = 0.01) and percent fat (%) (p = 0.03). Variance explained by the independent variables in the model adopted is 40% of the total variation (R ^ 2 = 0.40), indicating a small adjustment to the data, however, anticipated the level of statistical significance (p = 0.001) have been met, and also received good the value of the test statistic F = 3.33. In the group the basics of scoliotic the mass of fat (p = 0.01). The model was explained only in 26% (R ^ 2 = 0.26), which is low, but anticipated the level of statistical significance (p = 0.01) was also met, and also received the appropriate statistical test value F = 5.10. She has a substantial dependency between certain variables to the anthropometric and body composition and frequency of SEMG rectifier of the spine in children with scoliosis and scoliotic attitude

Regression models in the assessment of the relationship between body posture in the sagittal plane and SEMG of the spine rectifier in children at a younger school age

The aim of the study was to create regression models for the analysis of the relationship between posture defects in the sagittal plane and SEMG of the spine rectifier in children with scoliotic lesions. The shape of the spine was assessed using the optoelectronic method Diers formetric III 4D. The SEMG analysis was performed using the Noraxon TeleMyo DTS 12 channel camera. The research was carried out in 2017 at the Posturology Laboratory at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences of UJK in Kielce. The most important and statistically significant predictor of the body posture in the sagittal plane and the frequency of the ridge extensor examined in various positions in the group of scoliotic postures turned out to be the variable lower limb up the right breast segment (p = 0.01). In the case of the SEMG amplitude, the most important and statistically significant predictors in the group of scoliotic attitudes turned out to be variable lower limbs upward lumbar segment right side (p = 0.02) and standing position lumbar segment left side (p = 0.03). The SEMG test enables the control of muscle balance and allows to avoid the improper deepening of muscle asymmetry, resulting in the stimulation of disturbing forces

SEMG amplitude of the erector spinae in children with scoliotic lesions

The aim of the study was to analyze the amplitude of SEMG rectifier spine in children with scoliotic changes. SEMG amplitude rectifier back of the camera has been studied Noraxon TeleMyo DTS. The shape of the spine was estimated optoelectronic method Diers formetric III 4D. The research was Carried out in the Posturology Laboratory at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, UJK in Kielce (Poland). In the group of children with scoliosis curvature of the most frequently occurred on the location of the rib. In girls, it represented (62%) in boys (56%). Univariate analysis of variance showed significant differences among boys in intra-amplitude measurements SEMG variable lower limbs up the left side of the lumbar. Means, that the value of the amplitude distribution SEMG rectifier ridge in the study of lower limbs up the left side of the lumbar differed significantly between the groups scoliotic attitudes, scoliosis and normal. The amplitude of SEMG rectifier ridge in the study of lower limbs up the lumbar left was the lowest in the group of scoliosis. Due to the fact that a group of boys with scoliosis had most of the left-hand direction of curvature in the lumbar region, we can conclude that the greater the amplitude of SEMG rectifier occurred at the back of the concave side of the curvature of the lumbar spine

Overview of Metabolism and Bioavailability Enhancement of Polyphenols

A proper diet is one of major factors contributing to good health and is directly related to general condition of the organism. Phenolic compounds are abundant in foods and beverages (fresh and processed fruits and vegetables, leguminous plants, cereals, herbs, spices, tea, coffee, wine, beer) and their pleiotropic biological activities result in numerous health beneficial effects. On the other hand, high reactivity and very large diversity in terms of structure and molecular weight renders polyphenols one of the most difficult groups of compounds to investigate, as evidenced by ambiguous and sometimes contradictory results of many studies. Furthermore, phenolics undergo metabolic transformations, which significantly change their biological activities. Here, we discuss some aspects of metabolism and absorption of phenolic compounds. On the basis of information reported in the literature as well as in summaries of clinical trials and patent applications, we also give an overview of strategies for enhancing their bioavailability
