Background: In 2019 severe acute respiratory syndrome by corona virus 2 emanated at Wuhan, China and causes Corona Virus Disease-2019 (COVID-19).This global pandemic has put our world upside down and almost unprecedented global public health and economic crisis. The main mode of transmission was contact and droplet of inhaled 2019-n Co V. This virus is transmitted through respiratory secretions with 2019n CoV. Large droplets from coughing, sneezing or a runny nose land on surfaces within two meters of the infected person. Many countries have a complete lock down, which most probably prevents participation in a regular rehabilitation program in outpatient centers and/or delivery of in-home physical therapy or other face-to-face treatment by primary care healthcare professionals with COVID-19 survivors in need for rehabilitative interventions. Recent studies show that being active during adulthood decreases systematic inflammation, an underlying factor in multiple chronic diseases. The anti-inflammatory impact of daily physical activity helps in lowering C-reactive protein, total blood leukocytes interleukin-6 and other inflammatory cytokines that may play a role in decreasing certain types of cancer, type two diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, sarcopenia and dementia. Aim: Aim of this knowledge practically helps us to counteract the consequences of increased physical inactivity and sedentary lifestyle during the lock-down period thereby lowering cardiovascular diseases and other commodities. Method: A literature search was done in electronic database using the key words exercise, physical activity, immunity, COVID 19 on 6 Jun 2020. Result: In a decennium, a lot of evaluation has substantiated the benefits of health related to regular physical activity. The normal functioning of the immune system is boosted with regular exercise. The antiinflammatory influence of regular exercise is examined through various pathways; it functions as an immune system adjuvant, which improves defense reaction and metabolism. Conclusion: Proper physical activity helps in decreasing the need of critical care that directs us to hospital re-admission. Early mobilization and re-engagement in physical activity is important in the prevention of systemic consequences of a critical care and hospital admission. Patients should workout in proportion to their functional status.

Background of the study: Stroke is defined by the national institute of neurological disorders and stroke as sudden loss of neurological function resulting from an interference with blood supply to the brain. This study aims to know the effects of very early mobilization on motor recovery following acute stroke. Methodology: The study was conducted among 40 subjects with acute stroke patient, with modified Rankin scale (MRS) ≥2. The subjects were randomly assigned into two groups equally. Group A (n=20) were given early mobilization which included motor recovery training for 30 minutes and twice in a day within 24-48hours of hospital admission. Group B (n=20) were also given motor recovery training for 30 minutes, twice in a day but only after 72hours of hospital admission. It was done for 6 weeks. Modified Rankin scale, Motor Assessment scale and National institute of health stroke scale pre score was obtained before the intervention and post score after 6 weeks of intervention for both the groups. Results: The statistical analysis shows that t-value is 1.286 and pvalue is 0.206 for modified Rankin scale p>0.05 is statistically not significant. For motor assessment scale t-value is 3.760 and p-value is0.001 hence p< 0.05 it is statistically significant. According to statistical analysis of NIHSS score t-value is 0.931 and p-value is 0.358 with p> 0.05 which is statistically not significant. Conclusion: There was no significant difference between very early mobilization and mobilization after 72 hours. Sothe study concluded that there may not be helpfulon early mobilization for motor recovery in patient with acute stroke.

Background of the study: Overweight is more body fat than optimally healthy individuals, overweight is common where food supplies are plentiful and life style is sedentary. Plyometric is designed to enhance muscular power and explosiveness. The word aerobic meaning exercise with oxygen, high intensity aerobic exercise can help on control weight and reduce stress. Objective of the study was to find the effect of plyometric exercise and high intensity aerobic exercise and also to compare the effect between the exercises among overweight college students. Methodology: This was a comparative study with quasi experimental design. The subjects were divided into two equal groups, 15 samples in Group A and Group B by convenient sample method. Group A received high intensity aerobics like jogging, burpees, mountain climber exercise, squat with side step, wall push ups, where Group B received plyometric exercises like squat jack, skater jump, jumping side lunge, rock star jump and high knees. Both exercises were given for three sessions in a week. Inclusion criteria include BMI of 25-30 and above, both male and female college students of aged 18-23 years. The measurement tool used was Body Mass Index and Waist Circumference. Result: The result showed a decrease in BMI and waist circumference in both the groups. But the weight reduction was more in Group A when compared to the Group B with p >0.000. Conclusion: The study concluded that high intensity aerobic exercise decreases the BMI and waist circumference effectively among overweight college students when compared to the plyometric exercises.

Introduction : Text neck syndrome refers to overuse syndrome or repetitive stress injury, in which you have your head hung forward or down looking at your mobile or any other electronic device for a longer period of time. This eventually leads to tightness of the shoulder muscles and soreness in the neck muscles or even chronic headaches. The purpose of this study was to find out the prevalence of text neck syndrome in young adult population using Neck Disability Index (NDI) questionnaire. Methodology : A cross sectional study was conducted among 100 Physiotherapy students of the age group from 18 to 25 years from D.Y. Patil University, Navi Mumbai. Demographic data was collected and the students were asked to fill the Neck Disability Index questionnaire and the data was further analysed to check which gender and age group was affected the most. Results : Females were most affected with 80% and the age group which was most affected was 22 years (34%). Conclusion : This study concluded that prevalence of text neck syndrome is 32%. The major component affected according to neck disability index out of all the components is headache followed by sleeping, concentration and reading.

Introduction: Moberg pickup test (MPUT) is a standardized test for hand dexterity developed by Erik Moberg, in 1958. This test also assesses cognition, stereognosis, and comprehension. Aim of the study was to find the normative values for the Moberg pickup test and to find the impact of gender and handedness on hand dexterity among carpel tunnel syndrome patients. Method: This was a Crosssectional study, conducted at JSS College of physiotherapy, Mysuru, Karnataka for a duration of 2 months. This study was done on a population of 171 typical young adults comprising of 37 males and 134 females with an age group between 17 and 25 years. Test objects were placed on the table on the same side of right and left hands being tested with eyes open and closed, whereas the container was placed on the opposite side of the hand being tested. Three trials were done and the best out of the three was taken for analysis to obtain the normative values for Mobergpickup test. Result: The results show that the hand dexterity of the subjects was significantly good. Eyes open and close on dominant hand and Non dominant hand with mean values of 7.735, 12.806 and 9.206, 14.327 respectively. Conclusion: Females performed the test faster than males, and task performance with the dominant hand was faster than the non-dominant hand.

ABSTRACT Background of the study: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the 5 cause of mortality and morbidity in the world and represents an economic and social burden. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a chronic pulmonary disorder affecting 10%-15% individuals over age of 45 years. Objective of the study is to compare the effect of conventional pulmonary rehabilitation and Global Postural Re-education method on pulmonary function and thoracic expansion in patients with moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Methodology: This was an experimental Study of two groups’ with pre-post comparative study design. The study was conducted for a period of six months in the department of Pulmonology, K.G.Hospital and postgraduate research and medical institute, Coimbatore. All adult patients attending the Pulmonology department of the hospital were assessed and selected for the study. A total of 20 patients with moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were selected by random sampling method and were divided into 2 groups A and B. Pulmonary function test (FEV1/FVC) and Thoracic expansion at Axillary and Xiphoid level was measured and recorded. Unpaired ‘t’test used to find the difference between two groups. Result: T value for FEV1/FVC was 7.313, thoracic expansion was 11.90 and 16.39 at Axillary & Xiphoid respectively between two groups with ‘P’ value <0.05. The study showed that there is a significant difference in improvement of FEV1/FVC ratio and thoracic expansion in Group-B, who underwent Global postural re-education method. Conclusion: Global postural re-education method is better intervention in the improvement of pulmonary function, thoracic expansion in patients with moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a chronic pulmonary disorder affecting 10%-15% individuals over age of 45 years. Objective of the study is to compare the effect of conventional pulmonary rehabilitation and Global Postural Re-education method on pulmonary function and thoracic expansion in patients with moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Methodology: This was an experimental Study of two groups’ with pre-post comparative study design. The study was conducted for a period of six months in the department of Pulmonology, K.G.Hospital and postgraduate research and medical institute, Coimbatore. All adult patients attending the Pulmonology department of the hospital were assessed and selected for the study. A total of 20 patients with moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were selected by random sampling method and were divided into 2 groups A and B. Pulmonary function test (FEV1/FVC) and Thoracic expansion at Axillary and Xiphoid level was measured and recorded. Unpaired ‘t’test used to find the difference between two groups. Result: T value for FEV1/FVC was 7.313, thoracic expansion was 11.90 and 16.39 at Axillary & Xiphoid respectively between two groups with ‘P’ value <0.05. The study showed that there is a significant difference in improvement of FEV1/FVC ratio and thoracic expansion in Group-B, who underwent Global postural re-education method. Conclusion: Global postural re-education method is better intervention in the improvement of pulmonary function, thoracic expansion in patients with moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.","PeriodicalId":256438,"journal":{"name":"International Journal Medical and Exercise Science","volume":"212 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124158571","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Background of the study: Electronic cigarette or e-cigarette use has become a worldwide phenomenon since 2003. The literature review shows that not much is known about the effect of e-cigarettes on human health; many of the studies on the use of E-cigarettes effect on humans is under clinical trials. Objective of the study: The study aimed to assess the practice regarding e-cigarette use among youths in one of the private University College in Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. Methodology: This research adopted a cross-sectional survey design. Convenience sampling method was used in this study to collect the data from 100 respondents. Descriptive statistics were used for the data analysis. Result: The findings concluded that the growing demand for e-cigarettes is a serious matter of concern among the youths. The study findings concluded that 73% of the respondents have been using e-cigarettes. Majority of the e-cigarette users (56%) also responded that e-cigarettes were harmful but continued to use the e-cigarettes. The majority (96%) of the users are youths under the age of 24 years and had been influenced by the friends to use e-cigarettes. Another major reason for e-cigarettes over traditional cigarettes was the availability of different flavors of vape liquid to different suite preferences. Conclusion: The study concluded that the trend of e-cigarettes usage is growing at an alarming rate. There are many factors facilitating the use of e-cigarettes among youths. It is recommended that serious regulatory measures are needed from various health sectors to raise awareness regarding the ill effects of e-cigarettes usage among the youths.

Background Of The Study: Asthma is the clinical syndrome characterized by wheeze. It occurs in younger age group and is caused by trigger factors such as specific allergens (Pollen grain, Dust, Drug). Acapella combines the benefits of both Positive Expiratory Therapy and airway vibrations to mobilize pulmonary secretions and can be used in virtually any position allowing patients to move freely and sit, stand or recline. Objective of the study was to analyse the impact of exercising with Acapella on the PEFR of Chronic Asthmatics. Methodology: This was an experimental study conducted among 50 subjects of adoloscent age with chronic asthmatics. They were given exercise with Acapella for a frequency of 10 minutes, single session in a day, for 2 weeks duration. The study was conducted in department of Physiotherapy, ACS MedicalCollege and Hospital. Only chronic asthmatics had been selected in this study. The PEFR was used as a outcome measure for this study. The outcome was measured through PEFR values.Result:The results were analysed for 50 subjects at the end of the study. The improvement was highly significant in chronic asthmatics who exercised with Acapella. Conclusion: It was concluded from this experimental study the Acapella had more effect on chronic asthmatics and hence prevent premature collapse of alveoli. As it combines the benefits of positive expiratory pressure or PEP therapy with airway vibrations, which makes exhalation against resistance.
