Aim: The non-functional overreaching requires a deeper study because its diagnosing is not based on conventional methods. Orthostatic and clinostatic tests make it easy and quick to detect health problems. The purpose of this research is defining orthostatic reactions among 68 athletes with and without signs of non-functional overreaching. Materials and Methods: Our research comprises 2 groups of 68 athletes subdivided by presence of non-functional overreaching. The first group includes 27 persons with vegetative disorder signs. The second group covers 41 individuals without non-functional overreaching. For all of them, we conducted orthostatic tests to record blood pressure and heart rate horizontally and vertically. Results: The research showed that 9 athletes (33.3% of the O+ group) had unsatisfactory results after body tests in horizontal and vertical positions. All athletes revealed the orthostatic tolerance disorder. For 5 sportsmen, the latter was accompanied by the clinostatic overreaction. Resting heart rate did not vary considerably between both groups (р=0.412). However, orthostatic tests reflected the sharp index rise among 9 individuals. For non-functional overreaching athletes, the mean value (р<0.001) exceeded the corresponding one in the O- group more than twofold. Conclusions: Although today it is possible to differentiate orthostatic-clinostatic tolerance from vegetative dysfunction, further research must be conducted to clarify this syndrome types and to improve physical recovery for non-functional overreaching athletes.

Aim: To investigate the level of psycho-emotional state and health of newly certified law enforcement officers in the process of their professional training. Materials and Methods: The research involved first-time certified police officers of different categories (n = 104) who studied at the initial professional training courses in 2019. In addition, we investigated the dynamics of police officers’ health indicators during their initial professional training courses and in the process of their service for one year, depending on the type of previous professional activities (2019-2021, n=112). Results: It was found that newly certified police officers of the 3rd category (police officers of a body, establishment, institution) have the worst level of psycho-emotional state and health indicators. Most police officers are characterized by a high level of anxiety and a low to below average level of health. At the end of the research, 58.1% of police officers had a below average level of health, 21.4% had a low level of health, and no police officers of the 3rd category had a high level of health. It is important to note that the level of health of police officers involved in the research has not changed in the course of one year of their service. Conclusions: The negative impact of the new conditions and peculiarities of training and service activities during the initial professional training courses on the psycho-emotional state and health of newly certified police officers has been proved.

Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment and clarify the medical and social criteria for the rehabilitation of patients with obliterating atherosclerosis of the vessels of the lower extremities. Materials and Methods: A comprehensive clinical and instrumental examination of 54 patients who underwent various types of operations for obliterating atherosclerosis of the vessels of the lower extremities 3 years ago and 11 non-operated patients who made up the control group was conducted.All examined (men) aged from 45 to 60 years. The average duration of the disease was about 7 years. Operations were performed mainly in the II and III stages of the disease. Results: A complex clinical and functional examination of the patients revealed: in most of them, after the operation, the general condition improved or the process stabilized, periodic lameness decreased, and the intensity of pain decreased. However, intermittent lameness still persisted in 93% of them, and pain in the lower limbs at rest occurred in 41%. Calf muscle spasms were noted in 70% of patients, frostbite of the feet persisted in 51%. The pulse on the peripheral arteries was determined in 36% of the examined. Conclusions: The main criterion for the rehabilitation of obliterating atherosclerosis of the lower extremities patients is the degree of blood circulation compensation achieved as a result of the operation. The obtained data open wide opportunities for social and labor rehabilitation of patients with obliterating atherosclerosis of the lower extremities, which allows 53% of them to return to working capacity.

Aim: The aim of the work was to study the presence of determinants for predicting the local structures involvement of the musculoskeletal system against the background of joint hypermobility in children. Materials and Methods: The study involved 446 children aged from four to six years. The study plan includes: copying the data of a comprehensive medical examination; determination of joint hypermobility by goniometry and evaluation according to the criteria of presence and degree of joint hypermobility by the method of C. Carter, J. Wilkinson – in the modification of P. Beighton; application of clinical and physiological methods (functional testing, genealogical analysis) and methods of mathematical data processing. Results: The significance hierarchy of morpho-functional features in relation to the further development of the pathological process in children with one of the main manifestations of undifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia – joint hypermobility – is predicted. Determinants of predicting local involvement of musculoskeletal structures (mobility of the spine in the sagittal plane, muscles endurance of the dorsal torso surface) were determined. Conclusions: Against the background of the study of a wide range of clinical features of several generations’ orthopaedic lesions, the fact of highly-progressing risk of scoliotic disease and flat foot was established.

Aim: The aim is to substantiate the program of recreational and health-promoting training sessions with instructor officers of higher educational institutions with specific learning environment of different ages during their professional activities. Materials and Methods: The research was conducted in 2019-2022. Research methods: theoretical analysis and generalization of literary sources, pedagogical observation, programming, modeling. 140 instructor officers (men) of different age groups were involved in the research. Results: On the basis of the analysis of literary sources, the study of the practical experience of instructional activities, we substantiated the authors’ program of recreational and health-promoting training sessions with the instructor officers, the essence of which is to increase the amount of motor activity of the instructional staff through the use of simple and available means of general physical training, taking into account instructors’ age, their state of health, the focus of the training sessions and the time of the training sessions during the day. Conclusions: As a result of the implementation of the authors’ program in the educational process, changes were made to the organization of physical training of the instructional staff, which provide for conducting training sessions according to a “flexible” schedule depending on the academic load of instructors; the ratio of the volumes of general and special physical training has been changed, which provides for an increase in the specific weight of general physical training; recreational and health-promoting training sessions have been introduced, depending on the time of the training session during the working day.

Aim: The aim of our research was to evaluate the effectiveness of treating patients with Long COVID Syndrome in health-resort conditions. Materials and Methods: 33 patients were qualified for the research. They have all suffered virus infection confirmed by PCR test and met the criteria of Long COVID Syndrome. Course of the acute phase of infection varied among these patients: 22% had mild, 60% moderate and 18% severe symptoms. Patients were treated with our own program including: dietary treatment, kinesiotherapy, balneotherapy, physical therapy and Oxygen therapy. Each patient underwent 5 individually selected therapeutic procedures per day for the period of 14 to 28 days. Each day body temperature, saturation, blood pressure, weight and general clinical condition were monitored. Before and after treatment there was a clinical assessment of physical capacity based on indirect stress test on cycle ergometer, determining general physical capacity level and the maximum capacity of Oxygen absorption (VO2max/l/min.) according to Astrand-Ryhming normogram. Results: statistically significant improvement in clinical condition has been achieved. In case of 10 patients (1/3 of all researched) all syndromes resolved, other patients’ symptoms became fewer and less severe. Differences between average values before and after treatment were statistically significant. In terms of physical capacity a general improvement determined by capacity level was ascertained. 46% of patients researched had initially low or very low capacity level, and after treatment none of them presented the symptoms of low physical capacity. Those patients reached the average physical capacity level. Differences between the average values of VO2max before and after treatment were not statistically significant, which is probably due to little number of patients capable of taking the stress test with the use of cycle ergometer. Conclusions: 1/ Treating patients with Long COVID Syndrome in health-resort conditions is very effective and beneficial, and provides comprehensive therapy of patients with multi-morbidity. 2/ Properly prepared program of treating Long COVID Syndrome allows not only to improve patients’ life quality, but also increases their non-specific immunity, regulates gut microbiome and may help in preventing future infections.

Aim: To study the types of motives for a healthy lifestyle (HLS) in children of different ages. Materials and Methods: The research involved 150 children. The children were interviewed using the questionnaire developed by the authors, which contained 15 questions, using Google Forms. The survey was anonymous without any references to the authors made in the article. Methods: bibliosemantic, systematic analysis and generalization, medical and sociological, and statistical data processing. Results: The psychosocial stages of children’s development have been revealed and the motivation of children of different ages for a HLS has been characterized. It has been found that 72.0 % of the surveyed children have sufficient knowledge about the essence of a HLS, but most of them do not use this knowledge, only one-third regularly adhere to a HLS. Among the dominant motives for a HLS, children named the desire not to get sick (36.0 %), to be a physically healthy and spiritually rich individual (16.0%), to promote health and improve posture (12.0 %), to have a good physique (12.0 %). Conclusions: The availability of knowledge but the lack of appropriate skills and parental control lead to children’s neglect of a HLS and, consequently, their health. In the process of forming children’s HLS motivations, it is necessary to intensify the work of parents, taking into account the individual and age characteristics and needs of their children, and taking into account the priority sources of information about maintaining their health.
