Nordic walking is one of the forms of physical activity used in recreation as well as in medical treatment, prevention and rehabilitation. The aim of the research was to determine the impact of aerobic endurance training using a continuous (uninterrupted) method in a 12-week training cycle divided into three mesocycles on psychophysical well-being of men and women. Psychophysical well-being and the quality of life were investigated. The SF-36v2 (Short Form Health Survey) questionnaire was used to assess the quality of life, while the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale (MHLC) and other research tools were used to assess psychophysical well-being. The research was exploratory in nature and explained the impact of Nordic walking aerobic endurance training on psychophysical well-being. A theoretical and purposeful selection of the study sample was applied in the research. The study involved a group of 136 persons of different ages, of whom 71.3% (97 persons) were women and 28.7% were men (39 persons). Data analysis was conducted with a use of Dell Statistica (data analysis software system) version 13. The analysis of correlations of qualitative features was performed using the χ² (Chi-square) test. The training cycle had a positive effect on psychophysical well-being. High values of the dimensions of internal control of one’s health significantly affect psychophysical well-being. The greater the internal control of one’s health, the greater the sense of psychophysical well-being. After the analysis, a significant relationship was found between the respondents’ age and the subscales of the quality of life (physical health, physical functioning, physical activity and pain) according to R. Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient at the level of p<0.05. The higher the indicators of physical health during physical activity, the greater the sense of psychophysical well-being. A diagnosis of psychophysical well-being after completing aerobic Nordic walking endurance training in a 12-week cycle showed a significant impact on psychophysical well-being of men and women of various ages.

Consequences of falls in older adults are a serious issue and challenge for healthcare systems. Many of the falls result in serious injuries, including bone fractures, which necessitate long hospital stays; and their consequences often have unfavourable effect on the level of functional independence of older adults. Balance disorders and resulting falls are related to the natural processes of ageing, including weakened muscle strength and gradual decrease of function of all the systems of the body. It seems that a properly planned and conducted intervention programme may be an important factor in preventing falls in this age group. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess changes in balance and falls risk index in women aged over 50 years following two different types of training. The study involved 36 physically active females (mean age 67.11±5.35). Within the intervention, the studied women participated in a programme of whole-body training (8 weeks) and strength training (8 weeks). Balance assessment, including falls risk index, to determine the changes induced by the training was performed four times (before and after both training programmes) with the use of the Balance System SD platform by Biodex. We observed a significant improvement of balance, particularly in trials with eyes open, for both types of training and for the whole period of intervention. The risk of falls index decreased significantly, too. We found that the different type of exercise in regard to movement structure and to the type of impact influenced individual balance indices (overall stability index, anterior/posterior stability index, medial/lateral stability index) in slightly different ways. This may be a premise for designing intervention programmes targeted at falls prevention in older adults. Moreover, it turned out that the balance levels can be trained even in physically active subjects.
老年人跌倒的后果是卫生保健系统面临的一个严重问题和挑战。许多摔伤造成严重伤害，包括骨折，需要长期住院;其后果往往对老年人的功能独立水平产生不利影响。平衡失调和由此导致的跌倒与衰老的自然过程有关，包括肌肉力量减弱和身体所有系统功能的逐渐下降。看来，适当计划和实施的干预方案可能是预防这一年龄组跌倒的重要因素。因此，本研究的目的是评估50岁以上女性在两种不同类型的训练后平衡感和跌倒风险指数的变化。研究对象为36名身体活跃的女性(平均年龄67.11±5.35岁)。在干预期间，研究女性参加了全身训练(8周)和力量训练(8周)。使用Biodex的Balance System SD平台进行了四次平衡评估，包括跌倒风险指数，以确定训练引起的变化(在训练计划之前和之后)。我们观察到平衡性的显著改善，特别是在睁着眼睛的试验中，对于两种类型的训练和整个干预期间。跌倒风险指数也显著下降。我们发现，不同类型的运动对运动结构和冲击类型对个人平衡指数(整体稳定性指数、前后稳定性指数、内侧/外侧稳定性指数)的影响略有不同。这可能是设计针对老年人预防跌倒的干预方案的前提。此外，事实证明，即使是在体育活动中，平衡水平也可以得到训练。

Background: Blood tests are a common health assessment for diagnosing diseases and bodily disorders. Aims: The aim of the work was to analyze the suitability of sampling and assessing athletes’ blood-borne biomarkers in a search for ways to optimize their football training. Methods: In the prospective study, the results of 14 football players from a youth football team competing at the highest national level ‘blood tests were evaluated before (P1), immediately after (P2) and 24 hours after (P3) playing a football match. The all players were divided into two groups based on the length of time they were on the field during the game: FMP - (8 players) participation in the match for 90 minutes, and PMP - (6 players) participation in the match for 30-75 minutes. Results: In the FMP group, at P2, the following statistically significant (p<0.001) differences were observed: an increase in the leukocyte count; decreases in erythrocytes (RBC), hemoglobin (HGB), and hematocrit (HCT), and increases in creatine kinase (CK), cortisol and lactates. At P3 when comparing the FMP and PMP group results, we observed an increase in CK (p=0.03) and decrease in cortisol (p=0.02) in the former group. The concentration of cortisol<356.04nm/L at P3 was the most sensitive and specific (PPV=0.83; NPV=0.88) difference characterizing the group of FMP players compared with the players of the PMP group. In the FMP group compared with PMP at P3 we showed a significantly increased levels of CK (p=0.002). Conclusions: The blood cortisol levels below 356.04nm/L and CK concentrations below 500UI/L taken 24 hours after the football game in the players from a youth football team competing at the highest national level are characteristic of players with a greater potential for physical exercise.

Modern competitive activity in volleyball makes high demands on the fitness of athletes, where the leading role belongs to technical-tactical and special physical. Control and interconnection of technical-tactical and special physical fitness will ensure to provide the effectiveness of the training system for qualified female volleyball players. The aim of the research is to analyze the manifestation of special physical qualities of qualified female volleyball players of various playing roles and their interconnection with the effectiveness of technical and tactical actions. The study has involved 48 qualified volleyball players (including 6 masters of sports of Ukraine, 20 candidates for masters of sports of Ukraine, 22 female athletes of the first sports category). Close correlations were obtained between the absolute and relative indicators of the use of technical and tactical actions with the special preparedness of qualified female volleyball players: for binders - the results of the test of flexion and extension of the arms in the lying position closely correlates (r = 0.78 and 0.84) with the efficiency of the serve; for players of the second temp of attack rate - the results of the shuttle run test (9-3-3-9 m) closely correlate (from r = 0.77 to 0.88) with the serve; for the players of the first temp of attack rate, the performance of the test of raising the trunk in the prone position closely correlates (r = 0.70 and 0.78) with the effectiveness of the ball pass; libero - the highest correlational connections (r = 0.92 and 0.96) are observed when performing the shuttle run test (9-3-3-9 m) and the effectiveness of protective actions. On the basis of the obtained significant correlation coefficients, linear regression models of the relationship between the effectiveness of the application of technical and tactical actions and the results of pedagogical testing were constructed.

The aim of this study was to investigate the endurance performance in the male basketball players according to age categories. Totally 89 male healthy basketball players (age between 10-16 years) were voluntarily participated in this study. The age categories are determined as under 12 age (U12) novice, under 14 age (U14) little, under 16 age (U16) youth and under 18 age (U18) junior. 20 m shuttle-run test applied to determine the endurance performances of the subjects. VO2max, number of laps and total distance parameters are examined. It has been found that endurance performance increases with age. However, this increase was determined to be significantly different between the age categories (p<0.05). Although it was determined that endurance performance increased with age in male basketball athletes, there is no significant difference in endurance performance between U12 and U14. It is recommended to examine the lack of difference between novice and little teams in terms of adolescence and/or transition to adolescence.

The main goal of the presented study is to examine the connection between body coordination and visual-motor integration and to determine the dynamics of motor development for an integrative approach in Kinesiological Education and Kinesiological Didactics. Following the above, the problem of the possible connection between visual-motor integration and macro motor abilities is posed, which is especially important from the aspect of Kinesiological Education and the possible transfer of the effects of program content to this dimension. The sample of respondents for this study included a total of 110 subjects aged 3 to 10 years. For the analysis of the correlation of two sets of manifest variables, canonical correlation analysis was used to determine the structural correlation of the two sets of variables, i.e. the results of body coordination tests and test results for assessing the degree of visual-motor integration. The results of the presented study show the connection between the two observed dimensions in the preschool period and the tendency of gradual differentiation as a function of time in primary school students. The obtained findings indicate the importance of an integrative approach to the motor development of children and students in the aspects of planning and programming and the implementation of Physical Education.

Results of experimental studies suggest that regular physical exercise improves general cognitive function such as attention, memory or speed of information processing in elderly. Despite relatively numerous studies that have demonstrated the benefits of the cognitive area the researchers emphasize the need for further research. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of regular Nordic walking (NW) exercises on the selection of visual stimuli in older women and to establish correlations between perceptual and physical fitness benefits. The study examined 60 women aged 64 to 93 years in three groups. Twenty people participated in a 3-month programme combining NW and CT (group NW+CT), 20 people participated only in NW classes (group NW), and 20 people were a control group (group C). The Attention and Perceptivity Test, the Fullerton Functional Fitness Test, and the Romberg balance tests were conducted. The improvements in abilities to select visual stimuli were found in both experimental groups. Almost all indices of improved physical fitness were positively correlated with indices of improved visual perception. NW training connected with simple cognitive exercises is effective in improving ability to select visual stimuli. Physical training should involve both aerobic and strength exercises combined with cognitive exercises.

Physical training should involve both aerobic and strength exercises combined with cognitive exercises.","PeriodicalId":42772,"journal":{"name":"Acta Kinesiologica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70784565","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}

The aim of the study was to describe generational changes in the rate of puberty and motor skills of nonmenstruating and menstruating girls from eastern Poland in the years 1986–2016. The research material consisted of the results of 11,700 girls from eastern Poland. Physical fitness was assessed by means of the International Physical Fitness Test. Based on the test answers regarding the date of the first menstruation, using the "status quo" method, the fraction of already menstruating girls in relation to all the studied female students, as well as the mean age of the menarche were calculated. The differences in the results between the individual stages of the research were estimated using the t-Student test for independent samples. In the analyzed thirty-year timeframe, in the eastern part of the country, the percentage of menstruating girls in relation to non-menstruating girls increased significantly, while the menarche age decreased. In non-menstruating girls, an improvement in the results of hand strength, torso strength and agility was observed, as well as a reduction in the power of the lower limbs, running endurance, speed and torso flexibility. Slight, statistically insignificant differences were found in functional strength. On the other hand, in menstruating girls the results in lower limb power, speed, running endurance, and torso flexibility had decreased. Only hand strength and torso strength results had improved. The results of functional strength and agility were at a similar level. Girls with the same calendar age, but with a different maturation rate, were characterized by similar secular trends in physical fitness. On the other hand, greater negative and smaller positive changes in the level of motor skills were found in menstruating girls.

The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between the quality of life and health satisfaction with the level of sport performance in individuals practicing wheelchair basketball, wheelchair rugby, rowing and individual sports. The research included 192 athletes with disabilities, aged 19 to 49, from all over Poland. Males accounted for almost 80% of the subjects. The group of respondents included people who practice either competitive (classified) (n=66) (World Champions, Polish Champions) or amateur (unclassified) (n=126) sports. The standardized questionnaire of the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF) and a self-designed questionnaire were used. Nonparametric statistics were applied in the analyses of the results. The value of p≤0.05 was assumed to be statistically significant. It was found that amateurs felt greater health satisfaction and assessed their quality of life higher than the Polish Champions (p≤0.05). However, in the environmental domain, it was the Polish Champions who achieved better results (p≤0.05). In the social, physical and psychological domains, higher scores were achieved by amateur athletes as compared to the Polish and World Champions (p≤0.05). Wheelchair basketball athletes were more satisfied with their health and quality of life, as well as other domains (apart from environmental), as compared to wheelchair rugby and rowing athletes (p≤0.05). People aged 25-34, with education above the secondary level, employed, felt best about their quality of life. Improving the quality of life should be an important goal in the rehabilitation and training process of people with disabilities practicing sports.
