“…This is even more important considering the fragility of the elderly living in nursing homes. The values obtained describe a sample with a BMI above the recommended values and values in the physical fitness parameters lower than those indicated for healthy elderly people of the same age (Rikli and Jones, 2013 ; São Romão Preto et al, 2015 ; Sampaio et al, 2019 ). Nevertheless, these results are corroborated by other studies that are also conducted on elderlies living in nursing homes (São Romão Preto et al, 2015 ).…”

“…The values obtained describe a sample with a BMI above the recommended values and values in the physical fitness parameters lower than those indicated for healthy elderly people of the same age (Rikli and Jones, 2013;São Romão Preto et al, 2015;Sampaio et al, 2019). Nevertheless, these results are corroborated by other studies that are also conducted on elderlies living in nursing homes (São Romão Preto et al, 2015). Indeed, although the aging process induces physical and physiological impairments, such as decreased muscular strength, power, and mobility in all elderly people, they seem to be more pronounced in those who spend long periods of time physically inactive (e.g., sitting and watching TV) (Oesen et al, 2015;Sampaio et al, 2019).…”

Regular exercise has been shown to be one of the most important lifestyle influences on improving functional performance, and decreasing morbidity and all-cause mortality among older people. However, although there is some evidence on the effects of aerobic training on oxidative stress, there is little information regarding the effects of multicomponent exercise (dual-task training) and combination of exercise with cognitive stimulation on oxidative stress. In this context, the aim of this study was to verify the effects of a multicomponent exercise program on physical fitness and cognitive function in the elderly with mild cognitive impairment and determine the role of oxidative stress and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). At baseline, 37 elderly nursing home residents with mild cognitive impairment were divided into two groups: the control group (CG, n = 12, 81.8 years) and the experimental group (EG, n = 25, 83.2 years). These elderlies followed multicomponent exercise training for 24 weeks, with two sessions per week and 45–50 min per session. The exercises included both aerobic and strength exercises, considering functional movements and light to moderate intensity. Cognitive stimulation comprehended exercises based on word games, puzzles, mathematical calculations, forward and backward counting, computer exercises, exergames, and games on a balanced platform. Physical assessments (weight, height, and body mass index), health and functional parameters (fitness tests: chair stand, arm curls, chair sit-and-reach, eight feet up-and-go, back scratch, 6-min walking, feet together, semi-tandem, and full tandem), lipid profile (total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and triglycerides), measures of lipid peroxidation damage, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and BDNF were measured in plasma, based on which analyses were performed before and after the 24 weeks of the multicomponent exercise intervention. The results showed an overall improvement in physical and functional performance. Regarding biochemical measures, multicomponent exercises lead to a significant decrease in oxidative damage. The results indicate that multicomponent exercise training induces benefits in functional capacity and reduces damage due to oxidative stress.

“…Young et al [11] reported that the fear of falling may be mainly associated with psychiatric causes. São Romão Preto et al [18] found no relationship between the fear of falling and body composition, but they observed a more severe fear of falling among patients with low muscle strength in a "hand-grip" dynamometry test's muscle strength measurements, which was associated with decreased function in muscle strength and balance between the arm and leg muscle groups. Meanwhile, Mak and Pang [19] concluded that both primary and recurrent falls are statistically significantly more common among patients with a fear of falling.…”

BackgroundIn this study, we determined that among patients who had been operated upon for hip fractures at our hospital, prognostic factors for mortality and functional recovery in the preoperative period were indicated via laboratory parameters using the International Falls Efficacy Scale (FES-I) and Berg Balance Scale (BBS) scores. MethodologyBetween January 2020 and January 2021, the results of 64 patients who had been surgically treated for a hip fracture and 57 patients who had scheduled elective surgery were compared retrospectively. The groups' demographic data and blood parameters were compared. We used the FES-I and BBS scores to determine patients' physical functional status and fear of falling. ResultsThe case group's statistically significant FES-I score was high, and its BBS score was low (p = 0.001/0.001). As expected, the case group's D-dimer measurement was higher than the control group's (p = 0.001). In addition, hemoglobin, platelet, lymphocyte, albumin, total protein, and calcium levels were lower in the case group (p = 0.001 for all levels). No significant difference was found for other parameters. ConclusionsThe scales are used by physical therapy, neurology, and orthopedics professionals to evaluate the geriatric population's physical functional status and fear of falling. We believe prevention and cost-effective treatments for hip fractures can be achieved by determining geriatric patients' hemoglobin, platelet, lymphocyte, albumin, total protein, and calcium levels upon hospital admission and by directing these patients to relevant clinics using the fear-of-falling and balance scales.

“…Potrzebnym jest aby każdy żołnierz umiał sobie radzić z tymi emocjami. Tutaj nieoceniony staje się ruch jako znoszenie napięć fizycznych oraz edukowanie zdrowotne w ramach higieny psychicznej [14,17].Cele kultury fizycznej realizowane w Siłach Zbrojnych RP wiążą się z kategorią potrzeb społecznych, mają charakter utylitarny i są ukierunkowane na bezpośrednie i pośrednie przygotowanie do obrony [20,21].…”

Problemem badawczym poruszanym w tej pracy jest Sprawność Fizyczna żołnierzy uprawiających pływanie. Uwarunkowania służby wojskowej jako wymagającego sprawności fizycznej zawodu, którego realia powodują potrzebę przygotowania fizycznego pojedynczego żołnierza jak i współdziałania z zespołach (drużynach). W niniejszej pracy podjęta próbę zbadania różnic między żołnierzami, którzy uprawiają pływanie a tymi niepływającymi. Metodą badań będzie badanie empiryczne oraz dane zebrane na egzaminie rocznym z Wychowania Fizycznego. W niniejszej pracy zajęto się problemem sprawności fizycznej żołnierzy na przykładnie batalionu dowodzenia Inspektoratu Wsparcia Sił Zbrojnych. Sprawność Fizyczna jest podstawowym elementem zdolności bojowej dla żołnierzy i dowódców. Szeroko rozumiana Kultura Fizyczna która jest elementem kształcenia żołnierzy odnosi się także szeroko do Edukacji Zdrowotnej jako podstawowej umiejętności dbania o własny organizm. Realia pola walki weryfikują przygotowanie fizyczne żołnierzy. W obecnej dobie ciągłych zmian w wyposażeniu i technice wojskowej również zmienia się potrzeba oraz znaczenie sprawności fizycznej jako pierwszego elementu przygotowującego żołnierza do działań. Żołnierz który jest świetnym fachowcem na swoim sprzęcie a posiada niską sprawność fizyczną nie będzie dobry na polu walki chociażby przez brak umiejętności obrony swojego miejsca dyslokacji.
