“…8 In this present study there is significant difference between urea and uric acid level in pre and post exercise conditions in males although in females no significant alteration seen in pre and post exercise levels. Significant change in levels of uric acid after exercise program in middle age females is reported by Bijeh N et al 9 Some of the studies, 10,11,12 also reported increase in uric acid where as other studies 11 have opposite observations. Vanita Lal et al observed increase in creatinine level due to aerobic exercises in absence of renal damage.…”

“…Of those, 298 articles were excluded including 13 articles on studies to treat heart failure, 7 articles on coronary heart diseases and 76 articles on pharmacotherapy for hypertension (see list of excluded studies in the online supplemental material 1). Twenty-three studies (reported in 42 articles)24–66 on non-pharmacological strategies to treat patients with hypertension matched the inclusion criteria and were included in this systematic review (figure 1 and list of included studies in the online supplemental material 2). The characteristics and main results of these studies were summarised in table 2.…”

ObjectivesThis systematic review aims to evaluate the evidence of non-pharmacological strategies to improve blood pressure (BP) control in patients with hypertension from African countries.DesignWe performed a systematic review and searched Medline, Central, CINAHL and study registers until June 2020 for randomised studies on interventions to decrease BP of patients with hypertension in African countries. We assessed the study quality using the Cochrane risk of bias tool and narratively synthesised studies on non-pharmacological hypertension interventions.SettingWe included studies conducted in African countries.ParticipantsAdult African patients with a hypertension diagnosis.InterventionsStudies on non-pharmacological interventions aiming to improve BP control and treatment adherence.OutcomesMain outcomes were BP and treatment adherence.ResultsWe identified 5564 references, included 23 with altogether 18 153 participants from six African countries. The studies investigated educational strategies to improve adherence (11 studies) and treatment by healthcare professionals (5 studies), individualised treatment strategies (2 studies), strategies on lifestyle including physical activity (4 studies) and modified nutrition (1 study). Nearly all studies on educational strategies stated improved adherence, but only three studies showed a clinically relevant improvement of BP control. All studies on individualised strategies and lifestyle changes resulted in clinically relevant effects on BP. Due to the type of interventions studied, risk of bias in domain blinding of staff/participants was frequent (83%). Though incomplete outcome data in 61% of the studies are critical, the general study quality was reasonable.ConclusionsThe identified studies offer diverse low-cost interventions including educative and task-shifting strategies, individualised treatment and lifestyle modifications to improve BP control. Especially trialled physical activity interventions show clinically relevant BP changes. All strategies were trialled in African countries and may be used for recommendations in evidence-based guidelines on hypertension in African settings.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42018075062.

Introduction. Achieving high performance in sports is the result of many factors, both exo and endogenous. Proper nutrition is the basis of the so-called healthy lifestyle, health care and prevention of diet-related diseases. Physical activity is an extremely important component and carries a number of benefits that affect mental, physical and social well-being. Failure to provide sufficient energy, can lead to decreased performance, delayed recovery processes or loss of muscle mass. The purpose of the study was to assess the knowledge and nutritional habits of CrossFit trainees. Material and methods. 131 people were surveyed; the questionnaire was posted on the CrossFit Poland forum. The survey was voluntary and anonymous. The results were collected in a database in Microsoft Excel 2010 MS Office Package and statistically analyzed using Statistica 12. In the statistical evaluation of the relationship between characteristics, a significance level of p ≤ 0.05 was adopted. Results. In a survey of the knowledge and eating habits of CrossFit trainees, about 50% of respondents declare that they eat regularly. In addition, 50.5% state a moderate level of knowledge about healthy eating, while 33% state a high level. There is a high incidence of dietary supplement intake, accounting for 78.5%. As the frequency of training increases, the amount of supplements consumed increases. Conclusions. A significant part of the study group declares a very good or moderate level of knowledge of rational nutrition, which influences the choice of and regularity of the meals consumed in this group of Crossfit trainers.
