“…The area of mobility in the older adults is one of the key issues that are noticeable in young [2] and older adults’ well-being. Degradation changes in the physical and psychological potentials of the body caused by the environment affect the older adults’ lifestyle [19] and ultimately lead to FOF, which disrupts their daily performance and postural mobility. Symptoms such as pain, muscle weakness, lack of balance, obesity, arthritic diseases, walking disorders, FOF, makes exercising on the ground for the older adults far more difficult [8,20,21].…”

The fear of falling (FOF) limits the movements of the older adults, which, in turn, might impair postural mobility. An aquatic environment has a relatively low risk of falling and can improve motor abilities. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of aquatic exercise on postural mobility of the healthy endomorph elderly somatotype. Therefore, 37 healthy endomorphic older adults with an average age of 64.38 ± 4.12 years participated in this study. Participants were randomly divided into four groups (i.e., Aquatic exercise, Dry-land exercise, Aquatic control, and Dry-land control). The Heath-Carter method was used to estimate the criterion somatotype, and the Tinetti method was used to determine postural mobility. Covariance analysis was used to examine the mean differences at a significance level of p < 0.05. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the aquatic exercise group and the two control groups (p < 0.01), and the dry-land exercise group was significantly different from the aquatic control (p < 0.05) and dry-land control groups (p < 0.01). The results indicate that the design of aquatic exercise programs, especially for endomorphic older adults with inappropriate body shape, for whom dry-land exercises are not appropriate, likely, has a positive effect on the motor control and both the balance and gait and provide appropriate postural mobility without FOF in older adults.

“…The impact of biorhythms on various indicators such as the occurrence of occupational accidents, the physical strength of female volleyball players, and the muscle strength of athletes have been found to be signi cant in past research (22)(23)(24). On the other hand, sleep quality, nutrition, psychological variables, and exercise affected biorhythm (25). Studies have shown that the glycemic index affects psychological variables such as depression, diabetes distress, etc (26) .…”

Background All over the world, the availability of hospital beds is one of the fundamental challenges of modern healthcare. On the other hand, the COVID-19 pandemic and underlying illnesses exacerbate this problem by increasing the number of hospitalization days. Therefore, this study aims to determine the factors that affect the number of days of hospitalization of people with diabetes and with COVID-19. Method The Artificial neural network models used information from 183 of 200 patients to train the multilayer feed-forward back-propagation algorithms in 70% of the data. Then, model performance was assessed by the remaining 30%. In model selection, we evaluated different combinations of connection, the number of hidden layers, and the number of neurons in each hidden layer. Results Based on results, biorhythm cycles (physical biorhythm and emotional biorhythm) and duration of symptoms had second and third importance after demographic factors (age, hypertension, addiction, and Q2 therapy) in predicting the duration of hospitalization. And the two variables of age (22.3%) and addiction (16.6%) contribute the most to importance in the demographic section. Conclusion So the number of hospitalization days decreased when the disease was controlled by providing adequate training for affected individuals, conducting regular and periodic screenings for early diagnosis of mental illnesses, consuming a high-fiber, low-carb, low-fat diet, receiving proper sleep training, utilizing cognitive behavioral therapies, participating in resistance sports. Additionally, replacing long-term care centers such as nursing homes where educated nurses provide services to patients, will impose less cost on the government as compared to hospitals.

“…The five most popular forms of exercise—aerobics, walking, practicing yoga, Zumba, and jogging—all significantly lower the wellness risks linked to inactivity ( Aman et al, 2022 ). For example, exercise like yoga can improve balance and selective attention, aiding elderly individuals in cognitive and motor abilities, and thereby enhancing their well-being ( Taheri et al, 2018 ). A considerable improvement in flexibility, lower extremity muscular power, and static and dynamic balance was obtained with Pilates and yoga workouts ( Irandoust and Taheri 2016 ).…”

IntroductionYoga is one of the physical and mental activities used in elite sports training for risk prevention and medical rehabilitation in case of injuries caused by overtraining or accidents. This study examined the opinions of Romanian elite athletes and coaches on the feasibility of incorporating yoga practice into training regimens for purposes of injury prevention and medical recovery.MethodsThis study surveyed a group of 500 athletes, coaches, and medical personnel from three universities in Romania, all of which are part of the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport (PES). An online survey was administered which evaluates athletes’ experience of yoga integration in pre/post training and its positive effects on reducing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The data were then analyzed with a structural equation model utilizing SmartPLS software.ResultsAccording to the survey, Romanian athletes use yoga both before and after competitions to improve their focus, balance, muscle, and joint elasticity, foster a winning mindset, control their emotions and PTSD, visualize their competition performance, and see themselves as winners. The survey also found that yoga is seen as useful for cardiac rehabilitation, neuropathic pain, pulmonary disease, orthopedic illness, muscle strain, and managing symptoms of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).ConclusionThis study contributes to enhancing athletes’ mindfulness and health, offering valuable insights to trainers and athletes interested in incorporating yoga into professional sports activity. The results support the notion that yoga integration in training activity promises to positively influence athletes’ performance and reduce collateral side effects of competitions. The results are also in line with the objectives of the Global Action Plan on Physical Activity 2018–2030 (GAPPPA) - with the theme of “being more efficient to prevent than to treat” – which places special emphasis on the demands for certain programs and services, sports coverage, and healthy workplace initiatives. The study further indicates that Romanian elite athletes and coaches support the use of yoga is an effective method for enhancing athletic training and medical therapy for post-traumatic illnesses and stress disorders.
