“…Therefore, the modified Thai yoga is a safe intervention for older adults. As for further studies, modifications to increase the exercise stimulus as well as potential benefits to body balance, muscle strength, bone health and motor skills [22] should be investigated.…”

Introduction: Obesity is associated with increased risk of chronic diseases. An increasing of physical activity can prevent the obesity and improve the daily life quality in older adults. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of modified Thai Yoga on metabolic intensity and energy expenditure in obese older adult Thai women. Material and methods: Twenty-six participants, aged 56-75 years old, were divided into two groups: non-obese group (NB) and obese group (OB) defined by their body mass index. After 12 sessions of familiarization, the participants performed the modified Thai Yoga exercise program for 60 minutes. Energy expenditure and metabolic variables were measured via open circuit calorimetry. Results: At the exercise phase, the mean percentage of maximum heart rate for the OB and NB groups were OB: 57.43±6.32 % and 59.89±7.94%, respectively. The mean oxygen consumption for the OB group was 7.52±1.09 ml/min/kg as compared to the NB group which was 8.44±0.90 ml/min/kg. The mean metabolic equivalent (MET) for the OB group was 2.15±0.31 MET as compared to 2.41±0.26 MET for the NB group. Total energy expenditure for the OB and NB groups were 3531.32±483.47 kcal/day and 3090.82±387.99 kcal/day, respectively. The mean of activity energy expenditure for the OB group was 1509.65±498.72 kcal/day and 1393.39±367.41 kcal/day for the NB group. The difference between all parameters measured from OB and NB groups were significant (p<0.05). Conclusions: These results demonstrated that this modified Thai Yoga program provides a well-tolerated light intensity exercise stimulus and could be prescribed as an exercise program for obese older adults.

Introduction: Achilles tendon rupture is an injury resulting from occasional excessive physical activity that is undertaken in the absence of an adequate level of preparation. The calcaneal tendon forms the end of the triceps surae muscle which consists of the gastrocnemius and the soleus. The aim of the research was to evaluate the level of functional performance of the operated limb one and two years after the Achilles tendon reconstruction surgery. Material and methods: The study group comprised of 20 men (age-47.2±8.3 years; height-182±7cm; weight-88±12kg) who have undergone the Achilles tendon reconstruction surgery. The measurement of plantar flexor and dorsiflexor muscle torques was conducted in both extended-and flexed-knee position under isometric and isokinetic conditions. Results: The measurements of the plantar flexor and dorsiflexor muscle torques in the extended knee position performed one and two years after the surgery did not reveal any significant differences between the healthy and operated limb. The tests performed one year after the surgery in the flexed-knee position showed significantly lower values of the plantar flexor and dorsiflexor muscle torques in the operated limb measured under isokinetic conditions. The results obtained two years after the reconstruction surgery proved that muscular deficit was still visible; however, there were no statistically significant differences. Conclusions: The angular knee joint position affects the plantar flexor muscle torque in the operated limb. Due to the muscle strength deficit observed two years after the surgery, additional training should be implemented after the rehabilitation has been completed. The main focus should be on dynamic exercises performed in the flexed-knee position which help to rebuild deep muscles such as the soleus.

“…Unfortunately, this study only included adult men, and thus we did not have the chance to compare the results between different age groups and genders. The participants were also relatively young, healthy, and physically active, which could have influenced the results, because systematic exercise reduces body weight [37]. Additionally, it should be emphasized that this is an observational study and that no causal mechanisms can be inferred.…”

Obesity is a complex multifactorial abnormality that has a well-confirmed genetic basis. However, the problem still lies in identifying the polymorphisms linked to body mass and composition. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze associations between FTO (rs9939609), FABP2 (rs1799883), and LEP (rs2167270), LEPR (rs1137101), and MC4R (rs17782313) polymorphisms and obesity-related parameters. Unrelated Caucasian males (n = 165) were recruited. All participants had similar physical activity levels. The participants were divided into two groups depending on their body mass index (BMI) and fat mass index (FMI). All samples were genotyped using real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR). When tested individually, only one statistically significant result was found. The FTO A/T polymorphism was significantly associated with FMI (p = 0.01). The chance of having increased FMI was >2-fold higher for the FTO A allele carriers (p < 0.01). Gene–gene interaction analyses showed the additional influence of all investigated genes on BMI and FMI. In summary, it was demonstrated that harboring the FTO A allele might be a risk factor for elevated fat mass. Additionally, this study confirmed that all five polymorphisms are involved in the development of common obesity in the studied population and the genetic risk of obesity is linked to the accumulation of numerous variants.
