Mountainboard (ATB / MTB) is an extreme sports discipline derived from snow­boarding. In Poland, the first mountainboard shows took place on the slope in Ustroń Poniwiec in September 2002. The main places related to the development of mountainboarding are Kraków, Warsaw, Bielsko-Biała, Korbielów. One of the problems of practicing this sport are injuries that may contribute to the exclusion of a competitor from the starting season in the summer-autumn period. The aim of the study was to analyze the characteristics of MTB riders and to assess the most common injuries and the causes of their occurrence among mountainboard riders.\u0000Material and methods. 54 competitors aged 18-45 (mean age 32 years, SD 7.88) practicing mountain slabs took part in the study. A survey subscription was used – an author’s questionnaire, concerning the characteristics of the athlete and the most commonly occuring injuries. The technical assistance was based on the chi-square test, p = 0.05 as the level of significance.\u0000Results. The results on the competitor characteristics showed that the most common injuries in ATB among slalom competitors were bruises, while among freestyle, bordercross and downhill competitors were tears in the muscles of the upper and lower limbs. The relationship between the athlete’s body weight and the type of injury was also noted. \u0000Conclusions. The MTB discipline is a developing extreme sport among various age groups, it requires research into the prevention and reduction of sports injuries.\u0000\u0000","PeriodicalId":174963,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal of Sports Medicine","volume":"198 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132829619","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}

{"title":"Comparison of the effect of low frequency electromagnetic field application with the procedures using solid magnets in patients with gonarthrosis","authors":"Beniamin Stolarzewicz, Edyta Szczuka","doi":"10.5604/01.3001.0014.8687","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5604/01.3001.0014.8687","url":null,"abstract":"Background. The aim of the study was comparative assessment of the effect of treatment using low frequency alternating magnetic field and permanent magnets on the quality of life, intensity of symptoms and the range of movements in patients with unilateral degenerative changes in the knee joint. \u0000Material and methods. The sample included 60 participants aged 55-75 years from “Senioren Zentrum Schloss Liechtenstein der Wiener Privat Klinik” in Austria. The patients were divided into two groups (EM and SM), depending on the applied form of treatment. EM patients underwent treatment using low frequency alternating magnetic field, applied on the knee joint with degenerative changes. The second group underwent 10 25-minute-long procedures. Two bipolar permanent magnets were placed on the patients’ knee joints 12 hours a day to wear them 10 days. The quality of life was measured using WOMAC scale, pain intensity was measured using visual analog scale (VAS) and the measurement of the range of motion in the knee joint was taken. Statistical analysis of the obtained data was conducted using Statistica program version 12 (StatSoft, Poland). \u0000Results. The results show that both the low frequency alternating magnetic field and permanent magnets have a statistically significant favorable effect on improvement of quality of life, reduce pain and improve the range of motion in patients with gonarthrosis. The between group comparison of the therapeutic effects has revealed \u0000a significantly greater improvement of the quality of life in the group of patients undergoing treatment using magnets. \u0000Conclusions. The benefits of the treatment using alternating magnetic field or permanent magnets in patients with gonarthrosis seem to be comparable in the light of the study results. However, the additional benefits of treatment with permanent magnets, due to the possibility of self-application after consultation with the specialist in this field, are of note. It is particularly important in cases of problems with direct access to specialist therapeutic centers. In the case of athletes, it is also possible to apply this form of treatment by the patients themselves after sport-related injuries or in preventive measures aimed at the improvement of natural processes of post-exercise restitution.\u0000\u0000","PeriodicalId":174963,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal of Sports Medicine","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130106089","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}

Both the patient and the doctor who decides to let the patient drive a car must be aware that this is a very complex and responsible action. This may have an impact on the safety of the patient himself as well as other road users. The aim of the study was to analyse the research carried out so far and to help doctors and physiotherapists in taking the decision of returning the patient to driving a car. Most of the available studies are based on driving simulators and automatic gearboxes where a safe braking element is achieved in three to six weeks, where left-sided TKA patients can return to driving after 4 weeks. The most promising research seems to be in real driving, which allows them to return to driving just 3 weeks after the procedure. Material and metods. The medical databases, i.e. PubMed and Medline were searched for articles concerning the studied issue. The search have covered all databases until April 2020.

This study aimed to determine temporary changes in salivary C induced by short-lasting competitive efforts among athletes with Down syndrome\u0000Material and methods. 24 male athletes with mild intellectual disabilities participated in mul-tiregional athletic meeting. Eight participants with Down syndrome (DS) run on 100m, and 16 others without DS competed on 200 or 400m. All athletes were assessed for salivary cortisol responses to running . Specimens of saliva were sampled twice prior to the effort (-60 min, -2 min.) and 5 minutes after the runs. Cortisol levels (C) were determined in duplicates in all col-lected samples. \u0000Results. Athletes with DS demonstrated somewhat higher C at -60 min (12.0± 2.3 nM) than the others competed at 200m (10.6±1.5) and at 400m (9.7±1.5). At the end of the run, mean C values in the groups were related to the distance: 100m-10.4±1.8nM, 200m-11.9±1.1, 400m-12.8±0.7.

Long flight – from Poland it is about 11 hours, time zone change may be the cause of Jet lag and economy class syndrom (ECS).\u0000Currently, during the upcoming Tokyo 2021, the topic returns. And the long journey and the time difference especially concern the players from Europe. They are associated with: sudden change of time zone syndrome, i.e. Jet lag, ECS, exposure to dehydration and electrolyte disturbances and infections – mainly viral, hearing and labyrinth disorders. All of these can significantly affect the physical and mental condition and sports results at the most important event for players. Therefore, it is important to introduce the prophylaxis of these ailments, especially the most annoying time change syndrome, and in the case of players from Europe, more intense due to the direction and length of the trip. Traveling east, unfortunately, is associated with more severe symptoms than in the opposite direction – west. The aforementioned prophylaxis should be associated with changes in life­style, nutrition and adequate hydration of the body before the trip and during the flight. In addition, you should reach the place of the event in good time in order to acclimatize and adjust the body to the circadian rhythm. In the case of an economy-class syndrome associated with the possibility of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), or even stroke, appropriate prophylaxis and behavior patterns should also be implemented during a long flight of more than 6 hours.\u0000Appropriate change in the rhythm and length of training sessions before the trip, nutrition and fluid supply, behavior pattern, and sometimes even pharmacological support with permitted drugs, allows you to optimally prepare for the start.\u0000\u0000","PeriodicalId":174963,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal of Sports Medicine","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123126170","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 consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic include the emergence or intensification of negative emotional states, such as anxiety disorders or depression. The deterioration of the emotional state in human population can be explained by the severe increase in the level of psychological stress related to the pandemic. In turn, mental stress can lead to the appearance or exacerbation of psychosomatic symptoms. Mental stress is one of the risk factors for bruxism. Due to the current pandemic situation, there is an increase in the frequency of bruxism symptoms in the population.\u0000The aim of this study was to analyze the occurrence of bruxism symptoms in sports climbers during the COVID-19 pandemic.\u0000Material and methods.
