Materials and Methods: The research was conducted during 2020-2021. The research involved 188 students (103 men and 85 women) of the first instructional years of technical specialties. Of these, 131 students regularly performed physical exercises during their distance learning, and 57 did not perform physical exercises at all. Results: It was found that students who regularly engaged in physical exercises during distance learning did not significantly deteriorate their health indicators and correspond to age norms. At the same time, strength training sessions have a positive effect on body mass index and strength index, while endurance training sessions have a positive effect on body mass index, vital index, and index of Robinson. Students who did not exercise showed a significant deterioration in all health indicators. Conclusions: It was found that distance learning resulted in a significant decrease in students’ physical activity. It was found that students who did not exercise on their own had an increase in body weight, which can cause many diseases. It was proved that regular independent physical exercises are one of the main means of maintaining and promoting the health of students during their distance learning.","PeriodicalId":42213,"journal":{"name":"Acta Balneologica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69734743","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}

Materials and Methods: In the study groups, the patients were subjected to magnetic field - magnetic stimulation with the use of apparatus Viofor JPS System. In laboratory tests, the following levels were assessed in the patients: interleukin 6 (IL -6), leukocytes (WBC), monocytes (MONO), platelets (PLT) and CRP. Results: In patients hospitalized for COVID-19 who received magnetic stimulation treatments with the use of the Viofor JPS System device, a statistically significant reduction in proinflammatory IL-6 levels was achieved (28.72 vs. 6.05 pg/ml, p=0.008). In the study group (with magnetic stimulation) we also observed a higher number of monocytes (MONO) with a more stable level of leukocytes (WBC) compared to the control group (without magnetic stimulation). Conclusions: It is probable that the application of low-frequency magnetic field in the hybrid treatment of COVID-19 patients may reduce pro-inflammatory factors (IL- 6). The low frequency magnetic fields are capable of restoring body homeostasis in terms of parameters evaluated in laboratory tests (WBC, MONO, PLT, CRP) which requires further research.","PeriodicalId":42213,"journal":{"name":"Acta Balneologica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135953787","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}

In addition, we attempted to determine whether the symptoms reported by specific patients depended on the period in which they suffered from COVID-19. Materials and Methods: Based on the analysis of the ’Wieliczka’ Salt Mine Health Resort patients’ medical records, the effects of post-COVID rehabilitation programme, in effect from June 19th, 2021 till October 28th, 2022, i.e. during 19 consecutive 3-week treatment stays, were assessed. The programme involved 699 patients, of whom 591 completed the entire programme. For each patient, the Post-COVID Functional Status questionnaire was completed, chest mobility was measured using a tape measure, and endurance was evaluated using the 2-Minute Step Test. Results: The most common symptoms reported in the Post-COVID Functional Status questionnaire were: chronic fatigue, post-exertional malaise, and dyspnoea on exertion. The mean chest mobility significantly increased from 4.07 ± 2.17 cm before to 5.95 ± 4.99 cm (p < 0.001) after completion of the programme. In a definite majority of patients (n = 467, i.e. 79%), an improvement of the result of 2-Minute Step Test was observed, usually accompanied by increased fatigue with concomitant reduction of dyspnoea on exertion. The period in which patients suffered from the infection had no effect on reporting of specific symptoms.
