The aim of the research was to determine the impact of aerobic endurance training using a continuous (uninterrupted) method in a 12-week training cycle divided into three mesocycles on psychophysical well-being of men and women. Psychophysical well-being and the quality of life were investigated. The SF-36v2 (Short Form Health Survey) questionnaire was used to assess the quality of life, while the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale (MHLC) and other research tools were used to assess psychophysical well-being. The research was exploratory in nature and explained the impact of Nordic walking aerobic endurance training on psychophysical well-being. A theoretical and purposeful selection of the study sample was applied in the research. The study involved a group of 136 persons of different ages, of whom 71.3% (97 persons) were women and 28.7% were men (39 persons). Data analysis was conducted with a use of Dell Statistica (data analysis software system) version 13. The analysis of correlations of qualitative features was performed using the χ² (Chi-square) test. The training cycle had a positive effect on psychophysical well-being. High values of the dimensions of internal control of one’s health significantly affect psychophysical well-being. The greater the internal control of one’s health, the greater the sense of psychophysical well-being. After the analysis, a significant relationship was found between the respondents’ age and the subscales of the quality of life (physical health, physical functioning, physical activity and pain) according to R. Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient at the level of p<0.05. The higher the indicators of physical health during physical activity, the greater the sense of psychophysical well-being. A diagnosis of psychophysical well-being after completing aerobic Nordic walking endurance training in a 12-week cycle showed a significant impact on psychophysical well-being of men and women of various ages.","PeriodicalId":42772,"journal":{"name":"Acta Kinesiologica","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70785192","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}

Many of the falls result in serious injuries, including bone fractures, which necessitate long hospital stays; and their consequences often have unfavourable effect on the level of functional independence of older adults. Balance disorders and resulting falls are related to the natural processes of ageing, including weakened muscle strength and gradual decrease of function of all the systems of the body. It seems that a properly planned and conducted intervention programme may be an important factor in preventing falls in this age group. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess changes in balance and falls risk index in women aged over 50 years following two different types of training. The study involved 36 physically active females (mean age 67.11±5.35). Within the intervention, the studied women participated in a programme of whole-body training (8 weeks) and strength training (8 weeks). Balance assessment, including falls risk index, to determine the changes induced by the training was performed four times (before and after both training programmes) with the use of the Balance System SD platform by Biodex. We observed a significant improvement of balance, particularly in trials with eyes open, for both types of training and for the whole period of intervention. The risk of falls index decreased significantly, too. We found that the different type of exercise in regard to movement structure and to the type of impact influenced individual balance indices (overall stability index, anterior/posterior stability index, medial/lateral stability index) in slightly different ways. This may be a premise for designing intervention programmes targeted at falls prevention in older adults. Moreover, it turned out that the balance levels can be trained even in physically active subjects.","PeriodicalId":42772,"journal":{"name":"Acta Kinesiologica","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70785329","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}

Aims: The aim of the work was to analyze the suitability of sampling and assessing athletes’ blood-borne biomarkers in a search for ways to optimize their football training. Methods: In the prospective study, the results of 14 football players from a youth football team competing at the highest national level ‘blood tests were evaluated before (P1), immediately after (P2) and 24 hours after (P3) playing a football match. The all players were divided into two groups based on the length of time they were on the field during the game: FMP - (8 players) participation in the match for 90 minutes, and PMP - (6 players) participation in the match for 30-75 minutes. Results: In the FMP group, at P2, the following statistically significant (p<0.001) differences were observed: an increase in the leukocyte count; decreases in erythrocytes (RBC), hemoglobin (HGB), and hematocrit (HCT), and increases in creatine kinase (CK), cortisol and lactates. At P3 when comparing the FMP and PMP group results, we observed an increase in CK (p=0.03) and decrease in cortisol (p=0.02) in the former group. The concentration of cortisol<356.04nm/L at P3 was the most sensitive and specific (PPV=0.83; NPV=0.88) difference characterizing the group of FMP players compared with the players of the PMP group. In the FMP group compared with PMP at P3 we showed a significantly increased levels of CK (p=0.002). Conclusions: The blood cortisol levels below 356.04nm/L and CK concentrations below 500UI/L taken 24 hours after the football game in the players from a youth football team competing at the highest national level are characteristic of players with a greater potential for physical exercise.","PeriodicalId":42772,"journal":{"name":"Acta Kinesiologica","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70785104","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}
