Methods: Prospective cohort study (n = 22), prepost-evaluation. Data evaluated: BMI, HbA1c, proinsulin, body fat, serum glucose. Observation period three months. Results: Proinsulin showed a tendency to normal values (n.s.). When those patients who took metformin (n = 7) only, the effect was significant (P < 0.05). BMI, body fat and body weight decreased significantly (P < 0.001). HbA1c did not change significantly. Conclusions: Although the effect of decrease of body mass may be partially camouflaged because there was an increase of muscle mass (heavier than fat), the concept has been proven to be an effective strategy to decrease several risk factors on metabolic syndrome. Further investigations are necessary to detect subgroups of patients who may have the optimal benefit and more data are necessary to establish an optimized structure of the training for the patients. Such studies should cover longer observation periods (6 months or more).","PeriodicalId":93474,"journal":{"name":"Medicina sportiva (Krakow, Poland : English ed.)","volume":"1 1","pages":"131-139"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89845008","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 validity of a meta-analysis, also known by its critics as numerological abracadabra, is dependent on the arbitrarily defined criteria and discrimination of the analyst, and more importantly, on the quality of the inclusive studies. The focus of this commentary is a meta-analysis by Krieger, who claimed that multiple sets of each exercise are superior to a single set of each exercise for increasing muscular strength. Some examples of the inclusive studies that he awarded the highest quality scores are shown in this Critical Review to be very poor quality studies and not acceptable for inclusion in a meta-analysis.","PeriodicalId":93474,"journal":{"name":"Medicina sportiva (Krakow, Poland : English ed.)","volume":"12 1","pages":"122-130"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89619342","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}

However, the determination of the initial test load, and duration of the test make difficult to use the same in non ⴀindividualised environments. Objective: To determine coefficients to estimate the maximum strength (1RM), based on the relationship between muscular strength, lean body mass and total body mass. Methods: Twenty ⴀeight strength ⴀtrained and non ⴀstrength ⴀtrained men participated in this study. Muscle strength was determined using the 1 RM test in the bench press, supported barbell row, 45° leg press and squat exercise, while body composition was measured using the skinfolds method. After verifying the correlations between muscular strength and body mass and composition, the coefficients to predict the maximal strength were calculated by dividing the value of the 1 RM by the total body mass and lean body mass (kg) and by linear regression equation based in these parameters. Results: Significant correlations were found between body mass and lean body mass with muscular strength in all the exercises ( r = 0.47 ⴀ 0.76, P < 0.05). The greatest correlations were observed between the muscular strength values and lean body mass. There was a significant difference between the coefficients obtained from trained and non ⴀtrained subjects in all the tested exercises ( P < 0.05). Conclusions: The results suggest that the coefficients of prediction of the 1RM should take into account the body composition and the training status of the individuals.","PeriodicalId":93474,"journal":{"name":"Medicina sportiva (Krakow, Poland : English ed.)","volume":"1 1","pages":"111-117"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91097282","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}

Compared to other activities such as mountain climbing and rock climbing, the risks associated with hiking are perceived as minimal. However, as participation has increased, the research literature has started to document an increasing number of hiking related injuries and illnesses. The case reports in this study identify the factors that contribute to the death of four hikers in different regions of the American wilderness. Environmental factors and factors related to acute bad judgment syndrome played a major role in the death of all four hikers. Understanding these factors and overcoming the false perception of hiking risks is key to the future prevention of hiking fatalities.","PeriodicalId":93474,"journal":{"name":"Medicina sportiva (Krakow, Poland : English ed.)","volume":"1 1","pages":"118-121"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88939631","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}
