Aim. The article aims to identify the effect of regular physical activity of medium and high intensity on the functional status of 5–6 and 6–7-year-old children. Materials and methods. The study involved children assigned for health reasons to the main medical group. A set of indicators characterizing the physiological, psychological, and behavioral aspects of the functional status was used. The experimental programs differed in the intensity of physical exercises. Results. Training programs based on high-intensity physical exercises contributed to a significant improvement in the functional status of the body, autonomic supply, physical performance and physical fitness compared to medium-intensity training programs. Comparison of functional indicators in children revealed that in 5–6-year-old children the level of general activation both in a state of calm wakefulness and under information loads at all stages of the study was higher than in 6–7-year-old children, while physical performance and motor fitness, on the contrary, were lower. Conclusion. The obtained results provide the evidence that 5–6 and 6–7-year-old children making physical exercises of high intensity performed better than those who had exercises of medium intensity as resulted from the degree of positive changes in functional indicators.

Aim. The aim of the article is to establish the effect of anaerobic glycolytic performance on the functional status and cognitive efficiency in primary schoolchildren. Materials and methods. Children aged 7–8 (n = 181) and 9–10 (n = 168) years participated in the study. All children belong to the main health group. A set of indicators characterizing physiological, psychological, and behavioral aspects, as well as physical performance and motor fitness was studied. Results. During the study, anaerobic glycolytic abilities of the body were considered as one of the main characteristics of physical performance in children aged 7–8 and 9–10 years. It was established that the functional status of children aged 7–8 and 9–10 years during quiet wake and under information load depended on the level of anaerobic glycolytic abilities. Using the data obtained with the analysis of variance it was found that anaerobic glycolytic abilities provided a statistically significant effect (p < 0.05–0.001) on background activity, psychophysiological reactivity, cognitive efficiency and anxiety level. The importance of the effect of anaerobic glycolytic performance on changes in various indicators of the functional status ranged from 4 to 9%. Conclusion. The results obtained prove that anaerobic glycolytic abilities are the leading factor determining not only the inner structure of primary schoolchildren’s functional status and its age-related changes but also the peculiarities of psychophysiological shifts in the functional status under information load.

Abstract The aim of this study was to compare the kinematic characteristics of tennis matches between red clay and hard courts in young tennis players. Eight young tennis players performed two tennis matches on different court surfaces. The match activities were monitored using GPS units. The distance covered in different velocity ranges and the number of accelerations were analyzed. The paired t test and inference based on magnitudes were used to compare the match physical performance between groups. The total distance (24% of difference), high-intensity running distance (15 - 18 km/h) (30% of difference), the number of high-intensity activities (44% of difference), the body load (1% of difference), and accelerations >1.5 g (1.5-2 g and >2 g 7.8 and 8.1 % of difference, respectively) were significantly greater in clay court than hard court matches (p < 0.05). Matches played on the red clay court required players to cover more total and high-intensity running distances and engage in more high-intensity activities than the matches played on the hard court. Finally, on the clay court the body load and the number of accelerations performed (>1.5 g) were possibly higher than on the hard court.

Abstract: Humans spend most of their time on activities. In this modern era, due to increasing competitiveness, everyone is demanded to work harder, causing an ineffective time management. The increase of activity can affect health if not accompanied with adequate rest. The increase of activity can affect physiological function that can cause stress to the body. When stress occured, sympathic nervous and adrenal gland will affect the body's immune system, one of them is lymphoid tissue. Physical activity with moderate to high intensity can cause a change of lymphocyte level in the body. Construction workers are one of the kind of high intensity physical activity. This study aimed to discover the description of lymphocyte level on construction workers. This study was conducted on August 2016 to December 2016. This study is a descriptive study with cross sectional design and the sampling technique was total sampling, 30 respondents were participating. The study result showed that lymphocyte level on 17 respondents (56,7%) was normal, 4 respondents (13,3%) had an elevated lymphocyte level and 9 respondents (30%) had a depressed lymphocyte level. Conclusion: This study result that most of the respondents had a normal lymphocyte level.Keywords: lymphocyte level, construction worker, physical activity. Abstrak: Manusia menghabiskan sebagian besar waktu untuk beraktivitas. Di era modern ini, karena tingkat persaingan semakin tinggi, setiap orang dituntut untuk bekerja lebih keras, sehingga menyebabkan orang tidak dapat mengatur waktu secara efektif. Peningkatan aktivitas dapat mempengaruhi kesehatan jika tidak disertai dengan istirahat yang cukup. Peningkatan aktivitas fisik dapat mempengaruhi fungsi fisiologi tubuh yang akhirnya akan menimbulkan stres pada tubuh. Pada saat terjadi stres, saraf simpatik dan kelenjar adrenal akan mempengaruhi sistem imun, salah satunya adalah jaringan limfoid. Aktivitas fisik dengan intensitas sedang sampai berat dapat menyebabkan perubahan jumlah limfosit dalam tubuh. Pekerja bangunan merupakan salah satu aktivitas fisik dengan intensitas berat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran kadar limfosit pada pekerja bangunan. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada bulan Agustus 2016 sampai dengan Desember 2016. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif dengan desain penelitian cross-sectional dan pengambilan sampel secara total sampling dengan 30 orang responden. Dari hasil penelitian didapatkan bahwa gambaran kadar limfosit pada pekerja bangunan terdapat 17 responden (56,7%) memiliki kadar limfosit normal, 4 responden (13,3%) memiliki kadar limfosit meningkat dan 9 responden (30%) memiliki kadar limfosit menurun.

Introduction: The functional status at one moment in time is a strong determinant of future functional status and survival in older persons. Physical functioning is an important component of functional status. Physical deterioration tends to occur early in the disabling process and is therefore suitable to interventions. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of physical performance characteristics (muscle capacity, lung function, physical performance score and physical activity) and functioning independently in middle aged and elderly men. Methods: In a cross-sectional study 400 independently living men aged 40-80 were included. Preservation of function was measured using the Stanford Health Assessment Questionnaire. Physical characteristics were grip strength and leg strength by dynamometer, lung function by peak flow, lower extremity function by Guralniks physical performance score and physical activity by Voorrips questionnaire. Logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the association between potential determinants and the dichotomized HAQ-score, adjusting for confounders. Results: After adjustment for confounders, higher walking speed (OR=2.96, [95% CI 1.31; 6.72]) and shorter time to perform the chair stand test (OR=0.84, [95% CI 0.76; 0.94]) were associated with a higher probability of being independent in activities of daily living (ADL). Borderline significant associations were found for higher lung function and higher leg strength with a higher probability of being independent in ADL. No associations were found for grip strength and physical activity. Discussion and conclusion: The results are in line with previous studies, except for the associations between grip strength and physical activity with ADL independency. Longitudinal studies showed associations between grip strength and the probability of being independent in ADL. These results might indicate that whereas grip strength at a particular moment is not a determinant of ADL independency, change in grip strength over several years is. In addition, grip strength changes little until the 6 th decade but then decreases 1.0% to 1.5% per year from 50 to 70 years. The (relatively young) age of our study population could explain why we did not find an association. The mean total score on the Voorrips questionnaire was much higher compared to previous studies and very low scores of physical activity did not occur, indicating that our study population was relatively active. In the present study, lower body function and peak flow were associated with a higher probability of being independent in ADL. Future research should focus on the relation of physical performance characteristics and living independently using a longitudinal design for better insight in the direction of the associations. It seems that even at a younger age lower extremity function is associated with living independently.

Physical activity is one of the most important element of a healthy lifestyle and determinant of the physical and mental health. According to the WHO, limited physical activity is the fourth most common premature deaths risk factor in the world. Regular sport and active recreation is very important for our health. Physical exercise is the most effective method used by physiotherapists to prevent and slow down the aging process of the body, and consequently, diseases of elderly, such as: osteoporosis, injuries caused by falls, diabetes or hypertension. Physical activity has a positive effect on the quality of life and cognitive functions of elderly. People over 65 years constitute about 40-50% of people who require specialist medical care in the world. Therefore, health and medical professionals dealing with preventive healthcare and treatment of elderly people should have basic knowledge in geriatric rehabilitation, as well as to be able to plan suitable physiotherapy program adequate to the needs of older people. To assess the functional status of the patient, as well as the effectiveness of the training, various types of functional tests are used, specially designed for the elderly. These tests are based on the Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (COG) considering the state of health, physical and mental fitness as well as socio-environmental conditions. The physiotherapeutic program should be based on functional training involving the entire human body, i.e. nervous, muscular, skeletal, sensory and balance systems.

Background: Sarcopenia is defined as a progressive and generalized loss of skeletal muscle quantity and function associated predominantly with aging. Physical activity appears the most promising intervention to attenuate sarcopenia, yet physical activity guidelines are rarely met. In recent years high intensity interval training (HIIT) has garnered interested in athletic populations, clinical populations, and general population alike. There is emerging evidence of the efficacy of HIIT in the young old (i.e. seventh decade of life), yet data concerning the oldest old (i.e., ninth decade of life onwards), and those diagnosed with sarcopenic are sparse.Objectives: In this scoping review of the literature, we aggregated information regarding HIIT as a potential intervention to attenuate phenotypic characteristics of sarcopenia.Eligibility Criteria: Original investigations concerning the impact of HIIT on muscle function, muscle quantity or quality, and physical performance in older individuals (mean age ≥60 years of age) were considered.Sources of Evidence: Five electronic databases (Medline, EMBASE, Web of Science, Scopus, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials [CENTRAL]) were searched.Methods: A scoping review was conducted using the Arksey and O'Malley methodological framework (2005). Review selection and characterization were performed by two independent reviewers using pretested forms.Results: Authors reviewed 1,063 titles and abstracts for inclusion with 74 selected for full text review. Thirty-two studies were analyzed. Twenty-seven studies had a mean participant age in the 60s, two in the 70s, and three in the 80s. There were 20 studies which examined the effect of HIIT on muscle function, 22 which examined muscle quantity, and 12 which examined physical performance. HIIT was generally effective in Improving muscle function and physical performance compared to non-exercised controls, moderate intensity continuous training, or pre-HIIT (study design-dependent), with more ambiguity concerning muscle quantity.Conclusions: Most studies presented herein utilized outcome measures defined by the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP). However, there are too few studies investigating any form of HIIT in the oldest old (i.e., ≥80 years of age), or those already sarcopenic. Therefore, more intervention studies are needed in this population.
