September 2021
Knowledge of the circadian rhythm of the blind person and diurnal changes in anaerobic power and hormones concentration can create the possibility of individualising physical training. The aim of the study was to examine the time-of-day effects on anaerobic performance and the concentration of selected hormones. The measurements were performed at two different times of the day (10:00 a.

In addition, the physiological response of the female body to the walking effort on treadmill with poles (NW) and without poles (W) was compared and the influence of training on this response was determined. A single group study with a pre-test/post-test study design was conducted.

Article Synopsis
- Cellulite affects a significant majority of women over 20, and this study explored the effects of vibration therapy on skin affected by gynoid lipodystrophy (GL) in young women.
- Ten healthy women, aged around 21, underwent 20 sessions of vibration therapy over four weeks, with assessments before and after treatments.
- Results showed a 40% total remission of cellulite in participants, while others experienced improvements, and skin temperature increased significantly post-treatment, indicating a positive effect of vibration therapy on reducing GL.
Objectives: This study examined the effects of 6-week Nordic walking (NW) workout with individually customized intensity, on the body composition, and oxidative stress biomarkers for women > 55 years of age.
Material And Methods: Sixteen sedentary women (age 58.1±2.
Background: Nordic walking is a form of physical activity recommended for people of all ages and it is used in disease prevention and health promotion. The study was aimed to determine if and in what ways a six-week Nordic walking training program in late autumn may affect 25(OH)D concentration in postmenopausal overweight women.
Methods: Two series of measurements were carried out in a group of 17 women aged 57±4.
