Does daily physical activity reflect claudication distance measured on a treadmill and in a community outdoor setting?

Introduction And Objective: Low physical activity in patients with claudication is associated with lower walking abilities as assessed by the treadmill test. The impact of physical activity on the ability to walk in a natural environment is unknown. The study aimed to assess the level of daily physical activity among patients with claudication, as well as the relationship between the level of daily physical activity and claudication distance measured during the outdoor walking and treadmill tests.

Is Caperatic Acid the Only Compound Responsible for Activity of Lichen within the Nervous System?

Lichens are a source of various biologically active compounds. However, the knowledge about them is still scarce, and their use in medicine is limited. This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic potential of the lichen and its major metabolite caperatic acid in regard to their potential application in the treatment of central nervous system diseases, especially neurodegenerative diseases and brain tumours, such as glioblastoma.

The Allelopathic Potential of Aiton on Selected Wild-Growing Native and Cultivated Plants in Europe.

Invasive plant species are responsible for changing colonized ecosystems by occupying new areas and creating a threat to the functioning of the native flora and fauna populations. Alien plants can produce allelochemicals, substances completely new to indigenous communities. This study investigated the germination seed reactions of L.

How did three consecutive matches with extra time affect physical performance? A case study of the 2018 football Men's World Cup.

The purpose of this study was to ascertain the effect of playing three consecutive matches with extra time (ET) on the physical performance of selected Croatian players in their subsequent match, the final of the 2018 Men's World Cup in Russia. The case study consisted of 4 players on the Croatian national team (16 observations) who had played in all three matches up to 120 min. The consecutive full time matches (90 minutes) and extra time (30 minutes) were compared.

Plasma BCAA concentrations during exercise of varied intensities in young healthy men-the impact of endurance training.

Background: Branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) i.e., leucine (Leu), isoleucine (Ile) and valine (Val) are important amino acids, which metabolism play a role in maintaining system energy homeostasis at rest and during exercise.

The Impact of Match Location and Players' Physical and Technical Activities on Winning in the German Bundesliga.

This study aimed to examine whether the physical and technical activities of soccer players and match locations can be associated with higher or lower odds of winning matches whose outcome can be described as "close." The study comprised 7972 individual observations of German Bundesliga players during the 2014/2015 ( = 2794), 2015/2016 ( = 2494), and 2016/2017 ( = 2684) seasons. A selection of "close matches" was made, which were defined as those in which the difference in numbers of scored goals was ≤1.

Intermittent Claudication in Physiotherapists' Practice.

Intermittent claudication is a symptom of atherosclerosis of the lower limbs (peripheral arterial disease (PAD)) and is characterized by pain and cramps of lower limb muscles during exercise. Claudication leads to a reduction in physical activity of patients. PAD is a systemic disease.

Myofascial release in patients during the early postoperative period after revascularisation of coronary arteries.

The evaluation of the impact of soft tissue manual therapy with a myofascial release on pulmonary function, postoperative pain, fatigue, breathing difficulties and physical fitness, in patients during the early postoperative period after coronary artery bypass grafting and off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. The study included 80 subjects (59 males) with an average age of 64.13 years old.

The relationship between CA repeat polymorphism of the IGF-1 gene and the structure of motor skills in young athletes.

The map of candidate genes that can potentially affect physical fitness becomes larger every year, and they are associated with such aspects as respiratory and cardiovascular stability; body build and composition - especially muscle mass and strength; carbohydrate and lipid metabolism; response to training; and exercise intolerance.The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between the CA repeat polymorphism of the P1 promoter of the IGF1 gene and the structure of motor skills in the two groups of Polish young athletes in 2007-2009. In this study, 350 young sportsmen representing different sports disciplines were examined (age = 15.

Effects of Endurance and Endurance-strength Exercise on Renal Function in Abdominally Obese Women with Renal Hyperfiltration: A Prospective Randomized Trial.

Objective: Obesity is associated with kidney defects. Physical activity is a key element in the treatment of obesity. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of endurance and endurance-strength training on kidney function in abdominally obese women.
