PECULIARITIES OF PARAMETERS OF AEROBIC AND ANAEROBIC PRODUCTIVITY DEPENDING ON THE COMPONENTS OF BODY WEIGHT IN YOUNG MALES FROM THE MOUNTAINOUS DISTRICTS OF ZAKARPATTIA.

OBJECTIVE: The aim: To establish differences in the aerobic and anaerobic capacity in young males with different components of body weight who live in the mountainous districts of Zakarpattia region. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: 124 young men aged 17-21 were examined to determine the aerobic and anaerobic capabilities of the body, taking into account the components of body weight. RESULTS: Results: The level of aerobic productivity, which reflects physical health, depends on the component composition of the body. The highest level of aerobic capacity in terms of the VО2 max rel. is found in young males who have normal body weight with a high and a very high relative content of skeletal muscle, a low relative content of fat, and a normal level of visceral fat. As a consequence, their physical health exceeds "safe health level", namely 42 ml∙min-1∙kg-1, and corresponds to "average" according to Ya.P. Piarnat's criteria. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: A high relative fat content negatively affects the functional capabilities of the body of young males in both aerobic and anaerobic modes of energy supply. With the growth in the relative content of skeletal muscles, the increase of the aerobic capacity of the body, as well as the growth of the capacity of alactic and lactic energy supply processes is observed. None of the examined males had "good" or "excellent" parameters of aerobic processes.

PHYSICAL HEALTH OF FEMALES FROM THE LOWLAND DISTRICTS OF ZAKARPATTIA ACCORDING TO THE METABOLIC LEVEL OF AEROBIC AND ANAEROBIC ENERGY SUPPLY DEPENDING ON THE COMPONENT BODY COMPOSITION.

OBJECTIVE: The aim: To determine the aerobic and anaerobic productivity of females from the lowland districts of Zakarpattia region, depending on the component composition of body weight. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: A comparative analysis of physical health status of females in the post-pubertal period of ontogenesis, was carried out. Physical health status was assessed by indicators of aerobic and anaerobic productivity depending on the component composition of the body, which was determined by impedance measurement. RESULTS: Results: Physical health of females from the lowland districts depends on the component composition of the body, namely: an excellent level of aerobic productivity is observed in females who have a normal body weight with a high relative fat content and a normal relative content of skeletal muscles, VО2 max rel. > 38 ml·min-1·kg-1; as a result, their physical health exceeds the "critical level" according to H.L. Apanasenko and corresponds to "excellent" according to Ya.P. Pyarnat's criteria. Females from lowland districts who are underweight with a normal relative fat content and a high relative skeletal muscle content have an average level of aerobic productivity, VО2 max rel. < 34 ml·min-1·kg-1; as a result, their physical health is below the "critical level" according to H.L. Apanasenko. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: The presence of fat in females from lowland districts provides energy for muscle work, which contributes to better development of the muscular system. A high level of energy supply due to a high relative fat content determines the excellent physical health status of females from the lowland districts of Zakarpattia.

GENDER AND SOMATOTYPOLOGICAL PECULIARITIES OF INDICATORS OF AEROBIC AND ANAEROBIC PRODUCTIVITY OF ENERGY SUPPLY OF THE BODY IN THE POST-PUBERTAL PERIOD OF ONTOGENESIS IN THE RESIDENTS OF THE ZAKARPATTIA REGION.

OBJECTIVE: The aim: To establish gender differences in aerobic and anaerobic productivity in practically healthy residents of the Zakarpattia region in the post-pubertal period of ontogenesis, depending on the somatotypological characteristics of the organism. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: A comparative analysis of physical health status of 456 individuals, was carried out, whit was assessed by indicators of aerobic and anaerobic productivity of the body, depending on the somatotype, which was determined by the Heath-Carter method, and depending on the component body composition which was determined using the impedance method. RESULTS: Results: The relative value Vo2 mах in females corresponds to "excellent", which guarantees a "safe health level" according to H.L. Apanasenko. At the same time, the level of aerobic productivity in males in terms of the relative value Vo2 mах is "average", which cannot guarantee a "safe health level". The anaerobic productivity of females is lower than in males in terms of the relative value of alactic power, lactic power, and the capacity of lactic energy supply processes by 55.6%, 54.7%, and 38.7%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: The level of aerobic productivity, regardless of the area of residence, in females is higher than in males according to Ya.P. Pyarnat's criteria. In males the increase in the fat component has a negative effect on the aerobic and anaerobic energy supply of the body. On the contrary, the growth of the muscle component of body mass helps to increase the aerobic and anaerobic capacity of the body.

DYNAMIC OF UPPER LIMB SENSORIMOTOR RECOVERY ASSESSED ON THE FUGL-MEYER SCALE IN POST-STROKE PATIENTS WITH NEGLECT SYNDROME RECEIVING COMBINED PHYSICAL THERAPY AND ERGOTHERAPY.

OBJECTIVE: The aim: To assess the effect of the modified combined program of physical therapy and ergotherapy on the indicators of upper limb recovery in the patients with the left unilateral neglect. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: The study involved 58 patients diagnosed with the right hemisphere stroke followed by neglect syndrome. Patients were randomly divided into main group (MG) and control group (CG) according to the ratio of 1:1. Physical therapy of CG patients included proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), balance training, ergotherapeutic intervention, and exercises improving fine motor skills. Specially developed intervention program of MG patients took into account patient's individual capabilities and needs. It included PNF, balance training and upright posture correction, constraint-induced movement therapy, dual task activities, stimulation of the affected side in daily activities, targeted therapy. The length of intervention comprised 3 months in both groups. RESULTS: Results: According to the results of the primary examination, the groups had no differences in demographic variables, clinical history (NIHSS scale, the Glasgow Coma Scale and Albert's Test) and Fugl-Meyer assessment of upper limb sensorimotor recovery. Statistical analysis of the final scores of the Fugl-Meyer scale confirmed that MG had statistical advantages in all measured items of the motor function domain, as well as in a number of proprioceptive sensitivity indicators. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: The obtained results confirm better efficacy of the modified program of physical therapy and ergotherapy, received by MG patients.
