RESUMO
Age-related physical changes affecting the entire body inter alia influence what is known as "motor system competence". This article discusses the functional interactions responsible for this and describes the decline in individual facets of motor system competence. Recommended is adequate physical training as a prophylactic approach.

In the treatment of acute disorders, the complex interactions existing among various geriatric illnesses and age-specific impaired organ functioning, demand a therapeutic outlook oriented towards essential aspects, which can, and should, however be expanded in a holistic sense during rehabilitation. In this context, classic naturopathic techniques offer methods of treatment highly suitable in particular for geriatric patients with reduced general condition, methods that are readily accepted by them and available from the areas of kinesitherapy, hydrotherapy, phytotherapy, dietetics, and the restoration of harmonic life patterns and rhythms.

We describe the four-laser airborne infrared (FLAIR) instrument, a tunable diode laser absorption spectrometer designed for simultaneous high-sensitivity in situ measurements of four atmospheric trace gases in the troposphere. The FLAIR spectrometer was employed during the large-scale airborne research campaign on tropospheric ozone (TROPOZ II) in 1991 and was used to measure CO, H(2) O(2), HCHO, and NO(2) in the free troposphere where detection limits below 100 parts in 10(12) by volume were achieved.
