THE KEY FACTORS OF ATHLETES’ FUNCTIONAL FITNESS
type: item
description: Purpose is to study the most generalized properties (factors) of functional systems that make up functionalfitness structure and to analyze the possibilities of diagnosing the functional fitness of skilled athletes (cyclistsand rowers) based on complex research of the body oxygen transport system. Material and methods. The results of 264 complex physiological individual examinations conducted over a number of years using a holisticmethodological approach (and specially adapted methods) were analyzed. One of the main tasks of our study was the development of methods for quantitative assessment of functional fitness factors, as well as some other theoretical and factual grounds for making a diagnostic model of functional fitness. A complex methodology for functional fitness level determination was used. It included registration of the main gas exchange parameters, external respiration, blood, and cardiovascular system at different loads. Results. The main factors of athletes’ functional fitness are power, mobility, stability, economy, and functional potential realization. The power ofsystems determines the limit of functional manifestations in sports activity conditions. The mobility of systems determines the development speed of functional and metabolic responses at changes in work pace and intensity.The stability of systems determines the ability to keep high levels of energy and functional reactions. The economy of systems determines the functional and metabolic “cost” of the levels of work, gas transport and oxygen consumption, general economy of energy conversion. The degree of realization of the body system functional potential depends on the individual peculiarities of the neurovegetative status. Conclusions. The development of methods for analysis and assessment of the properties of function regulation that underlie the work capacityprovision in cyclic sports events, as well as some other parameters that reflect the body functional potential, is of great impor…

COMPLIANCE OF THE RESISTANCE CAPACITY OF ELITE ATHLETES FROM DIFFERENT TYPES OF COMBAT SPORTS WITH THE COMPETITIVE DEMANDS OF MIXED MARTIAL ARTS
type: item
description: Purpose. To determine the matching of resistance capacity of elite athletes practicing judo, Muay Thai,Greco-Roman wrestling, and boxing, to the loads that are similar in intensity and duration to those encoun-tered in competitive Mixed Martial Arts (ММА).Material and Methods. 90 elite male athletes were examined (33 candidates for the Master of Sport and57 Masters of Sport), aged 15–16 years. Five groups of athletes were formed: judokas, Muay Thai fighters,boxers, MMA athletes, and Greco-Roman wrestlers. Two test loads were proposed. During Test Load 1, participants performed alternating exercises for 3 minutes, a hanging leg raise on a horizontal bar with legsheld straight at a 90° angle, followed by push-ups with full arm flexion and extension. During Test Load 2, each group performed the most powerful and technically demanding combination of movements specificto their respective combat sport for 20 seconds. Heart rate variability (HRV) spectral analysis indices were used to evaluate the athletes’ resistance to the test loads. Assessment included both the basal HRV parameters (VLF, LF, HF, LF/HF) and the changes these parameters exhibited following the test loads.Results. Test Load 1 led to a shift in autonomic balance toward parasympathetic regulation, accompanied by an increase in central regulatory activity, in the examined groups of boxers, Greco-Roman wrestlers, and MMAfighters. In the Muay Thai group, a similar training load resulted in enhanced vagal influence on the sinoatrialnode alongside diminished central regulation of sinus rhythm. In comparison with baseline HRV, the Muay Thai and MMA athletes demonstrated reduced central regulation before Test Load 1 and one hour after recovery.Following Test Load 2, Muay Thai boxers and Greco-Roman wrestlers exhibited a shift in autonomic balancetoward parasympathetic regulation, along with an increase in central regulatory activity. The boxer and MMAgroups showed increased vagal influence on the sinoatrial node i…

ANALYSIS OF PACE DISTRIBUTION OVER A 50 M CRAWL DISTANCE USING TOTAL IMMERSION METHOD FOR COMPETITORS AGED 9–12 YEARS OLD
type: item
description: The objective of this study was to determine which anthropometric variables, such as body mass, height, and limb length, have the greatest impact on swimming velocity over a 50 m freestyle distance inyoung swimmers aged 9–12. The study also aimed to assess whether differences in results were statistically significant based on the age and gender of the athletes.Materials and methods. The research was conducted on a group of 100 swimmers (50 girls and 50 boys) from a Trójmiasto swimming club, divided into four age groups (9, 10, 11, 12 years). All participants trained 6 times a week using the Total Immersion method. The first stage involved collecting anthropometric measurements: body mass (kg), body height (cm), and the length of the upper and lower limbs (cm). In the second stage, swimming velocity was measured over a 50 m freestyle distance. The collected data was subjected to statistical analysis using Student's t-test, the Kruskal-Wallis test, and Pearson's correlation coefficient, with a significance level set at p < 0.05.Results. No statistically significant differences were found in anthropometric characteristics (bodymass, height, limb length) or swimming velocity between girls and boys within the same age groups.However, a statistically highly significant (p < 0.001) relationship was demonstrated between swimming velocity and the age of the athletes – the older the swimmers, the shorter the time it took to complete the distance. A statistically highly significant (p < 0.001) negative correlation was also found between swimming velocity and body mass, height, and limb length. This means that greater body mass, height, and longer limbs resulted in faster swimming. Exceptions were noted: in the 10-year-old group, the correlation between body mass and velocity was positive (p < 0.05), and in the 11-year-old group, no significant relationship was found between body height and velocity.Conclusions. Body mass, height, and limb length have a significant impact on th…

CHARACTERISTICS OF GONIOMETRY OF POSTURE OF WOMEN OF THE SECOND PERIOD OF MATURE AGE
type: item
description: Introduction. The scientific discourse on posture goniometry in women of the second period of mature age is multifaceted and includes the study of age-related changes, objective assessment using goniometry, analysis of the relationship with other health indicators, and determination of influential factors. An important aspect of the discourse is the development of corrective and preventive measures aimed at maintaining correct posture and preventing its disorders in women of the second period of mature age, which will reduce the risk of developing various diseases and improve their overall well-being.The purpose of the study is to determine the indicators of posture goniometry in women aged40–45 years.Research methods: theoretical analysis and generalization of literary sources; photography and posture analysis, goniometry, pedagogical experiment, methods of mathematical statistics.Results. The studied women aged 40–45 years showed characteristic deviations from the normative values,which indicates the prevalence of changes in the biomechanics of the spine and the position of the head. Thegreatest deviations were observed for the angles α₁ and α₂ (head tilt angles), therefore, the forward displacementof the head has a predominant diagnostic value for assessing possible posture disorders at this age. It was shown that in women with normal posture, more than 57% of the indicators corresponded to the normative values,while in the group with a round back, 100% of women had deviations from the norm in the parameters α₁ and α₂.These differences, confirmed statistically (p < 0,01), allowed us to conclude that women with a round back had a significantly greater forward head tilt (α₁) and a reduced horizontal head tilt angle (α₂) compared to women with normal posture. We also note that age differences between women aged 40–43 and 44–45 within the same groupin terms of posture in goniometric indicators were not detected (p > 0,05), which indicates the relative stability of po…

SUICIDES OF FAMOUS ATHLETES OF MODERN TIME: STORIES AND REASONS
type: item
description: Introduction. Professional athletes often suffer from physical and psychological injuries, they are underconsiderable pressure due to the constant need to demonstrate their victories, the high level of competition, violations of fair play, etc. These factors can increase the risk of suicide among them.The aim of the work is to study the life, professional career, reasons and methods of suicide of famous athletes in the first quarter of the 21st century. We used general scientific (description and observation) and theoretical (analysis, synthesis, classification, explanation, and generalization) research methods to achieve the goal.Results. The present study analysed information on 336 male and 45 female athletes who committedsuicide between January 2000 and December 2024. All the data was taken from verified sources. The research demonstrated that for every instance of female athlete suicide, there were approximately nine instances of male athletes committing suicide. The highest number of male athlete suicides was recorded in 2019, the lowest in 2000, and the highest number of female athletes committed suicide in 2020. Since 2009, there has been an increase in the incidence of suicidal acts. A study revealed that male athletes were most prone to committing suicide between the ages of 30 and 49, while female athletes demonstrated a peak in suicide rates between the ages of 20 and 39. In the case of the 252 athletes whose method of suicide is known, hanging and gunshot wounds were the most prevalent. In the case of the 26 female athletes, the most prevalent underlying factors contributing to injury were found to be falls from a height and overdosesor poisoning with dangerous substances. It was not possible to ascertain the method of suicide of 84 male athletes and 19 female athletes due to an absence of relevant information.Research has identified a number of factors that have been demonstrated to increase the risk of suicide, including diseases and injuries, career …

FEATURES OF INDICATORS OF MOTOR FUNCTIONS IN CHILDREN OF PRIMARY SCHOOL AGE WITH SPASTIC CEREBRAL PALSY
type: item
description: Introduction. The scientific discourse around motor function in children with spastic cerebral palsy is a dynamically developing field, integrating data from neurology, biomechanics, rehabilitation and pedagogy to improve the quality of life of this category of patients. The purpose of the article is to study the indicators of motor functions of children aged 7–8 years withspastic forms of cerebral palsy (CP).Research methods: theoretical analysis and generalization of literary sources, pedagogical testing, methods of mathematical statistics.Results. It was found that children with spastic CP at level I according to the gross motor function classification system (GMFCS) demonstrate a moderate level of motor function development. Their performance on test tasks was on average 18% lower than the normative values, which indicates the presenceof motor deficit. It is important to note that the level of motor development is comparable in children with spastic diplegia and spastic hemiparesis, indicating similar difficulties within the studied forms of CP. Secondly, the best results were recorded in the tasks of Block B, assessing the content of the sitting position.Almost all children in both groups performed these tasks completely independently, which emphasizes the preserved basic motor functions necessary for maintaining postural stability in a sitting position. Thirdly, the greatest difficulties were observed in performing the tasks of Block E, requiring a high level of coordination, muscle strength and balance. Particularly problematic were tasks related to jumping, walking along a narrow line and ascending/descending stairs without support. These data confirm the insufficient development of complex dynamic skills and functional movements that are critical for the age norm. Fourth, no statistically significant differences in the overall level of motor development were found between the groups of children with spastic diplegia and spastic hemiparesis (p > 0.05). Minor…

title: EXPERIENCE UTILIZING THE CANADIAN OCCUPATIONAL PERFORMANCE MEASURE (COPM) IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF INDIVIDUAL REHABILITATION PROGRAMS FOR MIDDLE-AGED INDIVIDUALS WITH CHRONIC CALCULOUS CHOLECYSTITIS AFTER CHOLECYSTECTOMY
description: Objective is to describe the experience of using the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) in the development of individual rehabilitation programs for middle-aged individuals after cholecystectomy; to determine the dynamics of the quality of life of middle-aged patients after cholecystectomy under the influence of the developed individual rehabilitation programs using COPM.Material. Middle-aged patients aged 45 to 59 years with chronic calculous cholecystitis (CCC) after cholecystectomy (n=40) who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy were included. Patients in the main group (n=20) received rehabilitation according to our concept using a biopsychosocial individual approach andCOPM, patients in the control group (n=20) received general recommendations on diet and exercise regimens.The mental and physical components of quality of life were assessed using the SF-12 questionnaire, in orderto ensure client-centeredness when setting short-term goals in the process of developing and implementingindividual rehabilitation programs aimed at occupational activity, the COPM was used. The article presents the results of assessing the quality of life at the acute stage of rehabilitation (initial examination), in the post-acute stage (one month after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LCC)) and long-term stage (one year after LCC).Statistical methods: Shapiro-Wilk W-test, the mean (x )̅, standard deviation (S) and standard error of the mean (m) were calculated; Student’s t-test, differences were considered statistically significant at p<0.05.Results. The results of the SF-12 quality of life survey in individuals with CCC indicate a level of lifeslightly below the average in the physical and mental components. This indicates that chronic calculouscholecystitis negatively affected these two important factors of quality of life. Analyzing the dynamics of quality of life according to the SF-12 questionnaire one month after LCC, no statistically significant (p > 0.05) changes …

PHYSICAL THERAPY AND OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY FOR MILITARY PERSONNEL AFTER BLAST-RELATED THORACIC TRAUMA
type: item
description: Chest injury in military personnel is one of the most common combat injuries among military personnel. This is the result of explosive waves, falls, contusion or compression with heavy objects withoutpenetration into the chest cavity. The most typical clinical manifestations include the contusion of the chest wall, fractures of the ribs, lung damage, ventilation disorders and respiratory failure. These conditions canlead to a decrease in physical activity, impaired respiratory function and reduce the quality of life in the affected persons. The aim is to analyze current scientific evidence and clinical guidelines regarding physical therapy for military personnel after blast-related thoracic trauma. Materials and methods. Storing,analysis and systematization of scientific literature published between 2019 and 2024 based on search inPubMed, Scopus and Web of Science Databases. Results. Clinical recommendations, protocols, systematic examinations and results of original physical therapy studies after a blast-related thoracic trauma of chest in military personnel illuminate the need to supplement traditional methods of physical therapy such as early mobilization, breathing gymnastics, posture drainage daily activities. Individualized physical therapyprograms are developed and implemented to address the specific needs of patients during the pre-operative,in-hospital, and post-hospital periods, focusing on the prevention of long-term complications. This systematic approach effectively contributes to the restoration of respiratory function, improved physical capacity,and reduced risk of complications.Conclusions. Physical therapy – including breathing exercises, positional treatment, occupational therapy and motor rehabilitation – is a key component in the recovery process after breastfeeding. Despite itsprevalence, the rehabilitation management of the military after breast trauma remains a lot of investigated,especially in the context of constant military conflict.

FEATURES OF THE BIOGEOMETRIC PROFILE OF YOUNG CHEERLEADERS WITH DIFFERENT POSTURE TYPES AS A PREREQUISITE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF PHYSICAL THERAPY PROGRAMS
type: item
description: Introduction. Previous observations show that the type of posture correlates with the state of the bio-geometric profile. However, there is no deep understanding of how different types of posture (normal, scoliotic, hunched back) affect the spatial organization of the body, and what specific changes occur in the biogeometric profile depending on the existing posture disorders. The solution to this problem will allow the development of scientifically based approaches to diagnostics, monitoring and correction of posture in young athletes, ensuring their optimal physical development and preventing possible injuries.The purpose of the study is to conduct a comparative analysis of the biogeometric profile of young cheerleaders with different types of posture to identify key deviations and prerequisites for their progression, which will allow the development of targeted physical therapy programs.Research methods: theoretical analysis of specialized literature; medical and biological research methods (photography), visual screening of posture, methods of mathematical statistics.Results. The study of quantitative characteristics of the biogeometric profile revealed significant differences between the groups of athletes with different types of posture. Athletes with normal posture haddominant high and medium scores, indicating optimal spatial organization of the body. The average value in the sagittal plane was 12.67 ± 1.63 points, in the frontal plane – 10.17 ± 1.60 points, and the total score was 22.83 ± 3.13. In contrast, girls with a hunched back showed a statistically significant decrease in all indicators: 9.50 ± 2.01 points in the sagittal plane, 8.10 ± 1.85 points in the frontal plane, and 17.60 ± 2.80 points for the total score. The lowest values were found in the group of female athletes with scoliotic posture, reflecting the most pronounced violations of the biogeometric profile: 9.00 ± 0.94 points in the sagittal plane, 7.30 ± 1.95 points in the frontal plane, an…

FEATURES OF THE DYNAMICS OF GERIATRIC STATUS AND QUALITY OF LIFE IN ELDERLY WITH BILATERAL HIP ENDOPROSTHESES UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A PHYSICAL THERAPY
type: item
description: Objective – to evaluate the effectiveness of a physical therapy program for elderly with bilateral hip replacement in terms of the dynamics of geriatric status and quality of life.Material. 112 elderly (69.6 ± 1.2 years) were examined. The control group consisted of 42 people who had no history of lower limb joint replacement. The comparison group consisted of 37 people with unilateral total hip replacement. The experimental group consisted of 33 people with two hip replacements, the effectiveness of which is presented in our study. A three-month physical therapy program was developed and implemented for them using therapeutic exercises (using weights, Thera-Band, MFT Challenge Disc Digital); gait training (self-control, practicing gait phases, overcoming an obstacle course), functional training of symmetry of lower limb movements (PROCEDOS PLATFORM 9 platform), Nordic walking; educational component – learning to control one’s condition, movement limitations, reducing the fall risk, awareness of the need for regular rehabilitation interventions; reshaped physical factors – electromyostimulation of the quadriceps femoris muscle, gluteal muscles, and calf muscles. The effectivenesswas assessed by the results of handgrip dynamometry, Short Physical Performance Battery, Tinetti-test,Geriatric Depression Scale, SarQoL questionnaires, and SF-36 questionnaire.Results. The patients were found to have signs of geriatric syndromes – muscle weakness (sign ofsarcopenia) (by hand grip dynamometry), balance disorders and fall risk (by Short Physical PerformanceBattery, Tinetti-test), psychoemotional depression (by Geriatric Depression Scale), deterioration of quality of life with social and personal limitations (by SarQoL, SF-36). The studied indicators of geriatric syndromes, quality of life in elderly patients with bilateral endoprosthesis in the remote period of arthroplasty were worse (p < 0.05) compared to a similar contingent of patients with one endoprosthesis hip joint an…

IMPLEMENTATION OF A SYSTEM OF PHYSICAL THERAPY IN DIFFERENT PERIODS OF RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS
type: item
description: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of physical therapy at different stages of rheumatoidarthritis. Materials: 188 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, whose average age was 46 years, were examined. All patients were randomly divided into a control group (n = 92) and a main group (n = 96). Patients in the control group underwent physical therapy in accordance with the recommendations of the regulatory document of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. Patients in the main group underwent physical therapy according to the proposed system, in accordance with the components of the ICF, taking into account the period of the disease and methodological approaches to their application. To determine the effectiveness of the physical therapy system, the VAS scale, the Sollermann test, and the Stanford Health Assessment Questionnaire were used. Results. In terms of dynamics (after 3 and 6 months) following physical therapy, pain severity scores were statistically significantly (p < 0.05) lower in patients in the main group than in patients in the control group. Thus, 78.2% of patients in themain group reported no pain, while in the control group, the number of patients with no pain was 67.4%, which is10.8% less, confirming the positive effect of the rehabilitation measures carried out for the main group. At the endof the study, the average Solerman test score in the main group increased from 65.1 points to 70.2 points, whilein the control group this indicator was statistically significantly (p < 0.05) lower – from 61.8 points to 65.1 points.The total self-assessment of health status in patients with rheumatoid arthritis according to the Stanford HealthAssessment Questionnaire at the beginning of the study was 6.4 points, indicating a low self-assessment of theirhealth status. Three and six months after physical therapy, the health status of patients in both groups improved,but the total score at the end of the study in the main group was statistically signifi…

PHYSICAL THERAPY FOR DANCERS
type: item
description: Purpose is to develop and implement a physical therapy programme for female dancers participating in the Standard programme of sports ballroom dancing, aimed at improving the functional condition of the cer-vical and thoracic spine, reduce discomfort and pain, and prevent overload and injuries to the musculoskeletalsystem that occur during training and competitions. Materials and Methods. Theoretical methods of scientif- ic research were applied, namely: analysis, synthesis, abstraction, concretisation, induction, deduction, logical methods, and systemic methods. Results. The implementation of the developed physical therapy programme contributed to achieving positive dynamics in the functional state of the cervical spine in dancers performingclassical dance elements. The results obtained indicate the effectiveness of the implemented set of measures.The results of repeated functional testing showed a significant reduction in pain intensity in the cervical-collar zone, confirming the effectiveness of the techniques used (massage, soft manual therapy, physiotherapy, relax- ation techniques). Most of the programme participants showed an increase in the range of active and passivemovements in the cervical spine, indicating improved soft tissue elasticity and reduced muscle tension. Thanks to the systematic performance of isometric exercises and exercises to stabilise the torso, an increase in the tone of the deep muscles of the neck and torso was noted, which ensured improved postural control and a reduced risk of overload during the training process. The use of exercises on unstable surfaces and with biofeedback improved symmetry and posture control, which is important for the aesthetics of dance movements. The overalllevel of physical performance and adaptation to specific dance loads also improved, confirming the preventive and training effectiveness of the programme. During the final stage, a reduction in muscle rigidity, asymmetry ofmuscle tone and functional blocks…

THE ROLE OF THE PHYSICAL THERAPIST IN THE INTENSIVE CARE UNIT FOR PATIENTS WITH STROKE
type: item
description: Purpose. To investigate and substantiate the pivotal role of the physical therapist in the intensive care unit (ICU) for patients with acute stroke, as well as to highlight the strategies and benefits of early rehabilitation intervention aimed at improving functional outcomes and reducing long-term disability.Materials. This study is an analytical literature review based on high-quality clinical trials, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and clinical guidelines published between 2010 and 2025. The search wasconducted in leading scientific databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, GoogleScholar) using keywords such as “stroke”, “intensive care unit”, “physical therapy”, “early mobilization”.Source selection followed strict inclusion/exclusion criteria, with an emphasis on evidence and timeliness.Results. The review revealed that early physical therapy in the ICU significantly improves functional outcomes in stroke patients. Specifically, a statistically significant reduction in NIHSS scores was observedeven at discharge from the ICU (average reduction of 1-2 points), indicating faster regression of neuro-logical deficit. Long-term functional benefits are confirmed by a statistically significant improvement in functional independence as measured by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) (an increase in the proportion of patients achieving mRS ≤ 2 by 15–20%) and higher scores on the Barthel Index at ICU discharge. Earlyactive and passive movements also contribute to accelerated recovery of motor function.In addition to functional recovery, early physical therapy is crucial for reducing the incidence of secondarycomplications. Data indicate a reduction in the frequency of pneumonia by up to 30%, pressure ulcers by up to 40%, and contractures by up to 50%. The risk of thromboembolic complications is also reduced by 20%. These findings underscore the preventive role of the physical therapist. Furthermore, the implementation of early physical therapy demonstrat…
