Physical activity has versatile impact on female body and strengthens it in addition to improved physiological powers, more active performance of all systems and guaranteed normal course of pregnancy period. As a result, the cardiovascular condition is improved; placental circulation is more active, oxygen transopration and metabolism of the foetus is improved. The death-rate in pregnant women resulting from hypertension is the second after embolism. Preeclampsia is one of the hypertension-related failures, which affects 3 to 5 % of the pregnant women. The present research was targeted to women suffering from preeclampsia. The aim of the research was to investigate the impact of physical activity on manifestation of preeclampsia in pregnant women within 20-35 week of pregnancy. Tasks: 1. to assess arterial blood pressure (ABP) fluctuation of both groups of women (physically passive and physically active within 20-35 weeks of pregnancy; 2. to assess body weight index fluctuation of both groups of women (physically passive and physically active within 20-35 weeks of pregnancy; 3. to assess fluctuation of protein content in urine of both groups of women (physically passive and physically active within 20-35 weeks of pregnancy; 4. to assess life quality (sleep, headache, sight, right underrib pains, physical and physiological fatigue) of both groups of women (physically passive and physically active within 20-35 weeks of pregnancy.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the influence of 30min. of moderate and heavy intensity aerobic exercise to heart rate during interval incremental exercise. Methods: Eight healthy males (mean SD 23 1yr; 76 4,8 kg; 178 6,6 cm) were tested 3 times. They performed incremental veloergometer exercise test until subjective exhaustion. Pedalling rate was maintained constant at 70 rpm. Test began with 4 min. of cycling at 25 W. Then the workload was increased by 25 W and maintained for 3 min. until participant ,s heart rate (HR) reached 90 % of HRmax (220 - age, year). Between workloads the participants rested for 4 min. Two times exercise was preceded by 30 min. of moderate (equal to lactate threshold), heavy intensity (50 W heavier than lactate threshold) or no warm-up. Capillary blood samples were drawn from finger to measure lactate concentration at rest and 5, 10, 20, 30, min. during work. HR was registered before exercise and every 5 min. during work. Also HR was recorded every 5 s. during interval incremental veloergometer test. The heart rate data were modelled using single exponential models, which included amplitudes, time constants and asimptotics values. Results: Heart rate was more elevated during heavy warm-up compared to the moderate (3 min. – 140 13,7; 13 min. – 158 16,1; 23 min. – 164 13,6; 26 min. - 167 13,7 and 3 min. – 128 8,7; 13 min. – 134 11,2; 23 min. – 140 11,2; 26 min. – 142 10,9 beats/min. respectively).

While in making assessments for the effect of local exercises on movement control, a significant reduction of extension time and global instability assessment in sitting... [to full text]

Magistriniame darbe nagrinėjama Visagino savivaldybės kūno kultūros ir sporto sistema, kaip Lietuvos sistemos grandis, analizuojamos Visagino kūno kultūros ir sporto sistemos raidos kryptys, problemos ir modernizavimo galimybės. Literatūros analizė parodė, kad kol kas mažai teorinio įdirbio kūno kultūros ir sporto sistemos funkcionavimo srityje. Daugelis sistemos dalių yra iškelta nacionaliniu lygiu ir daug mažiau dėmesio kreipiama į savivaldos lygį. Todėl nėra susiformavęs inovatyvus požiūris į kūno kultūros ir sporto sistemos funkcionavimą valstybinėse institucijose ir ypatingai savivaldybėse. Tai aktuali problema, nes valstybė neturi tiesioginio sąlyčio su visuomene ir negali tiesiogiai vykdyti savo kūno kultūros ir sporto politikos. Kūno kultūros ir sporto sistema – tai specifinių sudedamųjų dalių, susijusių su žmogaus fizine prigimtimi, visuma: nuo fizinio ugdymo, rengimo fiziniams krūviams ir darbinei veiklai, aktyvaus fizinio judėjimo ir laisvalaikio organizavimo, žmogaus organizmo funkcinių rezervų ir galimybių plėtros iki specifinio kryptingumo – geriausio sportinio rezultato ir/ar fizinio tobulumo siekimo. Apibūdinant savivaldybės uždavinius ir tikslus kūno kultūros ir sporto srityje, siūlomos rekomendacijos kūno kultūros, sporto bei rekreacijos sistemoms modernizuoti, kurios padėtų susisteminti kūno kultūros ir sporto modelį, jungiantį vyriausybines ir nevyriausybines organizacijas. Empirinis tyrimas atliktas Visagino miesto sporto mokymo įstaigose ir bendrojo...

The analysis of literature sources revealed that there is little theoretical knowledge applied in the functioning of physical education and sports system. Most segments of the system are relevant on the national level, thus, less attention is paid to self-government level. Therefore, there is no innovative attitude developed towards the functioning of physical education and sports system in state institutions, especially in municipalities. This is an acute problem because the state does not have a direct contact with society and cannot directly implement physical education and sports policy. Physical education and sports system is the unity of specific segments connected to an individual’s physical nature, i.e. physical education, preparation for physical load and work activities, active physical activities and free time organization, development and possibilities of functional reserves of human organism as well as a more specific direction – the best possible result in sports and/or attempt for physical perfection. When discussing on municipal tasks and goals in the sphere of physical education and sports recommendations for the modernization of physical education, sports and recreation system are...
