Scheuermann's disease is a kyphotic deformity of the spine that develops in early adolescence. The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in the parameters of spine (total mobility of dorsolumbal spine and lumbal part of spine), to find out the changes of strenght of the abdominal and scapula muscles, the mobility of the shoulders and the pain severity in this condition. 30 adolescents with an age of 11-16 years were taking part in this study. All of them got conservative treatment in Kaunas V.Tumėnienės rehabilitation center. Such methods as Schober‘s sign, finger-ground distance, tests for evaluating the strenght of abdominal and scapula muscles, shoulders mobility test, pain scale were used. After the treatment (kinesitherapy) the results of Schober‘s sign increased slightly, finger-ground distance improved significantly, the mobility of the shoulders and the strenght of the scapula muscles increased slightly, the strenght of the abdominal muscles improved significantly and back pain decreased considerably.

The aim: to examine the alternation of physical preparedness of the cadets aged 23-25 of the Great Lithuanian etmon Jonusas Radvila training company, while purposely training the least trained physical feature. The object of the study: the physical preparedness of the cadets. Hypothesis: The results of the physical preparedness of the cadets will improve after 8 weeks of emphasized training of the least trained physical feature. Methods used in the work: theoretical analysis and generalization, anthropometry, physical fitness test, pedagogical experiment, mathematical statistics. Subjects: 54 healthy cadets, aged 23-25, of the Great Lithuanian etmon Jonusas Radvila training company. Anthropometrical measurements (height and weight) were performed using standard methods. The body mass index was calculated according to formula (kg/m2). The physical preparedness of the cadets was examined with the tests corresponding to the NATO standards: press-ups (t/2 min), sit-ups (t/2 min), and 3000 m running. Physical preparedness was assessed according to the table of points in the system of 5 points. After analyzing the results of physical preparedness it was observed that for those cadets who failed or performed weakly, the hardest exercise was sit-ups in 2 minutes. The experimental group of the cadets was made of volunteers, who failed or performed this normative of physical preparedness weakly. The program for training the dynamic endurance strength of abdominal muscles was applied... [to full text]

Didėjant visuomenės susidomėjimu asmenine sveikata ir fiziniu aktyvumu iš sporto specialisto šiandien reikalaujama patrauklios treniruočių programos, naujausių metodikų, naujų žinių, efektyvaus darbo, ergonomiškų, saugių sporto priemonių ir aplinkos. Norima, kad treniruočių programos būtų ne tik efektyvios, saugios, bet ir pasiekti rezultatai pastebimi, objektyviai interpretuoti, vaizdžiai pateikti, nurodytos rekomendacijos. Mūsų darbo objektas – su sveikata susijęs fizinis pajėgumas. Todėl mūsų darbo tikslas – ištirti skirtingo pobūdžio fizinių krūvių poveikį fiziniam pajėgumui vyrų ir moterų grupėse. Darbo tikslas yra konkretinamas šiais uždaviniais: 1) Ištirti aerobinės ištvermės ir jėgos ištvermės krūvių poveikį vyrų ir moterų kūno kompozicijos rodikliams (svoris, KMI, riebalinei masei (%) ir kitiems rodikliams); 2) Nustatyti aerobinės ištvermės ir jėgos ištvermės krūvių poveikį vyrų ir moterų bendram aerobiniam darbingumui (MDS rodikliai); 3) Nustatyti aerobinės ištvermės ir jėgos ištvermės krūvių poveikį vyrų ir moterų skirtingų raumenų grupių (kojų, nugaros ir krūtinės) pajėgumui. Tiriamieji. Tyrimuose dalyvavo fiziškai aktyvūs sveikatingumo centro ,,Linija“ lankytojai jauno ir vidutinio amžiaus moterys (n = 16) ir vyrai (n = 20). Tiriamųjų amžius 25–50 metų. Tam, kad įvertintume taikomų programų efektyvumą tiriamuosius skirstėme į pogrupius. Pagal treniruočių pobūdį pogrupiai skirstomi į A – vyraujanti jėgos treniruotė ir B – vyraujanti aerobinės ištvermės treniruotė...

It is desirable that the training programs would be not only effective, safe, but also the obtained results should be easily noticeable, objectively interpreted, visually represented, also special recommendations for this matter should be indicated. The object of our work is the physical capability that is closely linked towards a health. Therefore the purpose of our work is to make the research of the effect of different nature physical strains onto physical capability in regard of the members of inquired men and women groups. The purpose of the work is concretized on the ground of these tasks: 1) to make the research of the effect of aerobic physical strains onto the physical capability in regard of indicators of body composition among the members of men and women groups (weight, Index of body mass, fat mass (%) and other indicators); 2) to estimate the effect of the strains of the aerobic endurance and the endurance of power onto overall aerobic efficiency among the members of men and women groups of inquired persons (MDS indicators); 3) to estimate the effect of the strains of aerobic endurance and the endurance of power onto the capability of muscles of different groups among the members of...
