The Effectiveness of Physical Activity-Promoting Web- and Mobile-Based Distance Weight Loss Interventions on Body Composition in Rehabilitation Setti…
2022
Background: Overweight and obesity are major problems worldwide, and they lead to an increased risk for several diseases. The use of technology in the treatment of obesity is promising, but in the existing literature, there is considerable uncertainty regarding its efficacy. In this review, we included web- and mobile-based weight loss interventions that were implemented remotely in rehabilitation settings. Objective: The aim of this systematic review is to study the effectiveness of physical activity-promoting web- and mobile-based distance weight loss interventions in rehabilitation settings on body composition in comparison with control groups that did not use technology. Methods: Studie…
Changes in Fat Oxidation and Body Composition after Combined Exercise Intervention in Sedentary Obese Chinese Adults.
2022
(1) Background: Evidence suggests that aerobic exercise and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) might increase fat oxidation and reduce fat. However, limited research has examined the effects of combining progressive aerobic exercise and HIIT interventions in sedentary adults with overweight and obesity, and differences in its effects between men and women remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of combined progressive aerobic exercise and HIIT (CAEH) on fat oxidation and fat reduction in sedentary Chinese adults and compare sex differences in sedentary adults after seven weeks. (2) Methods: Eighty-four sedentary obese adults were enrolled and allocated …
Obmowa, osądzanie, narzekanie czy milczenie? Rozważania Ojców Pustyni
2021
Pod koniec III wieku rozpoczyna się ruch monastyczny zainicjowany przez św. Antoniego. Powstała w ten sposób nowa forma ascezy charakteryzująca się zerwaniem ze światem, społeczeństwem (anachoreza, czyli pustelnictwo). Odtąd życie pustelników ma być pełne wyrzeczeń, na które składają się post, wstrzemięźliwość seksualna, modlitwa i praca, ale też milczenie. Wierzono bowiem, że tylko w ciszy brat otrzyma szansę spotkania z Bogiem, że usłyszy Jego Słowa i tym samym wkroczy w Jego tajemnicę, a potem będzie mógł innych do tej tajemnicy doprowadzić dzięki potędze miłości i pokory. Milczenie, zachowanie ciszy, powstrzymywanie się przed uwolnieniem słów były niezwykle ważnymi i częstymi tematami p…
Possibilities of using vegetable oils in acne skin care
2022
Oleje roślinne są to ciekłe tłuszcze pochodzenia roślinnego. Pod względem chemicznym to połączenia glicerolu i kwasów tłuszczowych wiązaniem estrowym. Stosunek kwasów tłuszczowych nasyconych i nienasyconych w cząsteczce oleju warunkuje właściwości poszczególnych olejów i ich przydatność m.in. kosmetyczną. Celem pracy była charakterystyka olejów roślinnych ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem budowy chemicznej oraz ukazanie znaczenia poszczególnych kwasów tłuszczowych w kosmetyce i dermatologii. Dokonano podziału olejów ze względu na stosunek ilościowy nienasyconych i nasyconych kwasów tłuszczowych oraz zwrócono uwagę na możliwość zastosowania olejów roślinnych w codziennej pielęgnacji skóry trądzi…
Mediating effects of motor performance, cardiorespiratory fitness, physical activity, and sedentary behaviour on the associations of adiposity and ot…
2018
We investigated the associations of cardiometabolic risk factors with academic achievement and whether motor performance, cardiorespiratory fitness, physical activity, or sedentary behaviour mediated these associations. Altogether 175 children 6-8 years-of-age participated in the study. We assessed body fat percentage (BF%), waist circumference, insulin, glucose, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure, leptin, alanine aminotransferase, and gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT). Reading fluency, reading comprehension, and arithmetic skills were assessed using standardized tests. Speed/agility, balance, and manual dexterity test results were used to calculate moto…
The role of parents' and teachers' child-related competence beliefs in the development of students' self-concept of ability
2017
Individuals’ perceptions about their abilities, that is, self-concepts of abilities, are crucial determinants of academic achievement and education-related choices. The aims of this research were to examine the role of parents’ and teachers’ beliefs about children’s abilities in students’ self-concept of ability in the domains of literacy and mathematics, and whether the role of parents and teachers is different among boys and girls, and among low- and high-performing students. These questions were examined using three different data sets: the LIGHT study, the Jyväskylä Entrance into Primary School (JEPS) study and the STAIRWAY study. In all three studies, the participants were Finnish. In …
Apoftegmaty Ojców Pustyni. O pamięci oralnej w zapisanych tekstach
2021
The paper analyzes selected apophthegms that are part of two collections: alphabetical and systematic. These texts had initially circulated in oral transmission between 330–460 AD and were written down in the mid-fifth century. In this form they are available up until today. The purpose of the analysis at hand is to try to find traces of oral transmission in the apophthegms, which has been attempted by considering the rather rich literature on oral cultures and oral transmission. The studies by E. A. Havelock, J. Goody, and W. B. Ong have proven most useful here. Oral memory in the recorded apophthegms was discerned at the level of the text itself, its form, structure, composition, the subj…
Duszpasterski kairos orędzia, kultu i jubileuszu 100-lecia objawień fatimskich
2017
Jubileusz 100-lecia objawień w Fatimie był bardzo dobrą okazją do jego jeszcze lepszego poznania, propagowania i wprowadzenia do duszpasterstwa. Orędzie fatimskie, obok części doktrynalnej, wykształciło i ma wpływ na tradycyjne oraz nowe formy pobożności z szczególnym wyakcentowaniem kultu Niepokalanego Serca Maryi i związanych z tym praktyk religijnych, takich jak modlitwa różańcowa oraz nabożeństwo pierwszych sobót. Stanowi to wezwanie pastoralne dla Kościoła, aby z jednej strony pogłębiać wciąż rozumienie orędzia fatimskiego i wypływających z niego implikacji pastoralnych, a z drugiej strony dostosowywać i w sposób zgodny z tym orędziem kształtować pobożność maryjną w duszpasterstwie. W …
Heart Rate Variability Monitoring During Strength and High-Intensity Interval Training Overload Microcycles
2019
Objective: In two independent study arms, we determine the effects of strength training (ST) and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) overload on cardiac autonomic modulation by measuring heart rate (HR) and vagal heart rate variability (HRV). Methods: In the study, 37 well-trained athletes (ST: 7 female, 12 male; HIIT: 9 female, 9 male) were subjected to orthostatic tests (HR and HRV recordings) each day during a 4-day baseline period, a 6-day overload microcycle, and a 4-day recovery period. Discipline-specific performance was assessed before and 1 and 4 days after training. Results: Following ST overload, supine HR, and vagal HRV (Ln RMSSD) were clearly increased and decreased (small …
Power Loading-Induced Fatigue is Influenced by Menstrual Cycle Phase
2022
Purpose To examine the effects of fatiguing power-loading on neuromuscular properties, force production, and metabolic capacities during four phases of the menstrual cycle (MC); menstruation (M), mid-follicular (mid FOL), ovulation (OV), and mid-luteal (mid LUT). Methods Sixteen eumenorrheic women performed sessions of maximal explosive leg press (2x10 at 60%1RM load with 2 min recovery between sets). Serum hormones and neuromuscular responses were measured. Results The loading protocol significantly decreased power (between -14.2% and -12.5%; p < 0.001) and maximal force production (between MVC; -15.0% and -7.8%; p < 0.001–0.05), while decreasing activation level (between AL; -6.9% and -2.…
