Type 2 Diabetes Incidence and Mortality: Associations with Physical Activity, Fitness, Weight Loss, and Weight Cycling
Authors: Gaesser Glenn A.
Published: October 2022

Cardiometabolic diseases, including cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), are the leading cause of death globally. Because T2D and obesity are strongly associated, weight loss is the cornerstone of treatment. However, weight loss is rarely sustained, which may lead to weight cycling, which is associated with increased mortality risk in patients with T2D. Meta-analyses show that weight loss is not generally associated with reduced mortality risk in T2D, whereas weight cycling is associated with increased all-cause and CVD mortality. This may be attributable in part to increased variability in CVD risk factors that often accompany weight cycling, which studies show is consistently associated with adverse CVD outcomes in patients with T2D. The inconsistent associations between weight loss and mortality risk in T2D, and consistent findings of elevated mortality risk associated with weight cycling, present a conundrum for a weight-loss focused T2D prevention and treatment strategy. This is further complicated by the findings that among patients with T2D, mortality risk is lowest in the body mass index (BMI) range of ~25–35 kg/m2. Because this “obesity paradox” has been consistently demonstrated in 7 meta-analyses, the lower mortality risk for individuals with T2D in this BMI range may not be all that paradoxical. Physical activity (PA), cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), and muscular fitness (MF) are all associated with reduced risk of T2D, and lower risk of CVD and all-cause mortality in individuals with T2D. Reducing sedentary behavior, independent of PA status, also is strongly associated with reduced risk of T2D. Improvements in cardiometabolic risk factors with exercise training are comparable to those observed in weight loss interventions, and are largely independent of weight loss. To minimize risks associated with weight cycling, it may be prudent to adopt a weight-neutral approach for prevention and treatment of individuals with obesity and T2D by focusing on increasing PA and improving CRF and MF without a specific weight loss goal.

U radu se razmatra mogu li COVID-potvrde opravdano utjecati na radnopravni status radnika. U tu svrhu detaljno se analizira ustavnost odluka Stožera civilne zaštite Republike Hrvatske, konkretno Odluka o uvođenju posebne sigurnosne mjere obveznog testiranja svih zaposlenika zdravstvenih ustanova, trgovačkih društava koje obavljaju zdravstvenu djelatnost te privatnih zdravstvenih radnika na virus SARS-CoV-2 od 28. rujna 2021. te Odluka o uvođenju posebne sigurnosne mjere obveznog testiranja dužnosnika, državnih službenika i namještenika, službenika i namještenika u javnim službama, službenika i namještenika u lokalnoj i područnoj (regionalnoj) samoupravi te zaposlenika trgovačkih društava i ustanova od 12. studenoga 2021., kao prethodno pitanje radi iznalaženja odgovora na pitanje jesu li mjerama sadržanima u gore navedenim odlukama opravdano ograničila neka zaštićena temeljna ljudska prava i slobode, a posebice u kontekstu radnopravnih odnosa pravo na rad te pravo na jednakost glede uvjeta rada.
Porezna evazija i porezni nadzor u svjetlu Direktive o administrativnoj suradnji (DAC) i teret dokazivanja u pravnoj praksi
Authors: Cvenček Matteo , Žunić Kovačević Nataša
Published: October 2022

U ovome se radu razmatraju postupci utvrđivanja i oporezivanja nesrazmjera dohotka i imovine kroz prizmu administrativne suradnje i pitanje tereta dokazivanja. Naime, kao i u drugim poreznim postupcima, teret dokazivanja treba biti podijeljen po kriterijima porezne pravednosti između poreznog obveznika i poreznog tijela. Prije svega, u radu će biti prikazana administrativna suradnja koja često prethodi i koja je nužna za pokretanje spomenutih postupaka, ali i kako je pandemija COVID-a 19 utjecala na takvu suradnju. Važno je na početku i definirati pojam nesrazmjera dohotka i imovine. Cilj ove analize jest istražiti pravila o teretu dokazivanja u takvim postupcima te prikazati kako se pravila o teretu dokazivanja provode u praksi. Proučit će se i praksa CJEU-a, koji je svojom interpretacijom europskih propisa donio značajne zaključke kako teret dokazivanja u poreznim postupcima treba biti raspodijeljen. Postupci utvrđivanja nesrazmjera dohotka i imovine zanimljivi su zbog svoga značaja, a taj značaj ne predstavlja broj predmeta, već u prvome redu iznos poreza koji bi trebao biti uplaćen u državni proračun. Naposljetku, u radu će se ilustrirati kako funkcioniraju odnosno kako bi trebala funkcionirati pravila o teretu dokazivanja u alternativnim načinima rješavanja poreznih sporova.

Sporovi povezani s pandemijom COVID-19 doveli su do velike „aktivnosti“ upravnih sudova, a posebno francuskog Državnog savjeta. Osim toga, većina pokrenutih sporova zahtijevala je hitno rješavanje koje ima za cilj obustavu akta kada postoji ozbiljna sumnja u njegovu zakonitost. Rješenja usvojena u sporovima vođenim povodom pandemije Covid-19 istaknuli su učinkovitost „hitnog postupka“ u fazi popuštanja ograničenja.
Zdravlje kao pravna vrijednost i faktori zdravlja
Authors: Harašić Žaklina
Published: October 2022

U prvom (uvodnom) dijelu članka navodi se kako ljudi općenito shvaćaju zdravlje. U drugom dijelu članka polazi se od podjele pravnih izvora na materijalne, formalne, etičke i spoznajne i razmatramo zdravlje kao vrstu etičkih izvora, odnosno kao pravnu vrijednost. Pri tome se zdravlje smatra nespecifičnom pravnom vrijednošću, dakle vrijednošću koja nije svojstvena samo pravu, nego i drugim normativnim porecima – moralu i običajnom pravu. U trećem dijelu članka navode se dva osnovna načina kako možemo zaštititi zdravlje – pomoću službene (konvencionalne) i alternativne (prirodne) medicine. Iznose se argumenti pobornika jedne i druge medicine. Ukratko se opisuju neke najraširenije i/ili najuspješnije metode alternativne medicine. Nadalje, zaštita zdravlja regulirana je brojnim propisima. Navode se propisi ustavnog i zdravstvenog prava, ali i drugih pravnih grana koje u mnogim aspektima štite zdravlje – prehrambenog prava, prava okoliša i kaznenog prava. Ti su propisi formalni izvori navedenih pravnih grana. Četvrti dio članka polazi od toga da postoji nekoliko faktora zdravlja, čijih zahtjeva, ako se držimo, nećemo se ili nećemo se teže razboljeti. To su: prehrana, zrak, tekućina, kretanje i vježbanje, sunce i odmor. U petom dijelu članka provedeno je, metodom ankete, istraživanje na deset ispitanika: drže li se oni, i u kojoj mjeri, zahtjeva faktora zdravlja brinući se tako o svom zdravlju. Šesti dio rada jest zaključak.

Ograničenja pojedinih drugih prava i sloboda u najvećoj su mjeri derivati tih primarnih ograničenja, a u nekim državama ograničenja se protežu i na prava koja ne deriviraju iz primarnih ograničenja slobode kretanja i okupljanja, kao što su prava na slobodu izražavanja, prava na imovinu i dr.
Postmodern
Authors: RAKINAUNG OXINCE GLEDIS
Published: October 2022

Postmodern adalah suatu narasi baru yang didalamnya ada berbagai macam bidang, apakah itu bidang filsafat, seni, kebudayaan, ekonomi dan kemasyarakatan, atau juga termasuk dalam bidang hukum. Postmodern ini telah berkembang berbagai pola pikir yang umumnyadikembangkan oleh kaum pembangkang terhadap berbagai konsep pemikiran yang kala itu dianut oleh mayoritas umat manusia. Sosiologi modern merupakan masyarakat sederhana yang berusaha menjelaskan tentang fenomena fenomena yang terjadi di sekitarnya dengan menggunakan mitologi mitologi atau kepercayaan kepercayaan tertentu. Pada masyarakat modern ini mitologi tidak mampu lagi menjelaskan tentang peristiwa sosial yang terjadi di sekitarnya. Untuk menjelaskan fenomena sosial tersebut dengan menggunakan berteori, teori merupakan usaha untuk menjelaskan bagaimana kejadian kejadian yang terjadi disekitar kita dengan menggunakan daya nalar.Di era postmodern ini, bisa diistilahkan bahwa segala bentuk seni kembali mendekati pada nilai yang sebelumnya pada era moderen sempat dilupakan, tetapi karena keleluasaannya itulah, banyak orang yang semakin sulit untuk menilai dan menemuka seni yang bermakna karena setiap seniman semakin membuat suatu karya seni yang aneh aneh. Postmodern adalah suatu keadaan dimana semua yang ada didunia ini menjadi berlebihan dalam konteks apapun.

Keberhasilan seseorang dalam dunia bisnis ditentukan seberapa baik mereka melakukan komunikasi, seperti halnya yang terlibat dalam dunia usaha/ bisnis ketika tidak dapat melakukan komunikasi akan sulit untuk bersaing dalam dunia bisnis, karena dalam dunia bisnis digunakan hukum kausalitas (hubungan sebab akibat), para pelaku bisnis rela membayar mahal biaya publikasi/ reklame untuk satu jenis produk. Jadi walaupun komunikasi dan bisnis merupakan disiplin ilmu yang sangat berbeda akan tetapi komunikasi sangat penting dalam dunia bisnis.
Differential expression of UCP2 in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: October 2022

Neurodegenerative diseases that affect the motor neurons, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), have little treatment options and are generally rapidly fatal (1, 2). We harnessed the power of unbiased, whole transcriptome differential gene expression analysis, utilizing primary patient cells and tissues to discover genes whose expression defines ALS using published data (3, 4). We found significant differential expression of UCP2, encoding uncoupling protein 2, in the motor neurons of patients with ALS. UCP2 was also differentially expressed in the induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived motor neurons of patients with ALS. UCP2 transcript was present at higher levels in ALS patient motor neurons as compared to control motor neurons. These analyses will begin to define the transcriptional landscape of ALS.

Communication Intervention Implementation via Telepractice Parent Coahing: Child Outcomes and Correlations
Authors: Wattanawongwan Sanikan
Published: October 2022

Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have deficits in social and communication skills that can cause problems, such as difficulty interacting with others and challenging behaviors. Research has demonstrated the effectiveness of parents as intervention implementers to improve children’s communication skills. We evaluated the effects of a telepractice parent-coaching communication intervention on communication skills of children with ASD utilizing a multiple probe design across participants. Parents applied strategies learned with their child, targeting communication skills, such as asking opinion-oriented questions or using augmentative and alternative communication to request items. Results indicated improvement of children’s communicative behaviors and a significant correlation between parent implementation of intervention elements and children behaviors. Effect size results for the participants indicated strong effects consistent with visually inspected data. Keywords: telepractice; autism spectrum disorder; communication intervention; parent coaching; behavioral strategies; augmentative and alternative communication

Inikah Akhir Dari Konspirasi Covid19?
Authors: Runggat Francisco Benedictus
Published: October 2022

Setelah hidup dalam bayang-bayang ketakutan yang diciptakannya sendiri, kini pemerintah seakan inkonsistensi dengan kebijakan-kebijakannya terkait penanganan covid 19 ini. Dimulai dari hanya orang-orang yang negatif dari tes SWAB/ANTIGEN/PCR saja yang boleh melakukan aktifitas di tempat umum, kemudian muncullah kebijakan harus mendapat vaksin untuk bisa mengakses beberapa fasilitas umum. Ketika varian omicron muncul pemerintah mengumumkan gelombang ketiga dan menyatakan meski sudah mendapat vaksin kedua kita masih mungkin terpapar sehingga harus menerima vaksin booster. Beberapa waktu lalu sempat viral kasus-kasus seperti ini namun pernyataan kontra justru keluar dari menko kemaritiman menanggapi dengan pernyataan “kalau sudah vaksin 2x jalan-jalan saja ke mall” dan beberapa hari kemudian beliau juga mengeluarkan statement bahwa pertandingan sepakbola liga 1 Indonesia boleh dihadiri penonton dengan syarat wajib vaksin booster. Kini kembali keluar pernyataan dari pemerintah yang menyatakan bahwa penumpang pesawat udara tidak perlu lagi melakukan PCR dan semacamnya disusul dengan berita bahwa penumpang KRL JABODETABEK kini tidak perlu lagi duduk berjarak. Apakah pandemi benar-benar berakhir?atau cukup sampai disinikah skenario panjang ini?berakhir kah konspirasi ini?atau justru ada konspirasi lain setelah ini?
Exploring the Relationship between Purpose and Moral Psychological Indicators
Authors: Han Hyemin
Published: October 2022

In the present study, I explore the relationship between purpose, which was measured by the Claremont Purpose Scale, and moral psychological indicators, moral reasoning, moral identity, and empathy. Purpose was quantified in terms of three subcomponents: meaning, goal, and beyond-the-self motivation. Moral reasoning was assessed in term of utilization of postconventional moral reasoning. Moral identity was examined with two subscales: moral internalization, and symbolization. Among diverse subscales of empathy, I focused on empathic concern and perspective taking, which have been reported to be strongly related to morality. To explore the best prediction models using the data, I employed Bayesian Model Selection and Bayesian regression analysis. In general, purpose was significantly predicted by most surveyed moral psychological indicators but not by moral symbolization. The best prediction model for beyond-the-self motivation included the most moral psychological indicator predictors including moral reasoning, which did not significantly predict other dependent variables.
Does allowing for changes of mind influence initial responses?
Authors: Taylor Grant John , Nguyen Augustine , Evans Nathan J.
Published: October 2022

Evidence accumulation models (EAMs) have become the dominant theoretical framework for rapid decision-making, and while many theoretically distinct variants exist, comparisons have proved challenging due to strong mimicry in their predictions about choice response time data. One solution to reduce mimicry is constraining these models with double responses, which are a second response that is made after the initial response. However, instructing participants that they are allowed to change their mind could influence their strategy for initial responding, meaning that explicit double responding paradigms may not generalise to standard paradigms. Here, we provide a validation of explicit double responding paradigms, by assessing whether participants’ initial decisions – as measured by diffusion model parameters – differ based on whether or not they were instructed that they could change their response after their initial response. Across two experiments, our results consistently indicate that allowing for changes of mind does not influence initial responses, with Bayesian analyses providing at least moderate evidence in favour of the null in all cases. Our findings suggest that explicit double responding paradigms should generalise to standard paradigms, validating the use of explicit double responding in future rapid decision-making studies.
Children’s Questions and Teachers’ Responses about the COVID-19 Pandemic in Turkey and the United States
Authors: Unlutabak Burcu , Hernandez Graciela Trujillo , Velioglu Ilayda , Menendez David , Rosengren Karl S.
Published: October 2022

With the resumption of face-to-face classes in schools, children have begun to ask questions about the COVID-19 outbreak not only to parents but also to teachers. However, there has not been any research examining children’s questions and teachers’ responses about the Covid-19 pandemic. The study examined 3-12-year-old children’s questions and teachers’ responses about the Covid-19 pandemic in two sociocultural contexts: Turkey and the United States. A total of 119 teachers from Turkey and 95 teachers from the United States participated in the study. Teachers completed an online survey consisting of a demographic form and a questionnaire asking them to report three questions about Covid-19 asked by children in their classrooms and their responses to these questions. We analyzed children’s questions and teachers’ responses for their type and content. We also examined whether demographic factors were associated with children’s questions and teachers’ responses. Consistent with the literature, children in the Turkish sample asked fewer explanation-seeking (i.e., why/how) questions than children in the US sample. Children asked questions about virus and precautions to teachers and teachers responded to children’s questions realistically in both cultures. We discuss these findings in relation to similarities and differences across cultures in children’s question-asking behavior when acquiring knowledge.
Change in the psychological self in people living with dementia: a scoping review
Authors: Mentzou Aikaterini , Sixsmith Judith , Ellis Maggie P. , Ross Josephine
Published: October 2022

Alternations in one’s sense of self are often considered a significant psychological symptom of dementia. However, the self is not a unified construct; it consists of a set of closely connected, yet substantive, manifestations which might not be equally impacted by dementia. Recognising the multidimensional nature of the self, the current scoping review aimed to explore the nature and scope of the evidence demonstrating change in the psychological self in people living with dementia. A hundred and five (105) quantitative and qualitative studies were reviewed, and findings were organised into three main types of self-manifestations: high-order manifestations, functional aspects of the self, and foundational manifestations. Overall, the results show that although there are alterations in some of these different manifestations of the self, these do not imply a global loss of selfhood. Despite notable cognitive changes during dementia, it seems that preserved aspects of self are enough to compensate for potential weaking of some self-processes such as autobiographical recall. Better understanding alterations in selfhood is key to addressing psychological symptoms of people living with dementia, such as feelings of disconnection and reduced agency, as well as to inform new pathways for dementia care interventions.

Authors: Haunberger Sigrid , Gollner Johannes
Published: October 2022

In diesem Beitrag wird die ‚What Works‘-Debatte in der Sozialen Arbeit um die zentrale Frage nach Wirkfaktoren erweitert. Der empirische Nachweis von Wirkfaktoren in sozialarbeiterischen Interventionen ist bis heute ein Desiderat. Vor dem Hintergrund der Realist Evaluation werden in diesem Beitrag relevante Wirkfaktoren (Kontexte und Mechanismen) herausgearbeitet. Datengrundlage stellt eine Onlinebefragung von 200 fallführenden Fachpersonen in vier sozialarbeiterischen Handlungsfeldern in der deutschsprachigen Schweiz dar (Arbeitsintegration, Bewährungshilfe, Schuldnerberatung, Sozialhilfe). Die Ergebnisse verweisen auf signifikante Wirkfaktoren von erfolgreichen Interventionen, u.a. Arbeitsstile der Fachpersonen und Verhaltensmerkmale der Klient(inn)en und können in einem allgemeinen Wirkungsmodell mit handlungsfeldübergreifenden Outcomes verdichtet werden. Diese Erkenntnisse leisten einen Beitrag zur Professionalisierung der Sozialen Arbeit sowie zur Konstruktion von Wirkungsmodellen und sollen zukünftige weitere Forschungsvorhaben in diese Richtung anregen.

Authors: Azhara Ratu Raisya Aghnia , Kartini Dede Sri
Published: October 2022

The whole world was shocked by the Covid-19 pandemic. Broadly speaking, the Covid-19 virus has had several effects on education in Indonesia, which can be divided into two categories, both positive and negative. Talking about education, education is a field that can be categorized as important in people's lives, especially in developing Human Resources (HR) in Indonesia. With the existence of education, the next generation will be filled with individuals who are outstanding, intelligent, and useful for the homeland and nation. Therefore, with the spread of the Covid-19 virus, the government in Indonesia is expected to be able to provide an essential and beneficial role for the people in Indonesia. This study aims to determine the role of the government in dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic in the education sector. This research uses qualitative research, by conducting literature studies and documentation studies. This study found that the government's role in dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic in the education sector is in line with government functions: 1) Service functions: Provision of Quota Subsidies, Providing BOP and BOS, Teacher Sharing Platforms, Formation of Emergency Curriculum, Formation of Independent Curriculum, and SKB. 2) Empowerment Function: The government provides an Independent Learning program. 3) Development Function: the government builds hard infrastructure, either in the form of satellite, broadband, or tower so as to improve connectivity.
Digitalization of Government Think Tanks in Nigeria
Authors: Adewumi Adeyinka Patrick
Published: October 2022

The shift to industry 4.0, characterized by advanced technologies, necessitates government agencies' digital transition, presently at a marginal level in Nigeria, of which policy think tanks are also victims.  Think tanks in Nigeria are saddled with the responsibility of producing policy recommendations through research in response to vast and intricate societal problems. These responsibilities, given global technological advancements and its relevavnce to policy research require technological aid to probe and suggest accurate, responsive policy advice to the government. To this end, this paper aims to examine the state of digitalization and re-echo the need for the digital transition of skills, personnel, and equipment at the Nigerian Institute of Social and Economic Research (NISER) to enable the production of solution-oriented outputs through which responsive policy recommendations can be made. This study relies on a descriptive methodology, using primary and secondary data from information gathered from the Institute through participant observation and in-depth interviews and the internet. The findings reveal that in NISER, there is growing adoption and transition towards digital transformation; however, there are still concerns about the practicability of the process, which as a result, impedes general productivity. This study recommends digital investment through adequate finance and digital infrastructure support from the government into NISER to reap the benefits of improved productivity and efficiency.
PECULIARITIES OF EVALUATING EDUCATIONAL ACHIEVEMENTS OF STUDENTS WITH A LOW LEVEL OF MOTOR ACTIVITY IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLASSES
Authors: Boyko G. L. , Kozlova T. G.
Published: October 2022

The article examines the peculiarities of evaluating educational achievements in physical education classes of students with a low level of motor activity. Ways to increase the level of motor activity in physical education classes in higher education institutions are considered. It was determined that students of higher education institutions in physical education classes with a low level of motor activity have a significantly lower success rate when performing physical exercises than students with a high and medium level of motor activity. Therefore, in order to improve educational achievements and increase motivation, we have developed criteria for evaluating students taking into account the level of their motor activity and physical fitness. In order to solve this problem, experts suggest using, in addition to planned training classes, additional classes under the guidance of teachers in sports sections, independent physical training, as well as promoting the development of independence and activity of students by participating in sports and health activities during extracurricular and vacation periods. However, in order to conduct independent classes, students need to have certain health control skills, the dynamics of the development of physical qualities and motor skills, as well as special knowledge for the correct and adequate assessment of the results of classes with subsequent correction of various characteristics of motor activity. Thus, there are contradictions between the increased need to intensify the mental work of students in the modern educational space and insufficient motor activity of young people in the process of learning in institutions of higher education.

The current state of health of students is analyzed in the article. The influence of independent physical exercises on the formation of students' health culture was determined. The concept of "health culture" is revealed and its influence on the motivation and morpho-functional state of those who practice is determined. The necessity of applying new approaches to the formation of health culture among students in physical education classes is substantiated. After all, it is the general structure of the value world of the young generation, the trends of its development and the level of interest in health issues that are the basis of the future of Ukraine. It was established that a culture of health formed in time has a positive effect on the level of physical fitness, motivation of student youth and their psycho-emotional state. In modern conditions, the importance of health is significantly rethought taking into account the understanding of it as an inalienable human right, from the point of view of existing threats and challenges, growing demands for the quality of health, technological and financial possibilities of its provision. The state of a person's health depends not only on biological factors, the environment and social environment, but also on whether a person's own health is valuable to him. This determines to what extent a person is ready to take care of him, to follow a healthy lifestyle, to a large extent, to be aware of the factors that determine the state of health.

The article analyzes the state of research on the problem of physical fitness of elder preschool children. The purpose of the study is to analyze the indicators of physical fitness of elder preschool children under the influence of physical education classes. Research methodology: analysis and generalization of scientific and methodical sources on the topic of research, pedagogical observation, pedagogical experiment, determination of indicators of physical fitness, method of mathematical statistics in the process of processing research results. The study was conducted on the basis of the preschool education institution (nursery- kindergarten) of the combined type No. 14 "Malva" of the Zaporizhzhya City Council. 24 boys and 22 girls of senior preschool age took part in the study. In terms of health, all children who participated in the study belong to the main group. During the research, changes in indicators of physical fitness of elder preschool children under the influence of physical education classes were analyzed. The obtained research results proved that the elder preschool age is the most favorable for the development of physical qualities. Based on the received empirical material, the quantitative analysis of the results established that the indicators of physical fitness of children improved during the research period and experienced a significant growth. The exceptions are the indicators of flexibility development in boys ("Torse forward tilt") and speed ("Running at a distance of 10 m"), where the differences are unreliable (p>0.05). It has been proven that physical education classes had a positive effect on changes in indicators of physical fitness of elder preschool children.

The article analyzes the angular characteristics of football players of different qualifications in the limiting phases of the kick with the middle part of the foot lifting on a stationary ball. Thanks to the use of such research methods as: theoretical analysis and generalization of data of special scientific and methodological literature, pedagogical observation, anthropometry method, video recording, biomechanical analysis of the kinematic structure of motor actions, methods of mathematical statistics, objective data were obtained. The angles of the knee, hip, shoulder, elbow joints involved in the execution of the blow are considered. Their quantitative values, changes and differences between them at the beginning and at the end of the study were determined. It is established that the angular characteristics of the knee, hip and elbow joints in the micro-phase of the stance of the supporting leg of the preparation phase have statistically significant differences at the level of p≤0.05. Also in the micro-phase impact movement of the working phase there are statistically significant differences at the level of p≤0.05 in all four corners analyzed by us. Having received the above presented data we have developed methodical recommendations for football players of low qualification at different moments of impact by the middle part of the foot lifting on a stationary ball based on the program-target principle of organization of the training process. The comparative analysis of quantitative angular characteristics of sportsmen of high qualification and football players of low qualification after the introduction of our methodical recommendations did not reveal any significant differences in the angles, and at the beginning of the study there were significant differences in 8 angles. This indicates the positive impact of our methodological recommendations.

A theoretical analysis of the problem of implementing health systems in the physical education of preschool children with the aim of improving their health was carried out. Scientists have noticed that it is advisable to use modern physical culture and health technologies for a productive solution to the health-improving tasks of physical education of preschool children. The use of modern technologies for improving the health of children becomes effective under certain conditions, namely: mastering by teachers of such technologies that have motor actions that include various proprioceptors and activate in a complex all the organs and systems of the children's body, their analyzers and contribute to the formation of basic program motor skills and skills, i.e. physical education; creation of a health-preserving environment in physical education classes. Well-known healthcare systems can be conditionally divided into modern and traditional. The content of wellness systems, as a rule, can consist of blocks of physical exercises, breathing exercises, music therapy, dance exercises, hardening exercises, etc. the successful implementation of the health-improving orientation of physical education lessons in a modern school will be facilitated by the use of health-improving systems. The purpose of all health technologies is to teach children to use the acquired knowledge in everyday life and to form in them all the necessary skills, abilities and knowledge about a healthy lifestyle. Health systems contribute to improving the quality of the pedagogical process, its modification, tolerance and flexibility.

As a result of the study, the problems related to children's health, the need to reorient the content of the teaching methods to the health-improving effect and the formation of valeological skills, as well as the expansion of the use of health- improving systems in the physical education of children in preschool education institutions are outlined.

The effectiveness of the use of health-improving systems in various forms of physical education of preschool children has been established and experimentally confirmed. At the end of the pedagogical experiment, the functional indicators of the cardiovascular (according to heart rate, blood pressure, functional test of Martine-Kushelevsky, endurance coefficient, index of functional changes according to R.M. Baevsky) and respiratory system improved in both girls and boys (tests Stange-Henchi, vital capacity of the lungs, Skibinsky index). According to the state of physical health (methodology T.Yu. Krutsevich) at the end of the study, a positive redistribution of boys and girls from lower to higher levels was found.

A healthy lifestyle is one of the most important factors affecting a person's tone and is reflected in many indicators of a person's health, physical, mental, sexual and social state. Physical exercises, good rest, full sleep, proper nutrition, a system of preventive measures, a healthy lifestyle are the basic components of health as such. As you know, 50% of a person's health depends on their lifestyle, for example, women who lead a sedentary lifestyle with insufficient physical activity often have certain somatic problems.

It is advisable to use elements of aerobics and fitness in classes on physical culture or therapeutic physical culture. After all, this has a significant impact on the organization of active recreation and psychological relief after heavy loads of any nature.

This article examines issues related to the use of aerobics in physical education classes with middle-aged women. The practical experience of trainers of the educational and sports complex of the State Tax University in the field of aerobics and fitness was analyzed and summarized. The study was conducted over a period of 4 months (June-September 2022). The research participants were (n=30) women aged 35-45 years. Of which the control group included (n=15) and the experimental group (n=15). The main indicators for the study were the following tests: anthropometric indicators, indicators of the level of functional status and control exercises (bending the arms in a stop, standing on the knees, tilting the body to the sides from a standing position, raising the body from a position lying on the back, holding the legs at an angle of 45° in a supine position). During the study, there were positive changes in the main indicators in the control and experimental groups. But the method proposed by us for organizing and conducting health aerobics and fitness classes with middle-aged women provided more constructive changes in their functional indicators, the development of physical qualities (strength indicators) and self- organization in the management and control of subjective indicators (well-being, sleep, appetite, working capacity) and objective research data (weight, pulse, blood pressure).
