Introduction: Operations with the use of surgical robots have become an acceptable method of treating urological complaints. The question remains what the perioperative results look like compared to other methods, such as classical surgery or laparoscopy. The aim of the study is to summarize the current state of knowledge about the use of surgical robots in urology, provide information on the types of procedures that can be performed with their help, safety and results
Materials and methods: Literature review in databases: [Pubmed; science direct; google scholar]; searched using the words: [robotic surgery, surgical robots, BPH, robot, cystectomy, nephrectomy, retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy, prostatectomy,]. Publications from 2016 to 2023 were reviewed.
Results: Data from multiple publications were collected. Promising perioperative results of surgical robots have been shown. Blood loss, length of hospital stay, and complication rate are lower compared to other methods. Positive surgical margins occur with a similar frequency. The safety of performing operations with the use of surgical robots in patients after previous chemotherapy or radiotherapy has been proven. The duration of the operation is usually longer compared to other methods.
Conclusions: Performing surgery with the use of surgical robots is a promising method in urology. In many cases, perioperative outcomes are better. However, there is a lack of good quality studies conducted over a long period of time.

Oncofertility is an emerging field at the intersection of oncology and reproductive medicine that aims to address the fertility-related consequences of cancer treatment. Advances in cancer diagnosis and treatment have led to significant improvements in survival rates, but many cancer treatments can cause infertility or premature ovarian failure, which can have a profound impact on the quality of life and overall well-being of cancer survivors. Oncofertility seeks to provide patients with the opportunity to preserve their reproductive potential before undergoing cancer treatment, thus ensuring that they have options for starting a family after treatment. This field encompasses a range of approaches, including fertility preservation techniques. While oncofertility is still a relatively new field, it has already made significant strides in improving the quality of life for cancer survivors. However, there are still many challenges that must be addressed, including access to oncofertility services and the development of new and more effective techniques. This paper will explore the current state of oncofertility research and highlight some of the key challenges and opportunities in this important field.

Published: April 2023

BACKGROUND

Suicide attempts in elderly people has higher risk of mortality. The elderly are more vulnerable to depression and other psychological and social factors that may contribute to higher risk of suicide. Studies have suggested that suicide in elderly is strongly associated with depression and lack of social support. Factors that increase risk of suicide are also found to increase the risk for suicide ideation. Suicide ideation is an important predictor of suicide attempts and completed suicide.

Aims: Our study aims at estimating the prevalence of suicide ideation among mentally ill geriatric population and identifying potential predictors of suicide ideation among elderly.

METHODS

A cross-sectional study involving 50 persons with mental illness aged above 60 years and 50 persons with no previous psychiatric history. The was conducted at a tertiary psychiatric hospital. Geriatric Suicide Ideation Scale, Geriatric Depression scale and other psychopathology assessment tools were used.

RESULTS

The GSIS scores were significantly higher among those elderly persons with mental illness and the scores were higher in our study when compared to the community-dwelling elderly persons without psychiatric illness. It was observed that geriatric depression was an important predictor of suicide ideation followed by previous suicide attempt. The study also finds significant difference in the subscales of GSIS and we constructed an ROC for optimal cut-off point for the Indian population.

CONCLUSIONS

Geriatric suicide ideation is a less studied area with suicide ideation in elderly person with mental illness having various determinants and risk factors. It is for further research to identify feasible means of assessing suicide ideation among the elderly person receiving care from primary care physicians.

Authors: Mustafa Mohammed Salih  , Hussein Talib Mohsin
Published: April 2023

BACKGROUND

A recent upper respiratory tract infection is linked to the development of peri-operative respiratory complications. In this study we wanted to evaluate the effect of salbutamol premedication on the incidence of peri-operative respiratory adverse events in children with a recent upper respiratory tract infection (PRAE).

METHODS

A randomized clinical trial study that was conducted at the Children Welfare Teaching Hospital for a period of six months. It included 90 children aged ≤ 16 years who underwent a surgical operation under general anesthesia with a laryngeal mask airway or a tracheal tube and were divided into three groups; (had a recent URTI and received preoperative salbutamol, those who had a recent URTI and didn’t receive preoperative salbutamol, and those with no URTI group). The preferred outcome was the difference in the rate of occurrence of PRAE between children who had received salbutamol and those who hadn’t.

RESULTS

Four children with no URTI (13.3%) developed peri-operative respiratory adverse events. The incidence of bronchospasm and severe cough was significantly higher in patients with URTI and who didn’t receive preoperative salbutamol than in those with URTI who received preoperative salbutamol.

CONCLUSIONS

Preoperative salbutamol doses 10 – 30 minutes before surgery have been demonstrated to reduce and treat peri-operative respiratory adverse events.

Authors:   Novosibirsk State Pedagogical University, Zhafyarov Akryam Zhafyarovich
Published: April 2023

Introduction. The article is devoted to the triune system: 1) the selection of primary information about the problem under study; 2) the principle of comparing pairs of samples; 3) the criterion for determining a promising technology among competing ones. It is a continuation of the author’s previous research. The work is directly related to the research of samples in the field of experimental sciences and deals with education. Materials and Methods. The methodology for solving the problem of creating a triune system (selection - comparison - criterion) is a systematic analysis of the shortcomings of functioning criteria and the use of a cluster approach. Results. A mathematical complex (MC) has been developed containing the following components: matrix models that take into account the academic performance and personal development of students and allow to collect first–hand information about students’ activities; a new system for comparing the results of the application of innovations and the criterion of the author of QL: free from all the shortcomings of the predecessor criteria, with no restrictions on the number of students and categories; contributing to the identification of the best technologies among competing; reducing the volume of theory tenfold, which gives significant savings in time and finances, and its consistency attracts professionals. All this is achieved due to the fact that the QL criterion is two-parameter, unlike the one-parameter criteria, they do not have access to about 50% of the information about the problem under study. Conclusions The implementation of a mathematical complex in the scientific and educational processes not only contributes to the selection of an appropriate technology among competing ones, but also solves the problem of predicting the direction of changes in "improvement – deterioration" system. The transition to a single and consistent quality of life criterion enhances the accessibility and attractiveness of this criterion, does not frighten or repel teachers and academic staff– who are the main consumers of research results and active participants in the process of improving the quality of education.

Published: April 2023

The processing residue of Pterocarpus erinaceus was used to obtain an ethanol-extract, whose anti-fungal properties and mode of action was investigated using multi-omics principles and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The results showed that the decay resistance of the heartwood of Pterocarpus erinaceus was in Grade I; it showed strong decay resistance. The effective concentration of 70% ethanol extract of the heartwood of Pterocarpus erinaceus was 13.8%. It showed high inhibition against Coriolus versicolor and Gloeophyllum trabeum, and the content of the extract was positively correlated with the diameter of the inhibition zone. Transcriptomics analysis showed there were 93 genes differentially expressed in Gloeophyllum trabeum. Among them, 42 genes were up-regulated and 51 genes were down-regulated. These genes were mainly related to oxidoreductase activity, integral components of the membrane, carbohydrate metabolism, lipid metabolism, and other related Gloeophyllum trabeum life activities. In total, 31 substances were separated and observed using GC-MS, and their peak areas accounted for 91.8% of the total peak area. Of these, 16 substances including ketones, esters, amines, alkanes, olefins and aromatic compounds showed a relatively high content. Ketones accounted for the most abundance at 29.1%. These compounds may represent the main active components of antifungal and decay resistance.

Authors: Chai Haojie , Cai Lei , Xu Tao , Ma Yukun
Published: April 2023

Stress and strain monitoring is of great significance for wood drying. Using digital image correlation (DIC), this study measured displacement and strain changes during wood drying in real time. The results showed that when wood is dried below the fiber saturation point, the difference of the radial and tangential shrinkage ratio gradually increased. An analysis of tangential and radial shrinkage ratio revealed that in the early stage of drying, the tangential and radial shrinkage ratio was relatively flat; in the middle stage of drying, the shrinkage ratio began to gradually increase; and in the later stage of drying, the tangential shrinkage ratio was approximately twice as large as that in the radial direction. Further, regarding the tangential and radial strain distribution, the radial strain distribution was more scattered than that in the tangential direction. The radial strain distribution exhibited compressive strain on both ends of the specimen, and the tensile strain was in the center. The tangential strain distribution was tensile strain on the left side of the specimen and compression strain on the right. Overall, DIC is stable and reliable, and it can be used to monitor well the stress and strain changes during wood drying.

Published: April 2023

Chemical surface modification is one method for enhancing the mechanical and barrier properties of packaging paper. The NaOH/urea solvent system has been deemed an effective, inexpensive, and cost-effective solvent for paper modification and cellulose dissolution due to its unique self-reinforcing qualities and the fact that it can be utilized on an industrial scale, although it is ineffective for porous paper and requires pre- or post-treatment. This study examined the influence of acid as a post-treatment on the surface modification of paper with NaOH/urea to improve properties relative to packaging uses. The results indicated that NaOH/urea modification on OCC as a semi-crystalline material did not result in materials with superior resistance and barrier qualities. While acid treatment increased tensile and burst strength and air permeability, it was ineffective at increasing tear strength. Properties of control, NaOH/urea treatment, and acidic post treatment papers were respectively 33.31, 29.4, and 37.46 mn/g in the tensile index, 1.7, 1.58, and 1.74 Kpa.m2/g in burst index, 9.94, 9.07 and 8.87 mn.m2/g in tear index, 2.04, 1.34 and 1.32 s-1 in smoothness, 37.2, 38.2 and 45.4 s in air resistance, and 77.5, 90.8 and 80.5 water absorption. Therefore, with or without acidic post-treatment, the sheets became hydrophilic.

Published: April 2023

Bacterial cellulose has superior physical and chemical properties, biocompatibility, and purity. However, the high production cost obstructs the common use of this polymer. This study investigated the efficiency of olive pomace, an important by-product of olive oil industry in Turkey, as a carbon source for Novacetimonas hansenii. Olive pomace pretreatment with 1% H3PO4 was followed by enzymatic hydrolysis. The maximal reducing sugar concentration upon enzymatic process was 9.3 g/L with 1 enzyme: 6 substrate (dry matter) ratio. After incubation in the growth media prepared with the obtained reducing sugar as carbon source, the highest bacterial cellulose production was 0.68 g/L. Structural analysis indicated that bacterial cellulose from the enzymatic media and the conventional Hestrin-Schramm medium possess similar characteristics. The present work provides a favourable method to reduce the cost of bacterial cellulose production.

Authors: Liu Guoshuai , Shi Kang , Sun Hui , Yang Biao , Weng Yunxuan
Published: April 2023

Hemicellulose from a wide range of sources and abundant reserves shows good biocompatibility, degradability, and renewability. Because of its low degree of polymerization and a large amount of hydroxyl groups, hemicellulose-based films exhibit low strength and tend to be hydrophilic, which hinders some potential applications. Therefore, hemicellulose-based films with improved strength and barrier properties are needed. In this study, nano-SiO2 was incorporated into polyvinyl alcohol/xylan matrix for the purpose of preparing an inorganic-organic hybrid composite film with elevated mechanical and barrier performance. The addition of nano-SiO2 can serve this purpose. A 1% nano-SiO2 loading resulted in an increase of contact angle of the composite film from 89.6° to 110.4°, an increase of the tensile strength from 11.2 to 14.8 MPa, and a decrease of oxygen permeability from 1.83 to 0.27 (cm3⋅µm)/(m2·d·kPa), which corresponds to a contact angle that was increased by 23%, tensile strength increased by 32%, and oxygen permeability decreased by 85%. These results indicated that the nano-SiO2 modified xylan film might have great application prospects as a barrier film in food packaging.

Published: April 2023

Despite the fact that cyberbullying is common on social media, only a few instruments have beendeveloped to assess cyberbullying tendencies in the social media context. The purpose of this study is to develop a Cyberbullying in Social Media Scale (CSMS) for cyberbullying perpetration. Participants are active social media users in Indonesia (n = 958) between the ages of 18 and 40. The Cronbach alpha reliability testing showed that CSMS had a high internal consistency (α =.852). Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that CSMS fit the one-factor model (χ² (54) = 154.891, p < 0.001, RMSEA = 0.044 [90% CI 0.036, 0.052], CFI = 0.906, TLI = 0.885, SRMR = 0.049). Convergent-discriminant validity testing method using the Big Five Inventory also showed that CSMS is valid in measuring cyberbullying perpetration in the social media context. The Cyberbullying in Social Media Scale (CSMS) is a developed unidimensional measurement tool that evaluates cyberbullying tendencies on social media. The CSMS has demonstrated reliability and validity, making it a valuable new instrument for screening and assessing levels of cyberbullying tendencies among young adults in Indonesia. As such, the scale has practical applications for guiding interventions and investigating cyberbullying behavior.

Published: April 2023

This study aimed to develop the Metacognitive Skills Assessment in a Research Proposal Writing Context (MSARPW), a multidimensional measure, based on student perspectives, for assessing metacognitive skills in thesis writing, and assess the instrument’s psychometric properties using item factor analysis (IFA) and multidimensional item response models. The 40-item MSARPW was administered to 602 Indonesian university students (Mage = 25.254 SDage = 6.854). The IFA showed that the two-dimensional factor structure of MSARPW was satisfactory; however, only 24 of the 40 items were found to fit the model. Multidimensional graded response models (MGRM) were applied to the subsequent 24-item MSARPW, which showed that one item (Item 4) did not satisfy the criteria. The estimated reliabilities of each subscale showed that the 23-item MSARPW has good internal consistency (0.891 and 0.902). To conclude, the 23-item MSARPW appears to be a valid and reliable tool for assessing metacognitive skills in the context of research-proposal writing among Indonesian university students.

A kórházi túlélést meghatározó tényezők a COVID–19-járvány 3. és 4. hulláma idején súlyos koronavírus-fertőzéssel intenzív osztályra felvett betegekben
Authors: Koller Ábel , Márkus Eszter , Ferenci Tamás , Nardai Gábor
Published: April 2023

Bevezetés: A COVID–19-pandémia során az intenzív osztályon
kezelt betegek halálozása, bár országonként eltérő, de mindenütt drámaian nagy
volt (20–60%). A rizikófaktorok azonosítása segítséget nyújt a betegség
patomechanizmusának megértésében, és támpontot ad a veszélyeztetett betegek
kiszűréséhez, a prognózis becsléséhez és esetleg a megfelelő kezelési modalitás
alkalmazásához is. Célkitűzés: Intenzív osztályunkra felvett
betegeken végzett vizsgálatunk a demográfiai és állapotsúlyossági faktorok
elemzése mellett a kezelési modalitás változásának hatását is vizsgálta a súlyos
állapotú fertőzött betegek kimenetelére a COVID–19-járvány 3. és 4. hullámában.
Módszer: Retrospektív, megfigyeléses vizsgálatban
rögzítettük a súlyos légzési elégtelenséggel, koronavírus-fertőzés miatt felvett
betegeink demográfiai, klinikai, kezelési és kimeneteli adatait.
Eredmények: Összesen 88 beteg adatait dolgoztuk fel. A
betegek 53%-a volt férfi, az életkor medián értéke 65 év, a medián BMI 29
kg/m2 volt. Nem invazív lélegeztetést 81%-ban, endotrachealis
intubálást 45%-ban, hasra fordítást 59%-ban alkalmaztunk. Vazopresszor-kezelésre
44%-ban volt szükség, szekunder infekció 36%-ban lépett fel. A túlélés 41%-os
volt. A túlélési rizikófaktorokat többváltozós modellezéssel is vizsgáltuk. Az
alacsonyabb életkor és APACHE II. pontszám mellett a nem diabeteses állapot járt
jobb túlélési eséllyel. A járvány során a betegek kezelése folyamatosan
változott – ennek hatásait is követtük. Igazolódott, hogy a kezelési protokoll
változása kedvező hatással volt a túlélésre (OR = 0,18 [95% CI: 0,04–0,76], p =
0,01976) még az APACHE II. pontszámra, nemre, BMI-re, két társbetegségre és két
gyógyszerre (remdesivir, tocilizumab) kontrollálva is.
Következtetés: A túlélés tekintetében az alacsonyabb
életkor és APACHE II. pontszám, illetve a diabetes hiánya volt kedvező tényező.
A kezdeti alacsony túlélési ráta (15%) a kezelési protokoll változása mellett
szignifikánsan emelkedett (49%). Közleményünk célja, hogy biztassunk minden
magyar intézményt saját adatainak közlésére, és ennek jegyében kezdeményezzük

Authors: Işıkgöz Mustafa Enes , Sezan Turan , Yüksel Abdullah
Published: April 2023

Background and Study Aim. In addition to their physiological effects, epidemics negatively affect the motivation of individuals by causing varying levels of psychosocial problems such as stress, fear, anxiety and depression. At this point, psychological resilience is considered as an important variable in reducing and preventing the psychological effects of epidemic anxiety. The main purpose of this study is to examine the mediating role of psychological resilience in the relationship between epidemic anxiety of physical education teacher candidates and their academic motivation.
Materials and Methods. The study group of the research, which was designed in the relational screening model, consists of 451 physical education teacher candidates. They are studying in the 4th grade of the Physical Education and Sports Teaching program of the universities. The data of the research was collected with “Personal Information Form”, “Epidemic Anxiety Scale”, “Academic Motivation Scale” and “Brief Psychological Resilience Scale”. Descriptive statistics techniques, correlation and regression analyzes were used to analyze the data. The PROCESS macro extension was used for mediation analysis.
Results. The mean score levels of physical education teacher candidates were 57.03±14.52 for epidemic anxiety, 92.74±15.72 for academic motivation, and 20.26±5.00 for psychological resilience. While epidemic anxiety predicted psychological resilience (95%CI [-0.168; -0.109], p<.001) negatively, psychological resilience predicted academic motivation positively in a significant way (95%CI [0.727; 1.331], p<0.01). When psychological resilience was included in the model, the overall effect of epidemic anxiety on academic motivation (95%CI [-0.083; 0.123], p>0.05) became insignificant. Psychological resilience has a mediating role in the relationship between epidemic anxiety and academic motivation.
Conclusions. Psychological resilience emerged as an essential variable in preventing the psychological effects of physical education teacher candidates regarding epidemic anxiety and increasing their academic motivation.

Authors: Kizilay Fatma , Burkay Tarık
Published: April 2023

Background and Study Aim. The menstrual cycle can be a factor affecting performance in female athletes if accompanied by pain. In this study, authors aimed to examine how menstruation pain affects kinesiophobia and fear avoidance behavior in female athletes.
Material and Methods. Study included a total of 50 female athletes aged 18-35 years. The athletes were divided into 3 groups as Group 1 (With Pain), Group 2 (No Pain) and Group 3 (Intermittent Pain) according to their pain experience during menstruation. The groups were compared in terms of kinesiophobia and fear avoidance behaviors. Kinesiophobia was evaluated with the Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale (TKS), fear avoidance behaviors were evaluated by using Fear Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ).
Results. There was a significant difference between the 3 groups in terms of both TKS and FABQ scores (p<0.05). In terms of TKS, there was no significant difference between Group 1 and Group 3 (p>0.05), there was a significant difference between Group 1 and Group 2 and between Group 2 and Group 3 (p<0.05). There was a significant difference in favor of Group 1 in all pairwise comparisons in terms of FABQ scores (p<0.05). Pain intensity was associated with TKS and FABQ.
Conclusions. A significant majority of female athletes experienced pain during menstruation, exhibited kinesiophobia and fear avoidance behavior due to pain. Since kinesiophobia and fear avoidance behavior can be a limiting factor for the athlete's optimum performance, female athletes should be supported in order for them to develop coping methods.

Authors: Arı Abdil , Öz Nazlı Deniz
Published: April 2023

Background and Study Aim. The main purpose of the study is to investigate whether the individual responsibility and empathy levels of athlete-students affect the level of social capital. The secondary purpose is to examine the social capital, empathy and individual responsibility levels of athlete-students in terms of various variables and to reveal the relationship between them. Material and Methods. In this context, "Social Capital Scale" , "Empathy Scale in Sports Environment"  and "Student Individual Responsibility Scale" were used as data collection tools. University students participating in sports competitions in the 2021-2022 academic year were included in the study on a voluntary basis. The inclusion criteria were determined as being both an athlete and a student, being over the age of 18 and being a competitor. A total of 284 (N female=110; N male=174) athlete-students who met these criteria participated in the study. Since the normal distribution conditions were met in the analysis of the data, independent t-test was used for pairwise comparisons, one-way anova for multiple comparisons, and pearson correlation test for relationship analysis. After the assumptions were met, linear regression test was used to determine the effect levels. Results. As a result of the study, all dependent variables were high in favour of men, and the variables were positively affected as age and years of experience increased. In addition, a positive and moderate relationship was found between the dependent variables. As the main result of the study, the effect rate was determined as 39% by the regression analysis conducted to evaluate empathy and individual responsibility as predictors of social capital. Conclusions. As a result, the concept of social capital, which expresses the continuity and sustainability of our life-related social relations, seriously affects the levels of empathy and social responsibility in the sample of athlete-students in the sports environment. It is thought that the studies to be carried out for the development of these skills will positively affect the concepts of safety, social communication and fair-play in sports.

Background and Study Aim. Physical fitness and psychological well-being of student-athletes had decreased significantly and became the main problem in this study. This study aims to investigate the effect of virtual reality-based Tabata training to increase the level of physical fitness and psychological well-being through a mixed method.

Material and Methods. This study used a mixed method. The participants involved in this study were student-athletes (n=40) at Singaperbangsa Karawang University (Indonesia). Quantitative instruments used to measure physical fitness include 20 m shuttle run, 30 m sprint run, horizontal jump and leg dynamometer. While the qualitative instrument used to measure student-athlete perceptions through in-depth interviews for 30 minutes. Quantitative statistical analysis through IBM SPSS was used to find the mean and standard deviation. Independent samples t-test was used to test the difference in values between the experimental and control groups before and after the experiment. Meanwhile, the Paired samples t-test was used to investigate the effect of this training, both in the experimental and control groups. Qualitative statistical analysis was carried out qualitatively thematically, namely the results of in-depth interviews were coded and categorized into three themes.

Results. There were several finding in quantitative research. First, there was no difference in physical fitness or psychological well-being between the experimental and control groups before the experiment (p>0.05). Second, there were differences in the values of physical fitness and psychological well-being between the experimental and control groups after the experimental program (p<0.05). Third, there was a significant effect in the experimental group on the level of physical fitness and psychological well-being (p<0.05) and the control group also showed an effect on changes in physical fitness and psychological well-being but smaller than the experimental group (p<0.05). In Qualitative research,  student-athletes provided positive perceptions about virtual reality-based Tabata training which was easy, efficient and effective, fun and encouraged them to be more active. Negative perceptions were not all student-athletes and universities were equipped with virtual reality facilities. It must carried out in a location or place that was completely safe or far from vehicles.

Conclusions. Our mixed study confirms that virtual reality-based Tabata training had positive effect to change the level of physical fitness and psychological well-being among student-athletes.

Authors: Megahed Mohamed , Tarek Zahraa
Published: April 2023

Background and Study Aim. This paper aims to compare the effects of two types of resistance training programs (suspension training and free weight training) on the explosive power, dynamic balance, and discus throwers performance.
Material and Methods. Twenty-four male discus throwers (with an average age: 19.17 ± 0.99 years; body mass: 99.87 ± 3.63 kg; height: 177.23 ± 3.16 cm) were assigned into three groups (eight subjects in each group); suspension training (STG), free weight training (FWTG) and control (CG). For eight weeks, subjects underwent training consisting of three sessions a week. Prior to and after the training period, explosive power, dynamic balance, and discus throwing distance variables were measured. The explosive power was measured using the medicine ball throw (SLJT) and standing long jump (MBTT) tests. The dynamic balance was measured using the Y excursion balance test (YBT). The discus throwing distance was measured according to the IAAF rules (DTT).
Results. The results showed that both experimental groups had a significant effect on MBTT, SLJT, and DTT compared to the control group. There was a significant difference in YBT favoring STG when compared to the FWTG and CG, and also, favoring FWTG when compared to CG in the three directions (anterior, posterolateral, and posteromedial). All three groups improved the tests from pre- to post-test.
Conclusions. We can conclude that suspension training and free weight training have created almost the same improvements in explosive power. Also, suspension training was more effective than free weight training for improving dynamic balance.

Background and study aim. Group fitness programs are a form of programmed physical exercises with the aim of improving health, aesthetic appearance, satisfying the motivation to preserve health and reduce body weight. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of an experimental cardio fitness program on the morphological status of female subjects aged 21.5 ± 3.5 years.
Material and methods. The experimental program was implemented over a period of three months (12 weeks), with a weekly frequency (3 x 20-60 min). Initial and final measurements were performed and Body weight, Body fat percentage, Body fat mass, Free fat mass, Body muscle mass, Body mass index and Basal metabolism rate were analyzed. All test subjects have their doctor's confirmation that they are healthy and can undergo training loads in a planned and clearly defined cardio program.
Results. The exercise program on cardio equipment caused changes in all body composition parameters between the initial and final measurements t-test (except for muscle mass). The total average Body weight at the initial-final measurement (66.45 vs. 64.70kg; t= 5.225, p<0.000), which represents a difference of -1.75kg after the program.
Conclusions. The assumption is that a controlled and monitored program with a special focus on nutrition would lead to even more precise results on the effects on body composition. Continuous application of the content of this program throughout the entire one-year macrocycle with a higher weekly frequency would certainly give even more significant results.
