Exercise As Therapy for Gestational Diabetes: Whats the

Evidence?

ABSTRACT:Men and women differ greatly in their physiology; they are able to
undertake different types and levels of activity, and also respond differently
physiologically to aerobic and anaerobic exercise. Women have an additional
capacity for pregnancy and their ability to undergo significant physiological
change in a short period of time. They are, however, subject to further conditions
that men are not susceptible to, such as gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). This
review will aim to analyse the recent literature regarding exercise and GDM and
determine whether exercise can reduce the risk of developing GDM and any
potential sequelae. Despite there being a lack of clear consensus on the subject,
exercise is a useful adjunct in the treatment of gestational diabetes and may
attenuate some of its more harmful sequelae.

State University, Kirov, Russia.

ABSTRACT:
The purpose of the article is to get and summarize the data obtained in the new study,
namely the change in the indicators of the functional state of 11-12 year-old players
having different typological peculiarities of the nervous system. The leading methods to
research this problem are ascertaining and formative pedagogical experiment, theoretical
analysis and summarizing of methodological literature and methods of mathematical
statistics. The result is a change in the indicators of the functional status of 11-12 year-old
children who play football, after using the methodology of the differential development
of coordination abilities of players 11-12 years with different typology of the nervous
system. Conclusion the article can be useful for improving the outdated forms of
coachs training and instructors in football and other sports, and also can be used in the
training process of football players with different skills. The urgency of the theme is
caused by the search of modernization of training process in football reserve, which
would increase the functional status of the children and improve their results in football.
KEY WORDS: functional status, football, nervous system, differentiated development,
typology.

ABSTRACT:
Purpose: Allometry is a method of expressing the relationship between physiological and
anatomical variables, which can be used in order to measure the vital capacity through
mathematical equations. This study investigated the evaluating lung function indices in
order to estimate the maximal aerobic power by respiratory gas analysis device and the
allometric equation. Methods: This study is a descriptive from correlation type, 80
subjects were chosen by convenience sampling. Anthropometric characteristics and
dimensions of chest circumference (diameter and depth of the chest) were measured, and
Bruce Test was used in order to measure maximal aerobic power. Pearson correlation
coefficient and multivariate regression analysis were performed using SPSS version 16.
Results: There is a positive significant relationship between vital capacity and maximal
aerobic power (r=0.229 and P=0.041) and between the amounts of the device vital
capacity and formula vital capacity(r=1.00 and P=0.00). Accordingly, the following
model was developed (chest circumference 0.284) + (age 0.319) + (vital capacity
1.761) + incline = Maximal Oxygen Consumption. Conclusion: According to the results
of this study, there is a significant correlation between device vital capacity and formula
vital capacity. Thus, it can be concluded that in order to gain predict of the maximal
oxygen consumption, in the absence of accessibility to other experimental methods,
allometric equation can be used.

ABSTRACT:
Objectives: The purpose this study was to investigate the effects of different
vascular occlusion levels (total occlusion (TO), partial occlusion (PO) or free flow
(FF)) during intermittent isometric handgrip exercise (IIHE) on the time to failure
(TF) and the recovery of the maximum voluntary isometric force (MVIF), median
frequency (EMGFmed) and peak of EMG signal (EMGpeak) after task failure.
Methods: Thirteen healthy men (21 1.71 year) carried out an IIHE until the
failure at 45% of MVIF with TO, PO or FF. Occlusion pressure was determined
previously to the exercise. The MVIF, EMGFmed and EMGpeak were measured
before and after exercise. Results: TF was significantly different (p < 0.05) among
all investigated conditions: TO (150 68s), PO (390 210s) and FF (510 240s).
The MVIF was lower immediately after IIHE, remaining lower eleven minutes
after failure in all cases (p <0.05), when compared to pre exercise. There was a
greater force reduction (p <0.05) one minute after the failure in the PO (-
45.8%) and FF (-39.9%) conditions, when compared to TO (-28.1%). Only the PO
condition induced lower MVIF (p <0.05) than in the TO, eleven minutes after the
task failure. PO induced a greater reduction in EMGFmed compared TO and greater
increase in EMGpeak, when compared to TO and FF (p <0.05). Conclusions: TO
during IIHE lead to a lower time to failure, but a faster MVIF recovery, while the
PO seems to be associated to a slower neuromuscular recovery, when compared to
other conditions.
