Introduction: The goal of our study was to identify and compare impact of specific dual focus of concen tration known in Goju - ryu school as a system of KZR (closed hands kata) - heishu, conce ntration inside the body versus KOR (open hands kata) - kaishu, conce ntration outside of the body . Method: . St udysample consisted of Karate Dojo Pivovarník karateka from Hanušovce nad Topľou, Slovak republic (n=7, 6 m en and 1 woman), all of them were holders of at least . 1 st . Dan maste r grade, they were able to practice in dual focus. We h ave compared the trainings performed by both system s KZR vs. KOR while respecting relatively identical co nditions. At the same time we observed physiologi cal, biochemical and somatic indicators. P articipants completed a questionnaire , consent form and filled out personality questionna ire . The data were evaluated with statistical programs MS Excel, SPSS Statistics, bio chemical results were obtained in laboratory Synlab Sl ovakia s.r.o, Prešov and the data were ca lculated by Dorste, Planta  14  . To determine the significance of difference s at entrances and exits KZR vs. KOR we used the Mann - Whitne U – test and Wilco xon test . S tatis tical significance was set at (p < 0. 01 , p < 0.05). Result: We assumed that the dual concentration will not ca use any significant differences from training KZR com pare to KOR. However, that was not confirmed. We have detected several statistically significant physiological biochemical and somatic differences. Summary: Our results po int to the possibility of efficiency gains and prediction in g training (performance, i ntensity etc. ). Nevertheless, this pilot study does not allow the results to be generalized for relatively small sample size , and the number of such studies, in spite of thisour study points out the high potential and possible future objectification.

Food addiction is today the major cause of disease and death in our society and other economically developed countries. Hypothetically, this problem could be solved by simply convey the consequences of overeating to professionals and public. In reality though, it has been greatly difficult to successfully execute prolonged dietary restriction regimens. In context of the non - ability of many peop le to reduce their food intake, research pursuit are in progression to identify ways to alternatively reduce food intake or imitating the beneficial effects of dietary restriction using medical products, dietary supplements and gene therapies. Although all cells in the body require energy to last and perform efficiently, excessive calorie intake over long period of time can modify cell function and promote susceptibility to disease. In this review article we describe evidence suggesting that intermittent fa sting (IF), can prolong the health through multiple interactive pathways and molecular mechanisms, all of which help cells cope with stress and resist disease. A better understanding of the impact of IF on the health will likely lead to novel approaches fo r preventing and treating numerous health disorders.
