The knowledge of grape and wine is as old as the cultural history of mankind. Moderate consumption of wine can be beneficial in healthy individuals. It is also known from ancient times that it can cause acute and chronic damage when consumed in great quantities. The disinfectant effect of its use in ointments has been observed already in the antiquity. Polyphenols, among them resveratrol, have generated a great amount of scientific research due to their in vivo and in vitro antioxidant capabilities. For decades, red wine was thought to have beneficial effects on cardiovascular health. This relation was clearly established in the French Paradox phenomenon as well as in the Mediterranean diet. The French Paradox is defined as a low incidence of coronary heart disease, while consuming a diet rich in saturated fat. The cause of this phenomenon is the usually wine drinking in small quantity, supposingly in the consequence of polypenols in red wine. The use of ointments containing polyphenols of wine and the cosmetic treatments with them can be advantageous in the treatment and prevention of some diseases of the skin and the joints, due to its free radical scavenging effect. In healthy individuals the consumption of a moderate amount of 1 to 2 dl wine a day may reduce the mortality of cardiovascular diseases. However, also this quantity can be associated with detrimental effects in pregnant women, in children and in patients with various organic, particularly hepatic, diseases as well as in case of regular administration of certain medicines.

The purpose of the study was: 1) to determine the intensity of an indoor cycling session; 2) to know the correlation between the rating of perceived exertion (RPE) scales (Borg and OMNI) and % heart rate reserve (%HRR) with categories; and 3) to evaluate the validity of RPE scales (Borg and OMNI) with respect to the heart rate (HR) and %HRR. A total of fifty-three subjects, 25 males and 28 females (ages: 28.79 ± 6.04 years; body height: 1.71 ± 0.09 m; body mass: 69.59 ± 13.69 kg) were recruited from a private fitness club. All subjects performed the same predesigned indoor cycling session with a total duration of 50 minutes. During the experimental trial, the HR was recorded every 5 s. The Borg 6-20 RPE and OMNI 0-10 scales were used to assess perceived exertion in each phase. The average HR in the cardiovascular phase was 152.24 ± 14.11 b•min-1, the %HRR was 80.62 ± 7.10; and the overall RPE (Borg and OMNI scales) was 14.94 ± 1.11 and 7.18 ± 0.79 points, respectively. The correlation between an average HR and %HRR with Borg and OMNI scales was lower than r = 0.4 (p < 0.05). The correlation value between the Borg and the OMNI RPE scales was r = 0.82 (p < 0.001). It can be concluded that indoor cycling elicits effort of high intensity which could be inappropriate for some participants. The Borg and OMNI scales showed a low validity to quantify the intensity performed in indoor cycling sessions. It indicates the necessity to control the intensity of effort with other instruments to improve efficacy and decrease the risk of overload in this activity.

One of the methods of physical medicine which is used more and more frequently in wellness is whole-body cryotherapy (whole-body cryostimulation). It consists in stimulating the whole body surface by applying cryogenic temperatures (below -100°C) for a short time of 1–3 minutes. The eff ect of cryogenic temperatures on the whole body evokes in the human organism several, benefi cial physiological reactions such as analgesic, neuro-muscular, antiodematous and anti-infl ammatory eff ects as well as circulatory, hormonal and immunological reactions. Whole-body cryostimulation procedures also have a benefi cial infl uence on the human psyche through the action of relaxing and decreasing the level of anxiety.

Jedną z metod medycyny fi zykalnej, coraz częściej znajdującą zastosowanie w odnowie biologicznej, jest krioterapia (kriostymulacja) ogólnoustrojowa. Polega ona krótkotrwałym, bodźcowym stosowaniu temperatur kriogenicznych (poniżej -100°C), w krótkim czasie 1–3 minut na całą powierzchnię ciała pacjenta. Działanie temperatur kriogenicznych stosowanych ogólnoustrojowo wywołuje w organizmie człowieka wiele korzystnych reakcji fizjologicznych, takich jak: efekt przeciwbólowy, nerwowo- mięśniowy, przeciwobrzękowy, przeciwzapalny oraz krążeniowy, hormonalny i immunologiczny. Zabiegi kriostymulacji ogólnoustrojowej wykazują także korzystny wpływ na psychikę człowieka poprzez działanie relaksujące i obniżenie poziomu lęku.
