Introduction: Motorcycles in Poland become more and more popular also as convenient means of transport, especially in large cities. Factors influencing on driver during riding the motorcycle are assumed to cause spinal pain in motorcyclist. These factors may vary in motorcycles of different construction or purpose. Few information is available about spinal pain connected with riding a motorcycle. The aim of this study was the assessment of occurrence and intensity of spinal pain in motorcyclists depending on motorcycle type. Material and methods: The study group consisted of 2,124 motorcyclists aged 19-79 yrs., using motorcycle with an engine size bigger than 50 ccm and participating in minimum 1 riding season. An original, on-line available questionnaire composed of questions regarding riding a motorcycle and ailments of all parts of the spine was used. The results underwent statistical analysis using the Statistica 10.0. Results: The results showed that 58.4% respondents experienced pain of at least one part of spine during riding the motorcycle. The biggest percentage (51.1%) of persons with spinal pain in general was found out in cross/enduro type users. Neck pain was significantly connected with riding the sport motorcycle (p=0.001). Conclusions: Spinal pain in motorcyclists depends on the motorcycle type.

Background: Body & mind trainings are forms of aerobics, the aim of which, apart from improving physical fitness, is to additionally provide mental relaxation. The aim of this study was a comparison of physical and mental pro-health effects from practicing Hatha yoga, Pilates and bodyART. Material and methods: Our own self-assessment questionnaire was used assess the impact of selected forms of body & mind training on the physical and mental fitness of people regularly practicing the forms. A group of 81 women practicing Hatha yoga, Pilates or bodyART for a minimum of 2 workouts per week were qualified. Additional inclusion criteria involved at least a 2-month training period and not practicing the other sport disciplines in study period. Results: After regular body & mind training, significant beneficial changes involving primarily the reduction of joint pain and increased flexibility were subjectively noticed by the participants. Changes included a significant reduction of back pain for Hatha yoga and Pilates and reduction of knee pain and improvement of the sense of balance for bodyART. Conclusions: Practicing body & mind forms has a beneficial impact on the perception of psychophysical health, regardless of the type of training, while the bodyART form generally showed the greatest number of effects.

Introduction: Sprints combined with changes in direction and repeated lunges are the most frequent movements during a squash game. These motions overload the iliopsoas muscle which may cause a lot of microinjuries. Accumulating microinjuries combined with a lack of stretching exercises may lead to iliopsoas contracture. Aim of the study: Assessment of the frequency and degree of iliopsoas contracture in regular squash players. Material and methods: The experimental group comprised 25 regular squash players (minimum 2 years of playing at least twice a week) and 21 non-players (control group). A modified Thomas Test was used to assess iliopsoas contracture using goniometric and linear measurements. Results: Iliopsoas contracture was observed in 96% of the squash players and 66.7% of the non-players (p = 0.0089). The degree of muscle contracture in the goniometric measurement was greater in squash players than in the non-players in both the left (p = 0.0303) and right (p = 0.0007) iliopsoas muscles. There were no statistically significant differences in the linear measurement. Conclusions: There is a positive relationship between regularly playing squash and the frequency of iliopsoas contracture occurrence being significantly greater in squash players than in non-players.

Background. Myofascial release is becoming increasingly more and more popular method of soft tissue therapy. One of the forms of autotherapy is self-myofascial release by rolling the muscle with foam roller. Self-myofascial release with foam roller helps to improve flexibility of fascia and reduces muscular tension. The aim of the study was to examine whether series of rolling treatment, using foam roller, increases flexibility of the hamstrings and calf muscles. Material and methods. 20 young, healthy women (average age 21.1 years) were rolling the hamstrings and calf muscles (8 repetitions per muscle group) once a day for 7 days. Hip flexion and ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM) were measured before and after each session of rolling. Results. After seven sessions of rolling, significant increase of both ankle joints dorsiflexion ROM (p=0,0000) was demonstrated, as well as increase in both hip joints flexion ROM (p=0.000089). Conclusions. Rolling of the hamstrings and calf muscles using the foam roller, significantly affects ROM in the hip and ankle joints.

Wstęp. Rozluźnianie mięśniowo-powięziowe jest coraz powszechniej stosowaną metodą terapii tkanek miękkich. Jedną z form autoterapii jest rozluźnianie mięśniowo-powięziowe poprzez rolowanie mięśni przy użyciu rollera. Autorozluźnianie mięśniowo-powięziowe rolką umożliwia poprawę sprężystości powięzi oraz obniżenie napięcia mięśniowego. Celem badania było sprawdzenie czy po serii zabiegów rolowania przy użyciu rolki piankowej dojdzie do wzrostu elastyczności mięśni kulszowo-goleniowych oraz mięśni trójgłowych łydek. Materiał i metody. Badaniu poddanych zostało 20 młodych, zdrowych kobiet. Każda z badanych przez 7 dni, raz dziennie rolowała grupy mięśni kulszowo-goleniowych oraz mięśnie trójgłowe łydki (po 8 powtórzeń na daną grupę mięśniową). Zarówno przed, jak i po rolowaniu dokonano pomiaru zakresu zgięcia grzbietowego w stawach skokowych oraz zgięcia w stawach biodrowych. Wyniki. Po siedmiu sesjach rolowania wykazano istotny wzrost zakresu zgięcia grzbietowego w obu stawach skokowych (p=0,0000) oraz wzrost zakresu zgięcia w stawach biodrowych (p=0,000089). Wnioski. Rolowanie tylnych grup mięśni kończyn dolnych przy użyciu rolki piankowej istotnie zwiększa zakres ruchomości w stawach skokowych i biodrowych.
