Introduction Hip osteoarthritis manifests itself with pain, limitation of the range of motion, weaker muscles and pathological gait pattern. Total hip arthroplasty is a treatment of choice which leads to pain relief and improvement in patients' functioning. The aim of the work was to assess the influence of total hip arthroplasty on the reduction in patients' disability. Material and methods The study group included 30 patients aged 62.53 ± 12.79. Mean body height was 168.03 ± 8.83 cm, while mean body mass was 78.47 ± 12.86 kg. Patients were examined twice, i.e. before the surgery and three months post surgery. In order to assess disability levels, two scales were applied, i.e. Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) and modified Harris Hip Score (HHS). Results Total hip arthroplasty significantly reduced the patients' disability. Prior to the surgery, the mean results of HHS were at the level of 37.07 ± 14.47 points. After the surgery, the patients scored 74.93 ± 24.12 points. In WOMAC, the study participants scored an average of 61.7 ± 20.82 points before the surgery and 19.78 ± 26.31 points after the surgery. No correlations of the respondents' BMI and the duration of pain with the level of improvement resulting from the surgical treatment were noted either in HHS or in WOMAC. A positive correlation was found between the age of the respondents and the level of improvement in HHS. Conclusions Total hip arthroplasty significantly reduced the patients' disability three months after the surgery. No correlations of the respondents' BMI and the duration of pain with the level of improvement in their physical fitness were noted.

Introduction : The study of athletes’ psychophysiological characteristics is one of the major problem at sports science. The aim of the study is to perform comparative analysis of athletes’ power and adaptive capacities during the implementation process of controlled activity, like performing screen -selection activity. Materials and methods: I n research participated divided into 3 groups martial arts athletes: taekwon -do ITF and karate WTF (n=34); Greco -Roman and freestyle wrestling athletes (n=18); sambo and judo athletes (n=11). As a device, a tablet of Apple company - iPad, fourth- generation, with 9,7 -inch screen was used. For the heart rate (HR) registration it was used BT4.0&ANT+ Heart Rate Mo nitor. Participants performed a sample: the response rate of the selection. The attempt was to react to one given signal from the five proposed. Results: Taekwon -do ITF athletes, karate WTF , hand -to - hand combat showed the best reaction selection time rates . The worst reaction selection time rates were shown by Greco- Roman and freestyle wrestling athletes. Conclusions: The handled comparative analysis reaction time of selection for athletes of different kinds of martial arts has verified its high informative value. Taekwon -do ITF, karate WTF , hand -to -hand combat athletes have better results. The results suggest that participants’ state of adaptiveness was normal. The high informative value of used test allows recommend it as screening in the selection of prom ising athletes to the combat martial arts which mostly emphasize striking techniques.

The purpose of the study was to analyze the psychophysiological characteristics of football players and water sports athletes as factors of professional selection. Materials and methods: The study involved students of a specialized sports school (n = 31, age: 16-17 years). The participants were divided into two groups: group 1 - 20 football players, group 2 - 11 water sports athletes (swimming). The level of sportsmanship is 1 category, Candidates and Masters of Sports. Tests applied: determination of the duration of an individual minute (IM), measuring of a 10 cm segment (SM), determination of simple hand-eye coordination (SHEyC), and simple hand-ear coordination (SHEaC), the technique of “Figures memorizing”, solution of 10 sums. Results: The results of the IM test reflect the prevalence of the earlier test completion. All participants indicated a lower value in 9th test of a segment measuring. The results of the SHEyC and SHEaC of the participants were similar. The results of all tests were less than 10 in the test of “Figures memorizing”. Football players revealed link between coordination and psychophysiological tests results, while swimmers revealed link between coordination and sensory type of tests. Conclusions: The carried out psychophysiological analysis of athletes' condition of team sports and water sports confirmed the possibility of applying these tests for selection. The results obtained reflect the specific influence of the sport on the athletes' bodies. These indicators demonstrate the increased requirements for spatial orientation, the importance of reaction to auditory stimuli and the increased ability of football players to control the surrounding space and control the game situation.

Wstęp: Długotrwałe odczuwanie bólu oraz cierpienie nim wywołane powodują liczne zaburzenia fizyczne, psychiczne oraz społeczne, i może być czynnikiem ograniczającym sprawność funkcjonalną. Cel: Ocena wpływu relaksacji na natężenie bólu i sprawność fizyczną chorych cierpiących z powodu bólu przewlekłego. Materiał i metody. Badania przeprowadzone zostały w grupie 45 osób, 23 kobiet i 22 mężczyzn, między 60 a 80 r. ż, cierpiących z powodu bólu przewlekłego. Grupę badaną podzielono losowo na 3 podgrupy: chorzy uczestniczący w 2-tygodniowym treningu relaksacyjnym i procesie fizjoterapii, chorzy stosujący tylko zabiegi fizjoterapeutyczne oraz grupa kontrolna, uczestnicząca w procesie fizjoterapii wraz z placebo (rozmowa z osobą prowadzącą trening relaksacyjny, bez jego stosowania). Natężenie bólu oceniane było skalą VAS, dwukrotnie w ciągu dnia, przed i po zastosowanych interwencjach (relaksacja, fizjoterapia, placebo – rozmowa). Sprawność badano testem Rikli-Jones, w pierwszym i ostatnim dniu badań. Wyniki: Analiza statystyczna wykazała zmniejszenie się natężenia bólu we wszystkich badanych grupach. W pierwszym dniu największy spadek natężenia zauważalny był w grupie relaksacji (61%), natomiast w ostatnim dniu najistotniejsze zmniejszenie średniego natężenia bólu wystąpiło w grupie relaksacji i fizjoterapii (49,4% i 44,2%). W pierwszej próbie testu Rikli-Jones wykazano istotne skrócenie czasu wykonania próby w grupie relaksacji (9,9%). W próbach oceniających wytrzymałość dolnej i górnej oraz gibkość górnej części ciała, najistotniejszą poprawę uzyskano w grupie fizjoterapii (odpowiednio 17,5%, 15,2%, 13,6%). Wnioski: Uzyskano istotne statystycznie obniżenie intensywności bólu, które było niezależne od zastosowanych metod jego uśmierzania. Nie wykazano istotnych różnic zmian sprawności fizycznej w zależności od dodatkowego dołączenia interwencji relaksacyjnej do fizjoterapii.

Introduction: The objective of this study was to demonstrate the dependence between relaxation as a part of multidisciplinary pain treatment, pain intensity and a patient’s functional state.Material and methods: The study was conducted among 45 pain patients, 23 women and 22 men, aged 60-80. The studied participants were randomized into three groups, each consisting of fifteen persons, of an almost equal divide between men and women. The first group participated in relaxation training and standard physiotherapy, the second group experienced only standard physiotherapy, while the control group was exposed to placebo treatment – talks with a relaxation trainer, without training and standard physiotherapy. Pain intensity was measured on the VAS scale, on every day of the study, twice a day: before and after activities. The functional state was measured by means of the Rikli-Jones test at the beginning of observations and after a two-week period.Results: The study showed a pain intensity decrease in all the examined groups. An important decrease in intensity was observable on the first day in the relaxation group (61%), however, on the final day a decrease in pain intensity was noted in the relaxation and physiotherapy group (49.4% and 44.2% respectively). On the first attempt of using the Rikli-Jones test there was shown a marked reduction in the time needed for test realization in the relaxation group (9.9%). In tests evaluating the endurance levels of the upper and lower limbs as well the flexibility of the upper body, the most important improvement was noted in physiotherapy group (accordingly 17.5%, 15.2%, 13.6%).Conclusions: A statistically significant reduction in the intensity of pain was achieved, which was independent of the methods employed for its alleviation. There were not shown to be significant differences in physical fitness changes as a result of the addition of relaxation intervention to physiotherapy treatment.
