Full textAbstract:
Multi-ingredients (MTN) are specialised dietary supplements containing macronutrients, micronutrients, amino acids, derivatives (e.g., L-Carnitine, β-HMB) or stimulants (e.g., caffeine) which may favour exercise performance. Depending on their unique formulation, MTN are ingested before (pre-workouts), during, or after (post-workout) training or competitions. Pre-workout formulations are designed to boost energy levels and acutely increase performance. On the other hand, post-workout supplements aim to accelerate recovery between sessions and maximise training outcomes (e.g., hypertrophy or strength enhancement) when regularly administered for several weeks. The revised literature seems to advocate for using both pre- and post-workout MTN to enhance exercise capacity and hasten post-exercise recovery under different training modalities (e.g., strength or endurance). The present commentary describes the most common ingredients including in pre-and post-workout MTN formulations. Additionally, recommendations for selecting appropriate MTN supplements are provided, along with guidelines for designing supplementation protocols based on amounts per kg of body mass of the most important ingredients, such as caffeine, in case of pre-workouts or protein, carbohydrates, and creatine for post-workouts.

Full textAbstract:
To evaluate the feasibility of on-site collection of subjective anxiety, autonomic nervous system activity, and salivary catecholamines surrounding high-intensity functional training (HIFT) competition, ten experienced HIFT competitors completed baseline assessments of anxiety and heart rate variability (HRV). Then, in two consecutive weeks (Workout 1 and 2) within the competition, HRV was recorded and examined in 5-min segments prior to exercise (PRE) and across a 30-min period after competitors completed their choice of the prescribed or scaled each workout. Subjective anxiety ratings and saliva samples were collected at PRE and immediately-(IP), 30-min (30P), and 60-min post-exercise (60P). Saliva samples were analyzed for concentrations of epinephrine and norepinephrine. Generalized linear mixed models with repeated measures revealed significant (p < 0.05) differences between workouts for all measures. Compared to Workout 1, anxiety (~50%), epinephrine (173–340%), norepinephrine (29–234%) were greater in Workout 2 and various HRV-derived indices were more depressed. Additionally, some HRV-derived indices appeared to be modulated (p < 0.05) by competitive level and sex at PRE and throughout the 30-min recovery period. These data suggest that autonomic activity may differ between the competitive and laboratory settings, and that the response may be further modulated by the workout’s design, the athlete’s sex, and competitive level.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Specific mood states were examined during the CrossFit Open, a consecutive 5-week fitness competition involving five separate CrossFit® workouts, to determine whether the unique design or strenuous workouts of the competition resulted in acute and/or chronic mood state alterations. Methods: Participants (n = 8) completed the Profile of Mood States (POMS) questionnaire one-week prior to the competition (baseline), prior to (PRE), immediately post (IP), 30-min post- (30P) and 60-min post-workout (60P) each week. Tension, depression, anger, confusion, fatigue and vigor were derived from the POMS, as was Total Mood Disturbance (TMD) and an Energy Index (EI). Results: Workout intensity exceeded 93% HRmax each week. No differences were observed between baseline and PRE-workout mood states across weeks, indicating little effect of the unique competition design. Significant (week x time) interactions were observed for TMD (p = 0.037), EI (p = 0.038) and fatigue (p = 0.005). Acute mood state fluctuations were consistent across each week, where mood states improved to and beyond PRE values 60-min post-workout. Conclusions: In competitors, the differences in workout design between each week did not influence mood states. This may be related to adaptation to this style of training, while the acute mood state alterations are likely due to the workout intensity.

Background and Study Aim. The combination of a sedentary lifestyle with low physical activity contributes to reduced quality of life and can be a cause of death. Changing a sedentary lifestyle habit, such as increasing physical activity, is a form of prevention against the emergence of health problems. This study aimed to investigate the impact of long-term high-intensity workouts on enhancing physical fitness in adolescent males. Material and Methods. The study included 25 male adolescents aged 19-23 years who were university students residing in Malang. The participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups: K1 (control group; n = 12) or K2 (high-intensity workout group; n = 13). The high-intensity workout intervention was administered three times per week for eight weeks. Physical fitness components, including VO₂max, speed, agility, strength, and flexibility, were measured twice: before and after the intervention. The data were analyzed via an independent samples t-test with a 5% significance level. Results. Significant improvements in VO₂max, strength, speed, and agility were observed in the high-intensity workout group (K2), while no significant changes occurred in the control group (K1). Mean ∆VO₂max between K1 and K2 (0.13±0.56 to 4.49±1.18 mL/kg/min, p=0.001), ∆speed (-0.02±0.05 to -0.21±0.15 s, p=0.001), ∆agility (0.03±0.21 to -0.56±0.26 s, p=0.001), ∆strength (1.50±2.02 to 8.85±1.82 kg, p=0.001), and ∆flexibility (0.98±2.16 to 1.82±0.66 cm, p=0.219). Conclusions. This study revealed evidence of the effect of high-intensity workout interventions on improving physical fitness components but not on flexibility improvement, likely due to the strength- and endurance-focused nature of the training program.

Full textAbstract:
A typical physical exercise is characterized by intensity, frequency, duration and rhythmicity. The study investigated the effect of nocturnal push-up on morning values of peripheral oxygen saturation (SPO2) and cardiovascular indices in apparently healthy males who have neither participated in pushup nor any programmed physical activities in the past three months. 15 apparently healthy young males averaging 16 years executed pushup work-out (44reps/min) between 7pm and 9 pm for a period of 2 weeks. SPO2, blood pressure and pulse rate were measured early in the morning between 6am and 8am 1 week before commencement of workout, two weeks of workout and a week after cessation of workout. Morning values of blood pressure and pulse rate were not significantly affected by either two week of pushup or cessation. However, morning value of SPO2 was significantly increased following 2 weeks of nocturnal pushup. 1week following cessation, SPO2 was not significantly altered. The finding of the study showed the beneficial effect of nocturnal pushup on peripheral oxygen saturations in young males.

Full textAbstract:
To determine the salivary steroid response to high-intensity functional training (HIFT) competition workouts, saliva samples were collected from ten recreationally trained male and female competitors during a 5-week (WK1–WK5) international competition. Competitors arrived at their local affiliate and provided samples prior to (PRE) their warm-up, immediately (IP), 30-min (30P), and 60-min (60P) post-exercise. Samples were analyzed for concentrations of testosterone (T), cortisol (C), and their ratio (TC). Generalized linear mixed models with repeated measures revealed significant main effects for time (p < 0.001) for T, C, and TC. Compared to PRE-concentrations, elevated (p < 0.05) T was observed at IP on WK2–WK5 (mean difference: 135–511 pg·mL−1), at 30P on WK3 (mean difference: 81.0 ± 30.1 pg·mL−1) and WK5 (mean difference: 56.6 ± 22.7 pg·mL−1), and at 60P on WK3 (mean difference: 73.5 ± 29.7 pg·mL−1) and WK5 (mean difference: 74.3 ± 28.4 pg·mL−1). Compared to PRE-concentrations, elevated (p < 0.05) C was noted on all weeks at IP (mean difference: 9.3–15.9 ng·mL−1) and 30P (mean difference: 6.0–19.9 ng·mL−1); significant (p < 0.006) elevations were noted at 60P on WK1 (mean difference: 9.1 ± 3.0 ng·mL−1) and WK5 (mean difference: 12.8 ± 2.9 ng·mL−1). Additionally, TC was significantly reduced from PRE-values by 61% on WK1 at 60P (p = 0.040) and by 80% on WK5 at 30P (p = 0.023). Differences in T, C, and TC were also observed between weeks at specific time points. Although each workout affected concentrations in T, C, and/or the TC ratio, changes appeared to be modulated by the presence of overload and workout duration. During periods of elevated training or competition, athletes and coaches may consider monitoring these hormones for consistency and as a means of assessing workout difficulty.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction. The use of mobile apps known as mHealth is starting to shape the delivery of physical therapy care not only in patients but also to the healthy population. Using an exercise app is a potential strategy to promote physical activity among individuals. Thus, this pilot study examined the utility of the Nike® Training Club app in increasing exercise adherence and enhancing aerobic endurance. Methods. The study utilized one-way repeated measures over time quasi-experimental design. It used purposive sampling to select 10 college football players aged 18-25 years old. After downloading the app, the participants were required to perform a workout plan composed of 15–45 minutes workouts through circuit interval training. The 20-day workout plan was done for 6 weeks (3-4 workouts per week). Aerobic endurance was measured at baseline and every after 2 weeks of intervention using Cooper’s 12-minute run test. Results. An extremely high adherence rate (85%, SD = 2.11) to exercise was exhibited by the participants based on recorded logs in the app. Also, the participants agreed that the app was easy to use (x̅ = 3.9, SD = .18) due to its user-friendly interface, uncomplicated design, and comprehensive features. Results also showed an improvement in their aerobic endurance at the end of the 6-week training with a change of 3.8 ml/kg/min, however, ANOVA showed no statistically significant difference in VO2 max from baseline to post-tests [F (3, 10) = 2.18, p = .11]. Discussion. A high adherence to exercise may be achieved when exercise is facilitated using the app. The app has potential to provide information that could lead to improvements in aerobic endurance and can be a useful tool in maintaining an active lifestyle among the well population.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction. For many years researchers and coaches have been struggling with a crucial experimental problem of examining the relations between sport result and the elements of training loads. The main question of the theory of endurance sports is the study of the influence of varied activities on human system, which will eventually transfer into results improvement. By enriching the scientific knowledge regarding organism adaptation to different stimuli in terms of physiology, biochemistry, biomechanics and physical therapy, coaches and scholars have been developing theoretical foundations of workout. Purpose of research. The main purpose of this study is to analyse the training loads of the competitive marathoner, the polish marathon record holder. The analysis is based on two mesocycles with a duration of 8 weeks of preparatory phase, guided by two different coaches. Moreover, another crucial issue included in the study is the comparison of the training framework and training loads in particular weeks. Material and method. The practical implementation of the theory is provided with the use of research material of Olympian, who is also the Polish marathon record holder, in a form of his workout logs. The content of the workout logs includes two marathon mesocycles, each with a duration of 8 weeks of preparatory phase. Results. The analysis of the volume of training loads in the eight-week mesocycle shows the diversity between the two studied marathon preparatory phases. Considering the efficacy based on the race result, it should be said that the workout plan of the first coach came out to be more beneficial for the marathoner. Conclusions. Hence, it should be said that it is the general running endurance which should be the main workout element of every elite runner. Increased number of kilometers definitely conduces to achieve satisfactory marathon results. Moreover, one should remember that most of the marathon work should be done in oxygen balance. Key words: marathon, training loads, runner, preparatory phase

This study aimed to assess the effects of a proprioceptive exercises programme on disease activity and on ankle kinematic and kinetic parameters of post-menopausal women with rheumatoid arthritis. Twenty-seven post-menopausal women with rheumatoid arthritis were allocated to exercise group (n = 15) or control group (n = 12). Exercise group intervention: proprioceptive exercises (12 weeks; 3 one-on-one workouts/week; 30 min/workout). Control group intervention: stretching exercises (12 weeks; 1 one-on-one workout every two weeks; 30 min/workout). Disease Activity Score (28 joints) was used to assess disease activity. A 3D motion analysis system (9 cameras, 200 Hz) and a force plate (1000 Hz) were used to collect kinematic and kinetic data during a barefoot walking at self-selected speed. For each subjects’ foot, 7 trials of the stance phase were collected. One subject withdrawal was registered in exercise group. Post-intervention, exercise group’ subjects yielded higher gait speed, shorter stance phase, shorter controlled dorsiflexion sub-phase, and higher ankle power peak (p < 0.05), however, they showed no differences in Disease Activity Score, ankle moment of force peak, and variability of biomechanical parameters; control group’ subjects showed no differences in all parameters. Proprioceptive exercises seemed to be a safe option to gain gait biomechanical improvements in post-menopausal women with rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract This chapter focuses on exercise that targets depression. Major depression is a medical disorder characterized by symptoms, like blue mood and negative thinking, that are present daily or nearly every day for at least two weeks. When exercising to help relieve depression, people must be prepared to have a rumination-free period during the exercise session. The chapter highlights the importance of self-coaching around negative and repetitive thoughts. It then introduces the Exercise+ approach to improve mood and an aerobic workout to lift its mood effects, while also considering how to use a support team and then sustain and increase activity levels.

The article examines the problem of using strength fitness tools in the educational and training process of women of the first mature age in the conditions of a fitness club. The subject of the study is a strength fitness program for women aged 30-35. The analysis of literature sources showed that strength fitness programs can include: strength training with own body weight, weight training, circuit training, interval training, strength training on fitball balls, calanetics, pilates, etc. The purpose of the research is to improve the indicators of physical fitness of women aged 30-35 by means of strength fitness. Methodology. Research methods: analysis and generalization of data from scientific and educational literature; pedagogical testing; pedagogical observation; methods of anthropometric measurements; pedagogical experiment; methods of mathematical statistics. The study was conducted on the basis of the Drive fitness club (Kropivnytskyi, Ukraine). Five women aged 30-35 took part in the study. We did not form a control group, but studied the same contingent of women before and after the experiment. Strength fitness training took place twice a week. Research results. The morphological indicators of women aged 30-35 at the beginning of the experiment were determined: height, body weight, body mass index. It was found that women had body mass index values within the normal range: from 19.2 to 20.6 kg/m². Average group indicators of women's physical fitness were analyzed according to the data of the coefficient of variation. A low dispersion of the results was determined (V<11%), which indicates the homogeneity of the sample. A strength fitness program has been developed for women aged 30-35, taking into account initial indicators of physical fitness, morphological indicators, state of health and interests. The program is designed for eight weeks of training. The structure and content of each workout is revealed. Load components are provided: exercise duration, number of sets, amount of weight. It is planned to gradually increase the weight of the additional load and complicate the conditions for performing strength fitness exercises. The strength fitness training program included exercises on cardio machines and joint gymnastics (warm-up), exercises on strength machines, with additional weight and with the weight of your own body (the main part of the training) and stretching exercises (cool down after training). The individual indicators of women's physical fitness after the end of the pedagogical experiment were determined again. The retest program included the same tests as at the beginning of the pedagogical experiment, but in more complicated conditions and/or with an increased weight of the additional burden. The dynamics of improvement of individual indicators of women's physical fitness under the influence of the developed strength fitness program were analyzed. Practical implication. The practical significance of the research results is in the ability to improve indicators of physical fitness, in particular strength endurance of various muscle groups, of women aged 30-35 with the help of strength fitness exercises. In this regard, the developed strength fitness program can be recommended for implementation in a fitness club. Value/originality.The scientific value of the research results is in the development of an effective program of strength fitness for women of the first mature age.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter discusses fever of unknown origin (FUO). FUO describes prolonged fevers greater than 38°C/101°F lasting for 3 or more weeks that remain undiagnosed after a focused FUO outpatient/inpatient workup. The causes of FUO include infectious and noninfectious disorders. A variety of infectious, malignant, and rheumatic/inflammatory disorders may be associated with prolonged fevers, but relatively few persist undiagnosed for sufficient duration to be classified as FUOs. Because the appropriateness of therapy is based on a correct diagnosis, the main focus of the clinical approach to FUOs is diagnostic rather than therapeutic. The diagnostic workup should be focused on signs, symptoms, and nonspecific laboratory abnormalities that may either enhance or diminish particular diagnostic possibilities. Empiric therapy is rarely justifiable unless a potentially treatable life-threatening disease is a definite/highly probable diagnosis.

With the rapid technological change, most people are living an unhealthy lifestyle and consuming processed food. Additionally, most people spend time on their mobile phones instead of working on other activities such as exercise. Beginners should have at least 2 to 3 days of working out per week, and the intermediate should have 3 to 4 days of strength training. A set of stretching exercises is required after each workout. Approximately 3.9 million people aged 18 and above are diagnosed with diabetes in Malaysia. This means that 1 in 5 adults will be diagnosed with diabetes. The prevalence rate has increased from 13.4% in 2015 to 18.3% in 2019. Some of the main factors that can cause a person to acquire diabetes are obesity and consuming excessive amounts of food with high sugar levels. The two types of diabetes are type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes results in the body not producing insulin, whereas type 2 diabetes causes the body to not respond to insulin even though it produces insulin.

In this case, a middle-aged male is brought to the emergency department of a tertiary care hospital from the airport. He has had an episode of shortness of breath and chest tightness, associated with nausea, paresthesias, and headache. Initially, he undergoes a cardiac workup and is cleared of any problems with his heart. He is discharged to the community and advised to return if there is any recurrence of symptoms. He does return for a further four visits over a 2-week period, during which he is referred to various other disciplines and services before his correct diagnosis is made. The case illustrates how a variety of biases influence the course of his management, notably diagnosis momentum, fundamental attribution error, and affective bias.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter focuses on the most frequently acquired optic nerve diseases: their signs and symptoms, visual field findings, and the required basic workup and management. Acquired optic nerve diseases are often vision threatening and sometimes even life threatening. There is a need for accurate and timely diagnosis. Therefore, it is incumbent on the clinician to identify optic neuropathies, separate them from chronic congenital and hereditary problems, and aggressively pursue the diagnosis and treatment as necessary. In the workup of optic neuropathies, the visual field is extremely helpful. All patients with suspected optic neuropathies require careful examination of the visual fields for detection, characterization, and monitoring. Acquired optic neuropathies include inflammatory, ischemic, compressive, metabolic, and central nervous system–reflected pathology (papilledema). Inflammatory optic neuropathies include optic neuritis and its various etiologies such as demyelination, infective, immune-mediated (atypical), and slowly progressive/ chronic. Ischemic optic neuropathies include nonarteritic ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) and arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy (AAION). Metabolic optic neuropathies include nutritional and/or toxic etiologies. Compressive optic neuropathies can occur due to mass effect on the disc optic, gliomas, and perioptic meningiomas. Papilledema may be primary (pseudotumor cerebri) or secondary to central nervous system mass effect. Optic neuritis is defined as a primary inflammation of the optic nerve. It is characterized by central visual loss that worsens over days and usually peaks about 1 to 2 weeks after the onset. It is usually unilateral but may be bilateral, especially in children, following viral infections like measles, mumps, and chickenpox. It occurs most commonly in adults (18-45 years old). Orbital or periocular pain may be present or precede the visual loss and is exacerbated with eye movements. Etiologies include demyelinating diseases/multiple sclerosis;, idiopathic, viral, or bacterial infections (syphilis); contiguous inflammation of the meninges, orbit, or sinuses,; granulomatous inflammation (tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, and cryptococosis); and autoimmune diseases. It is the most common cause of acute visual loss from optic nerve disease in the young and middle-aged adult group.

For noncompetitive young males, bodybuilding could be an interesting option due to the physical (armonious body development), aesthetic, physiological and psychological benefits. The aim of the research is to monitor the heart rate during bodybuilding workouts with students for 10 weeks. The research subjects are students (male) at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, Stefan cel Mare University of Suceava, in a number of 30 (age 22,20±5,32 years; min-19, max-39). The period of the research was: October 2016 to January 2017. During this period, at every workout session, we measured five times the heart rates levels: before warm-up, after warm-up, in main part of the workout, after cool down and 5 minutes after cool down. In the research we used a pulse oximeter (Heal Force, PC-60 model). ANOVA analysis for all 5 measurement indicates a significant value for p<0,001. Significant relationships between heart rate values for each analyzed part of the workout sessions show a good implication of the subject in this physical activity, but another studies need to confirm or infirm the values of the heart rate in the main part of the workout. Current data confirm that bodybuilding workout is a moderate activity, but in some individual situations the intensity was vigourous to hard. The values of the pulse 5 minutes after cool down indicate a good recovery rate for the subjects. The limitations of the study are given by the number of participants (30), but open the way to make other such studies involving more subjects, to be conducted during a longer period, in order to determine heart rate values in bodybuilding workouts for students.

Full textAbstract:
The article represents the distribution of the basic running training tools from the third level in the annual cycle of highly qualified racers in a preparation focused on classical mountain running in the variant "Up and Downhill". The research aims to define a principal annual model of distribution of the volume of the basic running training tools from the third level by weeks in a preparation for variation of racing "uphill and downhill" in classic mountain running. The following methods were used: a) research of the weekly volume of the training tools within the framework of the separate mezzo-cycles in the macrostructure and b) variation analysis of the data received from the training tools explored. The results received show, that the biggest portion of the training workout is related to the development of the sub-factor from the third level "basic endurance". Running tools for "basic endurance" take 71% of the total annual volume. It appears to be the fundament, based on which the whole structure of the training is built. Running training means for the development of the "speed" sub-factor are two to three times greater in volume in the preparation period and during the early race stage compared to the main and late race stages and the transition period. The ratio of "base endurance" to "speed" run volume is about 32:1.

The article considers a set of indicators characterising motor activity in the adult population, as the definition of motor activity indicators of physical fitness and sport (MA) is considered in regulatory documents with different values. The present study examined the population distribution of average daily physical activity during the year, the limits of variability in quantitative measures of weekly physical activity, and preferred forms of exercise among the 1855 year old population of the Russian Federation (40,145 persons, including 14,677 men and 25,468 women) using the ONETRAK ecosystem and timekeeping of the week’s motor activity in adults (302 persons, 102 of them are males, and 200 are females). The population distribution of average daily physical activity during the year was found to be less than 4,000 steps per day for 18-27 year olds, and up to 4,475 steps per day for 28-55 year olds, an indication of low mobility. The amount of time spent on physical activity for the observation during the observed period characterises the physical activity boundaries of the economically active population within 30 min ± 10.5. The distribution of the volume of YES responses, expressed by the number of sessions during the week, shows a frequency of sessions in the range of 1-2 sessions (65.7%), 3 or more sessions are practiced by 26.3% of the respondents. Workout sessions take place in a freestyle format. Thus, our data confirms a low level of physical activity in the population aged 18 to 55. The identified physical activity indicators do not contribute to the cumulative effect of physical activity and the manifestation of the health-improving effect of physical education and sport activities.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Ovarian tumors have a varied spectrum of presentation. Tumors which look malignant clinico-biochemically can ultimately turn out to be benign. Tumor markers help in diagnosing various malignancies. Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 is one such marker seen to be elevated in some ovarian tumors. Case: A 55 year old, lean and thin postmenopausal female presented to Gynae OPD with abdominal mass, anorexia and weight loss developing over last 6 months. During workup, she was found to have unusually high Ca 19-9 along with MRI findings suggestive of ovarian tumor. Staging laparotomy followed by total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingoophorectomy was performed. Per operative findings were suggestive of benign nature of ovarian tumor of size 18× 20 cm. Patient was kept under follow up. Histopathology report showed benign mucinous cystadenoma. The serum levels of Ca19-9 returned to normal 8 weeks following surgery. This case report shows a rare and significant elevation of Ca19-9 levels with benign mucinous cystadenoma of the ovary, thus showing that women with unusually elevated tumor markers and even symptoms suggesting malignancy may actually harbour a benign disease. Conclusion: Unusually high Ca 19-9 may be associated with benign mucinous cystadenoma but thorough workup to rule out malignancy is a must in every case.

Recent years have seen a rise in smartphone applications promoting health and well being. We argue that there is a large and unexplored ground within the field of recommender systems (RS) for applications that promote good personal health. During the COVID-19 pandemic, with gyms being closed, the demand for at-home fitness apps increased as users wished to maintain their physical and mental health. However, maintaining long-term user engagement with fitness applications has proved a difficult task. Personalisation of the app recommendations that change over time can be a key factor for maintaining high user engagement. In this work we propose a reinforcement learning (RL) based framework for recommending sequences of body-weight exercises to home users over a mobile application interface. The framework employs a user simulator, tuned to feedback a weighted sum of realistic workout rewards, and trains a neural network model to maximise the expected reward over generated exercise sequences. We evaluate our framework within the context of a large 15 week live user trial, showing that an RL based approach leads to a significant increase in user engagement compared to a baseline recommendation algorithm.

Full textAbstract:
Over the past decade, most of the activities associated with fitness have evolved significantly. Physical activity guidelines, as well as international research, have highlighted the importance of developing maximum strength, improving cardiovascular fitness and optimizing body composition. These aspects are essential to bring significant health benefits to people of all ages and to improve the quality of life of people affected by various diseases, including cancer. The phenomenon of exercise, also known by the general names of "fitness", "exercise", "conditioning", "resistance training", or even "fitness training", is a complex reality. The term "fitness" can be associated with a number of activities commonly performed in fitness centers or gyms. In the context of 2023, one of the most widespread training methods is resistance circuit-based training. This method promotes the idea of combining aspects of aerobic conditioning, muscle endurance and neuromuscular and strength adaptations in a single workout. In the past, the circuit method was recommended as a preferred training option for people who had no previous exercise experience or who had a lower basic fitness level. This recommendation was based on the fact that this type of training had the potential to improve both maximum upper body strength and VO2 max (the maximum volume of oxygen consumed during exercise). VO2 max is a common indicator used to assess a person's fitness level. The application of the circuit method can lead to significant changes in body composition, in the sense of reducing body fat and increasing muscle mass, especially in adult men. In terms of fat loss, most studies have shown significant decreases in body fat when workouts are performed 2-3 times a week. However, the author's research indicated a 9.2% decrease in body fat in active individuals, even after just two training sessions per week. The hypothesis of this study suggests that by applying the circuit training method, significant improvements in strength development and other motor qualities will be observed, while simultaneously contributing to strengthening overall health. The aim of this research is to investigate the effects of circuit training on strength development in adults, with the aim of demonstrating that this training method is effective in this regard. The main objective of this research is to increase segmental muscle strength and at the same time improve fitness levels in adults. Specific objectives: Assess the impact of circuit training on muscle strength development in adults involved in the studio; Analysis of changes in the general physical condition of participants because of applying the circuit method; Evaluation of effects on body weight in adults following participation in circuit training; Comparing results at the end of the study with baseline data to assess progress. Proposed circuit for model study participants The structure of the circuit is as follows: Ex 1: Lying back, arms at the side of the body with palms resting on the ground, waving of lower limbs (working time: 30", pause: 40"). Ex 2: Standing, legs apart at shoulder level, squats with 3 presses, return to starting position (working time: 30", break: 40"). Ex 3: Standing, legs apart at shoulder level, dumbbells in hands (2 kg), carrying arms sideways, return to original position (working time: 30", pause: 40"). Ex 4: Lying sideways with sandbags at the ankles (1 kg), raising the leg sideways/up - right/left, returning to the starting position (working time: 30", break: 40"). Ex 5: Sitting with a dumbbell in your hands (3 kg), lifting the dumbbell to your chest followed by stretching your arms and raising the dumbbell above your head, returning to its original position (working time: 30", pause: 40"). The participants in this research consist of a group of 20 adult women, aged between 25 and 35. The location of the study was Wondergym Hall in Suceava, between January 15 and April 15, 2023. To achieve the proposed goals, subjects participated in 4 training sessions per week, on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Each training session lasted 60 minutes, of which 10 minutes were allocated to warm-up, 45 minutes to actual training, and 5 minutes to relax through stretching exercises.imageFig.1 Statistical Indicators for Physical Fitness Tests The statistical interpretation for X-values (averages) for each test is as follows: Weight: The mean value of weight at IT is 62.2 kg and at TF it is 59.8 kg. The average difference between TI and TF is 2.4 kg. Test Push-ups: The average value of the number of push-ups at TI is 10.1 and at TF is 15. The average difference between TI and TF is 4.9 push-ups. Long jump test: The mean difference between TI and TF is 7.4 cm. Facial Lying Trunk Extensions test: The mean value for trunk extensions at TI is 28.3 and at TF is 34.1. The average difference between TI and TF is 5.75 extensions.Supine Trunk Lift Test: The mean value at TI is 20.6 and at TF is 27.9. The average difference between TI and TF is 7.35 supine trunk lift. Squats test: The average value for squats in TI is 17.6 and in TF is 26.2. The average difference between TI and TF is 8.6 squats. Overall, average values indicate a significant improvement in performance across all tests between TI and TF. The variability coefficients show that the variation in performance was moderate in most cases, except for the push-up test, where the variation was greater. Conclusions: The circuit training method is a form of training that involves performing a set of different exercises in a certain order. This method can be used to improve muscle strength, endurance and/or weight loss; For a proper training program, a few basic steps must be followed, namely: choosing exercises, setting the number of repetitions, time and duration of the circuit. The choice of exercises will take into account that different muscle groups will be worked. We can choose basic exercises such as squats, push-ups, shoulder lifts, isolation exercises (for biceps or triceps). It is important to choose exercises that are tailored to our fitness goals and current fitness level; The data obtained from the study demonstrates the hypothesis and proposed objectives were successfully met. This is clearly reflected in the enhanced motor indices observed in each participant during the final tests in comparison to their initial performance. At the same time, we also noticed the existence of a positive attitude of the subjects towards circuit training, an increasing motivation from one session to another and at the same time, there is a good development of muscle strength.
