Słowa kluczowe: zmiany długofalowe, antropometria, piłkarze ręczni
Streszczenie:
Cel. Celem pracy jest zbadanie przejawów trendu sekularnego w budowie i proporcjach ciała profesjonalnych graczy piłki ręcznej badanych w 1977 i 2014 roku.
Materiał i metody. Ogółem zmierzono 51 mężczyzn. W opracowaniu wykorzystano wyniki pomiarów cech somatycznych: masa ciała, wysokość ciała, długość kończyny górnej, długość kończyny dolnej, wysokość siedzeniowa, zasięg kończyn górnych, obwody tułowia (obręczy barkowej, klatki piersiowej przez punkt xiphoidale, bioder), obwody segmentów kończyn (ramienia, przedramienia, uda, podudzia), fałdy skórno-tłuszczowe (pod dolnym kątem łopatki, na ramieniu, nad grzebieniem biodrowym, na podudziu). Cechy somatyczne posłużyły do wyliczenia wskaźników proporcji ciała oraz komponentów budowy (endomorfia, mezomorfia, ektomorfia). Wszystkie analizowane zmienne zostały poddane analizie statystycznej.
Wyniki. Piłkarze ręczni z obu grup są wysokorośli, mają długie kończyny dolne i średnią długość korpusu ciała oraz masywną sylwetkę ciała. Odnotowano dodatni kierunek trendu w poziomie rozwoju wszystkich cech somatycznych za wyjątkiem zasięgu kończyn górnych. W analizowanych proporcjach ciała wystąpiła wyraźna tendencja do powiększenia relatywnej długości korpusu ciała, a ponadto sylwetka stała się bardziej androidalna.
Wnioski. Kierunek zmian sekularnych w cechach wysokościowych i długościowych nie różni się od zaobserwowanego w populacji generalnej. Znaczne powiększenie masywności segmentów kończyn oraz komponentu mezomorfii należy wiązać ze zmianami w treningu sportowym.
Key words: long-term changes, anthropometry, handball players
Abstract:
Aim. The aim of the paper is to investigate a secular trend in body build and proportions of professional handball players examined in the years 1977 and 2014.
Material and methods. There were measured in total 51 males. In the analysis, the following measurements of the somatic features were used: body mass, body height, lower extremity length, sitting height, arm span, girths of trunk (shoulder, chest throught point xiphoidale, hip), the circumferences of the segments of extremities (arm, forearm, thigh, calf), skindfolds (subscapular, triceps, supraspinale and calf). The somatic features were used to calculate the body proportions’ indexes as well as the components of body build (endomorphy, mesomorphy, ectomorphy). All the variables were analyzed with statistical methods.
Results. The handball players from both groups are high, have long lower extremities, an average length of trunk and massive body posture. There were noticed positive direction of trend in a level of development of all somatic features except the arm span. Among the analyzed body proportions, a significant tendency to enlarging the relative length of body trunk was observed and the trunk became more android.
Conclusions. The direction of secular changes in the features of body high and length do not differ from these observed in a general population. The significant enlargement of body segments’ massiveness in extremities as well as mesomorphy component should be connected with the changes in sport training

No full textPlasma Concentrations of Cytokines in Patients with Combined Hyperlipidemia and Atherosclerotic Plaque before Treatment Initiation—A Pilot Study
No full textBackground and Objectives: The formation and destabilization of atherosclerotic plaques is a complex process involving several proteins and cytokines. Interleukin 6 (IL-6), interleukin 18 (IL-18), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) are examples of such cytokines. The goal of our research is to compare the concentrations of the above-mentioned indicators in the plasma of patients with verified high-risk atherosclerotic plaque to the plasma levels of healthy people before lipid lowering therapy. Materials and Methods: Patients with dyslipidemia who had the presence of unstable atherosclerotic plaque verified by ultrasonography were included in the study. The concentrations of IL-6, IL-18 and TNF-α in the plasma of these people were determined and compared with the concentrations of these cytokines in the plasma of the control group. Results: Levels of lipid panel, IL-6 and IL-18 were significantly lower in the group of healthy people than in the study group. Conclusions: The concentrations of IL-6 and IL-18 in the plasma of patients with ruptured plaque are higher than in the plasma of healthy people, suggesting that these cytokines as a panel might be used as new indicators of the presence of unstable atherosclerotic plaque
Effect of PCSK9 Inhibitors on Hemostasis in Patients with Isolated Hypercholesterolemia
No full textBackground: In addition to reducing plasma lipids, proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors may produce numerous nonlipid-related pleiotropic effects. The purpose of this trial was to determine the efficacy of PCSK9 inhibitors alone in patients with isolated hypercholesterolemia. Methods: The trial enrolled 21 individuals with isolated hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis who received alirocumab for 90 days (150 mg every two weeks). Lipids, glucose homeostasis factors, and hemostatic markers were measured in the plasma at baseline and after treatment. Results: The PCSK9 inhibitor administered to these patients reduced plasma levels/activity of fibrinogen (from 3.6 ± 0.5 to 2.9 ± 0.4 g/L, p < 0.01), factor VII (from 143.8 ± 16.7 to 114.5 ± 14.1%, p < 0.01) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) (from 74.9 ± 13.9 to 52.8 ± 9.1 ng/mL, p < 0.001) without a significant reduction in von Willebrand factor levels, and it tended to prolong the partial thromboplastin and prothrombin times. Conclusion: Our findings indicate that treatment with PCSK9 inhibitors has a multipotential effect on fibrinolysis and coagulation in patients with isolated hypercholesterolemia and that this medication may have some future benefits in patients who are statin-intolerant or contraindicated to statin use
Plasma Concentrations of New Biochemical Markers of Atherosclerosis in Patients with Dyslipidemia—A Pilot Study
No full textBackground and Objectives: The process of atherosclerotic plaque formation and its destabilisation is a process in which many proteins and cytokines are involved. Examples of such proteins are osteopontin (OPN), osteoprotegerin (OPG), metalloproteinases (MMPs) and myeloperoxidase (MPO). The aim of our study is to compare the concentrations of the above-mentioned markers in the plasma of patients with the confirmed presence of rupture plaque in comparison with the plasma of healthy people. Materials and Methods: The study included people suffering from dyslipidemia in whom the presence of unstable atherosclerotic plaque was confirmed by ultrasound. The concentrations of OPN, OPG, MPO, metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2), and metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) in the plasma of these people were determined and compared with the concentrations of these proteins in the plasma of healthy people. Results: Levels of MMP-2, MMP-9 (p < 0.001), OPN, and OPG (p < 0.05) were statistically significantly lower in the group of healthy people than in the study group. Differences in MPO concentration were not statistically significant (p = 0.073). Conclusions: In the plasma of people with confirmed presence of rupture plaque, the concentrations of OPN, OPG, and MMPs are higher compared to the group of healthy people, which may suggest the use of these proteins as novel markers of the presence of unstable atherosclerotic plaque
Impact of PCSK9 Inhibition on Proinflammatory Cytokines and Matrix Metalloproteinases Release in Patients with Mixed Hyperlipidemia and Vulnerable Atherosclerotic Plaque
No full textAtherosclerosis is a disorder in which, in addition to high cholesterol levels, several plasma factors play a significant role in its development. Among these cytokines and molecules are interleukin 6 (IL-6), interleukin 18 (IL-18), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2), and metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9), all of which may contribute to the stabilization of atherosclerotic plaque. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of advanced lipid-lowering therapy on the levels of these determinants by utilizing proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK-9) inhibitors in patients with verified high-risk atherosclerotic plaque. Methods: The study involved patients with dyslipidemia who had the presence of unstable atherosclerotic plaque verified by ultrasonography and who were eligible to begin alirocumab treatment. The levels of IL-6, IL, 18, TNF-α, and MMPs were determined in this group before and after three months of therapy. After treatment, a statistically significant decrease in concentrations of Il-18, Il-6, TNF-α (p < 0.001) and MMP-2 (p < 0.05) was observed. Additionally, we observed that the concentrations of these markers were significantly higher in the group of patients prior to initiating therapy than in the control group. Our study’s results suggest that PCSK-9 inhibitor therapy significantly reduces the concentration of factors influencing the stability of atherosclerotic plaque, which may explain their essential importance in reducing cardiovascular risk in patients receiving this treatment
Impact of Alirocumab on Release Markers of Atherosclerotic Plaque Vulnerability in Patients with Mixed Hyperlipidemia and Vulnerable Atherosclerotic Plaque
No full textBackground and Objectives: Atherosclerosis is a disease in the pathogenesis of which plasma factors apart from elevated cholesterol levels play a keyrole. Such factors include osteopontin (OPN), osteoprotegerin (OPG), and metalloproteinases (MMPs), which are factors that may be responsible for the stabilization of atherosclerotic plaque. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of modern lipid-lowering therapy by using proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK-9) inhibitor on the concentrations of these factors. Materials and Methods: The study included people suffering from dyslipidemia who were eligible to start alirocumab therapy. In this group, the concentrations of OPN, OPG, and MMPs were assessed before the initiation of therapy and after three months of its duration. Results: In the study, we observed a statistically significant reduction in the concentrations of OPN, OPG (p < 0.001), and metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) (p < 0.05) after the applied therapy. Moreover, we noticed that in the group of patients soon to start alirocumab therapy, the concentrations of these factors were higher compared to the control group (p < 0.001). Conclusions: The results of our study show that therapy with alirocumab significantly reduces the concentration of factors that affect atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability, which may explain their important role in reducing cardiovascular risk in patients undergoing this therapy
Synaesthesia as a New Tool in Marketing Communication
No full textThe paper attempts to present theoretical considerations on the problem of using synaesthesia as a new tool in marketing communication. The author demonstrates the prospects for sensory communication’s development – especially its influence on customer’s perception. Using sensory branding methodologies is surely a big challenge for marketing managers, but on the other hand the ethical dimension of communication which appeals to our five senses is controversial. The paper discusses the areas that are affected by manipulation. The main problem is that it could be impossible to use sensory communication in ethical and effective way in the same time
