“…It is also a cheap and widely available method [33], which we have also used it successfully in our patients. Based on the results of studies conducted in people over the age of 65, it has been proven that regular and prolonged physical activity is associated with a higher level of cognitive functions, and later in life with a lower risk of cognitive disorders, the so-called successful aging [34], we can conclude that physical activity should be promoted as a modifiable preventive factor contributing to the improvement of well-being and increasing the efficiency of cognitive functions [35].…”

The aim of the study was to assess cognitive functions and sleep quality after a 3-month holistic intervention including physical, social and cognitive rehabilitation in patients 65+. Twenty-nine people participated in the study. The study was divided into two stages. In the first stage, a self-administered questionnaire consisting of sociodemographic questions was used, and cognitive functions were assessed using the Rey-Osterrieth complex figure test, Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination III (ACE III) test, Montreal Cognitive Function Assessment Scale (MoCA) and digit repetition test. All patients were also assessed for sleep quality using the Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS). After three months, the patients were assessed for cognitive functions and sleep quality, which was the second stage of the study. Analysis of the results obtained by patients in the study showed a statistically significant improvement in sleep quality and cognitive function. Rehabilitation activities, including physical training, cognitive exercises and occupational therapy, reduce the severity of mild cognitive disorders and reduce insomnia.

“…The important benefits that can be gained from regular PA include the ability to reduce the risk of cardiovascular conditions, lower resting blood pressure, improved lipid profile, obesity therapy as well as a beneficial effect on endothelial function, inflammatory processes, coagulation, and sex hormone levels [9,10,25]. The focus of US research has been the evaluation of the potential underlying the mechanisms thanks to which higher levels of PA are associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular events in the case of women aged 45+.…”

Funds collection zebranie funduszy Summary Physioprophylaxis is a physiotherapeutic procedure consisting in counteracting, slowing down, inhibiting or removing adverse effects associated with an incorrect lifestyle, involutionary changes and disease processes. Physical activity (PA), health education, reduction of risk factors, and functional diagnostics are used to implement these goals. Physioprophylaxis makes it possible to avoid or stop the development of functional problems or disorders. It enables the prevention of civilization diseases, aging processes and disability by performing professional and daily activities ergonomically. Physioprophylaxis introduces PA and behaviors that strengthen the factors influencing health protection by preventing health threats. The lack of theoretical studies devoted to physioprophylaxis highlights the need to examine this topic. The purpose of this article is to describe an exemplary description (the author's) of primary and secondary physioprophylaxis using PA as an integral component of physical therapy, including its tasks. Primary physioprophylaxis strives to prevent the occurrence of diseases, and is directed towards healthy people. Secondary physioprophylaxis involves patients and is a selective process that prevents the recurrence of the disease being treated and also reduces other risks to health. Physioprophylaxis focusing on health threats in healthy people has been scientifically demonstrated to maintain and strengthen the current physiological and functional state. It is also a way to minimize the scope of adverse disorders associated with diseases for people with medical conditions achieved using PA.

“…Regular physical activity is an essential element of healthy lifestyle and it is, unquestionably, the key component of keeping and improving students' health (Antonov, 2013;Zavydivska & Khanikiants, 2016;Gieroba, 2019). Specialists state that regular motor activity is a key factor in forming physical as well as psychological human health (Khanikiants, 2011;Zavydivska O., Zavydivska N., Khanikiants & Rymar, 2017;Solovei, Rymar, Yaroshyk, & Sorokolit, 2017).…”

“…Complex psychological processes in students' consciousness and behavior at such age, psycho-emotional feelings that relate to the ending of biological and physiological development and with adaptation to new conditions of studying and living, are manifested through their psycho-emotional condition (Semenova & Mahlovanyi, 2015;Semenova & Mahlovanyi, 2017). However, specialists mention (Romanovskiy, Shapovalova, Kvasnyk, & Gura, 2017;Kondratets, 2019;Gieroba, 2019) that low level of motor activity among adolescents and youth pushes specialists to search and implement modern, innovative techniques into physical education that could increase the level of interest towards it and facilitate favorable health condition, particularly its psychological (psycho-emotional) domain.…”

Specialists say that the issue of understanding of influence mechanism of physical activity on psychological health of children and teenagers is not investigated thoroughly. This concerns primarilycollege students, fortheir age equals to that of high school pupils.Psycho-emotional processes in the students’ consciousness and behavior atthat ageare caused by the end of biological and physical development and adaptation to new conditions of studying and living. Our previous research allowed us to determine the condition and dynamics of psycho-emotional indicators during the first academic year against the background of low physical activity. The question of how particular physical activity influences the dynamics of these indicators among college students remains to be unanswered. The aim of the research is to determine the dynamics of indicators of psycho-emotional condition among 15–16 years old students from Medical College. Research methods and techniques like analysis and generalization of scientific literature, documentation, pedagogical observation, SAN and mathematical statistics were applied. The results of the research. Any reliable changes towards either more positive or negative side have not been detected among students from Experimental Group (EG), though indicators of well-being and mood of students from Control Group (CG) have considerably decreased (p≤0,05) during the pedagogical experiment. The reliable deterioration of the CG students’ well-beingfrom have been noticed in comparison with the EG students on the 2nd stage of the experiment. The conclusions. The data obtained from the pedagogical experiment have proved the positive effect of implementation of team-building techniques into physical education of college students on their psycho-emotional condition indicators.
