“…It is well known that hyperglycaemia can also occur during acute stress of psychoemotional origin. In this case, it is clear that the reason for hyperglycaemia is to not eliminate the existing metabolic energy-defect state but to prevent its development [2,30,36]. It is clear that in this situation, the primary trigger that activates the stress reaction is not the presence of a metabolic defect but that of a subjective psychomental stimulus.…”

“…It should be emphasized that the basic therapeutic goal of diabetes treatment is the achievement of near normoglycaemia, which counteracts the glucose toxicity mechanism that induces continuous, progressive metabolic deterioration. Notably, this intervention can be considered a causal treatment only for patients with type 1 diabetes, where the basic pathogenetic factor is insulin deficiency [36,39]. In all other types of diabetes, the principal pathophysiological mechanism is associated either with primary insulin resistance or primary mitochondrial dysfunction.…”

“…It is clear that the evaluation of any antidiabetic intervention should not be limited only to the blood glucose-lowering effect but also to the beneficial or deteriorating influence on the cellular energyproducing biochemical machinery. This means that the wide range of drugs used to achieve normoglycaemia cannot be viewed as equivalent measures in terms of normalization of cellular metabolism [35,36,40]. Therefore, new agents of metabolic promotion, such as adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase activators, mitokines, and melatonin, which have a variety of subcellular targets in the metabolic machinery, can also be considered potential therapeutic tools beyond currently used interventions [1,2,6,36,40,41].…”

The stress reaction (acute, repetitive or chronic stress patterns) is a non-specific response of an organism to a pathological state. The metabolic characteristics of these stress patterns are well documented. Recognizing the interrelation between a stress-induced pathological state and the relevant pattern of the resultant stress reaction can provide a more accurate assessment of actual cellular metabolism than an approach relying on blood glucose values. Stress activation is obligatorily associated with negative energetic balance in affected cellular metabolism, which is reversed by elimination of the stressor. Prolongation of the stress reaction is a marker indicating the ineffective elimination of the causal stressor. Chronic stress induces progressive self-generating cellular metabolic dysfunction, resulting in the development of both diabetic and ischaemic disorders. Chronic stress conditions are characterized by reductions in inducible metabolic capacity, acute stress tolerance, and functional performance, accompanied by stress-specific micro- and macroscopic alterations. Chronic stress can be activated by both somatic and psychomental stressors. Diabetes, starvation, obesity, ageing, pregnancy, and any chronic disease state of a vital organ are associated with activation of stress reaction. The increased susceptibility of diabetic patients on gliflozins to the development of postoperative euglycaemic ketoacidosis can be explained by a reduction in chronic stress-associated acute stress tolerance, related mainly to diabetes, and a relative glucose deficiency induced by gliflozin therapy. Chronic hyperglycaemia associated with chronic stress should be considered both the primary cause and the secondary consequence of cellular dysmetabolism. Achievement of near-normoglycaemia is a beneficial effect but is not a causal intervention

“…A reduction in physical fitness15–18 and an increased risk of injury and illness19 during the 6–12 month postpartum period compared with prepregnancy have been demonstrated in active-duty US Army, Air Force and Navy women. Not surprisingly, 75% of a cohort of 109 US military active-duty women had not regained full functional status, assessed using the Inventory of Functional Status After Childbirth, which measures readiness to assume infant care and to resume self-care, household, social/community and occupational activities when they returned to active duty, with downgraded physical training, at 6 weeks postpartum, and 40% still displayed symptoms of postpartum depression and anxiety 20…”

IntroductionThe 2016 Interim Report on the Health Risks to Women in Ground Close Combat Roles highlighted an increased risk of skeletal injury and significant physiological changes, including increased ligament laxity and decreased bone mineral content, during the postpartum period. The report called for further research and a re-evaluation of postpartum policy to optimise the return of female Service personnel to arduous employment. The purpose of this study was to determine whether returning to duty is at greater risk of injury and illness in the first year postpartum than they were prepregnancy.MethodsFifty-five female UK Army Service personnel aged 18–41 years, who had given birth in the previous 4 years, completed a lifestyle questionnaire and gave written consent for a review of their medical records. The number of working days lost (WDL) due to illness, injury and combined illness and injury was obtained from medical records, for 1 year prepregnancy and 1 year postpartum. Female Service personnel returned to duty at different time-points postpartum, so data were expressed as WDL/week.ResultsWDL/week due to illness and combined illness and injury were higher postpartum compared with prepregnancy (p<0.05). WDL/week due to combined illness and injury was significantly lower prepregnancy (p<0.05) and at 0–26 weeks postpartum (p<0.05), compared with 26–52 weeks postpartum.ConclusionsPostpartum female UK Army Service personnel are at greater risk of illness and a combination of illness and injury in the year after giving birth, compared with prepregnancy. The study suggests female Service personnel are unprepared for the demands of full active duty in the first year postpartum.

“…Through optimizing the database management mode, output the key physical fitness index system, and feedback to the coach to formulate the corresponding training program, thereby improving the training efficiency and quality of athletes. For the development of physical fitness testing system, Miller et al [8] developed an RFID system for aerobic cardiovascular endurance running and a 6-minute walking test, which is a common tracking and tracking technology and plays an important role in the field of sports testing. Tseng et al [9] have studied a comprehensive physical fitness testing system for the elderly.…”

In the process of physical fitness training, it is an important subject of scientific physical fitness training to adjust and control the physical load intensity in real-time, accurately and effectively according to the physiological load inside the human body so as to make it consistent with the predetermined goal of the training plan. Aiming at the current demand of smartphone popularization and athlete training monitoring, this paper designs an intelligent monitoring system of physical fitness based on the Internet of Things technology. By selecting such factors as vertical jump, fast leg raising, sitting forward, height, chest circumference, percentage of body constitution, YOYO intermittent endurance running and so on, using RFID technology to mark different athletes, and after using the particle swarm optimization method of BP network to establish the evaluation model of the athletes' physical condition. Through simulation, the physical condition of athletes is accurately predicted, which provides a new scientific and technological means to improve the efficiency of physical training and make physical training scientific. INDEX TERMS Physical fitness, intelligent monitoring, The Internet of Things, BP neural network, particle swarm.
