It is hereditary and can appear without warning at any time of life and is related to obesity and circulatory problems. If not treated, lymphedema can be painful and lead to life-threatening infections. This book will help physicians who deal with lymphedema.

“…But even if the investment falls short on making a positive economic return, consideration of the social benefits may make the investment worthwhile. The social benefits, such as those highlighted by Auld & Case (1997), Jefferes & Dobos (1993) and Orthner & Mancini (1990), are difficult to measure in monetary terms but are nonetheless part of the return to public fund investment. Based on the estimated large surplus enjoyed by the public, or at least water-based leisure users, it seems likely that investDemand for Water-based Leisure Activity 75 ment of public funds to enhance and protect water-based leisure amenities would receive favourable support.…”

“…Social interaction is among the most frequently reported reasons for participation in leisure activities (Auld & Case, 1997) and participation in leisure activity leads to community building (Arai & Pedlar, 1997). Leisure opportunities are also an important determinant of people's perception of quality of life (Jefferes & Dobos, 1993), while family participation in leisure activities has positive effects on family interaction, satisfaction and stability (Orthner & Mancini, 1990). Despite the social and economic importance of leisure activity there is a dearth of published estimates on the value of and the demand for water-based recreational activity with recreational fishing being the one significant exception.…”

SummaryStudy aim: Both adequate time and quality time are important for the wellbeing of a family. The study evaluated the effectiveness of a 15-week family-based physical activity (PA) intervention entitled "Junior for Seniors". It included both children and parents. The paper focuses on an important topic -family-based leisure-time physical activity (LTPA). It is set in Polish primary schools, which is a novel approach. Regular physical activity for young people and their parents improves health and fitness including strength and endurance, promotes development of healthy bones and muscles, helps control weight and increases self-esteem. Material and methods:In 2015, 24 children ("juniors", 14 girls and 10 boys, aged (mean ± SD) 7.96 ± 0.69 years) and 22 parents ("seniors", 14 mothers aged 38.86 ± 2.96 years and 8 fathers aged 37.38 ± 2.97 years) were voluntarily enrolled in a study encompassing three primary schools in the city of Poznań, Poland. To measure factors associated with LTPA, selected questions from the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) questionnaire were used. Results: As a result of the intervention, children increased both the amount of time they spent on intense LTPA and the frequency with which they undertook LTPA (values for "time spent on intense physical exercises during leisure time" were statistically significantly higher in the post-test; Z = -2.57; p < 0.05). In the post-test, statistically significant relations were obtained between the following variables: reason for physical activity: for better sport results -with family: playing together; r = 0.41, p < 0.05. In the parents' group no statistically significant increase was observed in any of the variables measured. Conclusions: The research issues presented in this paper require further exploration in larger scale studies. However, based on the present study, it may be concluded that one important goal has been achieved: that of more frequent family social behaviours and improved quality of LTPA.
