Abstract
Low back pain (LBP) indicates the presence of a bone injury or an irritation at the muscle/nervous level. Based on the scientific literature, there is a controversy about LBP frequency in various age categories; some studies shown that LBP prevalence affected the age group from 45 to 60 years old, however some other studies demonstrated that LBP was more frequent in younger age. The common LBP cause might be the fatigue and overloading. It is then disappearing with adequate rest. The present study is a systematic review on the age-frequent and causes of LBP among taekwondo (TKD) practitioners. Methodological quality identified 5 studies reporting the LBP in taekwondo athletes. According to these studies, the LBP prevalence was between 10 and 34 years old. The LBP emergence in TKD athletes might be caused by an inappropriate warm-up. This pain was associated with the neck level injuries. The study number aimed at LBP still lower to well understand causes of LBP in TKD although that LBP management could significantly reduce TKD injury rate. Key-words: injuries, taekwondo, low back pain causes, age categories.

Abstract
The theme of the work: The improvement of the treatment protocol of lumbar pain in top athletes (weightlifting, athletics). The purpose of the work: Reducing pain and dysfunction in the lumbar spine, because those seem to be some of the most frequent associated reasons that lead to failure the objectives to athletes. The main objective of the work: We tried by the action of physical therapy program to counteract the negative impact of repeated micro-traumatisms on mio - artro - kinetic system. We started from the premise that performing during as well as at the end of workouts of some physical medical exercises will relieve the painful symptoms by reducing muscle contractures and by increasing the elasticity of the spine and the pelvic and scapular-humeral belts. The results of the work: Clinical re-evaluation of the lumbar spine in top athletes in the study showed evident improvements on increasing the range of motion for flexion at the lumbar spine and significant painrelief symptoms at lower back.

Abstract
This paper deals with the problem of totally or partially blind children by using rhythmical gymnastics, problem which has been more and more advertised in the media. The positive influences of working with portable objects are represented by the development of mobility, especially regarding the coordonative skills. The purpose of the research is to implement attractive, but at the same time varied ways to develop mobility, in the content of mobility activities to children with sight deficiencies. The methods we used were the bibliographic study, the observation method, the experiment method, surveys and recording both through photos and videos. There were five children who took part in the research, chosen from the Special Sight Deficiency School, who have amblyopia and common comorbidities. Among the portable objects specific to competition rhythmical gymnastics were rope, hoop, ball and ribbon. The results have shown developments in the Flamingo and the Matorin test, testing the ambidextry and side sight and the depth test. The conclusion prove that the subjects were actively involved in the research, thus their cognitive and creative skills developed. Another aspect refers to diversifying the means and adapting them to the different types of deficiences. We consider that further use of portable objects will contribute to the development of children's with sight deficiencies mobility and especially to their self confidence. Keywords: coordinative skills, mobility, portable objects

Abstract
Postpartum is defined as the period during which general and local phenomena induced by maternal-ovular symbiosis disappear; for women who are not breastfeeding, it extends from the end of the fourth childbirth period to the first menstruation . In this study, tests were performed to assess the degree of lordosis , lung elasticity , abdominal elasticity and maximum forced expiratory volume per second (MFEVS). Three female patients were the subjects of this study: the first patient had a natural childbirth; the second, natural with episiotomy; and the third, caesarean section. The recovery program had a duration of six months and it consisted of massage and self-massage, breathing exercises and muscle toning exercises. Following the interpretation of the results, it was found a weight loss of 8.33 kg on average, a reduction of the degree of lordosis by up to 3⁰ on average, and improved abdominal elasticity, by an average of 2.16 cm. We have also found an increase in lung elasticity by an average of 3.5 cm and an improvement in maximum forced expiratory volume per second (MFEVS) by 5.5%. Following the therapeutic postpartum program, we can highlight the following: respiratory gymnastics played an important role in enhancing the elasticity of the lung and expiratory volume per second, Pilates exercises have helped tone the abdominal muscles and back muscles, which has led to a better postural control by reducing the lordosis and kyphosis.

Abstract
The recovery of athletes suffering from with simple meniscus injuries or associated with ligament injuries is extremely complex. The resumption of sports activity involves, above all, an extremely rigorous assessment to determine precisely the athlete's functional status without the risk of recurrences and giving him a presence as longer as possible in competition life. Starting from the hypothesis that at the six months from the cross ligament knee surgery the athlete recovers the strength parameter, but not necessarily the parameters of speed and power, we conducted a comparative study between control group that performed the program of recovery proposed by Middleton and the experimental group that performed a recovery program associated with plyometric exercises to improve speed and power. The assessment was done through universal methods but also by using the accelerometer Myotest, a fast extremely rigorous way in determining the mechanical parameters of performance (strength, speed, power). The results confirmed the hypothesis of the study: power and speed values were significantly lower for the control group, while the amount of force was relatively the same for both groups, which led to a recovery individualized and adapted to the particularities of sport. Through this study we wanted to demonstrate that applying a program that focuses on the recovery of all three mechanical parameters of the movement (speed, strength, power) an athlete can safely return to sport activity with all parameters to optimal values.

Abstract
Nitinol (NiTi) shape memory alloys are proposed for recuperative of sportive injuries. Round wires electrical properties are investigated in order to characterize the active elements. Constructive solutions are presented and response time and rate of the smart materials analyzed. The response of smart material, at different activations parameters, is included in the electromyography results of human muscles. As nice solutions for usage in thermal waters applications the corrosion resistance of nitinol wires was determined using a potentiost at equipment and the surface state evaluated by scanning electrons microscopy (SEM using a SE detector and 2 and 3D images of the affected area ). The pitting corrosion type modifies the metallic material surface causing a loss of nickel (Ni) element (determined using a X-ray energy dispersive analyzer EDAX). No shape memory effect deterioration or loss (the influence of corrosion on shape memory effect was evaluated using a differential scanning calorimeter DSC) was observed following the transformation temperatures critical points modification or the modification of martensite to austenite (M↔A) transformation characteristics.

Abstract
In order to obtain and apply a new type of orthesis a model of elbow mouvement is proposed in this article. Using on a bio-mechanical system virtual modeling we have the advantage of simulation possibility of normal or critical situations concerning the mechanical load of system elements. This way we manage to evidence the limits between normal and traumatically effect through tensions and deformation state that appear in the system components. The 2-3D obtained model present the advantage of dimensional parameterization having the possibility of adaptation at anthropometric dimensions of studied subjects. The mechanical tensions state, obtained by numerical simulation, reveal values smaller than critical limit of the bone mechanical resistance so we appreciate that medical recovery exercises using weights to 5 kg in flexion-extension movement don't have any traumatic risks of the bone. The simulation of deformations that appear in radius bone level highlight the importance of determination and correct usage of the material with proper characteristics. In the same time the necessity of realization of some experimental deformation tests was highligth. Keywords: biomechanics system; virtual model; flexion-extension

Abstract In performance gymnastics, the sports activity interruption, in general, but particularly for medical reasons, has a negative impact on sports performance. Thus, during the rehabilitation-recovery process, we should construct a complex program able to approach specific objectives, but also to diminish the effects induced by the kinetic activity suppression and to preserve the ideomotor images of the motor gestures used in gymnastics. This will allow the athletes to sooner resume their specific activity – training or competition – and will also create the conditions for maintaining an optimum health state in the non-affected structures. The present study aims at constructing an appropriate complex program based on the association of kinetic means specific to kinesitherapy with complementary kinetic means originating from the Far Est. The study material is represented by a group of 5 girl athletes practicing performance aerobic gymnastics, who have different spinal imbalances highlighted by means of electronic baropodometry. The global analysis of the study results, respectively the static podograms for the 5 athletes, emphasizes alterations expressed by the plantar pressure equilibration in the 4 podogram sections. Key-words: gymnastics, complementary kinetic means, spinal column.

Abstract
As a health-preservation therapy, Qigong uses means also common to medical gymnastics, by representing, from certain points of view, more than the latter one, due to the emphasis placed on the practitioner’s attention focusing on different aspects during practice. This research aims to highlight the Qigong impact on the individual, as a hypercomplex system, and to establish the specific methodological aspects that can optimize the effects of classical kinetic means on the spinal column pathology in subjects with hearing impairments. The research, organized under the experiment form, was conducted on hypoacousic subjects (30) with spinal imbalances (thoracic kyphosis/lumbar lordosis/kypholordosis), who were distributed in two groups, namely the experimental and control groups. The proposed design aims to associate body movement and breathing, according to a specific methodology focused on the “movement awareness”. Through some objective assessments (Schober’s test, IMS, IDS, shoulder-pelvis line etc.), we monitored the effects induced by the Qigong practice on the spinal column. The obtained results validated the research hypothesis, by proving the role of the association between classical and complementary kinetic means and by objectively highlighting their effects on the subjects’ spinal hypercurvatures (diminution), breathing capacity (improvement), static balance and effort capacity.

Abstract
The dynamic balance represents one of the fundamental functions that are involved in the execution of voluntary movements in humans. During this study we have investigated 62 young healthy subjects divided into two groups: performance athletes and young practicing of physical activity. The evaluation of dynamic balance was achieved using a Posturotest software platform with multiple baropodometers (4 modules 10000 sensors) on which the subjects executed a normal gait. The watched parameters were represented by the pressure and duration of the left- right steps. From processing the results it has been showed a normal distribution of data within the two groups, except the duration of left-right step gait for the young practitioners of physical activities group. There were significant differences between the two groups concerning the pressure steps – left, the duration steps for the left and right. In the case of pressure steps - right there have not been significant differences. The comparison of the results of the two groups shows that a good physical condition represents a real possibility to influence control and adjustment of dynamic balance. Keywords: dynamic balance, performance athletes, pressure of step.

Abstract
Lumbar spine fracture with medullary lesion is very severe because of the secondary paraplegia which is often irreversible. Functional prognosis of these fractures can be aggravated by other complications such as bladder paralysis, sacral eschars and decubitus ulcers of the lower limbs. The association of the mielic lumbar spine fracture with bilateral grade III B open fractures of the tibia and fibula darken even more the functional prognosis and puts difficult problems for the surgical treatment and functional recovery of the patient. This type of the tibia and fibula open fractures may be complicated with vascular lesions, nerve lesions, soft tissues major losses and bone infections. The aim of this case report was to present the surgical solutions chosen by the medical team for the treatment of this rare lesion association, if there were immediate or late complications of the surgical interventions and which is the late functional prognosis in this patient. I also want to emphasize the importance of the kinetic physical therapy during the entire period of hospitalization. The patient aged 38 years, victim of a traffic accident, was hospitalized in the Bucharest Clinical Emergency Hospital diagnosed with a L1 comminuted vertebral fracture with paraplegia and secondary bladder paralysis, associated with bilateral grade III B open fractures of the tibia and fibula. The patient was treated by a medical team formed by orthopedic surgeons, plastic surgeons and neurosurgeons. Because of bones infections high risk, the bilaterally open fractures of the tibia and fibula were stabilized with external fixators, after surgical debridement of the devitalized soft tissues. The L1 comminuted fracture was operated by a posterior stabilization with 4 transpedicular screws and 2 rods. To the left leg, after four weeks, was necessary a skin graft, which was completely integrated after two weeks. One month after surgery, the external fixators were removed and until the consolidation of
the tibia and fibula fractures, the patient had lower-extremity splints. The fractures evolved towards consolidation, in about four months, without local or general complications. The kinetic physical therapy was performed during the entire hospitalization period and was intensive and complex. The objectives of the kinetic physical therapy aimed at preventing of eschars, preventing the onset of vicious attitudes, maintaining normal respiratory function, preventing respiratory complications, maintaining joint mobility and avoiding the installation of leg vein thrombosis. One year after the accident the patient remained with irreversible paraplegia and bladder paralysis. Although the surgical treatment of the fractures was correct and efficient, assuming a major effort for both the medical team and the patient, neurological complication of lumbar vertebral fracture, paraplegia, limited very much the late functional prognosis obliging the patient to remain wheelchair dependent. The bladder paralysis caused by spinal cord injury forced the patient to put vesical catheter daily. In conclusion we may say that the surgical solutions chosen by the medical team were good, leading to the consolidation of the fractures, without any local or general complications, but if the paraplegia and bladder paralysis will remain irreversible, the patient will be dependent lifetime on the wheelchair and intermittent vesical catheterism.

Abstract
Paying respect for kinematical aspect in biomechanics few parameters, time variables or constant, are evidenced. The purpose of this study is represented by post-traumatically recovery of the elbow joint and a proper kinematical model is a straight one that supposes certain angular variations of elbow articulations. This model implies the determination of the positions, rates and accelerations of the critical points of kinematical chain of the upper limb. Definition of flexion-extension and pronation-supination angles, two independent variable geometrical parameters, impose the utilization of the two freedom degree model. Using this model the joint rehabilitation of elbow will be completed and the analytical functions determination for kinematical characteristics will be helpful for simulation of some particular situations of the investigated patient. Sportive injuries represent a common cause of active members withdrawal from activity and ending the career. Recuperative methods can be applied with success if all the kinematical aspects are known. Keywords: kinematical model; biomechanics; flexion-extension; pronation-supination.

Abstract
A titanium based alloy with applications as implantable material was chemically graved through different methods in order to improve the adhesion of a thin hydroxyapatite (HA) film. The aim of this study is to increase the biocompatibility of a metallic material by deposition of a ceramique material on his surface. The metallic material known as titan grade 5 (Ti6Al4V) was investigated through scanning electrons microscopy (SEM with SE detector for 2 and 3D images) and X-ray energy dispersive analyze (EDAX) after chemical attack and after HA deposition. Hydroxyapatite was deposited using an electrophoretic equipment each time using the same experimental conditions so a comparison can be done. After deposition the material was calcined and few mechanical properties investigated. The experimental results present an homogeneous layer formed with a very good adhesion and dimensional reduced particles. The metallic material, used as dental implant, present a better corrosion resistance in simulated body fluid electrolyte and the EIS (Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy) tests evidence the formation of two layers one compact of TiO2 (titanium oxide) and a porous one of HA on top of the surface.

Abstract
The need for prolonged use and without a break of VDTs and also improper environmental conditions determine different disorders, musculoskeletal disorders being the most common ones. Concomitent use of more VDTs becomes more and more frequent, especially in case of certain professions: this practice encourages installing of cervicalgia. Hypothesis: A constant program of physical exercises can determine pain diminishing, increase range of motion and can prevent relapses in case of cervico-cephalic algetical syndrome at a patient that uses concomitantly 2 VDTs. B.A. 28 years old , marketing specialist, has been diagnosed with cervico-cephalic algetical syndrome and have performed 10 physiotherapy sessions. At the end of treatment, improvements have been registered for most of the parameters initially evaluated. Even though, on short term, results have been favourable, after 4 months evaluation, period when subject has occasionally performed physical exercises, parameters value has approached to the one obtained on initially testing. For generalizing these case study results, it is requested a further research on a high number of subjects, more monitors will be used and the physiotherapist’s recommendations will be highly followed.

Abstract
Physical inactivity is a serious problem for population health. The aim of our research was to determine the extent of damage on the cervical region and on the quality of life of those people who maintain prolonged monotonous positions. Our research was based on the questionnaire survey method and was conducted during September-December 2013 on the display screen users from several institutions in Bucharest. Statistical processing of the results was obtained using two questionnaires (Neck Disability Index and SF-36 Health Survey) on 400 computer users. This revealed the restriction of daily activities due to cervical pain phenomena and the diminishing the quality of life of the research subjects.
The results of General Health (63.0%), Mental Health (66.8%) and Vitality (70.5%) scales of the SF-36 Health Survey questionnaire is due to the diminishing quality of life of our research subjects. We recommend a computer work schedule of maximum 8 hours per day and regular physical exercises, performed both in the rehabilitation gym and in the office, in order to prevent occurrence of musculoskeletal disorders and changes in quality of life.

Abstract
Overweight is a preliminary stage for obesity, the obesogenic risk (potential) being higher during adolescence due to hormonal influence. This study is based on a case study performed on a girl age 13, who was overweight since first years of childhood and who was already showing clinical signs of a painful osteoarticular pathologies The study aims at demonstrating the role of diet and kinesiotherapy in weight loss, also its role in the improvement of clinical signs. Methods: anamnesis, clinical examination, evaluating the mental health, adopting a therapeutic program based on dietary therapy and kinetic schedule for 4 month psychological support Results: weight loss obtained through personalized diet, balanced nutrition and reduced sugars and carbohydrates with fast- absorption, improved body composition by increasing muscle mass through kinetic techniques, improved body posture through akinetic techniques respectively for the correction of posture in case of bones deviations, improved endurance by increasing training progressively, mental positive tone obtained through psychological counseling and family support.

Abstract
In some of their previous works, the authors described and substantiated the method of spine functional proportionality indexes and its preventive value in cases of functional disorders of the spine. We intend to continue broadening the scope of this method, from prevention to pathology. This approach will be based, in part, on a series of case studies, looking at the effects generated by the application of the method in pathology. We will present a case study in which the patient has sequelae of the Lyme disease particularly in the posture and in the neuromuscular control of movement. An initial assessment and two interim assessments were conducted, using the method of indexes of muscular and articular functional proportionality of the spine and computerized somatoscopic examination. The recovery protocol consisted in control exercises with visual feedback on force-amplitude curves, within 20 sessions, aimed at rebuilding the agonists-antagonists coordination by muscle groups and chains responsible for overall body posture, and the enforcement of the strength-increasing method by movement control exercises for deficient groups and chains of muscles. The results highlight the improvement of the overall body posture, and the tendency to optimize the indexes of muscular and articular functional proportionality of the spine, giving us hope that the extension of the method from prevention to pathology is likely to be done successfully.

Abstract
Sedentary lifestyle leads to appearance and aggravation of many diseases. In the bone, it promotes the decrease of bone density, while the mechanical stimulation of the bone plays an important role in the maintenance and growth of bone mass. Muscle contraction causes a mechanical deformation of the bone, followed by the appearance of electrical phenomena which lead to the bone formation process. This study aims at improving certain parameters of kinetic programs used in the treatment or for the prevention of osteoporosis. Materials and methods. We proposed the collection of electrical activity from the bone surface during various types of muscle contractions by means of needle electrodes and recording it with a 24-bit biosignal amplifier. Subsequently, we compared the results obtained from the active persons with the results obtained from the sedentary persons. Conclusions: By comparing the behavior of the bone during various types of muscular contraction in trained people versus sedentary ones, we found that the higher the muscle stress, the higher the bone surface electric activity. Therefore, the stress level must be adapted to anatomic-functional features of each subject and to his training level. Keywords: Muscle contraction; bone mass; electrical activity in bone.

Abstract: Soccer is a sport that requires a variety of physiological demands due to the varied nature of game play. This case-analysis focusses on one particular youth academy footballer in the 2nd tier of English Professional Football, who is due to be considered for selection into the professional rank, this year. A needs-analysis was carried out that determined the main physiological parameters for a youth academy footballer to possess, in order for them to make a smooth transition into the professional sphere. The case-study was then assessed for these parameters and it was noticed that their explosive power was insufficient. A 5-week complex, combination training programme was put in place that focused on strength and explosive power development. The case-study engaged fairly well with the training programme and, after 5 weeks, was re-assessed for their physiological capacity. It was seen that improvements were made in counter-movement jump capacity (+17%) and ½ squat 1rep max (+16%) with a reduction in time to complete a 10m (-7%) and 30m (-4%) sprint. It was deemed that a complex, combination training programme is a simple, yet effective, means of enhancing soccer-specific physiological parameters in youth academy footballers, as it focuses on neural development of musculoskeletal physiology.

Chronic Cardiovascular Adaptation To Exercise Training Including Atletes Heart And Prevention

Abstract. Cardiovascular responses to training are an increase in maximal oxygen uptake, stroke volume, and cardiac output with no change or a small decrease in maximal heart rate. Systemic vascular conductance increases and there is also an increase in the maximal systemic arteriovenous oxygen difference. Cardiac output at submaximal levels of work does not change significantly but the increase in stroke volume is associated with a relative bradycardia at rest and at any given submaximal level of oxygen uptake. Vigorous athletic training is associated with specific physiologic and structural cardiovascular change, which comprises what has been termed the athletic heart syndrome. These changes are non-pathologic and represent appropriate adaptations to physical training.Studies have suggested that there is a continuum of athletic adaptations depending on the training stress of the athlete. For endurance-trained athletes, the heart has to adapt to principally a chronic volume overload that results in an increase in both left ventricular end diastolic diameter and left ventricular wall thickness. This results in eccentric hypertrophy with a more pronounced increase in wall thickness than expected. The strength-trained athlete adapts by developing a concentric hypertrophy with an increase in absolute and relative wall thickness without significant changes in end-diastolic diameter. Exercise training is associated with a physiological increase in left ventricular (LV) wall thickness, cavity size and mass that have been known as athlete's heart. The extent to which LV dilatation and hypertrophy are altered depends on the type of physical training, endurance or strength. Risk factors for CHD that we cannot controlare heredity (and family history), male sex, andadvanced age. Those that we can control areabnormal blood lipids and lipoproteins, hypertension,smoking, physical inactivity, obesity, diabetes, and insulin resistance. The levels of activity associated with a reduced risk for CHD can be lower than those needed to increase aerobic capacity.Physical training improves the heart`s contractility, work capacity, and coronary circulation.It is an indisputable fact that strenuous training in athletes causes various physiological changes in athlete`s heart depending on the type of sport and training they do; also regular exercise decreases CHD risk factors and increases quality of life among ordinary people.
