Objective : This study examined the effects of yaksun recipe on the anti-fatigue and endurance enhancement properties in the forced swimming test (FST). Methods : The treatment groups were divided randomly into three groups: water-treated FST (control), 200 mg/kg of red ginseng-treated FST (RG200), 200 mg/kg of water extract of yaksun recipe-treated FST (YS200). After FST, an autopsy was performed, and the tissue and serum were collected. Results : The swimming exhaustion time in the RG200 and YG200 groups were significantly increased compared to the control group. The YG200 group fatigue indicators, D-Lactate, LDH(lactate dehydrogenase), creatine kinase, and ammonia content, significantly decreased compared to the control group. In addition, liver glycogen content significantly increased in the YG200 and tended to increase in RG200. Likewise, the glucose contents were significantly increased compared to the control group. The muscle damage indicators GPT (glutamic pyruvic transaminase) and BUN (blood urea nitrogen), a protein metabolite, in the YG200 group significantly decreased compared to the control group. Furthermore the concentration of liver lipid peroxidation, MDA(malondialdehyde) levels significantly decreased in the RG200 and YG200 compared to control group. Conclusions : These results suggest that YG200 can increase the endurance exercise capacity by decreasing the fatigue indicators, saving glycogen, and elevating the antioxidant defense system.

Hydrotherapy is aimed at evoking short-term and long-term adaptation-mechanisms of patients. This means that a patient should be able to adapt to the changed environment. both mentally and physically. Hydrotherapy is widely used to treat patients with generalised rheumatic discases. Hydrotherapy may be applied as a single therapy. in combination with other therapeutic interventions or as one pan of a complex series of stimuli as e.g. during spa therapy. A treatment regimen in water is constructed according to the same rules as dry land exercise. However, methods specifically designed or adjusted for hydrotherapy can be used. The Halliwick is suitale in particular to facilitate arthrokinetic reactions as a part of training postural stability. The Bad Ragaz Ring is a hydortherapy modification of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation. Patterns of arms. logs and trunk are used to increase muscle function and flexibility. Other techniques are applicable in water too: mobilization and manipulation techniques of the joints can be integrated in hydrotherapeutic methods. The continuous research is needed for many interesting issues of hydrotherapy in new future.

This study investigated the effects of Oligonol intake on cortisol, interleukin (IL)-$1{\beta}$, and IL-6 concentrations in the serum at rest and after physical exercise loading. Nineteen healthy sedentary male volunteers participated in this study. The physical characteristics of the subjects were: a mean height of $174.2{\pm}2.7$ cm, a mean weight of $74.8{\pm}3.6$ kg and a mean age of $22.8{\pm}1.3$ years. Each subject received 0.5 L water with Oligonol (100 mg/day) (n = 10) or a placebo (n = 9) daily for four weeks. The body composition, the white blood cell (WBC) and differential counts as well as the serum cortisol, IL-$1{\beta}$, and IL-6 concentrations were measured before and after Oligonol intake. The cortisol concentration and serum levels of IL-$1{\beta}$ and IL-6 after Oligonol intake were significantly decreased compared to before treatment (P < 0.01, respectively). In addition, the rate of increase of these factors after exercise was decreased compared to the placebo group. There was no change in the WBC and differential cell counts. These results suggest that oral Oligonol intake for four weeks had a significant effect on inhibition of inflammatory markers in healthy young men.

Freshwater softshell turtle (Trionyx sinensis) extract has been used traditionally as a tonic soup, and to recover from physical fatigue. To support these claims, the forelimb grip strength of mice was measured after feeding a soft-shell turtle extract for 7 days. The T. sinensis extract significantly increased the grip strength to $1.25{\pm}0.07N$ (P<0.01), which is 16.8% higher than the force on day 0. After exercising, the blood glucose levels in extract-fed mice were 202% higher and urea levels were 73% lower, which were both significantly different than the levels observed after control treatment. Lactate dehydrogenase was significantly higher by 314%, and glutathione peroxidase increased by 165%. In addition, the obesity markers, serum triglyceride and cholesterol, decreased to 62% and 49%, respectively, after mice were fed the extract. These data show that the T. sinensis extract provided more energy for forelimb exercise, prevented protein catabolism and muscle fatigue, and decreased the oxidative stress caused by an exhaustive workout.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of aqua-noodles on the practice of underwater walking in patients with hemiplegia. Method: After an oral explanation and signing an IRB approved consent form 10 participants ($66.8{\pm}10.75yr$, $165.3{\pm}8.79cm$, $73.6{\pm}46kg$) agreed to participate in this study. Each of the participants was required to walk with the aqua noodles and without the aqua-noodles in a swimming pool. Each participant was asked to walk a distance of 5 m a total of 10 times, 5 with and 5 without the aqua-noodles. The depth of the swimming pool was at 1.3 m, approximately chest height. The following variables were calculated for analysis; height of the knee (m), knee joint ROM ($^{\circ}$), ankle joint ROM ($^{\circ}$), knee joint maximum angular velocity ($^{\circ}/sec$), and ankle joint maximum angular velocity ($^{\circ}/sec$). Results: First, there was a significant increase in time (s) for the maximum knee height to reach as well as the maximum knee height (m) increased when the participant used the aqua-noodles. Second, there was a statistically significant decrease in stride length when the aqua-noodles were used. Conclusion: This study helps to verify that the effect of underwater walking exercise can provide a suitable walking exercise environment. The results of this study provide systematic scientific information about how walking in water can be used for the rehabilitation of patients and the elderly.

본 연구는 운동훈련과 목초액의 장기섭취가 혈중 지질성분 및 항산화활성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 하였다. 28마리의 Sprague Dawley 수컷 쥐를 이용하여 대조군(CON), 운동군(EXE), 목초액섭취군(VIN), 그리고 목초액과 운동군을 병행한 군(VINEXE)으로 각각 7마리 씩 구분하였다. 식이는 고지방식이(40%)를 기본으로 하였으며, 운동군은 4주간의 트레드밀 달리기하였으며, 목초액은 경구투여하였다. 목초액을 섭취하지 않는 집단에게는 동일한 양의 증류수를 경구투여하여 동일한 스트레스를 유지할 수 있도록 하였다. 체중의 변화는 운동 후반기에 CON에 비하여 VINEXE이 유의하게 억제되는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 지방량의 변화는 VIN 및 EXE군에서 유의한 상승의 억제가 나타났으며(p<0.05), VINEXE 역시 동일한 결과가 나타났다(p<0.05). 혈액성분 중 글루코스와 암모니아는 CON에 비하여 다른 집단에서 유의하게 낮은 것으로 나타났으며(p<0.05). 혈중 지질 중 TC, LDL-C는 CON에 비하여 다른 집단이 유의하게 낮은 것으로 나타났으며, VINEXE의 유의한 상승효과가 나타났다(p<0.05). HDL-C는 EXE와 VINEXE군에서 유의하게 개선되는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). MDA 함량은 각각의 집단간 모두 유의한 변화를 보였으며(p<0.05), SOD 활성은 VIN과 VINEXE가 다른 집단에 비하여 유의하게 높은 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 이상과 같은 결과를 볼 때 4주간의 운동을 하는 동안 목초액 섭취는 체중 증가 억제 및 혈중 지질성분의 개선, 그리고 지질과산화 억제로 나타나며, 건강 증진에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것이라는 점을 시사하고 있다.

본 연구는 최대하 부하 트래드밀 운동과 간헐적 부위별 인체 냉각 시 심부와 말초 부위의 동적 체온조절을 관찰하기 위해 고안되었다. 이를 위해 총 다섯명의 남자 피험자가 세 가지 실험 조건, 머리와 손 냉각 조건(HH cooling), 다리 냉각 조건(Leg Cooling), 냉각하지 않는 대조군(Control)에 참여하였고, 모든 실험은 기온 24±1℃와 습도 50±5%RH로 유지되는 인공기후실에서 수행되었다. 피험자들은80%HR_max의 트래드밀 운동과 이어지는 회복 스케쥴을 두 번 반복하였고, 인체 부위별 냉각은 15℃의 물이 순환하는 액체 냉각모자, 장갑, 다리를 덮는 형태의 담요를 이용하여 회복 시에만 적용되었다. 본 연구 결과, (1) 직장온도(T_re)는 세 조건 간에 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다; (2) 피부온도는 부위별로 특징되어지는 다양한 체온조절 현상을 보였다. 특히, 운동의 시작 시점에서 보이는 피부온도의 초기 하강은 주로 가슴, 넓적다리, 종아리, 손가락 피부 온도에서 관찰되었으며, 이 중 손가락 온도(T_fing)에서의 초기 하강 현상은 매우 현저했다. (3) 피부 온도가 초기 하강을 보이는 동안 T_re는 점점 증가했다. (4) 두 번째 운동 시작 시 T_fing에서의 초기 하강 규모는 Control 조건에서 평균 4.8℃, HH cooling 조건에서는 5.1℃, Leg cooling 조건에서는 3.4℃로, 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<0.05). 초기 하강 현상을 보인 시간은 Control 조건에서 평균 8.1분으로 HH cooling 조건에서는 7.9분, Leg cooling 조건에서는 6.3분보다 길었으나 통계적 차이는 발견되지 않았다. 결론적으로, 트래드밀 운동의 개시기에 관찰된 피부온도 하강 현상은 인체 심부의 온열 상태의 진행과는 반대되므로, 비 온열적 요인을 반영한다. 특히, T_fing에서 초기 하강의 규모는 인체 부위별 냉각에 의해 영향을 받았다. 따라서, 말초 부위의 피부온도 하강 현상은 운동 중 피부면의 온열 상태 예측 시 주의깊게 고려되어져야 한다.
