Primary Outcomes (3)
A physioprophylactic program for children aimed at normalizing body weight, improving physical fitness and correcting body posture
The result of the project will be the development of physioprophylactic programs based on medical training aimed at normalizing body weight, improving and correcting body posture and improving physical fitness. The programs will be adapted to the problems diagnosed in control tests and the age and gender of the examined children and adolescents Their final effectiveness will be assessed during follow-up tests performed immediately after the end of the 12-week program and follow-up tests after 6 months.
01.2027-12.2027
Physiophylaxis in adulthood
The result of the preliminary tests will be an estimate of the scale of occurrence of body weight abnormalities and body posture abnormalities, which are not monitored during this period. An important cognitive element will also be the assessment of the physical fitness of adults, taking into account their age, gender, body weight, forms of work undertaken, and exposure to stress. Their final effectiveness will be assessed during follow-up tests performed immediately after the end of the 12-week program and follow-up tests after 6 months.
01.2026-06.2027
Physiophylaxis in seniors
The result of the preliminary tests will be an estimate of the scale of occurrence of body weight abnormalities and body posture abnormalities, which are not monitored during this period. The physioprophylactic programs carried out will enable the development of standardized training programs aimed at improving the elderly's physical fitness, preventing falls, and maintaining the functionality and independence of older people. An important cognitive element will also be the assessment of the physical fitness of seniors, taking into account their age, gender, body weight, previously undertaken forms of work, exposure to stress, and quality of life. Their final effectiveness will be assessed during follow-up tests performed immediately after the end of the 12-week program and follow-up tests after 6 months.

Interventions
Based on the assessment of body weight and composition, a 12-week physiophylactic program will be carried out, adapted to the age and gender of the subjects. The program will be carried out twice a week for 30 to 60 minutes (depending on the group). The basis of the program will be the implementation of exercises that reduce fat mass, increase the flexibility and productivity of muscle mass. The classes will be conducted as part of medical training with a training load increasing to at least 85% of HR Max. The project will include theoretical classes for parents, children and seniors on eating habits, a proper age-appropriate diet, diet changes depending on the subject's health condition and physical activity, and the impact of diet on the process of puberty, adulthood and aging.
Based on the body posture assessment, a 12-week physiotherapy program will be carried out, adapted to the age and gender of the subjects. The program will be carried out twice a week for 30 to 60 minutes (depending on the group). The basis of the program will be the implementation of exercises that strengthen the muscle corset, reducing asymmetrical positioning, habitual and during the implementation of professional tasks. The classes will be conducted using medical training and resistance exercises. The project will include theoretical classes for parents on sitting habits, the importance of physical activity in a child's development, the selection of footwear...
Based on the assessment of physical fitness, a 12-week physiotherapy program will be carried out, adapted to the age and gender of the participants. The program will be carried out twice a week for 30 to 60 minutes (depending on the group). The basis of the program will be the implementation of exercises aimed at improving physical fitness, with particular emphasis on impaired motor skills. The classes will be conducted using functional training, resistance and stretching exercises, strengthening all muscle groups. In the case of children, special attention will be paid to the strength of the upper limbs, in the case of seniors, balance and coordination exercises will be introduced to improve time and space orientation. In all groups, the main goal is to improve functional fitness The project will include theoretical classes for parents, children and seniors on the importance of physical activity in the quality of life, in the process of maturation and aging.
Body composition assessment will be carried out using the BIA method on an eight-electrode body composition analyzer from TAnita. They will be marked: total mass, Total fat mass (FM) and segmental fat mass for five body segments: right leg (RL FM), Left leg (LL FM), right arm (RA FM), Left Arm (LA FM) trunk (TR FM). total fat-free mass (FFM) and segmental for five body segments: right leg (RL FFM), Left leg (LL FFM), right arm (RA FFM), Left Arm (LA FMM) trunk (TR FMM). Predicted total and segmental muscle mass (PMM) for five body segments: right leg (RL PMM), Left leg (LL PMM), right arm (RA PMM), Left Arm (LA PMM) trunk (TR PMM). Total water content (TBW) including intracellular water (ICW) and extracellular water (ECW)
The Kasperczyk method was used to assess body posture, including physiotherapeutic assessment in both standing and sitting positions. The symmetry of the head, shoulders, spine curvatures, knee joints and foot positioning were assessed. The symmetry of the head position was examined in all three planes and in all movements, i.e. flexion - extension, right turn - left turn, rotation and combined movements. The lateral curvatures of the spine (scoliosis) and their physiological curvatures, their deepening or shallowing in all sections of the spine, as well as the mobility of the spine in all physiological planes of movement were assessed. The position of the shoulder and hip girdle was assessed, as well as the position of the upper limbs at the level of the knees and feet. The mobility of the lower and upper limbs was examined.
It depends on the age of the person being examined. In the case of children, the EUROFIT physical fitness test is carried out with modifications for age and gender. For the senior group, the Rikli and Jones test is used
Balance assessment using the Zebris platform Static measurement - with eyes open and closed, assessing the load on the limbs during standing expressed in %, Balance analysis measurement - with eyes open and closed, test in a standing position, barefoot. The measurement duration is 30 seconds and the break between measurements is 30-60 seconds. Deflections of the center of gravity in the frontal and sagittal planes Length of the center of gravity swing path CoP - SPL \[cm\]. Inside the calculated ellipse lies 95% of the CoP location measurement data: amplitude, amplitude height, ellipse area (orientation of the direction of the ellipse's longitudinal axis relative to the platform's longitudinal axis, indicating clockwise rotation).
