Introduction. During their career athletes are at risk of injuries due to high-intensity training, overtraining, and untreated sports-related micro-injuries. As they advance in years, they experience the results of previous injuries. Aim of Study. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of physical activity and their changes on the quality of life in the old age. Material and Methods. A review of literature was performed with the use of keywords: “sport injuries”, “aging”, “quality of life”, “old age”, “former athletes”, “osteoarthritis”, “physical activity” in databases such as PubMed, SPORTDiscus, MEDLINE, Springer, Google Scholar. Results. Degenerative changes in the joints are far more common in former athletes than in the general population. Well-developed muscles resulting from sustained physical activity prevent limitations in daily life (including those resulting from degenerative changes). Degenerative changes caused by long-time sport activity have no significant effect on the quality of life in older people. Conclusion. Physical activity plays an important role in reducing physical deficits in everyday life of the elderly, thus contributing to improving their quality of life.
Annual shedding of antlers by males is a characteristic feature of most deer species. Regrowth is very fast, reaching 2 cm/day for some species and making them an interesting model for studying tissue regeneration processes. The aim of this study was to compare the contents of calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus in antlers and cranial bones of European red deer from Western Pomerania, Poland. We obtained 30 antlers from three forestry districts that differed in the extent of environmental pollution with fluorine compounds, SO₂, NOx, CO, and CO₂ (Trzebież, Rokita and Gryfino). Deer were assigned to two age groups: from 2 to 4 years, and from 6 to 8 years. Powdered samples of cranial bones and antler base obtained with a dental drill were dissolved in nitric acid. Calcium and magnesium contents were measured by atomic absorption spectroscopy, while phosphorus was determined colorimetrically. The content of calcium was higher in antlers - (mean 133.96 mg/g) hardly surprising given the higher calcified cartilage and immature bone content in antler as opposed to cranial bone (mean 123.79 mg/g). Phosphorus content was slightly higher in bones than in antlers (84.62 mg/g and 83.58 mg/g, respectively), which suggests that Ca:P ratios are different in the mineral phase or that there is more P in bone compared to the antler matrix. No difference in magnesium content was noted (5.23 to 5.46 mg/g). Statistical analysis revealed significant differences depending on age of the animal and level of industrial pollution in the animal's habitat.
