As metabolic and multiorgan distempers arising from alcohol and medicines abuse predispose to nutritional state disorders, a simple method of nutriture assessment of hospitalized intoxicated patients is searched in order to help to improve the treatment effects. One hundred and thirten patients hospitalized in the Department of Clinical Toxicology, including 65 chronic alcoholics and 48 intoxicated with medicines were examined for the nutritional state. The Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) method was applied parallely with anthropometry; the examination was performed twice: on admittance and on discharge of each patient. On the basis of anthropometry, the nutritional state of alcohol and medicines intoxicated patients was unsatisfactory in 76% of examined group, with the cases of malnutrition and risk of malnutrition obviously more prevalent than overnutrition, especially in the cases of alcohol abusers. Proportions of the subjects qualified to specific groups of nutriture were dependent on the method used for nutritional assessment, and the MNA method tended to overestimate the nutritional state when compared with anthropometry but did not regard the cases of overnutrition. The MNA has to be completed with selected anthropometric measures in order to be useful in nutriture assessment of young adults.
Both linear and aerial elements of forest recreational management should be equipped with recreational facilities which are called “small architecture”. Small architecture is very diverse and serves many different functions, thus it is very important in recreation space. Recreation facilities have to be safe for potential users and offer comfort and relaxation. These conditions can be fulfilled if the construction of facilities is based on anthropometric features of the users. In this paper, there are presented the results of analyses carried out with regard to adaptating technical parameters of selected forest facilities to potential user anthropometry. The study was conducted in Warsaw municipal forests. The analyses were based on analytical formulas, which give appropriate information about the parameters of perfectly designed facilities. Examination of technical condition of the recreation facilities analyzed was also included in the study.
While planning, and/or improving the existing workplace it is necessary to utilise the optimal dimensions and arrangement of the workplace, organisation of work-movements and the physical and mental needs of the man as well. The contribution introduces a simple process that is possible to use while planning or rationalizing the workplace. The process is plan is such way to respect the basic ergonomic principles.

Anthropometric chest structure of Polish centenarians

72%
The aim of the study was to analyze somatometric chest structure in persons aged over 100 years. The study group included 83 women and 13 men, aged 100-108 yr (median age -100.8 yr), who participated in the scientific project: 'Genetic and Environmental Factors of Longevity of Polish Centenarians' in 2002-2004. The Rohrer index of chest structure using acromion-acromion length and body height were compared with the results of pulse oximetry, spirometry, and the level of general physical activity. The majority of the centenarians had a pyknic structure of the chest, most likely as a result of a progressive reduction of body height and chest stooping. In comparison with the women who had marked alterations of chest structure, females with less profound changes had a lower respiratory rate, better tolerance of exercise, higher forced vital capacity, and a higher physical activity. A small number of male subjects studied made it impossible to analyze statistical correlations in this group. We conclude that there is a need to redefine anthropometric indices for a reliable assessment of chest structure in senescent subjects.
Celem pracy była analiza zgodności wyników oceny składu ciała mierzonego dwoma metodami, antropometryczną i spektrofotometryczną. Badania przeprowadzono w 2003 roku wśród 189 studentów II roku. Oceną składu ciała (zawartość tłuszczu w ciele - FM, kg, beztłuszczową masą ciała - FFM, kg, odsetek tłuszczu w ciele - %FM, %) przeprowadzono dwoma metodami, tj. antropometryczną i spektrofotometryczną. Porównanie populacyjnej i indywidualnej zgodności uzyskanych wyników przeprowadzono za pomocą testu Kruskala-Wallisa i chi2 oraz współczynnika korelacji Pearsona, przy p ≤ 0,05. Stwierdzono wysoką zgodność ilościowego oszacowania składu ciała metodą antropometryczną i spektrofotometryczną w ujęciu indywidualnym i populacyjnym. Wykazano jednak brak zgodności rozkładów populacji dla analizowanych parametrów w ocenie populacyjnej i indywidualnej. Świadczy to o ograniczonej możliwości bezpośredniego porównywania wyników uzyskiwanych obiema metodami w jakościowej ocenie składu ciała.
The purpose of the present study was: 1) to determine young tennis players’ fitness and anthropometric characteristics; and 2) to determine to what extent these characteristics relate to the players’ national ranking. Forty young (age 15.1 ±0.4) trained male tennis players, who were ranked from 1 to 40 in their age group in the country’s youth tennis players list, were tested for speed, speed endurance, flexibility, strength, specific agility and quickness, aerobic capacity, height, and weight. Significant correlations were found between the players’ ranking and speed (r = 0.430 – 0.475), specific agility and quickness (r = 0.626), speed endurance (r = 0.562), strength (r = –0.416), aerobic capacity (r = –0.581), flexibility (r = 0.352), height (r = –0.443), and weight (r = –0.293). Stepwise regression analysis indicated that specific agility and quickness accounted for almost 40% of the players’ ranking, while its combination with the players’ height accounted for 56%. The results imply the overall importance of anaerobic capabilities and tennis-specific movements to the young tennis players’ ranking. The results also emphasize the importance of tennis-specific tests to the young tennis players’ performance evaluation.
