The typical clinical symptoms are exhaustion, dyspnea, and chest pain. This study examines the effect of laser acupuncture (LA), involving the use of laser treatment on acupuncture points, on boosting immunity and reducing the inflammatory symptoms in patients with post-COVID syndrome. Material and methods: A total of 80 patients of both sexes with post-COVID symptoms were enrolled. They were randomly divided into the LA group (n = 40), which received LA three times/week for 12 weeks, and a placebo group (n = 40) which received sham LA. The following measures were taken for both groups before and after the study: total lymphocyte count (TLC), Interleukin 6 (IL-6), dyspnea using the modified Medical Research Counseling Dyspnea Scale (mMRC), and fatigue using the Chalder Fatigue Scale (CFQ-11). Results: The LA group showed a significant elevation in TLC (p < 0.001) as well as a significant reduction in IL-6 levels, dyspnea, and fatigue (p < 0.001). The placebo group demonstrated a significant increase in TLC (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The use of lasers at particular acupuncture points related to lung and immunity showed promising results in ameliorating the typical main symptoms post-COVID, including chronic fatigue and dyspnea. © 2023 The authors.

These exercises are aerobic and dynamic exercises consisting of various movements to increase body flexibility and strength. The purpose of the study was to find out the efficacy of calisthenics training on performance of soccer players. Material and methods: Forty healthy soccer players aging between 18-25 years who actively participating in soccer were randomly assigned to 2 groups. Group-A followed regular soccer training and Group-B received calisthenics training along with regular soccer training for 3 days/week for 8 weeks. The outcome measures were 30-yard dash test, Illinois agility test, Sit and reach test, Vertical jump, Star excursion balance test and SAI soccer skill tests (30-m running with ball test, kicking test and juggling). Results: The between group results for 30-yard dash test, Illinois agility test, vertical jump, sit and reach test, 30-m running with ball test, juggling and anterior reach in star excursion balance test were found statistically significant (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Calisthenics training with regular soccer training improves overall performance of the soccer players by achieving more speed, agility, flexibility, kicking accuracy and control on ball. © 2022 Advances in Rehabilitation.

Electromyographic biofeedback or myofeedback (MF) is a promising treatment in rehabilitation, although studies supporting its benefits in MSD have declined in recent years. The objective of this review was to describe the efficacy of MF in function recovery, strength increase and muscle relaxation in MSD. Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) were identified in Pubmed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cinahl and Science Direct databases dated September 2, 2021. Four independent researchers reviewed articles titles and abstracts to determine their eligibility. Risk of bias and articles quality was assessed using Rob2 tool (Cochrane) and PEDro scale. Functionality improvement, strength increase, and muscle relaxation were considered as main outcome. Search strategy yielded 160 articles after eliminating duplicates, reducing to 26 when selection criteria were applied. Articles were classified in strengthening (n = 16) and muscle relaxation (n = 10) according to MF therapeutic aim. Eighteen articles were rated as low risk of bias (69.22%) and an average internal validity of 6 points was obtained. Studies showed improvements in functionality, strength increase and pain reduction with statistical significance when MF were complemented with therapeutic exercises or other physical agents modalities (p < 0.005). MF also showed a decrease in fear of movement, depression, and pain perception, suggesting central modulating effects. This review supports MF efficacy in MSD rehabilitation, showing improvements in functionality and pain reduction. The review allowed to establish a dosage recommendation based on articles analysis which can be considered for future RCTs. © The Author(s), 2022.

This is why standardized training has been designed for groups of subjects of varying endurance. Material and methods: Patients with heart failure and implantable cardioverter defibrillator who wished to do interval training program. The program included 55 patients. We divided them into two study groups. The first group had lower exercise tolerance level (3.94 ± 0.72 MET), and the other had higher exercise tolerance level (7.97 ± 1.80 MET). The training group had an 8-week long training program. The patients received treatment at an outpatient clinic three times a week. Patients had cardiac stress tests with modified Bruce protocol before receiving physical therapy and after they have finished the training program. We assessed the metabolic equivalent of task (METS), the duration of exercise, blood pressure, heart rate and BMI. Results: We observed longer duration of cardiac stress test performance and improvement of exercise tolerance. In patients from the group with lower exercise tolerance, the level of exercise tolerance was 3.94 ± 0.72 MET before therapy and rose to 5.93 ± 1.12 MET (p < 0.001) after therapy. In the group of higher exercise tolerance, the level was 7.97 ± 1.80 MET before therapy and rose to 9.32 ± 2.01 MET (p < 0.001) after the training cycle. Conclusions: Participation in 8-week interval training cycle resulted in greater increase of exercise tolerance and exercise time, as well as hemodynamic parameters in patients with lower exercise tolerance. © 2020 Termedia Publishing House Ltd.
