The promotion of the public health represents an important task of the popular sport. In order to be able to manage this task fairly, it is compellingly necessary to analyze the factors taking influence on the activity ratio. The frequent occurrence of pain affects the activity ratio negatively. The popular sport sees itself with an increasing obsolescence of the population and all the same with older sportsman and club members confronted. Therefore individual kinds of sport must, in order to be arranged attractive for older sportsmen it, be examined on their pain and arthritis of promoting elements. These are to be reduced then and be supplemented by jointcareful exercise and training programs, which make a pain reduced sport exercising possible. Since there are senior groups in many associations, these programs are relevant not only for the individual sportsman to be implement but wide range of importance. Here a close co-operation of coaches and physiotherapists is in demand, in order to become fair to the complex requirements on such a training. A Brandenburgian Judoka, who trains active for over fifty years, suffers for many years under arthritis in the hip joint. By the implementation of some physical therapy relevant training contents and a regular goal agreement, is it possible to merge the sportsman actively, despite hip joint total endoprosthesis, into the training happening.

In order to work against this process and keep health consequences of long-term unemployment as small as possible (not least for reasons of the reintegration into the job market), the health promotion stands increasingly in the focus. A goal of the following study was to find out the effects of a strength-perseveranceoriented back training in regard to physical, psychological and social level. 13 longterm unemployed women (age 56.08 ± 3.17 years) were examined and trained 5 weeks. The state of health and the movement behavior was assessed with an anamnesis. The admission of the objective health parameters was carried out by the determination of the anthropometrics values by means of BIA balance, as well as by the determination of the strength impact from belly and back muscles using Total Trunk. The subjective health parameters were seized over a sensibility to pain scale and a questionnaire to the general habitual well-being. On this basis the obtained results, regarding the anthropometric values and the sensibility to pain, there could not be determined significant changes, but emphasized positive tendencies. Significant changes showed up with some parameters of the general habitual wellbeing (Well-Being-Score, psychological miss-being), as well as with the strength impact, which took the main meaning regarding the training program. Therefore it can be said that a 5-week strength-perseverance-oriented back training, improve on the one hand to the physical health, accompanies in view to the strength perseverance ability of belly and back muscules and on the other hand the psychological health, by a significant decrease of the psychological miss-being.

It is suggested that approximately 40\% of chronic low back pain (CLBP) is disc related in form of internal disc disruptions. Dehydration of the disc leads to stress concentrations in the disc itself and apophyseal joints. Upright-MRI is likely to become the 'gold-standard'-measurement for determination of IVD heights, its practical usability will remain limited because of its high cost and its low availability. The aim of this study is to investigate the accuracy and reliability of the measurement of the height of the spine with the 3D-Bodyscanner. Therefore, the reliability of different measurement settings (S) had to be investigated. S1: At first it was investigated, if the length of the spine can be measured reliable with the 3D-Bodyscanner when the same person is measured twice without moving between the measurements. The reliability and the first tester influenced bias is estimated. S2: The same person was measured after the person moved from the chair in between both measurements. S3: The participants were measured twice and the markers were renewed between both measurements. Furthermore, the standard error of measurement (SEm) was estimated to compare the accuracy of this measurement with expectable changes in spinal height in daily live and different research tasks . 14 healthy men and 14 healthy women participated in this study. The following pearson correlation coefficients (r) and SEms resulted from the different measurement settings: S1: The measurement of the spinal length in humans that did not move in between the two measurements correlated with r=0.99. This resulted in a SEm of 3.5mm. S2: The measurement of the spinal length in humans that moved in between the measurements but kept the same markers on their spine correlated with r=0.98. This resulted in a SEm of 4.1mm. S3: The measurement of the spinal length in humans that moved in between the measurements and got new markers applied on their spine correlated with r=0.95. This resulted in a SEm of 7.1mm. The measurement of the spinal height with the VITRONIC 3D-Bodyscanner appears to be highly reliable, especially if the markers do not have to be renewed for the retest (S1 and S2). The accuracy of this measurement method seems to be high enough to measure the exercise- or traction induced height changes in the spine. In the case of measuring the height change that is induced by 10 minutes of different types of positioning, the change is maybe to small to be detected. Even if the markers have to be renewed, the accuracy is still discussable to measure diurnal height changes. In conclusion, the 3D-Bodayscanner appears to be a more cost-effective alternative for the measurement of specific segments of the spine than MRI and a practicable alternative for science in the field of de- and rehydration.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KirschnerVorwergMicheletal., author = {Kirschner, Jana and Vorwerg, Susan and Michel, Sven and Braun, Alexander and Martin, Titus and Prill, Robert}, title = {Effect of a manual-therapeutic segmental mobilization on the mobility of the thoracic spine}, series = {The International Disabled People's Day - XXIII edition - Life without Pain/Healthy Children - Healthy Europe}, booktitle = {The International Disabled People's Day - XXIII edition - Life without Pain/Healthy Children - Healthy Europe}, publisher = {Oficyna Wydawnicza Klubu Literackiego "Inspiracje"}, address = {Zgorcelec}, isbn = {978-83-88380-75-4}, pages = {S. 123}, abstract = {An important aim of the manual therapy is to improve the joint mobility and the functionality to reduce pains in the area of treatment.

Also the standard value comparison of lifting did not produce a significant association to the group and less than half of all study participants reached the norm. Despite differences in the health status of the two groups, due to the approximate force values of lifting, a decreasing importance of this ability to participation in the future labor market can be noted.
