Abstract

Background: Physiological adaptations, especially in sports exercise, usually occur through stress on the body. The changes that occur in the functions of the body's systems are what cause development in the responses of its organs and muscles, which leads to improved athletic performance. Adaptations in response to training include: decreased the heart rate, increased the stroke volume, increased the oxygen uptake, increased the blood hemoglobin levels, and the muscle hypertrophy. Objective of the study: To evaluate the rates of the left ventricular enlargement after years of aerobic training. The research sample: includes (24) athletes and all them practice aerobic activities at the present time, as follows: Six they have (1-2) years of training. Six they have (2-4) years of training. Six they have (4-6) years of training. Six they have (6-8) years of training. The left ventricular mass was examined and diagnosed using the Echocardiogram. Data analyses: The data was analyzed using the SPSS program V. 26. Conclusions: 1-Left ventricular hypertrophy increases with the increase in the years of the aerobic training. 2-During the four years of training, left ventricular enlargement remains within the normal range. 3-after four years, Left ventricular hypertrophy begins to rise above the normal range. 3- The left ventricular hypertrophy in an aerobic athlete is not considered a pathological condition. Highlights: Adaptation: Aerobic training increases left ventricular hypertrophy over time. Timeline: Enlargement stays normal for 4 years, increases beyond normal after. Conclusion: Hypertrophy in athletes is non-pathological and a physiological adaptation. Keywords: Physiological Adaptation; Ventricular Enlargement, Athletic Heart Syndrome.

Abstract

Low back pain (LBP) is a widespread condition negatively impacting quality of life and productivity. Nurses play a vital role in managing LBP, especially through the application of physiotherapy techniques. This study aimed to assess nurses' perception levels regarding LBP and physiotherapy exercises. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in Basra hospitals between May and August 2024, involving 80 nurses. Data were collected using a 24-items structured questionnaire covering general perception and exercise therapy, rated on a 3-point Likert scale. Perception levels were categorized as poor, medium, or good. The majority of participants (62.5%) were female. Overall, 58% demonstrated medium perception, followed by 37% with good perception and 5% with poor perception. In part-specific analysis, 83% scored well in general perception, while 72% passed the exercise therapy section. The mean scores were 14.82 ± 3.62 and 13.70 ± 4.33, respectively. No significant associations were found between demographic variables and perception levels. The findings indicate a need for targeted educational programs to enhance nurses’ competence in physiotherapy-based LBP management. Highlights: More than half of the nurses (58%) demonstrated a medium perception level regarding lower back pain and physiotherapy management. Higher understanding was observed in general knowledge (83% passed) than in exercise therapy (72% passed). The study emphasizes the need for targeted educational programs to improve nurses’ competence in physiotherapy-based pain management.
