RESUMO
Objective To investigate the intervention effect of systemic nutrition combined with rhythmic exercise on diabetes and cardiovascular complication risk. Methods Sixty subjects with diabetes history (≥3 years) were selected to receive the combined intervention of systemic nutrition and rhythmic exercise every day for 60 days. Before and after the intervention, the bioelectric body scanning, arteriosclerosis detection, diabetes risk assessment and other techniques were used to examine the 60 participants. Results The blood glucose and blood lipid levels, the activity value of relevant organs, and cardiovascular complications risk related indicators of most subjects after intervention were significantly improved compare with those before intervention. Conclusion The combination of systemic nutrition and rhythmic exercise demonstrates significant effects on improving glucose metabolic level and reducing cardiovascular complication risks in people with abnormal glucose metabolism.
RESUMO
@#Objective To introduce a set of rehabilitation approach called Conductive Education-Rehabilitation Rhythmic Exercise andits application. Methods Control group and rehabilitation group were set up with 75 cerebral palsy children in each. And it was used once aweek for 3 months. Results The scores and effective rate of movement, speech communication, perception and cognitive in the rehabilitationgroup were higher than the control group (P<0.01). Conclusion Conductive Education-Rehabilitation Rhythmic Exercise was effectiveto cerebral palsy.

RESUMO
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of rhythmic exercise program on perceived health status, depression, life satisfaction and physical strength in elderly. METHOD: A convenience sample of 20 elderly, participated in the study from a community health center located in an urban city, South Korea. SPSS/WIN 17.0 was used for descriptive analysis, paired t-test and Pearson correlation. RESULTS: After 8 weeks exercise program, perceived health status (t=0.48, p<.001), depression (t=-0.93, p=.001), life satisfaction (t=1.01, p=.002 and physical strength (t=1.70, 0.70, 0.72, all p<.001) in elderly were significantly improved. Three were significant correlations between depression and perceived health status (r=-.63, p=.004) and life satisfaction (r=-.70, p=.001). CONCLUSION: Further are warranted to validate the effects of a rhythmic exercise program for the elderly in a larger sample.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of music therapy and rhythmic exercise on health related quality of life, blood pressure and upper extremity muscle strength in the institution-dwelling elderly women. METHODS: The study was designed using a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design. The participants consisted of 35 elders (18 in the experimental group and 17 in the control group). The music therapy and rhythmic exercise were developed by the investigators. The experimental group took part in this program twice a week for 8 weeks. The Short Form 36 health survey questionnaire, blood pressure and grasp power scale were used as instruments. The data were analyzed using SPSS 14.0. RESULTS: Repeated measures ANOVA revealed that music therapy and rhythmic exercise had positive effects on quality of life, especially on vitality, general health and mental health. Also, there were statistically significant differences in diastolic blood pressure and upper extremity muscle strength between the pretest and posttest in the experimental group. CONCLUSION: The study suggests that this program can be applied for older women in long-term facilities to improve quality of life, blood pressure and upper extremity muscle strength.
