The aim of the research was to identify the effect of 4vs.4 small-sided games (SSGs) with goalkeepers (4vs.4+GK), applied twice a week, for 8 weeks, on U18 football players’ physical ability, compared to that of the athletes who performed specific aerobic endurance training. The research included 40 football players U18, divided into two groups: 20 in the experiment group (EG) aged 17.49 ± 0.61 years and 20 in the control group (CG) aged 17.66 ± 0.54 years. From the initial test (IT) to final tests (FT) performed on the parameters, maximum oxygen consumption (VO_2max) and 10 m and 20 m sprint and agility with and without a ball showed a significant increase for both groups. The first and last SSG training was monitored, using total distance (TD), high-intensity distance (HSR—high-speed running) and maximum intensity distance (VHSR—very-high-speed running). Comparative analyses of EG and CG parameters at the FT shows that the differences between the means of two groups are statistically significant in favor of the experimental group in terms of all parameters, except 10 m sprint (p < 0.05). Referring to SSGs, the experimental group had a 7.78% increase rate in TD (p < 0.0005), a 30.90% (p < 0.0005) increase rate with HSR and no significant differences (p > 0.05) with VHSR. The experimental training program of 4vs.4+GK SSGs, applied to U18 football players, produced significant progress in the physical, and functional parameters.

Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease (CMT) is one of the hereditary motor and sensory neuropathies, a group of varied inherited disorders of the peripheral nervous system characterized by progressive loss of muscle tissue and touch sensation across various parts of the body. Currently incurable, this disease is the most commonly inherited neurological disorder, and affects about one in 2,500 people. A CMT diagnosis involves clinical evaluation of muscle function and atrophy, testing of sensory responses, and electromyography and nerve conduction studies. Often, the most important goal for patients with CMT is to maintain movement, muscle strength, and flexibility. Therefore, an interprofessional team approach with occupational therapy, physical therapy, orthotics, podiatrist, and orthopedic surgeon is recommended. Physical therapy should be involved in designing an exercise program that fits a person’s personal strengths and flexibility, but also in a god evaluation podoscopic assessment. Due to the lack of good sensory reception in the feet, CMT patients need to see a physical therapist in order to stabilize their feet or correct progressive problems by rebalancing the biomechanics of the foot. The procedure involves a computerized assessment, the realization of the plant footprint in the foam and the creation of plantatory therapeutics on the mold. These plantar orthoses help

Osteoporosis is a disease that affects over 40 percent of women over the age of 50. The diabetes-osteoporosis relationship is complex and still incompletely elucidated, despite numerous studies conducted in recent decades⁽¹⁾. The influence of diabetes on bone tissue differs, however, between the forms of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the main aspects of the physical therapy in the prophylaxis and treatment of diabetic osteoporosis in females, in the context of proper guidance and an appropriate exercise program. After 35 years of age, the bone continuously loses its substance, a normal and natural phenomenon with the aging. However, this loss can become a serious problem if the initial "bone reserve" was too low or if the bone loss is done too quickly, and especially after the menopause. The result is an increased risk of fracture, either by a normal fall, like in the wrist or hip, or by a moderate lifting effort, as in the case of the vertebrae. Insufficient physical activity, sedentarism, obesity or low body weight, metabolic disorders with absorption deficits lead to demineralization and bone marrow scarring. So, an appropriate exercise program under the auspices of: resistance, posture, balance, are targets that can activate osteoblast in the process of deposition and collagen construction in the bone matrix. A good exercise program in the prophylaxis and treatment of osteoporosis consists of exercise, posture and balance exercises designed for both upper and lower limbs, but also for abdominal and pelvic belts.

Hip replacement is a surgical procedure in which the hip joint is replaced by a prosthetic implant, that is, a hip prosthesis. A total hip replacement (total hip arthroplasty or THA) consists of replacing both the acetabulum and the femoral head while hemiarthroplasty generally only replaces the femoral head. Hip replacement is currently one of the most common orthopaedical operations, though patient satisfaction short- and long-term varies widely. In this paper we present the case of a 75-year-old woman, with classic uncemented hip prosthesis intervention, from the preoperative preparation stage to 1 year after the intervention and the recovery phases and their evolution. Due to a quality management of the intervention and good hygiene and nutrition, the lack of osteoporosis and the absence of paleopathology, the patient recovered in a fast and correct manner, returning to a good functionality and state of health. Also, the cooperation between the patient, family, therapist, doctor and psychologist had a decisive role in the success of both the intervention and the postoperative period with optimal results for the age and possibilities of the patient.
