WPLYW CWICZEN ROZCIAGAJACYCH NA WARTOSCI UZYSKIWANE W 6-MINUTOWYM TESCIE MARSZOWYM WSRÓD OSÓB ZDROWYCH THE EFFECT OF STRETCHING EXERCISES ON THE RESULTS OBTAINED IN THE 6-MINUTE WALK TEST AMONG HEALTHY INDIVIDUALS Janusz Kocjan Studium Doktoranckie Wydzialu Lekarskiego w Katowicach, Slaski Uniwersytet Medyczny w KatowicachDoctoral Studium of School of Medicine, Medical University of Silesia, Katowice, Poland STRESZCZENIE Celem pracy byla ocena wplywu cwiczen rozciagajacych na rezultaty uzyskiwane w 6-minutowym tescie marszowym (6MWT) wsród osób zdrowych. Badaniem objeto 40 pracowników biurowych u których nie wystepowaly zadne schorzenia przewlekle, których losowo przydzielono do jednej z dwóch grup: badanej (wykonujacej cwiczenia rozciagajace przez okres 2 miesiecy) oraz kontrolnej (nie wykonujacej cwiczen rozciagajacych, lecz kontynuujacych dotychczasowa aktywnosc). Srednie wartosci uzyskane podczas wyjsciowego 6MWT wyniosly odpowiednio: grupa badana: 584,61 ± 75,84 metrów, vs grupa kontrolna: 601,22 ± 80,95 metrów. W grupie badanej nie zaobserwowano istotnych statystycznie róznic pod wplywem wykonywanych przez okres 2 miesiecy cwiczen rozciagajacych na wartosci odnotowane w 6MWT, jak równiez parametry krazeniowo-oddechowe. Brak zaleznosci dotyczyl równiez grupy kontrolnej. SUMMARY The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of stretching exercises on the results achieved in the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) among healthy individuals. The study included 40 office workers without chronic diseases, who were randomly assigned to one of two study groups (performing stretching exercises for 2 months) and a control (not performing stretching exercises, but continuing the daily phydical activity). The mean values obtained during the initial 6MWT were, respectively: the study group: 584.61 ± 75.84 meters, vs the control group: 601.22 ± 80.95 meters. In the study group, there was no statistically significant difference after two months period of stretching exercises to the value recorded in the 6MWT, as well as cardio-respiratory parameters. No relationship was also noted in the control group. Slowa kluczowe: test 6-minutowy, 6-MWT, cwiczenia rozciagajace.Key words: 6-minute walk test, 6-MWT, stretching exercises.
