Abstract
Our study comes from the desire to highlight certain problems faced by adulthood, as well as the awareness of practicing physical exercise in water and on land, in order to combat them. Hypothesis of the work; it is assumed that through a thorough study in terms of body composition and mental status of patients of adult age, we will identify some problems that arise during this period of life and at the same time we will be able to develop truthful programs by applying physical means. The purpose of our work consists in highlighting the main problems of normoponderality and mental status on the patients subjected to the study by applying various tests that will highlight these aspects. Objectives of the study: Identification of body composition and mental status of adult patients; Patients' awareness of the normoponderality and mental problems arising from the applied tests; Promoting physical activities on land and in water, in adulthood. The result of questioning the subjects subjected to the study on the evaluation of the mental status revealed the fact that they have a temporal, spatial orientation, an adequate memory and attention, as well as a reading-writing and copying capacity corresponding to the age, and the determination of the body composition was achieved with the help of the "Tanita" device through which it was found an average of the group of subjects of 43.13% fat, 25,80 % muscle mass, 6,83 % bone mass, and water 42,22 %.

Abstract
Abstract: Introduction. In the last decade, we are witnessing a transformation in the dynamics of the development of human morpho-functional structures, influenced by the socio-economic system. Among the harmful factors of contemporary civilization we list the lack of physical exercise as well as the inadequate diet. We start from the premise that by practicing constant physical activities we can demonstrate the influence of the morphological status of the adults under study. The aim of this work is to analyse some body composition parameters of adults who are moderately physically active. Results. The objectives of the study are: to identify how subjects practice physical activity, to raise awareness of the importance of the effects of physical exercise on health, to analyse and interpret the data recorded on body composition parameters using the Tanita apparatus. Conclusions: The practice of constant activities on adults leads to beneficial morpho-functional changes in the body, giving it a capacity to adapt to effort and increased resistance to pathogenic factors.
Keywords: adult, physical activities, morphological status, body composition structure, health.

Abstract
Abstract: Worldwide neurological disorders that particularly affect the central nervous system are a major health challenge, leading to deficits accompanied by neuromorphic sequelae with implications for the functional state of the body. Background: Current studies show that hemorrhagic stroke occurs mainly at a young age, often fatal as opposed to ischemic stroke that characterizes old age or an alert lifestyle, both types of strokes can result in motor sequelae and functional (mild, moderate or severe hemiparesis or haemiplegia). The peculiarity of the studied case is the coexistence of multiple comorbidities which require an interdisciplinary team to solve (neurologist, cardiologist, endocrinologist, physiotherapist, psychotherapist, aquatic therapy instructor). The aim of our paper is to demonstrate the efficiency of exercise in the aquatic environment, facilitating the recovery of the functions of the neuro-myo-arthro-kinetic apparatus as well as the cardiovascular and metabolic functions. Results: The main objective is general and muscular relaxation, re-education of external and proprioceptive sensitivity, orthostatic posture and gait reeducation, in conditions of stability and balance. Conclusions: Through the means of aquatic therapy, an attempt is made to obtain the independence of self-care in order to interrelate with the environment, to regain the ADLs, , the family and socio-professional reintegration of the patient.

Study on the impact of the therapeutic swimming on elderly women diagnosed with osteoporosis. BALNEO AND PRM RESEARCH JOURNAL 2022.

Abstract
Introduction The adult woman has a complex of endocrine metabolic changes that can influence and cause various disorders in the body regarding the decrease of functional and regulatory ca-pacities. The involuntary changes in a woman's aging highlight both the appearance and the functionality. In this sense, we intend to conduct a study on morphological changes, parameters that represent risk factors in the development of osteoporosis. Studies by Kanis (1) and Munshi (2) show that maintaining adequate bone mass as well as ensuring adequate muscle tone can prevent osteoporosis, and a pronounced incidence of the onset and development of chronic de-generative pathologies can promote fractures. Material and method. In connection with the elu-cidation of this aspect, we will use the Frax estimation method, which is based on the introduc-tion of values obtained from medical evaluations. Regarding the study, we propose to the sub-jects a therapeutic swimming program to avoid the occurrence of osteoporotic fractures. Results and discussions. Regarding the field of factors favoring the estimation of a fracture in the items regarding cortisone treatments, alcohol consumption, digestive problems, minor traumas, the investigated subjects answered with No 100%.In order to obtain objective results, the study will continue for a period of 1 year, the intermediate tests will be performed after 4 months from the beginning of the work program and at the same time the program will undergo changes, de-pending on the results obtained from the evaluations. Conclusions. The implementation of this water exercise program will lead to adaptive changes in the direction of limiting the unevolu-tionary processes of senescence.
