Purpose: The aim of the research was to reflect the location of Biologically Active Points (BAP) in microsystem of feet and hands reflex zone. Methods: We analised the database, including the Cochrane Library, Medline, PubMed, etc. on microsystems of hands and feet. The results of the Chinese Reflexology points locations of feet and hands microsystems are shown in the tables. Results: In the hands microsystem there are 46 points, and in the feet microsystem we located 70 points from the 12 meridians. In the feet and hands microsystem there are 22 independent points, 8 of which are located in the feet reflex zone, and 14 in the hands reflex zone. Conclusions: In the reflex zone of the ,,own organs” there are three BAP points − KI1 kidneys meridian points are situated on the sole side of the right and the left foot and the heart meridian point HT8 which is located on the left palm side. It turned out that the majority of Chinese points located within the reflex zone of feet and hands, are located outside the reflex zones of their organs.
Aim: The aim of the study is an attempt to answer the question whether a long-term karate practice exerts influence on the incidence of injuries and what its type and underlying cause. Methods: The research was carried out in July 2013 in Cracow during a karate training camp. 125 people from Poland participated in the study. The participation in research was voluntary and people were informed about its aim and application. The average age was 37,6 ± 11,3 years. The youngest participant was 15 and the oldest 57. Median age was 39 which means that half of participants was not older than 39 and the other half was at least 39. Questionnaire techniques were used in the study. The research tool used to implement the selected technique was survey questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of 23 open- and close-ended questions. Results: As results from own research, the greatest number of competitors (38) have suffered from contusion (47,1% of all injury types). This injury types constitutes almost half of all injuries. Among all injury types karate contestants suffered from last year, the most common were contusions (25,6% of all injuries). Conclusions: Karate training is not related to any serious injuries apart from contusions which at the same time are most common injury in this type of training. Contestants’ and training experience are not directly related to injury incidence. An appropriately organized, rational training and using prevention enables to avoid injuries. Circumstances of injury incidence change with contestants’ age and training experience.
