简要总结
Aerobic exercises can produce immediate and short-term improvements in the immune response of leukocytes, T-lymphocytes, lymphocyte subpopulations, interleukins, and immunoglobulins. Even only a single session of aerobic exercises produces improvements in the utmost immune markers, such as T-lymphocytes, leukocytes, and immunoglobulins.
Also, burned patients suffer from post-traumatic stress and stress can cause this alteration through its effect on increasing the amounts of serum corticosteroid and catecholamine hormones, thus a decrease in the immunity response might occur. Increasing the aerobic capacity can significantly improve the mood. This might be attributed to the effect of aerobic exercises on decreasing stress hormones, like corticosteroids and catecholamines hormones.
The altered metabolism post major burn also affects the immune system in burn patients and the aerobic training enhances the metabolism, body composition and the lean mass and so, enhances the immune system.
One of the most important factors for a good and effective immune system is the balanced diet especially diet rich in vitamin D, fibers, and multiple nuts and seeds such as almond, walnut, pistachio, sunflower seeds, flax seeds and sesame seed that have an crucial role in improving the immune system either acting on it directly or indirectly by enhancing the general heath of the body and the patients mood.
详细描述
Group A (Aerobic training and diet protocol group): patients will be engaged in aerobic training using treadmill three times per week, for 12 weeks. The exercise intensity will be 50-70% of each patient's maximum heart rate. Each exercise session will consist of three phases; five-minutes warming up phase in form of stretching exercises and walking on the treadmill at the slowest speed, 20-minutes conditioning phase in form of walking on the treadmill at 50% of participants' maximum heart rate in the first two weeks then progressed gradually to reach the 70% of maximum heart rate by the 12th weeks", and five-minutes cool down phase that will be constant as warming up phase. During the training, the patient's blood pressure, heart rate, and breathing pattern will be frequently monitored . Also, the will be asked to follow a diet protocol designed by the nutrition specialist that rich in in vitamin D, fibers, and multiple nuts and seeds such as almond, walnut, pistachio, sunflower seeds, flax seeds and sesame seed to improve immune system for 12 weeks.
Group B (Aerobic training group): Patients will practice the aerobic training only like that of group A for 30 minutes, three sessions per week for 12 weeks.
Group C (Diet protocol group): Patients will only follow the same diet protocol that will be prescribed to group A for 12 weeks All patients in all groups will receive the same medical and traditional physical therapy in form of proper positioning and splinting and stretching, RoM, graduated strengthening exercises.
