PHYSIOLOGICAL STRATEGIES FOR EARLY INTERVENTION IN PROSTATE BLOOD FLOW DISORDERS

Abstract

Aim. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of progressively increasing physical activity on body mass index, bioimpedance parameters, regional prostate blood flow, and testosterone levels in overweight men. Materials and methods. The study involved 138 men aged 20–35 years classified as Group I health status. The comprehensive assessment comprised medical history collection, anthropometric measurements with BMI calculation; bioimpedance analysis (Inbody 770, Korea); habitual physical activity evaluation via 24-hour pedometry (Omron Walking style III HJ-203, China); transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) with prostate regional blood flow assessment (LOGIQS8, General Electric Co., USA); serum testosterone assays (Mindray BS-200, China). Statistical analysis was performed using Statistica 26.0 and Microsoft Office Excel. Results. Participants were randomized into three groups: Group I (control, no intervention), Groups II and III (individualized health interventions). Baseline constitutional-typological characteristics included physical activity levels, anthropometric parameters, body composition, resistive index, and serum testosterone. Follow-up evaluations at 3 months revealed: Group I – the same physical activity levels, increased BMI (+2.59%), elevated prostate echogenicity, and sustained low testosterone levels with a declining trend; Group II – increased physical activity levels (+29.5%), reduced BMI and fat mass (muscle mass preserved), increased testosterone, and improved regional blood flow; Group III demonstrated similar trends with more pronounced blood flow enhancement. Conclusion. Progressive physical activity elevation and weight reduction demonstrate beneficial effects on prostate blood flow and testosterone levels.
