The purpose of the study was to compare the somatic build of football and basketball players aged 14, 15 and 16 years with non-training boys of the same age. The study involved 301 boys, who were divided into three study groups: football players, basketball players and non-training boys. The level of the boys’ somatic development was established on the basis of body weight and height measurements, which were the basis for determining the BMI and Rohrer’s index. In addition, the functional lengths of the right and the left lower extremity were studied. The majority of training and non-training boys were characterised by the leptosomatic body type. Basketball players across study groups were statistically significantly taller and heavier in comparison to non-training boys. Only the body weight between16-year-old basketball players and non-training boys was statistically insignificantly different. Only 14-year-old footballers were statistically significantly taller and had longer lower limbs as compared with their non-training peers. In view of the sporadic lack of differences between football players and non-training boys, the analysed biometric features of the body build, i.e. body weight and height, should not be treated as the only criterion for selection to play football, while in the case of basketball players a possibility of using these data should be taken into consideration, with additional focus on the length of lower limbs.

Aim: The objective of the study was the assessment of somatic build and physical fitness of 14-16-year-old football players as compared with non-training peers as well as relation between their body-build and physical fitness. Basic procedures: 108 football players and 101 non-training boys participated in the research. The level of somatic development of boys was assessed on the basis of body height and weight measurements, which were used to determine BMI and Rohrer index. Additionally functional length of left and right lower limbs was determined. The level of physical fitness was tested by EUROFIT. The strength and relation between body built features and physical fitness were measured by the Pearson correlation coefficient r linear, and by the test t to define its significance. Results: Football players and non-training boys characterized leptosomatic build type. Only 14-year-old footballers were higher in terms of statistical significance and had longer lower limbs in comparison with non-training peers. In physical fitness tests football players had better scores than non-training ones, and the differences of statistical significance most frequently occurring in 14-year-olds were demonstrated. Conclusion. The assessed motor abilities forming physical fitness of football players and non-training peers indicated clear correlations with body built only in 14-year-old boys. Rare occurrence of smaller correlations in 15-16-year-old football players can suggest that football training created a certain structure of physical fitness, different from that of non-training peers, but in most cases it was not related to the body structure.

Background: Creatine and Creatinine plays a role in muscle function. Urinary creatine and urinary creatinine concentration was measured in order to see significance in monitoring athlete and athlete’s performance. Objective: Evaluate association of dietary protein intake, Lean Body Mass (LBM) percentage, Body Mass Index (BMI) and physical activity on urinary creatine, urinary creatinine concentration in different team sports [cricket players (C), basketball players (B) and football players (F)]. Methodology: A total of 62 players from different team sports - C (n-20), B (n-17) and F (n-25) age of 18-30 years participated. Post training urine samples was analyzed. Using Jaffe's reaction, urinary creatinine was obtained and Urinary creatine is obtained by difference in the creatinine present before and after heating with acid solution. 24 hour dietary recall was taken to find athletes protein intake. LBM were taken using Body Impedence Analysis (BIA machine). Data were analysed using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences Version 16.0). Findings: Pearson bivariate correlation (2-tailed) was used to find the relationship between BMI, LBM, total dietary protein intake per day, dietary protein, duration of practice with urine creatinine and creatine level. Positive correlation between urinary creatine and total dietary protein intake per day, dietary protein according to body weight per day was found (p<0.001), (p<0.005) respectively. Negative correlation between urinary creatinine and dietary protein according to body weight per day and duration of practice per day was found (p<0.001), (p<0.005) respectively. Urinary creatine mean (SD) values- C group 78.63 ± 27.17, B group 102.65 ± 38 and F group 169.60±41.58. Urinary creatinine mean (SD) values- C group 46.60 ± 37.23,B group 84.88 ± 48.27 and F group 70.40±44.083. Conclusion & Significance: Significant increase was seen in urinary creatine excretion with respect to dietary protein per day, dietary protein according to body weight per day. Urinary creatine excretion is more in football players followed by basketball players. Significant decline was seen in urinary creatinine excretion with respect to increase dietary protein according to body weight per day and increase duration of practice.

The study purpose was to determine the effectiveness of a differentiated approach to aqua fitness classes with women of the first period of adulthood. Materials and methods. 30 adult women, whose average age was 30.57 years, took part in the study. The study was conducted during 2019-2020. Anthropometric measurements included body length, body weight, chest, shoulder, calf, thigh, waist, buttocks and wrist circumferences. To determine the overweight we calculated the body mass index. Measurements were taken at the end of each mesocycle of wellness training. Statistical analysis covered determination of mean, standard deviation, reliability of the differences (Wilcoxon signed-rank test). Results. The effectiveness of a differentiated approach to aqua fitness classes was proven by improvement of women’s body type. By the end of the study, there were no women with obesity class II and underweight. The number of women with obesity class I decreased by 3.33%. The number of women with normal body weight increased by 13.37%. Conclusions. The implementation of a differentiated approach to aqua fitness classes with adult women has significantly corrected their body proportions. This allows recommending a differentiated approach according to a body type to implement into aqua fitness classes.

The Relationship

Parameters associated with the performance of countermovement jumps were identified from vertical ground reaction force recordings during fatigue and resting conditions. Fourteen variables were defined, dividing the vertical ground reaction force into negative and positive external working times and times in which the vertical ground reaction force values were lower and higher than the participant's body weight. We attempted to explain parameter variations by considering the relationship between the set of contractile and elastic components of the lower limbs. We determined that jumping performance is based on impulsion optimization and not on instantaneous ground reaction force value: the time in which the ground reaction force was lower than the body weight, and negative external work time was lower under fatigue. The results suggest that, during fatigue, there is less contribution from elastic energy and from overall active state. However, the participation of contractile elements could partially compensate for the worsening of jumping performance.

Abstract Objectives: The focus of this study is on anthropometric characteristics of footballers in the Republic of Macedonia, and the aim is to provide normative data for selected anthropometric parameters for adult male footballers in our country. Material and method: The study included eight hundred (800) adult male footballers, aged 24.06 ± 4.8y (age range 18–35y), who have undertaken routine sport medical examinations over a ten-year period. The football players were divided into six age – specific subgroups (“up to 20”; “up to 22”; “up to 24”; “up to 26”; “up to 28” and “over 28” years). Anthropometric measurements were made by Matiegka's protocols and body composition components were determined. Results: Average values of body height (178.8 ± 6.7 cm), body weight (77.72 ± 7.9 kg), lean body mass (66.21 ± 6.36 kg), body components (MM% = 53.04; BM% = 17.15; FM% = 14.7%) and a large series of anthropometric measurements which define the footballers' anthropometric dimensions were obtained. The distribution of the adipose tissue regarding the body and limbs showed that the skinfolds were thickest on the lower limbs and thinnest on the arms. Conclusions: The adult football players in Republic of Macedonia were insignificantly variable in height and body mass from their counter parts from European and American teams. The football players up to 20 year, who played in the senior national football league were lighter and smaller than their older colleagues. The football players aged from 20 to 35 years were insignificantly variable in height, body mass, and anthropometric dimensions of limbs and trunk.

Fluid Losses

Introduction: Dehydration develops when the body fluid losses exceed fluid intake. It may occur during exercise, heat stress, restricted fluid intake, or any combination of these. Marginal dehydration (loss of > 2% body weight) can compromise aerobic exercise performance, particularly in hot weather conditions, and may disturb fluid and electrolyte balance. The aim of the study was to determine the quantity, type and dynamic of fluid intake during athletic performance in endurance sports (football and basketball) in two age categories: juniors (under the age of 18) and seniors (over the age of 18).Methods: Research included 100 athletes playing in Premier League in Bosnia-Herzegovina. We formed groups by sport type (football and basketball) and age (<18 and ≥18 years). Questionnaire with questions about the fluid intake habits was used for data collection.    Results: There were 53 football players and 47 basketball players. All the participants were male. Average age of the participants was 19.3 ± 4.58. Habit of weighing before and after training was present in less than 44% of players among all the groups. Seniors were more frequently measuring their weight compared to junior players (p=0.01). Basketball players and players younger than 18 years were most frequently taking more than 2L of water per day. Most of the players, regardless of sport type or age group were not taking at least ½ L of isotonic fluid before the training. Signs of dehydration were more frequently observed in players under 18 years old, with most frequent sign being dry throat and sudden fatigue.Conclusion: Water and electrolytes intake before, during and after training of the athletes were inadequate regardless of type of sports and the age of athletes.

The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of nanotechnology and sodium metasilicate on the content of total calcium and inorganic phosphorus and individual lipids in the blood of rabbits from 52 to 110 days of life. Studies were conducted on young rabbits of Hyla breed in the private sector. Rabbits for the study were selected at the age of 41 days on the principle of analogues, weighing 1.2–1.4 kg, were divided into six groups (control and five experimental), 6 animals (3 males and 3 females) in each. Animals were kept in with adjustable microclimate and illumination in mesh cages measuring 50×120×30 cm, in accordance with modern animal health standards. The control group rabbits were fed without restriction a balanced granular compound feed, with free access to water. Animals I, II, and III of the study groups were fed a control group diet and fed citrate silicon for 24 hours, with a corresponding rate of 25; 50 and 75 µg Si/kg body weight. Young animals of the IV and V experimental groups were fed wit diet of the control group and water was given sodium metasilicate (Na2SiO3H2O) in the amount of 2.5 and 5.0 mg Si/kg body weight, respectively. The experiment lasted 68 days, including the preparatory period of 10 days, the experimental period – 58 days. In the preparatory period – at 52 days and experimental at 83 and 110 days of life (31 and 58 days of drinking additives) in 4 animals (2 males and 2 females) from the group blood samples were taken for biochemical studies. Studies have found that the concentration of total calcium in the blood plasma of rabbits III and IV study groups was higher by 9.6 and 6.4% (P < 0.05) for 58 days of the study compared with the control, indicating the stimulating effect of the organic compound silicon to activate the processes of assimilation of this macronutrient in the body of young rabbits. Silicone citrate in the large test quantities and sodium metasilicate in the blood plasma of animals of III, IV and V experimental groups respectively increased the level of inorganic phosphorus by 35.7; 28.5 and 35.7% (P < 0.05) than controls at day 58 of the study. In the final study period, the ratio of Calcium to Phosphorus in the animals of the II – V experimental groups was in the range of 2.0–1.73: 1, indicating a more pronounced effect of silicon compounds on the metabolism of Phosphorus during a longer period of supplementation. The content of triacylglycerols in the blood plasma of rabbits II and III of the experimental groups was lower (P < 0.05) at 31 and 58 days of the study compared with the control. The results obtained may indicate the activation of the processes of metabolic accumulation of plastic components of cell membranes and energy needs of body tissues. The use of silica organic compound reduced the cholesterol content by 37% (P < 0.05) in the blood of rabbits of the III experimental group at 31 days of the study. Whereas at the final stage of the experiment in animals II; In the 3rd and 4th research groups, its level was lower by 43.4; 36.9 and 42.2% (P < 0.05) compared to the control, indicating greater use of cholesterol by the organism with silica organic compound.

Ultrasound Parameters

We studied the effect of birth weight on ultrasound parameters of the uterus and ovaries in adolescent girls with gynecological pathology. 65 adolescent girls aged from 10 to 18 years old, who were treated at the surgical department № 4 of the Regional Child Clinical Department, were examined. Study groups were formed according to data relating to gestational weight in terms of low or overweight. The differences in ultrasound scanning of the pelvic organs between the studied groups were revealed. So, with the syndrome of intrauterine growth retardation of the fetus, a lag in ultrasound indicators develops in the postnatal period, and with macrosomia, on the contrary, a tendency to an increase in the size of the uterus and ovaries is revealed. The revealed changes can serve as prognostic criteria in diagnosing the risk of developing disorders of puberty during ultrasound scanning of the internal genital organs of adolescent girls, depending on the body weight at birth.

Fat Mobilization

SUMMARYFood utilization in relation to growth of body components, and fat mobilization and its hormonal control in vivo, were examined in 15 Hereford and 15 Friesian steers which were slaughtered at 20 months of age. Changes in body composition between 6 and 20 months were calculated from the body composition of these animals and from an additional four and two steers from each breed slaughtered at 6 and 13 months of age, respectively.The Friesians consumed more food overall (14%) and grew more rapidly (14%), but their intake in relation to metabolic body weight was not different from that of the Herefords. Although the Friesians deposited more protein in relation to lipid there was no breed difference in food conversion ratio, and maintenance requirement relative to empty-body weight0·75 was estimated to be 7% greater in the Friesians than the Herefords. Friesians therefore had a lower efficiency of conversion of food energy to body energy. It is speculated that the higher maintenance requirement of the Friesians was due to a faster rate of protein deposition and a higher proportion of visceral organs with an associated higher rate of protein turnover.Changes in plasma concentrations of free fatty acids (FFA), insulin, growth hormone (GH), adrenaline and noradrenaline were examined in response to fasting at 12 and 20 months of age. Inaddition plasma concentrations of glucose, thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) were measured at 20 months of age.At both ages, FFA concentration increased almost linearly with duration of fasting and was not different between breeds. It was therefore unrelated to fat partitioning and a poor index of breed differences in metabolic and body type. Within breeds, the rate at which FFA concentration increased during fasting was correlated with estimated maintenance requirement (r = 0·53). This suggests a different relationship between FFA utilization and maintenance requirement in the two breeds.During fasting at 12 months of age, Friesians had higher concentrations of plasma GH and noradrenaline. At 20 months of age they had higher concentiations of glucose, insulin and catecholamines. There was no obvious hormonal explanation for the observed differences in body composition or growth efficiency. Correlations between indices of fat partitioning and maintenance requirement were low, suggesting no direct link between the two traits.
