Football Training

Adequate length and tension of postural muscles are necessary to maintain proper body posture and enable basic movement patterns to be correctly carried out. These muscles include the hamstrings. Research results show that these are often characterised by reduced elasticity and excessive passive stiffness. The aim of our study was to assess the relationship between hamstring shortening, body posture and excessive body weight in physically active boys. The study involved 69 boys aged from 6 to 19 years who regularly took part in football training (at least three times a week) for at least 12 months. Body height (calibrated anthropometer), body weight (electronic balance TANITA), torso positioning in three planes (ultrasonic system ZEBIS Pointer) and the flexibility of the hamstrings (goniometer) were analysed. Descriptive statistics, cardinality tables, the Kruskal-Wallis test and an effect size were used in statistical analysis. The reduction of hamstring elasticity in both legs was diagnosed in 50.72 % and in one leg in 13.05 % of the boys studied, while 24.65 % were overweight and 4.35 % were obese. No significant differences in the torso position were found in the groups distinguished by hamstring flexibility. However, subjects with hamstring shortening tended to have increased pelvic torsion, increased angular kyphosis and lumbar lordosis, have greater asymmetry of the right and left pelvis and shoulders, and increased scoliotic deformities. A significant correlation was found between hamstring flexibility, body weight and body mass index (BMI). Common hamstring shortening in boys taking part in football training does not significantly affect body posture but significantly correlates with body weight and BMI. Stretching exercises and soft tissue mobilisation techniques should be included in the football training of young players.

Aim. To investigate physical development of children in Voronezh region in different age groups in 2011-2014 in comparison with the regional studies data in 1997-1999. Methods. The study was performed on 5644 children aged 1-18 years of health groups I and II in comparison with the data of 10 247 children aged 1-14 years examined in 1997-1999. Body height, weight and body mass index Z-scores, calculated using WHO AnthroPlus software, were evaluated. Results. Children’s Z-score values for body height in 2011-2014 were higher than in 1997-1999 in all age groups and at the age of 1-9 years these values exceeded World Health Organization (WHO) standards. Girls’ height approached the standards in 10-14 and 15-18 years, and boys’ height - in 15-18 years. Body weight of children aged 2-8 years was higher than the regional data in 1997-1999 and WHO standards approaching them at the age of 9. Body mass index increase compared to WHO standards was revealed in children aged 1-4 years (p=0.000), and in 2011-2014 the reported differences were less prominent than in 1997-1999. In 2011-2014 among 15-18-years-old girls the shift of body mass index values to the lack of body weight was noted, in 1997-1999 the same changes were found out for 10-14-years-old girls. Conclusion. In 2011-2014 specific attention was required to be paid to physical development of children at the age from 1 to 4 years due to overweight risk of and girls aged 15-18 years due to probable underweight risk.

Body mass index (BMI) is to monitor nutritional status adults, especially those related to deficiency and overweight. Body fat percentage can describe the risk of degenerative diseases.This study was conducted to measure the relationship between BMI and body fat percentage. Methods An analytical study was conducted to 41 male and 51 female participant from Universitas Teuku Umar. The body weight was measured using scales, whereas the body height was measured using microtoise. The body fat percentage was measured using Karada Scan. The BMI was calculated by dividing the body weight in kilogram divided by body height in meter square. Data was collected from 16-18th February 2021 and analyzed by Pearson’s correlation test. The results showed BMI underweight, normal, and overweight were 10,9, 57,6, and 31,5. High body fat percentage in men were 75,6% and in women were 35,5%. There is a relationship between the nutritional status of the women group and the body fat percentage with p-value is obtained = 0.021. Furthermore, for men, there is no relationship between nutritional status in the men group and the body fat percentage. There is a relationship between nutritional status and body fat percentage in women. Among this population, BMI can still be used to determine body fat percentage

Introduction: When both parents are obesity, thus the children are 80% potentially become overweight or obesity. If one of the parent is overweight or obesity, thus the children are 40% potentially to become overweight or obesity. The purpose of the study is to analyze is there any significant relationship between parents’ body shape with overweight among students at Singkawang Adventist School.  Method: The method of the study is descriptive with quantitative method and the cross sectional design. Sampling technique is total sampling among the overweight students. Number of respondens are 35 persons which have been measure body height, body weight and determined Body Mass Index (BMI). Data processing using SPSS Program.  Result: The results of the study show that the status of overweight students is obesity and parents’ body shape are overweight (there is no significant relationship between obesity in adolescents with the body shape of the father with a significance of (0.086) with a ρ value> 0.05 as well as no significant relationship between obesity in adolescents with the body shape of their mothers, with a significance of  (0.411) with ρ value> 0.005). There is no significant relationship between overweight students with parents’ body shape. There is not enough evidence to refuse null hypothesis.  Disscussion: Recommendation are given to Singkawang Adventist School Students in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle and give effort to reduce body weight. To the next researcher to do research with bigger sample size.   Keywords : overweight, obesity, Body Mass Index(BMI), body shape

The hands are anatomically specialized for manipulative tasks with different physical objects, where they can cope with certain loads with different forces and intensity. During various physical and sports activities, the hands produce the appropriate muscular force for gripping, which manifests as the hand grip's force. For this reason, hand grip strength (HGS) is recognized as a limiting factor in all manipulative activities performed by the cranial part of the body. The current research included a sample of 22 subjects, 16 male Body Height (BH=180.28±4.65cm); Body Weight (BW=80.05±9.96kg), Body Mass Index (BMI=24.61±2.74kg/m²) and 6 female subjects Body Height (BH=167.42±11.11cm); Body Weight (BW=64.80±10.09kg); Body Mass Index (BMI=23.02±1.57kg/m²) on the third year of study at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports. This study aimed to determine the maximum isometric muscle force of the handgrip and differences between the same gender of students. A t-test for small samples was applied for data processing, and the relevant statistical parameters were calculated. The obtained t-test results confirmed statistically significant differences between the so-called dominant and non-dominant hands in male subjects (t=4.158; p<0.05) and female subjects (t=3.176; p<0.05). The obtained results of this research will be used for analytical and diagnostic purposes with a wide range of activities in the population of physical education and sports students (assessment of physical ability, trends, and tendencies to monitor and change abilities, influence on the implementation of certain curricula of some subjects studied at the faculty, etc.).

Excessive Body Weight

Background:Misbalance between energy intake and consumption is considered the main reason of obesity. However, over the recent years there has been a lot of emerging data concerning early origins of obesity that forms during intrauterine development and/or early age periods.Objective:Our aim was to study how physically developed are the children of early school ages.Methods:The study included children aged 7 to 10 years. Their physical development was assessed with the WHO AnthroPlus (2009) software.Results:652 children were examined. Of them, balanced development was found in: according to the WAZ index (body mass/age) — 466/530 (87,9%) schoolchildren; HAZ index (height/age) — 620/652 (95,1%); BAZ (body mass index/age) — only 438/652 (67,2%) children. Excessive body weight was found in 61 (18,8%) of the 324 girls and 65 (19,8%) of the 328 boys (р = 0,891), obesity — in 24 (7,4%) and 52 (15,9%) children correspondingly (р = 0,038).Conclusion:Having evaluated the physical development of early aged schoolchildren between the ages of 7 and 10 years, it is possible to state that there is evidence in favour of higher readings of mass-weight indexes as compared to the standard WHO population. Every third early age schoolchild can have physical development deviations, at the same time boys are obese twice as often as girls.

AbstractBackgroundThe 12-lead electrocardiogram shows a broad range of abnormal patterns in trained athletes. The primary end point of this study was to investigate P wave dispersion, and P wave durations and related factors in different genders applying for registration to the School of Physical Education and Sports.Methods and ResultsFrom 2006 to 2009, a total of 2093 students – 1674 boys with a mean age of 19.8 plus or minus 1.9 years and 419 girls with a mean age of 19.1 plus or minus 1.8 years – were included in the study. All 12 leads of the resting electrocardiogram were evaluated for P wave dispersion and electrocardiogram abnormalities. Baseline parameters such as age, body weight, body height, and body mass index, as well as electrocardiogram findings such as P wave maximal duration and P wave dispersion, were significantly higher in boys than in girls. Of all the parameters tested with correlation analysis, only gender (p = 0.03) (r = 0.04), body weight (p < 0.001) (r = 0.07), body height (p = 0.004) (r = 0.06), and body mass index (p = 0.01) (p = 0.05) were correlated with P wave dispersion.ConclusionThe frequencies of all electrocardiogram abnormalities, P wave dispersion, and P wave maximal duration were higher in boys as compared with girls in an unselected student population applying for registration to the School of Physical Education and Sports; in addition, P wave dispersion was correlated with gender, body weight, body height, and body mass index.

SummaryThe aim of this study was to assess the impact of social and occupational status on the BMI of the gentry and peasantry in the Kingdom of Poland at the turn of 19th and early 20th centuries. Use was made of data on the height and weight of 304 men, including 200 peasants and 104 gentlemen, and 275 women, including 200 from the peasantry and 75 from the gentry. Gentlemen were characterized by a greater body height than peasants (169.40 cm and 166.96 cm, respectively), a greater body weight (67.09 kg and 60.99 kg, respectively) and a higher BMI (23.33 kg/m2and 21.83 kg/m2, respectively). Landowners and intelligentsia had a greater BMI than peasants (23.12 kg/m2and 24.20 kg/m2vs 21.83 kg/m2, respectively). In the case of women, there were no statistically significant differences in mean height, weight and BMI by their social position, and in BMI by occupational status. Underweight occurred less frequently in the gentry and more frequently in the peasantry (0.97% and 2.04%, respectively). Overweight was five times more common in gentlemen than in peasants (26.21% and 5.10%, respectively). Differences in the BMI of gentlefolk and peasants resulted from differences in diet and lifestyle related to socioeconomic status.

El propósito del presente estudio fue determinar el perfil dermatoglífico y la somatotipificación de un grupo de adolescentes (edad, 15.2 ± 0.3 años) de la selección de futbol del departamento de Córdoba, Colombia. Se realizaron mediciones antropométricas con las cuales se derivó indicadores como el índice de masa corporal (IMC), grasa corporal (GC) y el somatotipo; igualmente, se realizó registro de la huella dactilar y se determinó, siguiendo el protocolo de Cummins y Midlo (1942), los diseños digitales: Arco (A), Presilla (L) y Verticilo (W), Índice Delta (D10), sumatoria de la cantidad total de líneas (SQTL) y, adicionalmente, los tipos de fórmulas digitales (AL, ALW, 10L, 10W, LW y WL). Los resultados de los indicadores antropométricos fueron: IMC = 20.5 ± 2.1 kg∙m2, GC = 10.2 ± 2.7 %; los valores encontrados en los componentes del somatotipo fueron de 3.4 ± 0.5 – 4.6 ± 0.9 – 3.4 ± 1.1 (endomorfía – mesomorfía – ectomorfía, respectivamente). Con relación a los indicadores dermatoglíficos, se encontró una presencia de: A = 5%, L = 65% y W = 31%; el D10 = 12.6 ± 3.5 y la SQTL = 131.7 ± 39.1. Por otra parte, el predominio de fórmulas digitales fue de LW (40%), seguido de WL (20%) y ALW y 10L (con el 15% cada una) y menos frecuente la formula digital AL (10%). Con estos resultados se concluye que el IMC y la GC se encontró en los rangos aceptados para la edad y sexo; el somatotipo predominante en el grupo fue el mesomorfo balanceado.Abstract. The purpose of the present study was to determine the dermatoglyphic profile and somatotyping of a group of adolescents (age = 15.2 ± 0.3) from the Córdoba soccer team (Colombia). Standardized anthropometric measurements were made (height, body weight, skinfolds, girths and breadths); indicators, such as body mass index (BMI), fat mass (FM), and somatotype were calculated from those measurements. At the same time, fingerprints were taken and digital designs were determined following the Cummins y Midlo (1942) protocol: Arches (A), Loops (L) and Whorls (W), Delta Index (D10), total number of lines on the right hand (SQTL), and additionally the types of digital formulas (AL, ALW, 10L, 10W, LW and WL). The results of the anthropometric indicators were: BMI = 20.5 ± 2.1 kg∙m2, FM = 10.2 ± 2.7 %; somatotype = 3.4 ± 0.5 – 4.6±0.9 – 3.4 ± 1 (mesomorph – endomorph – ectomorph, respectively). Regarding the dermatoglyphic indicators, a frequency of: A= 5%, L = 65% and W = 31% was found; D10 = 12.6 ± 3.5 and SQTL = 131.7 ± 39.1. On the other hand, the predominance of digital formulas were LW (40%), followed by WL (20%), ALW and 10L (with 15% each) and less frequently the digital formula AL (10%). Our results suggest that BMI and FM were found in the accepted ranges for age and sex; the predominant somatotype in the group was the balanced mesomorph.
