We recently described the genotype/phenotype features of all Spanish patients diagnosed with McArdle disease as January 2011 (n = 239, prevalence ~1/167,000) (J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry 2012;83:322-8). Several caveats were however identified suggesting that is actually higher.We have now updated main data, well potential associations within/between them, individuals currently (December 2016).Ninety-four new (all Caucasian) been diagnosed, yielding a ~1/139,543 individuals. Around 55%...
The aim of the study was to investigate relationships between countermovement jump (CMJ) height and inertial power in squat sprint variables with change direction (COD) performance. Fifty young healthy active males participated study. To determine these relationships, we carried out a 10-m linear test (T 10 m), vertical tests (CMJ CMJ Abalakov), an assessment relative bodyweight flywheel (Pbw), COD sprints two different turn types (COD-90° COD-180°). T10 m showed statistically large moderate...

The speed performance is involved not only in linear sprints, but also a wide spectrum of multi-directional movements, such as curve sprinting. Curved sprint can be defined with gradual and continuous change direction (COD). Although ~85% the actions performed at maximum velocity professional soccer league are curvilinear there any specific test to assess this ability. This study aimed analyse reliability new test, compare its results those obtained by players sprint. Forty experienced 3...
