Gait variability can be considered an indirect measure of gait stability, in particular regarding temporal or spatial assessment. Physical activity, such as walking, is advised for the elderly and improved by stability. The aim this study was to investigate associations between stability physical activity women different age ranges. Forty-two healthy ranges (18-40 yrs. 65-75 yrs.) were recruited study. To assess subjects wore a multi-sensor monitor whole week, inferring time spent moderate...
Dribbling speed in soccer is considered critical to the outcome of game and can assist talent identification process. However, little known about biomechanics this skill. By means a motion capture system, we aimed quantitatively investigate determinants effective dribbling skill group 10 Under-13 sub-elite players, divided by median-split technique according their test time (faster slower groups). Foot-ball contacts cadence, centre mass (CoM), ranges (RoM), velocity acceleration, as well...
Ciprandi, D, Lovecchio, N, Piacenza, M, Limonta, E, Esposito, F, Sforza, C, Zago, M. Energy cost of continuous shuttle running: Comparison 4 measurement methods. J Strength Cond Res 32(8): 2265-2272, 2018-Assessing runs with frequent turns (shuttle run) is a viable option to evaluate the energy associated sport-specific high-intensity intermittent activities. To date, no study investigated extent which computation exercise affected by following factors: procedure and duration oxygen uptake...
Dribbling and pass-kick are the most frequently performed techniques during match play. While an extensive knowledge is available about kicking biomechanics, little known dribbling kinematics. Given that performance can assist in talent identification process [1], we aim at finding biomechanics determinants of this technique. A motion analysis system recorded 3-D coordinates 21 reflective markers placed upon body 10 youth sub-elite soccer players (12.6±0.37 years, 42.9±6.15 kg, 1.54 ± 0.07...
In karate, balance control represents a key performance determinant (1). Balance stability was reported to be related refined of the center mass (CoM) displacement (2). The aim current study quantitatively investigate motor strategies adopted by elite and non-elite karateka maintain control. We analyzed execution traditional karate techniques (kata) in two groups: Masters (n=6, 31±19 years) Practitioners (n=4, 25±9 years). On each participant, three-dimensional coordinates 14 reflective...
The study aimed to provide quantitative information about the facial soft-tissues of Italian and Northern Sudanese subjects with Down’s syndrome (DS) by using summary anthropometric measurements representative size harmony. 3D coordinates soft-tissue landmarks were obtained a computerized digitizer in 54 DS (20 females, 34 males, aged 13-52 years), 64 (18 46 5-34 578 healthy Italian, 653 reference subjects, matched for sex age. From landmarks, 16 dimensions calculated. Data from compared...
Karate is a Japanese martial art that involves repeated and technically demanding sequences of strikes defences. In kata competition selected movements are organised in fixed varying duration complexity. The evaluation usually made by subjective scoring from coaches judges, who employ qualitative, global assessment. Holistic quantitative evaluations karate performance still unavailable. Based on previous findings (1), we hypothesise the multi-joint motion patterns enable complex techniques...
Participation in physical activity (PA) during childhood can help to reduce the onset of risk factors associated with ill health. Seasonal influences play a large role determining PA behaviors. Lack information about overweight (OW) and obese (OB) children sedentary (SED) behaviors, evaluated whole year, has made it difficult assess appropriate interventions. PURPOSE: The aim this study was objectively measure behavior sample 6 14 yr-old order investigate seasonal weekly differences SED...
PURPOSE: It has been previously demonstrated that higher physical activity (PA) levels and better fitness (PF) were associated with health-related quality of life (HRQoL)1. However, Wanderley et al. did not take the differences between PA calculated as overall (MVPAall) or accumulated in bouts at least 10 min (MVPA10) into account. Therefore, aim this study was to compare different effects MVPA10 MVPAall on PF HRQoL a population young older adults. METHODS: 21 adults (YA: age 22.6±2.9 yrs;...
Rowing is a motor skill that requires high levels of consistency, coherence, accuracy and continuity, particularly at an elite level [1]. The rowing stroke consists two phases: the drive, during which force applied to blade in order move boat relative water, recover, rowers return their former position [2]. goal current study was investigate kinematic differences between International Level (IL) National (NL), identify parameters have potential characterise best ergometer technique. With...
