The aims of the present study were to assess competitive sprinters' body size and composition determine their impact on performance.Ninety-eight male sprinters (100 m) participated in this cross-sectional study. A series measurements was directly taken data muscular strength power tests self-reported. Body assessed by skinfold method somatotype calculated Heath-Carter anthropometric method. Sprinters classified into three groups depending personal best time comparisons performed between...
Increased sedentary lifestyle and prevalence of overweight/obesity are common in western countries. The purposes this study were (i) to assess the main health-related anthropometric characteristics a sample students relation sex, amount physical activity sport discipline, (ii) investigate accuracy Body Mass Index (BMI) Waist-to-Stature Ratio (WSR) as indicators body fat percentage (%F) young adults.734 university students, both sexes, participated present research. A self-administered...
Elite athletes differ from each other in their characteristics according to discipline. This study aimed identify performance predictors elite Croatian sprinters taking into consideration anthropometric, psychological and genetic characteristics. One hundred four (68 males 36 females) participated this study. Of them, 38 are currently competing the 100-metre dash. The others former sprinters. participants underwent direct anthropometric assessment. Participants were also tested by means of...
Barbieri, Davide, Luciana Zaccagni, Annalisa Cogo, Emanuela Gualdi-Russo. Body Composition and somatotype of experienced mountain climbers. High Alt. Med. Biol. 13:46–50.—Aims: In order to evaluate body composition somatotype, 10 Italian climbers were assessed from an anthropometric point view, before a high altitude ascent. mass, height, girths, skinfolds, bone breadths gathered used calculate each subject. Results: Means standard deviations the subjects' characteristics calculated....
Abstract Aims The role of pre-participation screening (PPS) modalities in preventing sudden cardiac death (SCD) athletes is debated due to a high false-positive rate. Focused ultrasound (FoCUS) has shown higher sensitivity and specificity, but its cost-effectiveness remains uncertain. This study aimed determine the diagnostic performance FoCUS use PPS. Methods results A total 2111 (77.4% male, mean age 24.9 ± 15.2years) underwent standardized family medical history collection, physical...
The purpose of this study is to investigate separately in the two sexes physical adaptations associated exposure high altitude a sample 18 nonacclimatized Caucasian subjects (10 males and 8 females, 22-59 years) who participated scientific expeditions Himalaya up Pyramid Laboratory (5050 m, Nepal) or Everest North Base Camp (5300 Tibet). Anthropometric traits (body height weight, eight girths six skinfolds) were collected according standard procedures, before departure at sea level, during...
Cardiovascular diseases are the main cause of death worldwide. The aim present study is to verify performances a data mining methodology in evaluation cardiovascular risk athletes, and whether results may be used support clinical decision making. Anthropometric (height weight), demographic (age sex) biomedical (blood pressure pulse rate) 26,002 athletes were collected 2012 during routine sport medical examinations, which included electrocardiography at rest. Subjects involved competitive...
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate and quantify the relative risk hospital admission death because Sars-Cov2 infection between non-vaccinated vaccinated individuals in Italy. Methods Data about people, infections, admissions, intensive care units fatalities were extracted from bulletin published by Italian National Health Institute ( Istituto Superiore di Sanità ) on 24 th December 2021. Likelihood ratios admission, calculated people for each observed patient outcomes,...
Following the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic, Italy has implemented an extensive vaccination campaign involving individuals above age 12, both sexes. The public opinion and medical community alike questioned usefulness efficacy vaccines against SARS-CoV-2. widespread was that protected especially serious conditions which could require intensive care may lead to death patient rather than possibility infection. In order quantify effect campaign, we calculated relative risks non-vaccinated...
