Abstract Background Bioelectric impedance analysis ( BIA ) is commonly used in research to assess body composition. However, studies that validate the accuracy of exclusively post‐menopausal women are lacking. The main purpose present study was evaluate agreement multi‐frequency (MF)‐BIA and single‐frequency (SF)‐ with dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry DXA estimation fat mass FM fat‐free FFM among variation index BMI physical activity PA ). Methods were estimated by 146 a mean (SD) age 62.8...

This study assessed the measurement error of a monitoring system, Video Manual Motion Tracker 1.0 (VMMT1.0), during time–motion analysis basketball players. In this study, four reliability parameters were used to assess system: systematic bias, inter-observer reliability, intra-observer and absolute reliability. A game video was for analysis. To two observers analysed player’s covered distance 50 different periods game. relative distance, chosen players monitored three times by 41 qualified...

Few studies have investigated the different effects that built environment may on physical activity behaviours of men and women. Therefore, aim this study was to estimate gender differences in meeting walking recommendations relation perceived neighbourhood walkability attributes within active transportation leisure-time domains for Czech inhabitants over 50 years age. The sample included 1,417 1,422 women who were randomly selected. Abbreviated Neighbourhood Environment Walkability Scale...

To assess the effect of brisk walking on postural stability, bone mineral density (BMD) and body composition in women over 50 years age with a sedentary occupation.A 10-week intervention based self-regulated (BW) to or from work 30-35 min at least 5 times per week. The research included total 104 (58 group). mean center pressure (COP) velocity medial-lateral anterior-posterior directions, COP eyes open closed, BMD distal forearm calcaneus, weight, fat mass, lean mass were assessed.The BW was...

The study aimed to adapt the standardized Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children (PAQ-C) into Czech language and assess its psychometric properties. A forwards-and-backwards translation method was carried out prepare PAQ-C version (PAQ-C/CZ), followed by adjustments based on socio-cultural aspects. In next phase, participants (n = 169) wore accelerometers seven days. On 8th day, completed PAQ-C/CZ in school so that it possible determine concurrent validity (correlation between...

BACKGROUND:The V sit-and-reach (VSR) test seems to be an appropriate instrument of self-assessment hamstring and low-back flexibility for its ease execution the need only a small amount materials, space, examination skill requirements.It is assumed that specificity (in general) can cause other sources measurement error.OBJECTIVE: This study aimed analyze reliability VSR when used as in adolescent females.METHODS: The sample comprised 43 students (female; age 21.2 ± 0.5 years) from Palacký...

This study assessed and compared the daily step counts recorded by two different motion sensors in order to estimate free-living physical activity of 135 adolescent girls. Each girl concurrently wore a Yamax pedometer an ActiGraph accelerometer (criterion measure) every day for seven consecutive days. The convergent validity can be considered intermediate when used measure activity; but should with caution classify participants’ into corresponding categories because likelihood ‘erroneous’...

Background: Obesity and overweight are defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation associated with balance disorders.Objective: To assess the postural stability in a natural stance obese women based on center of pressure (CoP) velocity anterior-posterior (AP) medial-lateral (ML) directions.Methods: A total 102 categorized according to body mass index into normal weight, categories underwent measurement quiet standing their eyes open (EO) closed (EC).Postural was assessed force...

Excessive body weight seems to be a risk factor for foot loading. We sought investigate the effect of different mass index (BMI) levels on plantar pressure distribution during walking.In total, 163 women aged 45 65 years (mean ± SD: age, 57.4 5.3 years; BMI, 27.0 5.3) participated in study. The were divided, basis into normal-weight, overweight, or obese group. study used four following parameters (PPPs): contact percentage, absolute impulse, relative and peak pressure, which recorded ten...

BACKGROUND: Isokinetic testing is often used to provide coaches with important information about the physical status of athletes.Therefore, a number studies focused on assessment relationship between isokinetic and functional tests.The results limited indicate that changes in different training periods.OBJECTIVE: The aim study was determine characteristics strength knee extensors vertical jump performance three periods annual cycle adolescent soccer players.METHODS: A group players (N = 16;...

In older adults, sedentary behaviors increase while physical activity decreases over time following the compositional nature of 24-h behaviors. These changes in movement-related (MRBs) might be associated with unhealthy weight gain and several health comorbidities. However, information is lacking on how obesity influences longitudinal composition MRBs adults. Furthermore, moderating effect built environment prospective associations between adults not fully understood. Therefore, using an...

Background: Repeated sprint ability tests are today widely used to evaluate the performance capability in team sports.Objective: The aim of this study was determine reliability a specific ice hockey test, which indicates agility and repeated-sprint players.Methods: Twenty four highly trained junior players (age = 17.68 ± 1.52 years; BMI 23.8 1.92 kg • m -2 ) participated study.Each participant assessed for on-ice test 12 × 54 with 30 s rest.Intraclass correlation coefficient (association...

European policy has seen a number of changes and innovations in the field early childhood preschool education over last decade, which have been reflected various forms policies individual EU countries. Within Czech policy, certain approaches implemented children education, such as introduction compulsory before entering primary school from 2017, emphasis on inclusive equal conditions enabling state-supported diversity concepts kindergartens. The aim our study was to assess influence systems...

Foot dimension information is important both for footwear design and clinical applications. In recent years, noncontact three-dimensional (3-D) foot digitizers/scanners have become popular because they are noninvasive valid reliable most of the measures. Some them also offer automated calculations basic dimensions. We aimed to determine test-retest reliability, objectivity, concurrent validity Tiger full-foot 3-D scanner relationship between manual measures medial longitudinal arch...

We can consider two basic concepts of variability: the coordinative variability (proximal joints body) and 'end-point' (distal segments (Hamill, Palmer, & Van Emmerik, 2012).From this point view we suppose greater less in healthy young subjects comparison with older or some disability.Similarly supposition would be stated for limb preference.Some authors (Peters, 1988) recognize manipulative mobilizing (preferred) used support an action (stabilising, non-preferred).From expected less, while...
