This study evaluated an electromyographic technique for the measurement of muscle activity deep cervical flexor (DCF) muscles. Electromyographic signals were detected from DCF, sternocleidomastoid (SCM), and anterior scalene (AS) muscles during performance craniocervical flexion (CCF) test, which involves performing 5 stages increasing range motion--the anatomical action DCF muscles.Ten volunteers without known pathology or impairment participated in this study.Root-mean-square (RMS) values...
Orthorexia and muscle dysmorphia are disorders affecting above all young adults whose prevalence social impact still unclear. We aimed to evaluate the of traits orthorexia among freshmen attending university courses focused on nutrition (Dietetics) body care (Exercise Sport Sciences). Students Biology were considered as a control group. The eating disorder (ED) also evaluated.All participants (n = 440; n 53 Dietetics school, 200 Exercise Sciences 187 school) completed following...
The relative age effect (RAE; i.e., an asymmetry in the birth distribution) is a bias observed sport competitions that may favour relatively older athletes talent identification. Therefore, aim of this study was to investigate presence RAE elite soccer players competing Italian championships, even considering discriminations younger and Serie A (in relation median sample), different positional roles (i.e., goalkeeper, defender, midfielder, forward) for each category. total 2051 into...
Introduction The idea that early sport success can be detrimental for long-term performance is still under debate. Therefore, the aims of this study were to examine career trajectories Italian high and long jumpers provide a better understanding development in jumping events. Methods official long-jump high-jump rankings Track Field Federation collected from age 12 termination, both genders year 1994 2014. Top-level athletes identified as those with percentile their personal best between 97...
Conflicting results have been reported on whether closed kinetic chain exercises (such as a leg press) may induce more balanced activation of vastus medialis (VM) and lateralis (VL) muscles compared with open exercise pure knee extension). This study aimed to 1) compare between-vasti motor unit activity 2) analyze the combined behavior from both between exercises. Thirteen participants (four women, mean ± SD age: 27 5 yr) performed isometric extension press at 10, 30, 50, 70% maximum...
In Italy, COVID-19 lockdown was imposed from 8 March until 3 May 2020 with negative consequences on the lifestyles and health of people. Within this context, paper aims: (i) to analyse impact perceived weight changes; (ii) evaluate factors associated perception changes (Body Mass Index (BMI), sleep quality, time spent in sedentary activities), an Italian academic community students workers. A total 3666 participants took part cross-sectional study (2838 828 workers, whom 73.0% were female)....
Abstract Despite the evidence of greater fatigability cervical flexor muscles in neck pain patients, effect unilaterality on muscle fatigue has not been investigated. This study compared myoelectric manifestations sternocleidomastoid (SCM) and anterior scalene (AS) between painful non‐painful sides patients with chronic unilateral pain. Myoelectric signals were recorded from sternal head SCM AS bilaterally during sub‐maximal isometric flexion contractions at 25% 50% maximum voluntary...
