“…The senior category had the highest number of reported physical complaints. This is consistent with Albaladejo-Saura et al, (2022) and AAOS (2013) data that adolescents are more susceptible to sports injuries because they participate in sports earlier and more intensively and are in the process of rapid growth and neurobiological maturation while navigating an increasingly competitive and selective psychosocial environment.…”

Educators and health professionals need to gain knowledge of the special needs of artistic roller skaters if they seek effective training and preventing physical complaints or injuries. In the absence of epidemiological studies on artistic roller skaters, it is useful to characterize the participants, their participation habits, and the occurrence of physical complaints or injuries. A webbased survey was designed to collect epidemiological information on female artistic roller skaters. The selfreport questionnaire included information about the participant, her participation habits, injury history, and physical complaints in the past 12 months. A total of 143 female artistic roller skaters were included in the study. Sixty-seven [46.9%] of the participants had 175 physical complaints in the past 12 months, for an average of 2.61 complaints per skater. The physical complaints mainly affected the lower limbs (53.1%), followed by the trunk (24.0%) and upper limbs (22.9%). The most affected sites were the knee (16.6%), back (10.9%) and wrist (10.3%). Our results suggest that physical complaints are common in artistic roller skating. It becomes crucial to study the etiology of physical complaints and/or injuries. Preventing physical complaints and injuries is crucial for athletes' well-being. Our study results may draw attention and help coaches and educators implement adequate preventive measures.

“…However, to our knowledge, this is the first study to show that the effects on body composition after performing HIIT-based training depends on sex, in adolescents around the age at peak height velocity (APHV). Previous studies have shown that hormonal changes around APHV, related to the maturational process, have significant effects on body composition, with an increase in muscle mass and a decrease in fat mass found in males; and an increase in fat mass in females ( 38 , 39 ). Thus, this aspect could be modulating the effects of HIIT on body composition, so results of current research must be interpreted with some reservations due to maturation has not been controlled, among other polluting factors.…”

ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of sprint interval training (SIT) and [high intensive interval training (HIIT)] carried out during the cool-down period of the physical education classes on body composition, blood pressure variables (BP) and pulse rate (PR), and cardiorespiratory fitness of adolescents who are overweight and obese, and to compare the differences in enjoyment in response to SIT vs. HIIT.MethodsFor this randomized controlled trial, forty-five adolescents were recruited from a high school and were randomly placed into three groups. SIT and HIIT trained for 8 weeks, twice a week, for 12 min/session. Experimental group (EG) 3 was the control, and they maintained their regular physical education class schedule. The SIT group performed 6 sets of 60 s of work (90-95%HRmax) / 60 s of rest (50-55%HRmax), and the HIIT group performed 3 sets of 2 min of work (80-85%HRmax) / 2 min of rest (50-55%HRmax).ResultsBoth experimental groups showed a significant improvement in fat mass (FM) (%) and trunk FM (kg). In addition, EG2 reported a significance improvement in lean mass (kg), blood pressure BP (mmHG), systolic blood pressure (SBP) (mmHg), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (mmHg), PR (bpm), and VO2max (ml/kg/min).ConclusionThe present study found that a HIIT protocol performed during the cool-down period of the physical education classes generated adaptations such as improvement in body composition, BP variables and PR, and cardiorespiratory fitness, in overweight and obese adolescents. In contrast, the group of overweight and obese adolescents who performed SIT showed limited benefits, with changes in fat mass only.

“…Regarding the limitations of the study, firstly, the gold standard to evaluate the biological maturation, which is wrist and hand radiography [11], was not used to determine the maturity status of the players. This method, although it is the reference method, also has certain disadvantages since it uses X-rays and exposes the participants to certain radiation; moreover, it is a time-consuming, invasive method with a high cost [65]. Another noninvasive option, easy to apply and widely used in previous research with athletes [13,26], is maturity estimation equations based on regression equations.…”

“…The one used in this study was the one described by Mirwald et al [34], as it has been one of the most widely used in the adolescent athlete population in different disciplines [13]. In addition, the considerations identified in the literature were followed to avoid the inclusion of errors in the estimation of the maturity offset [65]. The sample size and selection of the same were also a limitation, which limits the extrapolation of the results to populations that do not have similar characteristics, and the study design, which, being cross-sectional, was not possible to follow up on how biological maturation affects throughout adolescence.…”

The aims of this research were to analyze the differences in kinanthropometric characteristics and physical performance as a function of biological maturation, as well as to analyze these differences with the inclusion of the covariates age, maturity offset and diet, and to know how the players were classified according to BMI z-score. Seventy-three handball players (mean age: 14.17 ± 0.61) underwent a kinanthropometric assessment, physical performance tests and self-completed the KIDMED questionnaire. The sample was divided into three groups based on age at peak height velocity (APHV). Significant differences were found for basic measurements, BMI, BMI z-score, Cormic Index, muscle mass, medicine ball throw and SJ jump (p < 0.000–0.048), with early maturers having the highest values. All covariates included had a determinant influence on the kinanthropometric characteristics (p < 0.000–0.014), and both age and maturity offset showed significant differences in most physical tests (p < 0.000–0.033), so these covariates should be considered in evaluations to predict the future performance of players. Finally, significant differences were found between the biological maturation groups in the distribution of the BMI classification, with the normal-weight grade being the predominant one.
