SummaryStudy aim: To assess body posture of young female volleyball players in relation to their untrained mates. Material and methods: A group of 42 volleyball players and another of 43 untrained girls, all aged 13 -16 years were studied with respect to their body posture indices by using computer posturography. Spinal angles and curvatures were measured, and asymmetry and body posture type were assessed. Body height and mass, BMI and body fat content (by bioimpedance technique) were determined. Results: As compared with untrained girls, the volleyball players were more slender, the positions of shoulders and pelvis being more symmetrical, and shoulder blades and waist triangles were more asymmetrical. Volleyball players were predominantly kyphotic, their lumbar lordosis was flattened and head protruded, especially in those having longer training experience. Conclusions:The observed asymmetries brought about by unilateral training loads and progressing thoracic kyphosis call for applying corrective and/or yoga exercises to adolescent female volleyball players.

“…Diversos estudios han valorado la extensibilidad isquiosural en deportistas, tales como nadadores (Pastor, 2000;Sanz, 2002), corredores de larga distancia (Wang et al, 1993;Trehearn & Buresh, 2009), piragüistas (García-Ibarra et al, 2007;López-Miñarro et al 2008a, 2008b, 2009b, 2010bLópez Miñarro & Alacid, 2010), remeros (Stuchfield & Coleman, 2006), halterófilos (Dillon et al, 2004), gimnastas de rítmica Martínez, 2004), futbolistas (Oberg et al, 1984;McIntyre & Hall, 2005;López-Miñarro et al, 2007a, 2007bCaldwell & Peters, 2009;Henderson et al), jugadores de fútbol australiano (Young et al, 2005), luchadores (Mirzaei et al, 2009), jugadoras de lacrosse (Enemark-Miller et al, 2009), tenistas (Kibler & Chandler, 2003), taekwondistas (Toskovic et al, 2004), y jugadoras de voleibol (Melrose et al, 2007). La mayoría de estos estudios encuentran una extensibilidad reducida, excepto en aquellos deportes donde la misma tiene un papel muy importante en la ejecución de los gestos téc-nicos, como en la gimnasia rítmica y la danza.…”

RESUMEN:El objetivo fue determinar la influencia de un programa de estiramientos de la musculatura isquiosural en la extensibilidad de jugadores de fútbol. Un total de 17 futbolistas de 3ª división (media de edad: 25,12 ± 4,16 años) y 19 sujetos sedentarios (media de edad: 24,26 ± 5,64 años) (grupo control) participaron voluntariamente en el estudio. El grupo de futbolistas realizó, durante un periodo de 16 semanas, un plan específico de estiramientos de la musculatura isquiosural, que fue incluido dentro de su plan de entrenamiento, realizando dos series de cuatro estiramientos en las cuatro sesiones semanales de entrenamiento. El grupo control estuvo compuesto por adultos jóvenes varones que no realizaban actividad física alguna. A todos ellos se les valoró la extensibilidad isquiosural al inicio del programa (pre-test), a las 8 semanas (test intermedio) y al finalizar el programa (16 semanas, post-test) mediante el test de elevación de la pierna recta activo (EPR). Se encontró una mejora significativa (p < 0,001) en los valores obtenidos por los futbolistas entre el pre-test y el post-test en ambos miembros (68,90 ± 9,04º y 77,80 ± 8,25º en la pierna derecha; 66,10 ± 8,15º y 77,10 ± 7,77º en la izquierda, respectivamente). También se encontraron diferencias entre la valoración intermedia y el post-test (p < 0,016). Respecto al grupo de sedentarios, los valores del EPR se redujeron paulatinamente entre las tres mediciones. En todas las valoraciones realizadas, los futbolistas alcanzaron valores angulares significativamente superiores respecto a los sujetos sedentarios. La implementación de un programa específico de estiramientos de la musculatura isquiosural, al finalizar las sesiones de entrenamiento, en jugadores de fútbol, produce mejoras en la extensibilidad de esta musculatura, reduciéndose los casos de jugadores con una extensibilidad isquiosural reducida.

“…Vertical jump is of the utmost importance in volleyball and is mainly used during serving, setting, attacks and blocks, which are essential for scoring a point. Studies investigating the morphofunctional characteristics of volleyball players have focused on vertical jump height 5,11,[17][18][19][20][21][22] , although today the maximum range of attack of the player during jumping and not his vertical jump height has become more important. Marques et al 5 demonstrated the existence of different types of physical fitness and anthropometric profiles in male volleyball as a function of the specific position of the players.…”

The measures were compared between the two groups using the Student t-test for independent samples. Discriminant function analysis was applied to predict group allocation using the measures obtained as independent variables. The two groups differed significantly in terms of body weight, fat mass, height, maximum attack height, range of attack, and somatotype. Discriminant function analysis identified the somatotype measures (endomorphy, ectomorphy, and mesomorphy) with correlation coefficients below 0.30. The canonical correlation coefficient obtained with this function was 0.856. In conclusion, somatotype or vertical jump ability does not seem to distinguish elite athletes from non-elite athletes in under-17 female volleyball players, and height is the main morphological determinant to achieve elite level performance.
