“…In fact, an elevated fat mass percentage (FM%) negatively influences the quality of functional movement patterns, reducing physical performance in athletes [4][5][6]. Conversely, wider muscle mass areas, particularly of the upper limb, maximizes power expression and the capacity to perform repeated sprints with changes in direction [7,8].…”

The aim of this study was to analyze the efficiency of classic and specific bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA) in the assessment of maturity related differences in body composition among male elite youth soccer players, and to provide bioelectrical impedance reference data for this category. A group of 178 players (aged 12.1 ± 1.6 years) were registered in a professional Italian soccer team participating in the first division (Serie A). They were divided into three groups according to their maturity status while bioelectrical resistance and reactance were obtained. The classic and specific BIVA procedures were applied, which correct bioelectrical values for body height and body geometry, respectively. Percentage of fat mass (FM%) and total body water (TBW (L)) were estimated from bioelectrical values. Age-specific z-scores of the predicted age at peak height velocity identified 29 players as earlier-, 126 as on time-, and 23 as later-maturing. TBW was higher (p < 0.01) in adolescents classified as “early” maturity status compared to the other two groups and classic BIVA confirmed these results. Conversely, no differences in FM% were found among the groups. Specific vector length showed a higher correlation (r = 0.748) with FM% compared with the classic approach (r = 0.493). Classic vector length showed a stronger association (r = −0.955) with TBW compared with specific (r = −0.263). Specific BIVA turns out to be accurate for the analysis of FM% in athletes, while classic BIVA shows to be a valid approach to evaluate TBW. An original data set of bioelectric impedance reference values of male elite youth soccer players was provided.

“…Handball is a dynamic and intermittent sports discipline, in which the goalkeeper plays a very important role ( Hermassi et al, 2017 , 2018 ). Assuming this position, an athlete has restricted freedom of movement because s/he must be always ready to intervene whenever necessary ( Schwesig et al, 2017 ).…”

The aim of the study was to assess postural stability of goalkeepers from the Polish national junior handball team. Eleven juniors of the Polish national handball team (age 16.82 ± 1.6 years, body height 191.27 ± 3.1 cm, body mass 88.41 ± 12.26 kg, BMI 24.18 ± 3.22 kg/m2) were selected for the study. The Biodex Balance System and AccuGait AM¬TI platform were used to evaluate postural stability. The obtained results indicated good postural stability of the subjects. During the Biodex Balance System platform tests, all subjects presented very good postural stability and maintained within Zone A. Postural sway was greater in the sagittal plane compared to the frontal one. Most of the participants demonstrated slight backward tilts, but maintained in Quadrant IV. During the AccuGait AMTI platform trial, Path Length and Average COP Speed significantly increased in the test performed with closed eyes. Furthermore, there were significant positive correlations between the number of variables obtained during the Biodex Balance System and AccuGait AMTI tests. Proper and stable posture are necessary conditions to be met to carry out most free movements and locomotion. They play a significant role in the game of a handball goalkeeper and for that reason, postural stability testing of handball goalkeepers is an important element of coordination training. Thus, the use of postural stability exercises implementing the biofeedback method on stabilo and dynamometric platforms is practical and justifiable.

“…En torno a las medidas de pantorrilla, circunferencia y masa grasa, resultan ser variables a considerar en la ejecución del salto vertical (Rendón et al, 2017). Hermassi et al (2019), sugiere que el volumen muscular de pantorrilla puede generar un mayor rendimiento en parámetros de fuerza en jugadores de balón mano, al igual que en el presente estudio, donde se evidencia la relación que existe entre el perímetro corregido de pantorrilla y los valores elevados de potencia.…”

La antropometría regional resulta ser un procedimiento importante en la proyección del desempeño de un deportista. El objetivo del presente estudio es relacionar las características antropométricas de extremidad inferior con la potencia de salto en jóvenes deportistas. Se utilizó una metodología correlacional donde se evaluaron a 44 deportistas juveniles (30 hombres y 14 mujeres), a los cuales, se les midió la altura del salto en sentadilla de 90° (SJ), contra movimiento con manos fijas (CMJ-MF) y contra movimiento con manos libres (CMJ-ML). Estas variables derivaron al cálculo de potencia. Junto con esto se determinó características antropométricas de miembro inferior vinculados a pliegues cutáneos y perímetros, obteniendo valores de muslo medio (MMED) y máximo (MMAX), perímetro corregido de pantorrilla (PCP), área de sección muscular de cuádriceps (ASMC), área de sección muscular de isquiotibial (ASMI) y área de sección muscular total de muslo (ASMM). Los resultados mostraron una correlación significativa entre el perímetro corregido de pantorrilla y la potencia de salto en SJ (r=0,73; p=0,00), CMJ-MF (r=0,72; p=0,00) y CMJ-ML (r=0,7; p=0,00). En conclusión, el perímetro de pantorrilla presentó componentes relacionados a la potencia de salto de los deportistas juveniles.
