Objective: Evaluate the effects of a resistance training protocol in breast cancer
survivors.
Design and method: 20 patients, 32 to 68 years old (49,3±10,1)
surgically treated
for breast cancer with therapeutic treatment concluded at least six month
previously, eligible for non competitive sports were randomly assigned to either
Physical Fitness (PFG) or to Control Group (CG). PFG began exercise programs
consisting of 2 training sessions per week lasting 60 min for 6 months. Each training
session was structured as follows: 10 minutes of warm-up performed on a
stationary bike or treadmill; a central phase of resistance training exercises that
included shoulder press, vertical traction, leg extensions, leg curls, leg press, running
between 40 and 80% of 1RM; a final phase with stretching exercises. For the first
four weeks, training was carried out at 40% of 1RM, then the workload was
progressively increased. In order to evaluate the exercise effect on cardiopulmonary
function and body composition, all patients were tested for VO2max, FVC, FEV1 and
Body Impedance Analyse and had the strength of their principal muscular groups
measured too. Additionally, the psychological screening consists of POMS and FACIT-F.
Data are collected twice, at the beginning and at the end of the training program.
Results: At the time of writing, results suggest that resistance training has positive
effects on all of the physiological and psychological parameters measured.
Conclusions: The results of this study underline the importance of the early inclusion of
structured physical activity in the rehabilitation protocol of breast cancer survivors.

Body
Objective: Evaluate the physiological and psychological benefits of therapeutic
horseback riding in breast cancer survivors. Although there is currently no scientific
evidence about this approach, horseback riding could be a good combination of
psychological therapy and physical activity.
Design and method: 20 patients, 39 to 51 years old (45±4,08), mastectomized with
therapeutic treatment concluded at least six month previously, underwent a screening
protocol to certify their eligibility to non competitive sports. The subjects were then
randomly assigned to either horseback riding group (RG) or to control group (CG). RG
participated in a 4 month training program consisting of one hour of activity per week.
Each activity session consists of three phases: 1.warm up, horse caring and grooming,
2.riding 3. unsaddling and grooming activity. In order to evaluate the exercise effect
on cardiopulmonary function and body composition, all patients were tested for
VO2max, FVC, FEV1 and Body Impedance Analyse.
The strength of principal
muscular groups was measured too. Furthermore, the psychological screening consists
of POMS, FACIT-F, STAI 1, STAI 2, BDI. Data are collected twice, at the beginning and at
the end of the training program.
Results: At the time of the writing preliminary results suggest that horseback riding has
positive effects either on psychological well-being or on physiological parameters,
enhancing quality of life of breast cancer survivors
Conclusions: The results of this study could generate new evidence for the effect of
therapeutic horseback riding on these patients and propose a new way of
rehabilitation after cancer in a non-medical environment.

Body
The aim of our research was to examine whether winter swimming over a period of 5
months results in adaptation changes that improve the tolerance to stress induced by
exposure to cryogenic temeperatures during whole-body cryostimulation (WBC). The
research involved 15 healthy men, with normal body-weight, who had never been
subjected to neither whole-body cryostimulation nor cold water immersion. Subjects
were twice exposed to whole-body stimulation (3 min/-130°C), i.e. before and after
the season of winter swimming. Blood was taken seven times: in the morning before
the first cryostimulation, 30 min after the first cryostimulation and in the next
morning. The same scheme of blood collection was used, after the completion of the
winter swimming season. Our analysis concerned changes in hematological parameters
as well as in reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) glutathione, total oxidative capacity
(TOS), total antioxidative capacity (TAS) and components of the antioxidant system:
superoxide dismutase (SOD) catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione
reductase (R-GSSG). Significant reductions in hemoglobin concentration, number of
red blood cells, the hematocrit index and mean corpuscular volume of red blood cell
have been observed. In response to the first WBC we observed changes both in TOS
and TAS, as well as in antioxidant enzymes. GSSG also increased significantly. After the
winter swimming season, we observed an increase in resting TAS, decrease in TOS, and
highly significant positive change in the GSH:GSSG ratio. The obtained results may
indicated positive adaptation changes in the antioxidant system in healthy individuals
engaged in winter swimming.

Aim
Exercise training is an effective, low-cost therapy improving the functional ability of
patients with peripheral arterial disease. Center-based programs are effective but
poorly available. The identification of effective, low-cost models of intervention could
promote large-scale rehabilitation. Efficacy and cost-effectiveness of a novel
approach to rehabilitation for peripheral arterial disease, prescribed at hospital and
performed at-home, the so-called Test in/Train out program, were evaluated .
Materials and Methods
A total of 289 patients with intermittent claudication (M=210, age=71±10.1y) were
enrolled for a 2-year period. Patients were tested at hospital and pain threshold speed
was determined by an incremental treadmill test. Two daily 10-minute home-walking
sessions at a speed 20-30% below pain threshold speed were prescribed and paced at
home by a metronome. The program included a daily record of exercise, and serial
monthly check-ups at hospital to update the prescription. Patients compliance, Quality
of Life-QoL, Ankle Brachial Index, and walking capacity were evaluated. Direct and
indirect costs of the program were also considered for cost-effective analysis.
Results
Two-hundred-fifty patients (M=191, 70.5±9.2y), at Fontaine’s II-B stage (86%) were
included in the study. A total of 1839 in hospital check-ups (7.36/patient) were
performed. The program, without adverse events reported, showed high compliance,
and significant improvement of QoL (P<0001) and walking capacity (P<.0001). The
average costs of a therapy cycle, and the cost to walk an additional meter before
stopping were 507.20 and 9.22 Euros, respectively.
Conclusions
A Test-in/Train-out program is feasible and provides a low cost improvement of
walking disability in patients with intermittent claudication.

Body
The aim of the study was to determine the acute effect of the different veloergometric
exercise intensities on the endothelium dependent and independent vasodilatation in
non-exercising limb skin. Ten healthy volunteers (men = 4, women = 6) with a mean
age of 21.0 ± 0.54 years, height of 1.75 ± 0.043 m, weight of 69.25 ± 2.62 kg and body
mass index of 22.9 ± 0.81 kg*m-2 (means± SEM) participated in our study. All subjects
were healthy and non-smokers. Subject underwent a three- step incremental test on a
cycle-ergometer. Skin microvascular perfusion were measured using laser Doppler
imaging combined with 1% acetylcholine (ACh) and 1% sodium nitroprusside (SNP)
transcutaneous iontophoresis on forearm non-acral (hairy) skin. Forearm blood flow
(FBF) was measured with venous occlusion plethysmograph. In all subjects, skin
perfusion was unchanged immediately after light exercise (before 100.0±0.1 % and
after exercise 99.4±2.1 %, P>0.05), but it was increased significantly after mild and
submaximal exercise (152.5±9.7% and 292.6± 28.9%, P<0.05). The same increase was
observed in FBF (before 3.2±0.14, light 4.0±0.26, mild 7.4±0.72, and submaximal
9.3±0.83 ml*min-1 per 100 ml tissues, P<0.05). Endothelium-independent vasodilation
rises with increase of exercise intensity. Light exercise does not influence
endothelium-dependent vasodilation, but increase of exercise intensity does change
endothelium-dependent dilatations response. In conclusion, the relatively large muscle
groups over mild intense dynamic exercise leads to non-working limb (arm) blood flow
increase in skin microcirculation and endothelial-independent mechanism, but

OBJECTIVE
The strength ratio of internal tibial rotation and knee flexion supports to medial knee
stabilization. The aim of this study was to evaluate the strength ratio of internal tibial
rotation and knee flexion after the use of semitendinosus and gracilis tendons for
anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
DESIGN AND METHOD
15 recreational athletes with unilateral anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, at
least one years previously, participated in this study, aged between 25 and 40 years
(mean age 34±6 years). In an attempt to minimize unwanted subtalar joint motion,
subjects were immobilized using an ankle brace. Participants were tested at angular
velocities of 60 and 180 deg/sec at a knee flexion angle of 900.
RESULTS
The peak torque/body weight ratio measurements for internal tibial rotation and knee
flexion operative limb and non operative limb were found to be 0.2±0.06 Nm, 0.2±0.08
Nm; 0.8±0.3 Nm, 1.1±0.3 at 60 deg/sec, 0.2±0.05 Nm, 0.2±0.01 Nm, 0.7±0.2 Nm,
0.8±0.2 Nm at 180 deg/sec respectively. The strength ratio of internal tibial rotation
and knee flexion of the operative limb and non operative limb were found to be 5±1.6,
4.5±1.7 at 60 deg/sec, 4.5±1.3, 3.8±1.3 at 180 deg/sec respectively. All measured
parameters of the operated limb at 60 and 180 deg/sec were statistically different
compared to non-operated limb (p<0.01)
CONCLUSIONS
This study has shown that evaluate the strength ratio of internal tibial rotation and
knee flexion is lower after the use of semitendinosus and gracilis tendons for anterior
cruciate ligament reconstruction. This may lead to deficit for medial knee stabilization.

Aim: To examine the incidence of patellofemoral (PF) pain after anterior cruciate
ligament reconstruction using hamstrings autografts and its possible effect on
returning to sports.
Materials and Methods: 42 athletes (17 male-25 female) with a mean age of 23 y.o.
(14-38) received a reconstruction procedure of the anterior cruciate for isolated acute
injury of the ligament. Hamstrings autografts were used in all patients. None of the
patients presented trochlear dysplasia. A common post-operative rehabilitation
program was followed by all patients. Mean follow-up was 64 months (18-80).
Results: No severe immediate post-operative complications were reported. At the end
of follow-up a mean of 92 and 90 Lysholm and IKDC scores was measured respectively.
Of the twenty-two patients who reported painless PF crepitus during the first sixteen
post-operative weeks, eleven patients (26.2% - group A) developed later recurrent
patellofemoral pain and a lower mean of Lysholm (86) and IKDC (84) scores, with a
final percentage of 64% (7 patients) not able to participate in the pre-injury level of
sports activitivies. Patients without patellofemoral pain (31 patients, group B)
presented a significantly lower incidence of not returning to the pre-injury level of
sports (16%, five patients).
Conclusions: A high percentage (26.2%) of patients presented recurrent symptoms of
patellofemoral pain, late after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using
hamstrings autografts. Among these patients a high percentage of 64% were not able
to return to previous level of sports activities.

Purpose: this study was aimed to evaluate the behavior of blood pressure in a group of
young athletes in order to look any possible relationship with age, BMI and body
surface area(BSA) in them. Methods: 300 athletes, aged between 9 and 15 years, were
investigated. Systolic (SBP), Diastolic(DBP)and the mean arterial blood pressure(MAP)
at rest, at the apex of the effort and at the 4 'minute of recovery were measured.
Results: BSA and BMI showed a significant increase between 11 and 12 years. The
SBP at rest increased with age while the DBP did not showed a progressive increase of
values.The MAP at rest showed a significant increase between 11 and 12 years and
between 14 and 15 years. The SBP and the MAP at the peak of the effort increased
every year, with a significant difference between 11 and 12 years. At the 4’of the
recovery the SBP showed a progressive increase with age; DBP did not follow the trend
of systolic pressure. The MAP values increased with significant enhancement
between 12 and 13 years and between 14 and 15 years. Conclusions: in young athletes
blood pressure and anthropometrics parameters increases with age and this increase
becomes significant to the passage between 11 to 12 years. The DBP globally increase
during the growth, even if was not observed any significant change.

OBJECTIVE
Medial tibial stress syndrome is a common, painful musculoskeletal condition that
affects physically active young adults and adolescents.Mesotherapy is a medical
procedure that consists in the application of intradermal injections of mixed
pharmacological substances that are given directly into the region to be treated.
Mesotherapy has been used to treat musculoskelateal diseases. The purpose of this
study was to evaluate the effectiveness of mesotherapy injection on medial tibial
stress syndrome.
DESIGN AND METHOD
15 orienteering athletes with medial tibial stress syndrome participated in this study,
aged between 18 and 35 years (mean age: 26.5 ± 8.5 years). All participants underwent
clinical and instrumental diagnosis (X-rays and three phase local dynamic bone
scintigraphy). Mesotherapy was assigned to 3 treatments, 1 application per 5 days for
2 weeks. 0.5 ml deksketop
rofen trometamol (50
mg/2 ml), 1 ml thiocolchicoside (4 mg/2ml) and 1 ml prilocaine HCl (20 mg/ml) were
mixed in the same injector. This mesotherapy mixture was injected around the medial
tibial area in each session. Functional test score and visual analogue pain scale were
used to evaluate each subject before the treatment and at 10 days after the last
application.
RESULTS
After the treatment; functional test score and visual analogue pain scale were
decreased significantly from 6.5±3.2 to 3.4±2.8 and from 7.2 ± 0.77 to 1.73 ± 1.28
respectively (p<0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
Mesotherapy appeared to be an effective treatment for medial tibial stress syndrome.
The future researches need to be done in this area.

AIM
To evaluate the efficacy of synergy between the Hyaluronic Acid (HA) injections
(peritendinous) and the rehabilitation in athletes affected by tendinitis of the mid
portion of the Achilles Tendon (AT).
Methods
From February to April 2011 we investigated nine agonistic athletes with an average
age of 33,6. Of these, 8 were male and 2 female, practicing different sports, with pain
at the mid portion of the AT, 3 to 5 cm proximal to its site of attachment on the back of
the calcaneus.
They underwent a weekly cycle of 4 injections of HA peritendinous with medium
weight hyaluronans and 5/ 10 sessions of manual therapy (MT), together with an
eccentric training (ET) programme over 4/6 weeks performed at home with sets of
12-15 reps with an increasing load repeated 1-2 times daily.
Myo - fascial terapy was performed immediately before infiltration and lasted between
30 and 45 minutes. All patients were evaluated by average pain VAS (6,6 pre to 0,7
post synergy of rehabilitation) and average repetition of eccentric stretching of the AT
inducing pain (5,1 pre to 10 post ) at baseline and after 8 weeks. On every occasion
each patient had an ecography of the AT, and two of them an MRI scan.
Results
Patients showed a significant reduction in pain symptoms
recovery to return to competitive sports.
and a complete functional
Conclusions
The combination of infiltrative therapy with HA, MT and ET represents an effective
incentive for reducing symptoms and restoring function in competitive athletes with
tendinitis of the mid-portion of AT.

Aim: To investigate the eventual efficacy and safety profiles of intra-articular
ultrasound-guided hyaluronic acid injections associated with rehabilitation in athletes
affected by ankle osteoarthritis.
Methods: In the years from 2008 to 2011 over 220 athletes received an
intra-articular ultrasound-guided injection for a condition of osteoarthritis; 15 athletes
were affected by ankle osteoarthritis. Medium-weight hyaluronans were used. All
patients were evaluated by means of pain VAS and antero-posterior standing range of
motion by the use of a goniometer at baseline and after 6 months. All injections were
ultrasound-guided. All patients also underwent a variable number of rehabilitation
sessions. All adverse events were recorded.
Results: 11 agonistic athletes from different disciplines and 4 non agonistic athletes
made up the group of patients affected by ankle osteoarthritis which underwent
intra-articular injections of hyaluronic acid. A total of 15 injections was administered.
All patients correctly performed rehabilitation sessions. Range of motion improved by
37% in agonistic athletes and by 29% in non agonistic athletes. Pain VAS decreased by
76,4% in agonistic athletes and by 80% in non agonistic athletes. No systemic or local
adverse events were reported.
Discussion: The use of intra-articular hyaluronic acid injections by ultrasound-guidance
seems to be in our experience a valid tool for athletes suffering from ankle
osteoarthritis, with good efficacy and safety profiles. Further studies are needed to
confirm such data.

Objective - It is well known that overweight subjects have the tendency to develop
hypertension and both obesity and hypertension are relevant risk factors for coronary
cardiopathy. The aim of the present study is to point out if an increase of weight in
young athletes corresponds an increase of blood pressure.
Design and methods - We examined 323 young athletes, between 6-18 years old,
requesting a medical certificate of suitability for agonistic sports. We divided them by
gender and age and for each athlete we wrote down the weight, height and blood
pressure with the same procedure. We calculated the Body Mass Index from their
anthropometric measures and the results were compared with the table of Cole (1)
for normal values.
Results - The 26.69% of males and the 23.52% of females were overweight.
These are the blood pressure’s average values founded (in mmHg):
Normal weight males : 111,7 / 69,22
Overweight males : 112,79 / 68,57
Normal weight females : 105,74 / 63,62
Overweight females : 119,43 / 76,68
Conclusion - Although for some age groups the number of athletes was too small to be
significant,
we noticed that in every age group the blood pressure’s values were slightly higher in
overweight athletes, both males and females. This study demonstrates how important
is to control the weight since early ages, to avoid blood pressure increases
and the possible establishing of hypertension and subsequent cardiopathy.

AIM OF THE STUDY: To determine if absolute and relative Achilles tendon (AT) length
and soleus muscle fiber insertion angles onto the AT differ between persons with or
without clinical symptoms of AT tendinopathy.
MATERIALS & METHODS: Persons with (N=14) and without (N=14) clinical symptoms
of AT tendinopathy participated in a laboratory assessment during which longitudinal
ultrasound images of the AT and soleus muscle fiber insertions were recorded,
respectively. For each of these structures, a physiatrist and a physiotherapist each
recorded three images while participants remained standing. The absolute AT length
reflects the distance between the distal part of its insertion on the calcaneus and the
distal musculotendinous junction of the soleus. The relative AT length represents the
absolute AT length normalized against the length of the lower leg segment. The soleus
muscle insertion angle reflects the mean angle formed between the longitudinal axis of
the AT and the axis formed by three visually identifiable soleus muscle striations on
each image. Images were analysed using a MatLab program. Student t-tests were
performed.
RESULTS: Similar absolute (7.4±1.3cm vs 7.0±1.6cm; p=0.48) and relative (15.9±3.1% vs
16.0±3.4%; p=0.47) AT length, and similar soleus muscle fibers insertion angles onto
the AT (13.3±2.7° vs 13.3±3.4°; p=0.96), were measured between persons with
symptoms of AT tendinopathy and healthy controls, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS: AT length and soleus muscle fiber insertion angles onto the AT do not
solely contribute to the pathomechanics of AT tendinopathy. Others factors, such as
passive extensibility of the AT or foot biomechanics, may need to be considered.

The use of platelet-rich plasma is actually applied in many clinical fields but there is still
a lack of data when considering the biological mechanism at the basis of platelet-rich
plasma activity during the muscle healing process.
The aim of the study was to analyze the early effects of platelet-rich plasma on a
standardized animal model and to verify whether its local administration can induce a
systemic effect on contralateral injured muscles.
Material and methods. The lesion was performed by scalpel on the right arm from the
elbow region to the wrist in order to access the flexor sublimis muscles. Platelet Rich
plasma was administered immediately after lesion.
Treated, untreated and
contralateral muscles were paraffin embedded and analyzed with light microscopy.
Morfoquantitative analysis were performed on sections stained with hematoxylin
eosin and analyzed with a digital camera DM4000B DFC320 and software for
processing images IM50 (Leica Microsystems, Wetzlar, Germany). The muscle analysis
was tested by Western Blot assay, Immunohistochemistry and confocal laser
microscopy.
Results. The results of the present study showed that platelet rich plasma treatment
magnified the physiological early inflammatory response following a muscle injury,
modifying the pattern of cellular recruitment. Moreover, the local treatment
generated a systemic effect.
Conclusion. It has been clearly demonstrated that local platelet rich plasma treatment
may exert, directly or, more plausibly, indirectly, a systemic effect when healing
processes are concerned, at least limited to the very first inflammatory phases.

AIM: to investigate the impact of swimming two events (200 meter IM event and 200
meters butterfly) in one session regarding the National swimming competition
schedule of Egypt on blood lactate concentration and pH. Also, the impact of Ice
massage after each event.
METHODS: 20 competitive swimmers (National level) aged 17 ±1.56, weight 75±2.3
and height 177.21) performed (experimental I) 200 meter Individual medley. Five
minutes following this maximal effort, an ice massage has performed to the swimmers
to their shoulder and legs (3 minutes, 2minutes and 1 minute soft massage and one
minute rest interval between each massage) then completed by another 200 meters
but butterfly after 30 minutes of the first race. The same ice massage has been
performed. Blood sample has been collected to measure both blood lactate
concentration and pH pre-race, immediately after and after 30 minutes of each race.
The same group performed the same races, (experimental II), but without ice massage
in between the two races after 3days.
RESULTS: revealed significant increase (P< 0.01) in blood lactate levels and decreased
pH immediately after exercise in both experimental (I and II), decreased significantly in
experimental I after 30minutes of the first race compared to the experimental II.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: It is concluded that ice massage may help recovery
from short maximal efforts or after perform one race followed by another race in one
swimming session within 30 minutes.

Ankle sprains constitute common injuries. The aim of this study was to compare the
effect of zinc paste elastic bandage with the elastic bandage in the reduction of pain
and acute edema of ankle sprains.
Fifty-six athletes, 18 to 41 years old, with severe acute ankle sprain were randomized
in two groups. All were treated with the PRICE protocol. Group A athletes (23) used
zinc paste elastic bandage for the first 3 days for compression. The athletes of the
group B (23) used elastic bandage. Three athletes were lost to follow up. We compared
the pain with the VAScale and the edema of the ankle joint with the figure of eight
method and with a volumetric method at arrival, at the third and at the tenth
posttraumatic day between the two groups.
The two groups had no significant differences concerning their baseline values
(p>0,05). The ankle joint edema was decreased significantly in both groups at the third
day (p<0,01) and at the tenth day (p<0,001). The edema was more in the group B than
in group A at the third and tenth posttraumatic day (p<0,05). The pain level was
decreased more in group A patients the third posttraumatic day (p<0,05), but it was
not significant different between groups the tenth posttraumatic day (p>0,05).
Zinc paste elastic bandage had better effect on pain reduction of ankle joint sprains the
third posttraumatic day. Also acute ankle edema and pain was more in patients who
were not treated with zinc paste elastic bandage.

OBJECTIVE: With increasing leisure time and the growing interest in sports, there has
been an increase in sports injuries, with a significant increase in traumas of the
maxillofacial skeleton.
The objective of this study is to establish a correlation between the major sports and
the incidence and location of injury to the maxillofacial honeycomb.
METHODS: To achieve proper knowledge in this subject, several studies on various
types of sporting activities both competitive and amateur level have been evaluated
and compared to data collected from our Department.
RESULTS: Although in terms of incidence the main cause of maxillofacial injuries are
related with car and motorcycle accidents (48.5%), followed by household accidents
(28.2%), work accidents (16.4%) and violent acts, was reported that 3-18% of all
maxillofacial fractures are caused by the practice of training and sports games.
CONCLUSIONS: Our experience, compared with data reported in literature, confirms,
in principle, the prevalence in Italy of football among the activities that cause major
facial trauma of the district.

Objective: Estimate and compare the prevalence of rotator cuff pathology in elite
volleyball players of 3 different generations (active and ex-players) and correlate
clinical examination with the changes observed with ultrasonography and power
doppler (US + PD).
Designs and Methods: Forty Five volleyball players, with national team
representations, were selected to perform a clinical and an imaging evaluation.
The younger group with mean age of 17 years and 5 years average of volleyball
competition, the intermediate group with mean age of 24,25 years and 13,25 years
average volleyball competition and the group with former players with mean age of 49
years and 16,5 years average of volleyball competition.
Results: 45 athletes performed shoulders evaluation in both arms.
Rotator cuff tendinopathy was prevalent at the second and third generations.
Almost all the players present imaging changes at the dominant arm, even at the
younger generation.
All players with Jobe test painful had structural and vascular changes on US + PD.
The most present finding at the US was the presence of indirect signs of
posterior-superior impingement.
Conclusions: Our study confirms that shoulder lesion is a frequent finding in high level
volleyball athletes caused by overuse.
US + PD have good accuracy (with high sensibility) in confirming clinical diagnosis of
rotator cuff tendinopathy.
This study also suggests that US findings of posterior-superior shoulder impingement
don´t have direct clinical correlation.
The results show that the structural changes of the shoulder start even at the younger
ages.

The aim of the study was the interrelation of the level neurospecific autoantibodies
and apolipoprotein e4 in boxers to predict the effects of repeated mild traumatic
brain injury (TBI).
Materials and methods. We examined 40 amateur boxers high skill level from age 18
to 29 years, playing a boxing classes ranging between 7 to 14 years. During a sports
career boxers underwent TBI in the form knockdown and knockouts in number from 1
to 10. Boxers are divided into four groups (10 people in each) depending on the
presence of apolipoprotein e4, changes according to MRI of the brain and neurological
status. The control group consisted of 15 persons of appropriate age who had no
history of transferred brain injury. The study level neurospecific autoantibodies and
apolipoprotein e4 in serum boxers from repeated mild TBI.
Results. The largest increase in neurospecific autoantibodies were in a group of boxers
to the presence of apolipoprotein e4, changes to brain according MRI and neurologic
symptoms. The lowest level fluctuations neurospecific autoantibodies occurred in the
group of boxers to the absence of apolipoprotein e4, changes according to the MRI
and neurological symptoms. Using the methods of multicomponent assessment of
various autoantibodies can detect and analyze morphostructural changes occurring in
the subject long before clinical manifestation of disease.
Conclusions. Conduct genetic testing (apolipoprotein e4), determine the level of
neurospecific autoantibodies will enable to identify risk and prevent the development
of neurological complications after past TBI.

findings of OA (grade II-IV of K-L) undewent to US-guided VS with 4 ml of high-weight
hyaluronic acid (Hyalubrix) each 30 days for 3 months .Each patient was evaluated at
baseline, at 1,3,6 and 12 months using VAS and Oxford scores. Patients were stratified
according effects of treatment: a group in which the treatment provided a relevant
improvement (Oxford score increase > 10 pt and/or VAS reduction > 3) and a group
with a poor results (Oxford score increase < 10 pt and/or VAS reduction < 3). Then,
radiographs findings of each patients were searched for signs of FAI (acetabular
retroversion, roundness of the femoral head, ossification of the acetabular labrum).
Chi square statistics were used.
Results: A good symptoms improvement was found in 281/352 (79.8%) patients, while
71/352 (20.2%) experienced poor results. Radiographic signs of FAI were
retrospectively identified in 37/281(11.4%) patients who experienced good symptoms
improvement and in 43/71 (60.5%) who experienced poor results (P<.001).
Conclusion: Although VS is an effective treatment for OA symptoms, the retrospective
assessment of the radiological data showed a significant increase of FAI prevalence in
patients who experience poor therapeutic response.

AIM OF THE STUDY
We studied several athletes with dorso lumbar pain using
ultrasound investigation and MRI scanner with a 1.5-T superconducting magnet.
When the MRI doesn't detect musculoskeletal alterations, ultrasonographyy allows the
investigation of abdominal organs.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We've used ultrasound by high multifrequencial
convex probe 3.5 MHz . The ultrasound exam has accidentally shown nephrolithiasis in
athlets with a high-protein diet. The tecnique allows to study the kidney parenchimal
tissue, the ureters proximal and distal part and bladder possible alterations.
RESULTS
In some cases dorso lumbar pain without musculoskeletal alterations was due to a
renal colic. We’ve completed our examination by URO TC for the morphological and
functional study of the urinary apparatus.
CONCLUSIONS
In high level professional athletes the cause of dorsolumbar pain in absence of
musculoskeletal alterations could be due to nephrolithiasis. It's possible that
high-protein diet in athletes and nephrolithiasis are correlated.

AIM OF THE STUDY
Aim of the study is to evaluate the reason for groin pain in young athletes.
We performed X-Ray hip, ultrasound by using high multifrequencial sectorial probe
17 .5 - 15 MHz and MRI 1,5 T superconducting magnet to study anatomical structure
of the groin region.
The diagnosis of chronic groin pain needs a patho-anatomical approach and knowledge
of the groin region. Abdominal and pelvic muscles and the pubic synphysisis should be
studied in case of pelvic injuries.
RESULTS
We refer about our experience with athletes with groin pain. The groin region is used
to localize the pathology to a specific area and it allows the differential diagnosis
between pubic bone stress injury, adductor pathology, femoral-acetabular one,
ileopsoas muscle pathology and intra-abdominal one.
CONCLUSIONS
This study suggests a new way of proceeding to find the causes of chronic groin pains
through history of the patient, specific diagnostic procedures and directed
investigations (US, XRAY and MR).

Body
Our purpose is to demonstrate a rare entity, the combined ipsilateral talar and
calcaneal fractures in an athlete, when the need to return to play quickly is high
priority.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
Motocross racer suffered foot injury during practice. Clinical and radiological tests
identified combined ipsilateral talar and calcaneal fractures. Closed reduction and
internal srcew fixation was performed. Our main objective was to shorten recovery
and get the athlete back to the racetracks as quickly as possible. Initially, the patient's
foot and ankle were kept in a well-padded posterior splint that maintains the foot in a
neutral position during the first 6 days. After 10 days the ankle joint was stressed
through range-of-motion exercises, as soft tissues allowed. Six weeks after surgery
complex physiotherapy was supplemented with subaquatic exercise along with
progressive increase of weight bearing loads. Normal body weight load was restricted.
CT and radiography were taken following surgery and after 6, 12 and 26 weeks.
AOFAS-Hindfoot Score was used for evaluation.
RESULTS:
12 weeks after surgery range of movements and physical load were fully recovered.
Patient started reduced training and continued carrying out proprioceptive exercises.
Total physical activity was back 4 months after surgery. Regularly evaluated functional
tests illustrate stages of treatment and recovery.
CONCLUSION:
In these cases conventional postoperative treatment recommendations propose at
least 12 weeks of total load restriction. In this special situation, we had to revise these
guidelines under tight control. Final results were satisfactory for both the patient and
the medical team.

Objective: To observe the prevalence of ocular injuries in a large population of boxers
over a period of 5 years and to assess if there is a correlation with age, weight,
professional and amateur practice.
Design and Methods: 694 athletes (average age 24 ± 6) were recruited. All of them
underwent ophthalmologic evaluation during the pre participation screening.
Results: A quite relevant prevalence of peripheral retinal degeneration (7%) and a
prevalence of 4% of blepharitis, corneal disease, conjunctival diseases, and pinguecola
was observed. We didn’t find statistically significant correlation among the presence
of pathologies vs age, weight, professional and amateur boxing but we observed an
increased occurrence of retinal degeneration in older amateurs.
Conclusions: We cannot establish a direct correlation between boxing and ocular
injuries, but we must underline the necessity of a thorough examination of the fundus
oculi, including the peripheral retina and the posterior pole in order to exclude
boxing-related worsening of peripheral retinal degenerations, causing retinal
detachment.

AIM.Beach-Volleyball is an outdoor sport, strictly related to weather conditions
(temperature, humidity, sun) with possible occurrence of dehydration. Aim of the
study is to assess the entity of dehydration.
METHODS.Anthropometrical characteristics were collected from 25 Beach-Volleyball
players (11 males), who voluntarily participated to the study. Bioelectrical impedance
analysis was carried out in the morning and after the last match of the day. Fluid intake
during competition (ad libitum), number of sets played, ranking position and
occurrence of clinical signs of dehydration were recorded.
RESULTS.Athletes ranked from 1st to 29th (Italian ranking). Mean±SD of age, height,
weight were 28.4±4.7ys, 191.9±0.1 cm and 87.0±8.6 kg respectively for males, and
31±4.4ys, 172.4±0.1 cm and 66.0±5.6 kg for females. Fluid intake ranged from 2 to 8 lt.
Body weight decreased of -0.45±0.49 kg in males and -0.21±0.70 kg in females (not
statistically significant). Significant (p<0.05) correlation was found between: fluid
intake vs number of sets played (r=0.566), body weight change minus fluid intake (raw
marker of dehydration) vs number of played sets (r=-0.51), fat mass vs ranking position
(r=0.55) and fat free mass vs ranking position (r=-0.55). One female athlete, initially
complaining of cramps, had a heat stroke after having played 7 sets with body weight
decreasing of 0.7 kg (1.3%) and total body water of 1 lt (2.8%).
CONCLUSION.Our study shows the importance of rehydration during a
Beach-Volleyball tournament. The less rehydrated athletes were those who played the
lower number of sets. Moreover, athletes with higher free fat mass had higher ranking
position.

Objective
The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the stability of athletes with multiple
ankle sprains and healthy athletes with the means of stabilomentry.
Design and Method
Thirty-two amateur male athletes (mean age of 28.3 years SD = 4.7 years) were
enrolled in the trail; 16 with history of multiple ankle sprains (study group) and 16
healthy individuals (control group). We evaluated athletes balance with the means of
an Electronic podometer (Modular Electronic Baropodometer), using Single leg Balance
test with open and closed eyes as well as Jump Landing Test. The investigator was
blinded to the athlete's previous ankle injury status.
Results:
Single leg Balance test with open eyes: The study group differed significantly in
postural sway in the sagittal and mediolateral plane (p=0.015). Significant difference
was also depicted when the area of the footprint was compared (p = 0,012). Single leg
Balance test with closed eyes: The study group differed significantly when time to
achieve balance was taken into consideration (p= 0.006). Significant difference was
also depicted when the area of the footprint was compared (p = 0.011). Postural sway
velocity in the sagittal and coronal plane was also different statistically between the 2
groups (p = 0.003), and p = 0.004 respectively). Single leg Jump Landing Test: The study
group differed significantly in postural sway velocity in the sagittal and coronal plane
(p=0.005 and p = 0.02 respectively).
Conclusions:
In conclusion, athletes with multiple ankle sprains showed decreased balance
performance compared to healthy athletes.

Purpose: Some studies have shown that subjects who practice endurance sports are at
approximately five times higher risk of lone atrial fibrillation (LAF) than those who are
sedentary. The aim of present study was to determine if this increased risk concerns
also subjects practicing diving.
Methods: A group of 242 divers and a population-based sample of 244 sedentary
men and women recruited in 1997–1998, were contacted in 2007–08 and invited to
attend an outpatient clinic to identify suggestive symptoms of having experienced an
arrhythmia requiring medical attention. In those with suggestive symptoms of atrial
fibrillation (AF), medical records were reviewed. Finally, LAF was diagnosed on the
basis of the presence of AF in an electrocardiographic recording. An echocardiogram
was performed at inclusion and at the end of the study. The follow up lasted 10 +/- 0.7
years.
Results: Forty divers and forty two controls dropped out during follow up. In the
residual the annual incidence rate of LAF among divers and sedentary men was 0.33%
and 0.12%, respectively. In 75% of the divers were detected increased right atrial
diameters (RAD), and in 5% was detected also an increased left atrial inferosuperior diameter (LAISD). In this last group the LAF incidence was little higher (0.44%)
than in divers with isolated increase of the RAD.
.
Conclusion: subjects who practice diving are at approximately three times higher risk
of symptomatic LAF than those who are sedentary, and this risk increase to four
times more in divers with increased LAISD.

Aim of the study: To record osteometric data around the coracoclavicular ligament
origin, both on the clavicle and scapula, which are useful for the anatomic
coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction.
Materials and Methods: One hundred forty (70 paired) dried clavicles and matching
scapulae (46-96 years old) were analyzed. Differences related to left/right side and sex
were examined using SPSS.
Results: The mean anteroposterior (AP) diameter of the clavicle at the conoid tubercle
was 1.73±0.27cm. The distance between the clavicle acromial edge and the most
medial point of the conoid tuberosity was 4.08±0.50cm. The distance between the
clavicle acromial edge and the most lateral point of the trapezoid line was
1.30±0.56cm. The height of the vertical part of the coracoid process was 1.42±0.16cm.
The AP width of the coracoid at the margin between its vertical and horizontal part
was 1.36±0.20cm. The transverse length at the base of the coracoid process was
2.56±0.25 cm. No significant differences were observed between left and right side.
Gender differences were significant (p<0.05) in all measurements except the distance
between the clavicle acromial edge and the most lateral point of the trapezoid line
(p=0.45).
Conclusions: Knowledge of the presented anatomic data could help the surgeon to
correctly create bone tunnels and apply the appropriate graft size during the anatomic
coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction.

PURPOSE - Determine the return to sports of athletes after arthroscopic stabilization of
shoulder instability (first time and recurrent).
MATERIALS AND METHODS - Retrospective search of athletes with shoulder instability
that received arthroscopic stabilization from March 2008 to February 2011.
Fifteen patients were enrolled, 14 males (93%) and 1 female (7%).
Inclusion criteria: non-professional athletes, first-time dislocation or recurrent
shoulder instability, rehabilitation protocol completed, at least 12 months of
postoperative evolution.
Exclusion criteria: previous surgeries, bone defects that contraindicate the
arthroscopic stabilization, humeral avulsion of the glenohumeral ligaments.
Evaluation methods: anamnesis, Rowe Score and WOSI Index.
RESULTS - Mean follow-up: 27 months (range, 12 to 47 months).
86,7% (n=13) of the patients could return to sports: 66,7% being able to return to their
previous sport activity level (Rowe Score 79 and WOSI Index 73%), 13,3% changed of
sport but maintained the level (Rowe Score 95 and WOSI Index 85%) and 6,7% return
to their sport but in a lower pre-injury level (Rowe Score 45 and WOSI Index 56%).
13,3% (2 athletes) did not return to sports with a Rowe Score average of 72 (range 65
to 80) and WOSI Index average of 66% (range 45% to 87%).
We found 2 cases (13,3%) of recurrence after arthroscopic stabilization; one of them
returned to his sport but in a lower level, and the other one abandoned sports.
CONCLUSIONS - The return to sports was possible in the 86,7%.
We did not find a strong correlation between the tools used to measure patient
outcome postoperatively (Rowe Score and WOSI Index) and the return to their
previous sports activity level.

Introduction - To establish the feasibility of studying the impact of hydrotherapy on
pressure pain threshold, cancer related fatigue and adiposity in breast cancer survivor
suffering hormone therapy associated arthralgia (HTAA).
Methods - Design: Single-blind, controlled pilot trial. Setting: Two major metropolitan
hospitals and a Sport & Spa Club in Granada, Spain. Subjets: Forty women aged 29-71
years with stage I to III breast cancer who reported HTAA admitted to a hydrotherapy
programme.
Intervention - Patients were allocated to either hydrotherapy treatment or usual care.
The 2-month hydrotherapy intervention consisted of 24 sessions 3 days per week. Each
session included 5 minutes of warm-up, 15-20 minutes of aerobic exercise, 15 minutes
of mobility exercise, and 20 minutes of recovery techniques.
Main measures - Pressure pain threshold at neck, shoulder, hand and leg were
evaluated as primary outcomes. Fatigue related cancer, as measured by the Piper
Fatigue Scale (PFS); adiposity as measured by body mass index and waist
circumference were secondary outcomes.
Results - Neither adverse events nor development of worsening of pain or
lymphedema were observed. Almost all the participants in the intervention group
(89%) adhered to the hydrotherapy program. Participants experienced significant
improvement in pressure pain threshold measured in neck, hand, shoulder and leg, as
measured by algometry pressure, and waist circumference; all P < .05. Fatigue related
cancer and body mass index did not experience significant improvement.
Discussion - Preliminary data suggest that hydrotherapy in chest-high pool may reduce
pain andadiposity in breast cancer survivors with HTAA. Finally, an application of
tele-rehabilitation based on the results of this study will be presented.

Introduction - Whether the handgrip strength test (HGS) can be used as an indicator of
fatigue, pain and quality of life in breast cancer survivors (BCS) remains to be
elucidated. The aim of the study was to examine the relationship of HGS with pain,
fitness, fatigue and mood in BCS.
Methods - The present cross-sectional study comprised ninety-five breast cancer
survivors. HGS, heart rate variability (HRV), pressure pain threshold (PPT) of neck,
shoulder, hand and tibia of affected side and fitness level (6-min walk test,
neck-shoulder mobility, vertical jump, sit-to-stand test, trunk curl test) was measured.
Participants completed the Fatigue Piper Scale (FPS) and profile of mood state (POMS)
questionnaires and the neck-shoulder visual analogue scale. Correlation and multiple
lineal regression analysis were conducted to examine the relationship of HGS with
pain, fitness, fatigue and mood.
Results - We observed a fair relationship of HGS with shoulder pain and a
moderate-to-fair relationship with fitness (all-P<0.01). The relationship between HGS
and HRV (high-frequency domain) was weak (P=0.049). Likewise, the relationship
between HGS and POMS subscales ranged between weak-to-fair (all-P<0.001). HGS
showed a weak relationship with FPS (all-P<0.01). Passive shoulder flexion, fatigue and
vertical jump were independent and significant predictors of HGS (P<0.01, R2=0.466).
Discussion - These results suggest that the HGS test is an important correlate of health
in BCS. These findings may help to better understand the usefulness of HGS as a
measure of function to consider when planning the assessment, treatment and
monitoring of BCS. Finally, an application of tele-rehabilitation based on This study will
be presented.

To evaluate the effects of sports upon the blood pressure levels related to blood
pressure responses to exercise (BPR), 212 normotensive (N) adolescents (162 males)
between 14 and 17 years of age were checked (follow-up 6.3±1.4 years).
Those adolescents who showed systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure, in
accordance to Fourth Report on the Diagnosis, Evaluation, and Treatment of High
Blood pressure in Children and Adolescents were considered normotensive.
Exaggerated blood pressure response during exercise (EBPR ) was reported when the
levels of SBP and/or DBP during maximal bicycle ergometer exercise testing (ET))
were superior to 95th percentile, relative to the year group and gender , as published
in a personal contribution
Out of the 116 adolescents who practiced sport (S), 82 showed normal levels (S-NBPR)
and 34 showed too high levels (S-EBPR) in response to ET.
Out of the 96 adolescents who had not practiced any sports (NS), 77 showed normal
levels (NS-NBPR ) and 19 showed exaggerated levels (NS-EBPR ).
At the end of the follow-up, 4 adolescents (21%) were not normotensive , 3
hypertensive (H) and 1 pre-hypertensive
(PH) amongst NS-EBPR; 13 (17%)
were PH amongst NS-NBPR ;
4 (12%) were not normotensive, 1 H, 3 PH amongst
S-EBPR; 8 (10%) were PH amongst S-NBPR.
Even amongst the adolescents, the enable to identify a high-risk group of people for
whom regular sports activity can help both to reduce the levels of physiological blood
pressure increasing with age and prevent the development of hypertension.

OBJECTIVE
The metabolic syndrome is characterized by visceral obesity, dyslipidaemia, impaired
glucose metabolism and hypertension, causing a 2-3 times increased risk to develop
cardiovascular disease or diabetes, and affecting about 20% of population. We aim at
evaluating the positive effects of personalized physical training based on metabolic
parameters derived from a cardio-pulmonary exercise test.
DESIGN AND METHOD
10 patients with metabolic syndrome were analysed. A cycle ergometer was used to
perform an incremental working test until reaching anaerobic threshold. After 1 hour
of rest, every subject performed a 6 minutes constant-load exercise at workload
corresponding to 90% of that measured at ventilatory threshold, allowing the analysis
of the VO2 kinetics of adaptation to derive the time constant τ.
We propose the ventilatory anaerobic threshold for prescription of personalized of
aerobic exercise program (40 minutes session, 3 times a week, work intensity
corresponding to 90% of anaerobic threshold). After 8 months each subject underwent
the same functional evaluation performed at time 0.
RESULTS
After 8 months of training, peak power output increased (118 ±11 to 136±10 Watt), as
well as the anaerobic ventilatory threshold and the corresponding heart rate (110±5 to
120±4); τ decreased significantly from 50.6±3.2 to 43.2±3.1 seconds. Finally, a decrease
in perceived exertion (Borg scale) was found.
CONCLUSIONS
These results suggest that a correct training program based on a specific functional
evaluation in patients with metabolic syndrome improve the efficiency of the exercise
as well as the velocity of metabolic adaptation to increased energy expenditure.

BACKGROUND: Solid organ transplant recipients (SOTR) show a long-term high risk of
cardiovascular (CV) events due to the effects of underlying disease causing
transplantation, anti-rejection drugs and sedentary lifestyle. Regular physical exercise
(PE) can reduce CV risk and improve survival and quality of life. The aim of the study is
to confirm that supervised PE helps to improve general condition in SOTR and to
evaluate an organizational model to permit out of hospital safe training.
METHODS: Sedentary adult SOTR are referred to Sport Medicine Units where are
submitted to: maximal cardiopulmonary exercise and muscles strength tests, body
composition analysis, quality of life questionnaire. A personalized prescription, aerobic
exercise and strength training at least 3 times a week, is planned for each patient. A
re-evaluation is performed after 6 and 12 months of supervised training in certified
fitness facilities. RESULTS:14 of 43 SOTR selected by transplant centers have been
excluded after evaluation tests (8 for CV, 3 for metabolic and 3 for orthopedic causes);
29 were enrolled for supervised training program. Basal evaluation showed: 6 liver, 23
kidney SOTR; age 48±10yrs; 2.5±1.4yrs from transplantation; fat mass 21±9%; maximal
workload on exercise test 98±34 W, VO2 peak 22.4±7.2 ml/kg/min. After a mean
follow-up period of 5 months there were no significant adverse events related to
exercise and patient compliance is 93%. CONCLUSIONS: Coronary artery disease is
prevalent in this population and maximal exercise test should be mandatory for all
SOTR; supervised PE training appear to be an useful, safe and well-accepted
intervention.

Objective: Recent recommendations for exercise training in adults include resistance
training components. This trial evaluated the effects of low frequency short duration
moderate resistance training on cardiovascular fitness in untrained elderly.
Design and Methods: 20 older adults (72±4 years) were randomly allocated to
experimental (N=10) and to control group (N=10). The study group exercised 2 times
per week for 3 months (resistance training with incremental load up to 70% of 1
repetition maximum). Pre and post training maximal stress test was performed to
evaluate cardiovascular parameters.
Results: The training protocol resulted in a reduction by 7 mmHg (p=0,01) of resting
systolic blood pressure and by 6,5 mmHg (p=0,04) of maximal diastolic blood pressure,
an increase of 15% in both maximal exercise time and maximal work load (p=0,01).
METs increased of 12% (p=0,02). At 1 minute after maximal test, heart rate recovery
increased of 26% (p=0,02). No significant changes occurred in the control group.
Conclusions: Moderate resistance training improved cardiovascular fitness and
exercise capacity and reduced some cardiovascular risk factors.

Introduction and objective - The term Neuroacanthocytosis describes a heterogeneous
group of molecularly-defined disorders which result in progressive neurodegeneration,
predominantly of the basal ganglia and erythrocyte acanthocytosis, their pathogenesis
is still unknown. The clinical presentation of neuroacanthocytosis syndromes typically
involves chorea and dystonia. The aim of the present study was to investigate the
ambulatory functionality and the importance of physical activity in a subject with
neuroacanthocytosis syndrome, and its relationship to static-dynamic balance and
postural control.
Material and methods - Prospective, longitudinal and descriptive study. A male patient
with neuroacanthocytosis syndrome and degree of disability 50 in functional scale
MYERS was studied. The following tests were performed: Timed Up and Go (TUG);
hand-grip strength; Berg Balance Scale (BBS); 10 Meter Agility Shuttle Test (MAST); and
exercise tolerance the 6-Minute Walk. Also Borg Perceived Exertion and Fatigue
Severity Scale (FSS) were used. The supervised intervention had duration of 6 weeks,
with a frequency of 2 days per week with training session of 45 minutes in treadmill.
Results - The results of this study suggest a significant improvement in 10MAST (1.250
seconds), TUG (1.800 seconds), exercise tolerance (56 meters in 6MWT), static
strength (near to 10 % in the upper extremity) and static-dynamic balance (BBS 42-48).
Conclusion - The results of this study suggest that an aerobic exercise program of 6
weeks have significant influence on improvement of static and dynamic balance, and
on increasing muscular strength in a patient with Neuroacanthocytosis. Not appear
have an important influence in exercise tolerance.

Introduction and objective - Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disease
mainly characterised by the production and accumulation of viscous mucus, which
generally affects the respiratory system, resulting in a decrease in the lung function
reserve and effort capacity. To this effect, a supervised physical exercise (SPE)
programme was developed, with the aim of determining its effect on the different
effort parameters, cardiorespiratory fitness and body composition, in adult CF
patients.
Materials and methods - Twelve subjects took part: 8 men and 4 women (mean age:
23±6.28 years; FEV160.01%pred.). Information was recorded for the maximum oxygen
consumption (VO2max), peak expiratory flow (PEF), muscular strength and body
composition. The programme lasted 8 weeks, with an aerobic capacity volume of ± 60
min/week, building it up to ± 90 min/week and an intensity of 45-60% of the heart rate
reserve (HRR). As for the muscular strength training, this started at 10 min/week
increasing to the 30 min/week, combining dynamic, reactive and isometric methods.
Results - The preliminary information obtained showed a significant improvement in
the static strength, about 10% in the upper limbs and 20% in the strength resistance in
the lower limbs. A moderate increase was observed in the VO2max and the PEF. There
were no significant changes in the percentage fat mass.
Conclusion - The results obtained would suggest that a domiciliary SPE program might
improve the functional capacity by increasing muscular strength, lung function and
cardiorespiratory fitness in adult CF patients.

Physical acticity is an important factor in prevention of hypertension, principally in
genetically predisposed patients. Aim of study was to examine differences between
normotonic patients with postive and negativ family background for hypertension at
different levels of exercise. We searched for increased sympathetic activity in H+
patients.
We examined 1680 patients (612 with (H+), 1068 without (H-) hypertensive family
background) at 6 different levels of physical activity with physical examination, family
history and echocardiography. 2D-Doppler-TDI images were taken to determine the
lenghts of the heart cycles, and show exercise-adaptation.
There was no difference in blood pressure of the athletes of different level of physical
activity. Top H- athletes had lower systolic blood pressure and longer systole,
isovolumetric relaxation time and E-Acclereation time. In national 1st and 2nd class
atheletes there were no differences in the length of heart cycles. H+ leisure time
athletes had higher diastolic pressure, shorter left ventricle ejection time, and lower
E/A. Mild physical activity results in lower mean arterial pressure and longer diastole
when family background is negativ. When no physical activity is present, there were no
differences between the two groups.
Characteristics of the athlete's heart seems to be more prominent when the family
background is free of hypertension. Differences between the 2 groups at different
levels of physical activity show the importance of the genetic background in
developing hypertension, and the usefullness of physical activity in maintaining
optimal blood pressure and compensating the increased sympathetic activity with
increased parasympathetic activity as a result of longterm sport.

Introductions - The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of 3 months of
prescribed physical exercise on mental states, quality of life and side effects of drugs
on individuals with schizophrenia.
Methods - Pilot study involved 10 patients. For one group (5 patients) we made
individual, three months program, of physical activity (4 times per week). Target heart
rates (HR) were controlled by Polar F4 monitors (65-75% of maxHR). We had control
group (5 not exercised patients). There were no personal differences between groups.
Functional ability (VO2max) has been obtained by ergospirometric test on a treadmill.
Mental state data were collected by using Positive and Negative Symptoms Scale
(PANSS) and World Health Organization Quality of life Scale (WHOQOL-BREF). Side
effects of drugs were measured by Clinical Global Impession Scale (CGI).
Results - Patients in exercise group showed significantly increases of VO2max
(p=0,005), and significantly higher level of VO2 max compared to the control group
(p=0,029). The results showed significant difference between two groups in scores on
PANSS (p=0,048) and WHOQOL-BREF Scale (p=0,036). CGI score was significantly
higher in exercise group (p=0,038), which means that index of treatment efficacy was
better in subjects who exercised.
Discussion - Prescribed physical exercise improves aerobic capacity. It’s effective
adjunct treatment for patients with schizophrenia (effective for decreasing psychiatric
symptoms and side effects of drugs, and for increasing quality of life in people with
schizophrenia). These are just a preliminary results, and total number of patients will
be much bigger at the end of study.

Objective - Several studies support, during menopause, an impact of endogenous sex
hormone levels on thrombotic potential parameters. Fibrinogen plays several key roles
in the maintenance of hemostasis and its levels seem to be a marker or mediator of
CVD. The aim of our study was to assess the role of intensity of physical activity on
fibrinogen levels in post-menopause women.
Design and Methods - Forty-five post-menopausal (57.88±5.15) non-obese healthy
women without history of physical exercise and pharmacological treatment were
recruited. Expert researchers assessed anthropometry, blood samples and weekly
physical activity of participants. After 12 hour overnight fasting body composition were
assessed by Electrical Bioimpedance (BIA) Tanita BC-418. Fibrinogen concentration
(mg/dl) in plasma was measured with Human Fibrinogen ELISA quantification kit.
Physical activity characteristics and mean intensity of daily physical activities (METs)
assessed by SenseWear Pro 3 Armband.
Results - Cluster analysis on basal values of Fibrinogen showed the presence of two
sub-groups: Group+ (n=18) and Group- (n=27). Group- (339.48±29 mg/dl) showed
higher Fibrinogen values respect to Group+ (263.33±26 mg/dl). Student’s t-Test
evidentiated that sub-groups were significantly different in (METs) (p=0.05), Waist
Circumference (WC) (p=0.003), Waist to Hip ratio (W/H) (p=0.027) and Body Mass
Index (BMI) (p=0.05) Logistic regression, showed that METs was the only significant
predictor of sub-group membership (p=0.013)
Conclusion - In post-menopause, METs has a relationship with Fibrinogen plasma
level. Beneficial effects of physical exercise on the prognosis are undoubtedly
attributable to several factors even if spontaneous physical activity could be the first
step to oppose high fibrinogen plasma level after menopause.

Here we present the effect of 12wk of combined endurance (EST) and resistance (RST)
and NS program in a single case study of male young (28y) facioscapulohumeral
dystrophy (FSHD) patient scored 0 according to recently standardized FSHD clinical
score (Lamberti 2010, Muscle and Nerve 42:213-217). Clinically the patient suffered
from weakness and atrophy predominantly of the right scapular girdle. Initially, the
oxygen consumption per unit time (VO2) and the VO2max were calculated by indirect
calorimetry and Bruce treadmill test. 1 RM of muscular districts was calculated by
force-velocity curves obtained during unilateral arm curl, arm abduction, leg extension
and bilateral triceps extension. To adjust NS to fat free mass (FFM), body composition
was analyzed by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Moderate EST was set up to
75% VO2max (treadmill, 1% inclination, 3 times/wk from 15 to 45 min) and up to 55%
of 1RM for the muscular district considered (3 series, 8 repetitions). RST was set up to
75% of 1RM for each muscular district (2 times/wk, 3 series of 10 repetitions). NS
included a balanced essential amino acids mixture (daily 0.1 gr/kg FFM), conjugated
linoleic acid (CLA, 2.4gr) combined with creatine monohydrate (0.1 gr/kg FFM) the day
of RST. As the combined protocol is ongoing it will be shortly evaluated by the analysis
of VO2 and muscle workload. Creatine kinase and indexes of liver and kidney
functionality will be measured. The study will give indications on safety and efficacy of
ST and NS in a case of initial FSHD.

BACKGROUND - There are no univocal indications about training program to be
prescribed to COPD patients. The effects of training programs in COPD patients remain
to be investigated.
OBJECTIVE - To evaluate the effects of a training program 16 weeks lasting
(endurance+strength) on cardiovascular (basal and under effort heart rate, systolic and
diastolic arterial pressures) and respiratory parameters (FVC%, FEV1%, FEV1/FVC%),
exercise capacity (V'O2 peak), muscle strength (quadriceps femori MVC) and functional
exercise capacity.
METHODS - COPD patients underwent 3 sessions per week for 16 weeks. As upper
intensity training limits were considered 40-50% heart rate reserve and 50% 1RM.
Before and after training program, patients underwent: clinical assessment, respiratory
functionality tests, maximal cardiopulmonary test. MVC and functional exercise
capacity (6 min walk test, repeated chair stands and timed up and go test) were
assessed.
RESULTS - Twelve patients (6M/6F; age 77±5 y; FEV1 58 ± 14% of predicted) completed
the training program. Apart maximal diastolic arterial pressure significant
improvement (89±10 vs 85±12 mmHg, p=0,03), the other cardiovascular and
respiratory parameters showed a trend toward improvement. Quadriceps femori MVC,
6 min walk test, repeated chair stands and timed up and go test significantly improved
(17±6 vs 21±5 kg, p < 0,001; 382±54 vs 424±45 m, p=0,02; 14±2 vs 10±2 s, p < 0,001;
8,6±1 vs 6,2±1 s, p < 0,001 respectively).
CONCLUSIONS - The significant improvement of only one among the cardiovascular
parameters, of muscle strength and functional exercise capacity suggest that the
training program had its main effect on muscle strength.

AIM OF THE STUDY: To determine reliability and minimal detectable changes (MDC) of
Achilles tendon (AT) length and soleus fiber insertion angle obtained by quantitative
musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging.
MATERIALS & METHODS: A physiatrist and a physiotherapist captured ultrasound
images of AT length and soleus fiber insertions among persons with clinical symptoms
of Achilles tendinopathy (N=14) and healthy controls (N=14). Each examiner
captured three images of overall AT length using reference marker placement and of
soleus fiber insertion into the AT. The AT length reflects the distance between the
distal part of its insertion on the calcaneus and the distal musculotendinous junction of
the soleus. The soleus muscle insertion angle reflects the mean angle formed between
the longitudinal axis of the AT and the axis formed by three identifiable soleus muscle
striations. The generalizability theory was applied to compute reliability using the
coefficient of dependability for a random study design protocol.
RESULTS: The AT length was 7.5±1.4cm (range:3.9-10.6cm) whereas the soleus fiber
insertion angle was 13.7°±4.9° (range:3.1-34.3°). Averaging the measures obtained
from three images taken by a single evaluator yielded reliability coefficients of 0.96
and 0.72 and relative MDCs of 8.6% and 51.0% for AT length and soleus fiber insertion
angle, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS: Reliable and precise AT length measures are obtained using
quantitative ultrasound imaging. Measures of the soleus fiber insertion angles, that
demonstrate poor reliability and precision, may be improved if images were recorded
under different conditions. Hence, using AT length as a measure in research protocol is
indicated.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the heart rate recovery as a parameter
to evaluate the improvement of exercise tolerance in heart patients undergoing
aerobic exercise, comparing it with the VO 2 peak and ventilatory anaerobic threshold.
Methods: We evaluated 20 patients (mean age 60 + -8) suffering from different heart
diseases (heart failure, coronary artery disease, which is revascularized whether
surgically or by angioplasty) by cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) before aerobic
training. We evaluated the VO2 peak, ventilatory anaerobic threshold and heart rate
recovery to first minute of recovery tests (such as 12 beats or less cut off for
pathology). The above patients were then subjected to 12 weeks of aerobic exercise
on the basis of the initial test cardiopulmonary. After 12 weeks of training, patients
were reassessed using the same type of test (CPET), and the heart rate recovery was
calculated at 1 min after the end of the test through the 12-lead ECG.
Results: The results suggest that there is a clear correlation between the increase of
the ventilatory anaerobic threshold and VO2 peak, compared to heart rate recovery
(15% after training)
Conclusions: which shows an improvement of exercise tolerance in heart patients
undergoing aerobic training , secondary to an adaptation to physical exercise and thus
changes the response of the autonomic nervous system.

Whole body cryostimulation (WBC) is increasingly often used to enhance the
resistance of the human body, also thanks the beneficial effect on the antioxidant
system. Accordingly, this research aimed to evaluate the effect of a series of
whole-body cryostimulations on the level of non-enzymatic antioxidants and the
activity of antioxidant enzymes in healthy men. The study was carried out on 30 young
and healthy men aged 27.8 years with average body mass index and peak oxygen
consumption (46.34 ml kg-¹ min-¹). The participants were exposed twenty times to
cryogenic temperatures (-130C). Blood samples were obtained in the morning before
cryostimulation, again 30 min after exposure and the following day in the morning,
during the 1st, 10th and 20th session. Analysis concerned changes in plasma
concentrations of total protein, albumin, glucose, uric acid and ceruloplasmin, and the
most important components of the antioxidant system in red blood cells: superoxide
dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, reduced and
oxidized glutathione. To access the oxidative stress level the 8-isoprostane
concentration in plasma was measured. The obtained results indicate that cryogenic
temperatures in repeated daily treatments result in changes in the prooxidant and
antioxidant status. These changes seem to depend on the number of cryostimulations.
After 20 daily treatments there was an increase in SOD, SOD:CAT ratio, a decrease in
the concentration of reduced and oxidized glutathione and in the activity of GPx.
Differences in the activity of GSSG-R after 20 treatments depended on the body mass
index of participants.

Background: although Exercise programs have been emphasized in promoting a
healthy lifestyle and treating chronic disease, lack of skills and knowledge of guidelines
are the main obstacles in appropriately exercise prescription.
As a reference, American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) issues Guidelines of
comprehensive exercise programs for healthy adults and chronic disease patients.
Professional exercise prescription software can help integrate all of Guidelines into a
simple plan that can be followed and adjusted as needed.
The main objective of this study was designing specific computer software for exercise
prescriptions based on ACSM Guidelines regarding to frequency, intensity, time and
type (FITT) in Parkinson, Multiple sclerosis, Epilepsy , Osteoporosis, Fibromyalgia ,
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome , Cancer , kidney Transplant , Obesity , Hyperlipidemia ,
Renal Failure , Diabetes , Asthma , COPD, Coronary Artery Bypass Graft , Angioplasty
and Myocardial Infarction to optimize specific kinds of exercise for most clinical
conditions.
Additionally computerized designing of exercise protocols for common
musculoskeletal injuries like Cervical strain , ACL injury, Lateral Epicondylitis,
Shoulder impingement , Piriformis syndrome and Low back pain have been structured.
Nine functional tables are considered for patient information, medical history,
laboratory test, screening and risk stratification based on Physical Activity Readiness
Questionnaire (PAR-Q), exercise test , exercise program, protocols, forms and history
.physicians can improve their skills and confidence of exercise prescription by using a
tailored exercise software .Future study should determine the impact of using this
program with enhancing favorable effects in chronic disease patients.

Objective
The plantar vault is flat at birth and develops spontaneously during the first decade of
life. Sport practice at school age can play an important role for the proper or abnormal
foot growth.The aim of this investigation is to correlate the vault shape evolution with
the practice of different sport activities during the school age. The first session of the
study observations will be shown thereafter.
Materials and methods.
450 primary/secondary school children aged 6 to 14 years, of both sexes, enrolled in
the province of Rome will be considered; any subject treated for vault correction has
not been included. Data about sport practice and anthropometric measurements are
collected in two different sessions; all subjects are evaluated by taking foot images in
specific photo projections. Using a polarized light plantoscope the vault shapes have
been discriminated and the footprint isthmus measured. Normal, cavus, flexible/rigid
flatfoot has been identified. Data will be analysed using Statistical Program for Social
Sciences version 13.0.
Results
Standard vaults were 77%, flatfoot 9%, cavus foot 14%. Dance or Artistic gymnastics
are associated to a higher percentage of cavus vault.
Conclusions
The first session of the study showed prevailings of plantar vault shapes similar to
those expressed in literature.

DESIGN AND METHODS
A clinical study, longitudinal and prospective. Forty-three subjects with overweight or
obese, randomly assigned to two groups: Group 1 continuous program (n = 20)
performed 5 sessions per week to 65% of maximum heart rate during 30 min. Group 2
interval training program (n = 23): 5 sessions per week for 15 minutes divided into
intervals of 30 seconds at 75% of the maximum heart rate by 2.5 minutes of active
recovery at 60% of maximum heart rate; for 3 weeks in both groups. Dosed according
to results of the maximal exercise test. ANOVA two-way was used considering the type
of exercise intervention and time as factors. T tests for independent samples T tests for
paired samples to determine changes in variables within groups.
RESULTS
No significant difference was found after three weeks of the program between groups.
However, in Group 2 there was significant difference (p <0.05) between baseline and
final percentage of fat; that was lower.
CONCLUSIONS
Interval trining represents an effective therapeutic strategy to reduce cardiovascular
risk in obese patients over a period of 3 weeks. As for the decrease of fat percentage,
proved as effective as continuous exercise, but unlike this, it requires less execution
time per session, and uses predominantly lipids as energy substrate, consequently
there is a low accumulation lactic acid and thus delay the onset of fatigue that
promotes increased exercise tolerance.

The sexual activiti is a normal form of cardio-respiratory and muscular solicitation that
we can compare with 100 m. run. From the Masters & Johnson report in the 60 years
in USA not too musch scientific research has been made on the matter. Certenly is not
possible to consider sexual exercise activity like fitmess training, but it's obvious that a
good physical condition is favorable to improve the oerformance. Negativ effects on
sport performance are possibly reversible anomalies on the male fertility an female
menstrual cycles.

It is well known that manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) plays a key role on
the redox status maintenance in exercise outcomes. The Ala16Val gene polymorphism
was described for the MnSOD gene presenting three genotypes: AA, AV, and VV. The
aim of this study was to investigate the influence of the Ala16Val gene polymorphism
on the MnSOD gene expression and protein content after a moderate intensity
exercise bout. 60 sport sciences students were firstly genotyped for the Ala16Val
MnSOD gene polymorphism. From this sample, 10 healthy subjects per genotype
(n=30, 20.6±1.8 years old) were randomly recruited to performed an exercise bout at
75% of the maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) during 40 minutes on a cycloergometer.
Blood samples were drawn before and 1 h after the exercise bout. Peripheral blood
mononuclear cells (PBMC) were separated for biological assays. Initial genotyped
sample respected Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P=0.273). No differences were found
on gene expression and protein content at baseline among genotypes. MnSOD gene
expression increased significantly after the exercise bout for the AA participants
(P=0.038). Protein content showed no exercise effect for all genotypes, although
homozygote genotypes showed increased AA protein content when compared to VV
after the exercise bout (P=0.044). The results herein described point out that the
Ala16Val gene polymorphism influences MnSOD gene expression and protein content
after a moderate exercise bout on young healthy participants. Furthermore, these data
indicate a clear role for the AA genotype on MnSOD modulation, indicating that gene
variants may partially explain differences on exercise-induced ROS production.

AIM OF THE STUDY. The purpose of the present study was to explore the relationships
between VDR ApaI, BsmI, FokI polymorphisms and indirect muscle injuries in a group
of top-level soccer players.
MATERIAL AND METHODS. A sample of 23 male soccer players were analyzed during
the 2010-2011 season, while 9 of them were followed longitudinally from 2009-2010
season till 2011-2012 season. The combined influence of the VDR ApaI, BsmI, FokI
polymorphisms was examined using the Total Genotype Score (TGS, Williams and
Folland, 2008). Indirect muscle injuries were considered as the number of the full
recovery days (NFRD) required to return to play a match. The relationships between
each single polymorphism and indirect muscle injuries were analyzed by Spearman’s
correlation, while the relationship between TGS and muscle injuries was analyzed by
multiple regression analysis.
RESULTS. A significant relationship between TGS and NFRD during the 2010-2011
season (R2=.1728, F=4.387, p=0.04) was found. Soccer players with low TGS showed
high NFRD. Moreover, a significant correlation was found between ApaI (r=0.61;
p<0.05) and BsmI polymorphism (r=0.70; p<0.05) and mean NFRD during the 3
seasons. Athletes with aa and bb genotypes showed the lowest NFRD.
CONCLUSION. Our results showed that there could be an effect of VDR polymorphisms
on the individual predisposition of top-level soccer players to develop muscle injuries.
These results suggested that athletes with particular VDR genotypes could need a
special adapted training process that keeps under control the possibility of developing
indirect muscle injuries. Further future analysis are require to confirm our data.

Introduction: The interaction between extrinsic and intrinsic variables, including
genetic factors, can have an important effect on non-contact tissue injuries. We have
analyzed for the first time the frequency of SNPs in genes related to tissue repair and
regeneration and compared the frequencies observed in different ethnic groups.
Material and Methods: SNPs in the following 8 genes were analyzed in blood extracted
from 73 professional elite football players: Elastin (Eln); Titin (TTN); SRY-related
HMG-box (SOX15); Insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2); Chemokine, CC motif, ligand 2
(CCL2); Collagen type 1 alpha 1(COL1A1); Collagen type 5 alpha 1 (COL5A1) and
Tenascin C (TNC). SNP analysis was performed using a real-time polymerase chain
reaction (PCR) Allelic Discrimination TaqMan Assay.
Results: The subjects included 43 Caucasians, 11 Subsaharan-africans and 9 Hispanics.
Significant (P<0.001) inter-racial differences were observed in the frequencies of the
SNPs of each of the 8 genes.
Conclusion: Epidemiological data have demonstrated the existence of interindividual
differences both in the degree of injury and in recovery time. The significant
inter-racial differences for the 8 genes observed in the present study should be
considered when studying these interindividual differences. Further studies with a
larger sample size are warranted to correlate these inter-racial differences with degree
of injury and recovery time.

Hypertensive subjects, even when trained as master athletes, often develop a blunted
cardio-vagal baroreflex sensitivity and an imbalance between sympathetic and parasympathetic
tone; this may reduce the adaptation of cardiac output and peripheral resistances to warm
environments, particularly when under treatment with anti-hypertensive drugs, especially those
inhibiting the angiotensin II-mediated vasoconstriction. Therefore, the immersion in hot mud
typical of SPA treatment used in rehabilitation programmes after sport injures may cause
hypotension in these patients.
PURPOSE: To evaluate the acute cardiovascular effects of mud-pack treatment in
pharmacologically treated hypertensive patients.
METHODS: 28 subjects (M/F 10/18; 67±11 yrs, m±SD) were divided in 2 groups, matched for age
and anthropometric characteristics: normotensive (N) and hypertensive (H) subjects, treated
with beta-blockers, ACE-inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor antagonists (no diuretics).
Beat-by-beat systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP)(finger pletismography), and heart
rate (HR) were recorded before, in supine position (10 min), and during mud-pack treatment
(mud temperature 42°C, 15 min). Cardiac output and total peripheral resistance were calculated
from the computed aortic-flow waveform; HR variability by spectral indexes of sympathovagal
balance (HF, High Frequency; LF, Low Frequency and LF/HF ratio) were finally calculated.
RESULTS: Compared to basal (pre-treatment) conditions, mud treatment tended to decrease SBP
(difference between mud immersion and basal condition; H: -6±16 mmHg; N: -3±5 mmHg),
whereas DBP did not differ (H: -2±7 mmHg; N: 7±5 mmHg) in both groups. HR significantly
increased (p<0.05) in both groups (H: 7±6 bpm; N: 8±4 bpm). Cardiac output decreased
significantly (p<0.01) in H subjects only (H: -1.5±2.0 l/min; N: -0.5±1.6 l/min), whereas total
peripheral resistances decreased in H and increased in N subjects (H: -160±237 l/min; N: 97±124
dyn.s/cm5)(p<0.05). LF/HF ratio slightly but not significantly increased in both groups (H:
0.1±1.5; N: 0.7±1.6), as a results of an increase in LF and a reduction of HF, the latter being
significant (p<0.05) in H subjects only.
CONCLUSIONS: Mud-pack treatment seems to be safe even in pharmacologically treated
hypertensive subjects.

We have recently shown habitually barefoot children in rural Kenya to have a greater
ankle range of motion, higher and more flexible medial longitudinal foot arch,
comparative stronger toe intrinsic foot muscle strength and a lower incidence of injury
than matched shod controls. AIM: This study investigated heel bone stiffness, achilles
tendon moment arm length and physical activity in 31 habitually barefoot (HB) (age
15.5 ± 1.2 yrs (mean ± SD)) children and age, gender and weight-matched controls in
rural Kenya. METHODS: Heel bone stiffness was measured using bone ultrasonometry.
The moment arm length of the achilles tendon was estimated from photographs of the
ankle, using the position of anatomical landmarks on both feet. Physical activity levels
and patterns were objectively measured for 6 consecutive days (including weekdays
and at least one weekend day) using uni-axial accelerometry. RESULTS: Calcaneus
stiffness index was greater (right 110 ± 16 vs 102 ± 19, p=0.03; left 113 ± 17 vs 101 ±
17, p=0.002) and achilles tendon moment arm shorter in HB (right 3.4 ± 0.5 vs 3.7 ± 0.4
cm, p=0.007; left 3.4 ± 0.4 vs 3.6 ± 0.4 cm, p=0.02). HB children were significantly more
physically active as reflected by the greater accelerometer counts per minute (780 ±
240 vs 311 ± 66 counts per minute, respectively, p<0.001). Moderate to vigorous
physical activity was also significantly greater in HB (98 ± 37 min/day vs 34 ± 12
min/day; p<0.001). CONCLUSION: HB children possessed significantly greater bone
stiffness and a shorter achilles tendon moment arm. The extent to which these
adaptations are a response to being habitually barefoot and/or the much higher and
more intense levels of daily physical activity, remains to be determined.

Objective: Due to chronic dissatisfaction with body weight in youth, efforts to lose
weight often lead to pathological dietary behaviours. Regular and heavy sports activity
may contribute to the optimization of body weight, not only by elevating the energy
utilization but also by increasing the health consciousness and the tendency to
self-monitor. Research generally finds a beneficial role of extracurricular sports activity
in body weight control. Therefore, we aim to analyze how regular,heavy sports activity
(more precisely, competitive sports) may contribute to body weight control among
two groups of youth: athletes and non-athletes.
Design and method: Our study was carried out using 347 adolescents; among them
there were 91 athletes
and 259 controls. The subjects completed self-administered questionnaires concerning
their body weight control and dietary habits.
Results: We found that girls were less satisfied with their body weight and reported
dieting more frequently with a greater emphasis on healthy dieting than boys. Sport
influenced these strong gender differences only regarding healthy dieting, young male
athletes laid a larger emphasis on healthy diets than their non-athlete counterparts,
therefore their attitude became similar to that of female athletes and non-athletes.
We conclude that despite the normal weight in high school students, episodes of
dieting that might contribute to eating disorders were quite frequent. This was not
influenced by the students’ extracurricular sports activity.
Conclusion: A greater monitoring of male athletes’ and their friend’s diet draw
attention to the need for developing health education programs specific to boys.
Key words: athletes, healthy diet, body weight control

Background: If association between the decline in physical performance and the
subjective quality of life is confirmed, the SPPB could be used as a predictor for decline
in quality of life in aged people.
Objective: This study aimed to elucidate the association of the short physical
performance battery (SPPB) with the quality of life (EQ-5D) to determine the
usefulness of the SPPB as a predictor of decline in quality of life.
Methods: The SPPB and EQ-5D were performed on random sample nested in the
KLoSA panel. Comparisons of adjusted means of EQ-5D index between normal and
abnormal SPPB groups were performed using a t-test. The association between EQ-5D
and SPPB abnormality was examined using logistic regression analysis. Additionally, the
associations of gait speed and chair stand time with EQ-5D index were examined using
logistic regression analysis.
Results: Four hundred and twenty two subjects were included in the analysis. Adjusted
means of EQ-5D index were significantly lower when SPPB score was abnormal.
(p=0.022 for men, p=0.047 for women) Abnormal SPPB score was significantly
associated with abnormal EQ-5D especially for men (adjusted OR 2.46, 95% CI
1.03–5.87 for men, adjusted OR 1.76, 95% CI 0.94–3.33 for women). Gait speed was
significantly associated with EQ-5D index in participants regardless of sex.
Conclusions: Abnormal SPPB score was associated with decline in quality of life. Thus,
the SPPB has the potential to be used as an early predictor of decline in quality of life
in clinical settings and epidemiological study.

Introduction The finding that women seem to compensate the increased
exercise-related energy expenditure, through high lipid-dense foods, suggested us to
verify if this is due to the intensity of daily body movement and energy expenditure or
to exercise program participation. The aim of this study was to investigate the
interaction between the amount of weekly vigorous physical activity and gender on
dietary habits of non-exercising university students. Methods We recruited 30
university students: 15 women and 15 men without participation in a controlled diet
and physical exercise programs during the last 2 years. Qualitative and quantitative
characteristics of dietary habits and daily physical activity were assessed together with
body composition. We created 2 sub-samples according to the 50th percentile of
weekly min of vigorous physical activity: LOW (<30 min) and HIGH (>30 min). Results.
Men had worse values than women of both daily intake of percentage of lipids
(p=0.027) and carbohydrates (p=0.05) and that of satured fat (p=0.04). The
interaction between gender and weekly min of vigorous physical activity showed that
men and women differed in lipid (p=0.05) and satured fat intake (p=0.016) trend. Men
showed a worse tendency than women. Discussion Our results show that, if
non-exercising women have a correct distribution of daily energy intake among
macronutrients, independently from weekly min of vigorous physical activity, both
lipid and satured fat intake of non-exercising men are linked with weekly min of
vigorous physical activity. In fact, more active men had high lipidic diet.

The aim of this research was to study the effect of external intervention factor (types
of music) in physical fitness factors on adolescence boys.In order to do this study, 30
healthy adolescence boys (9-12 years), were randomly allocated in 3 testing stage, fast
music, slow music, control with Counter Balance method. In each stage of research
program the muscular endurance, coordination, agility and muscular power tests were
perform. In the stage of fast music: the rhythm of 135-140 bpm and slow music: the
rhythms of 115-120 bpm were used and control received no musical intervention.Data
analysis showed that in each stage the difference of muscular endurance tests include
sit up, push up and pull up were significant (P<0.05).
there were significant
differences between musical stage with control stage in push up, sit up and endurance
strength . In each stage the difference of coordination tests were significant . The
coordination test result in the control and slow music stages were improved (P<0.05).
The agility test results in the stge of intervention were not significant .The explosive
power result in the fast music stages were significantly improved .
Finally listening to the music during strength and endurance performance , cause to
increase efficiency of performance, and fast music maybe is more effective in
avoiding from central fatigue. On the other hand, , every kind of music has the
negative effect on performance of coordination test and has no effect on performance
of the agility test .

Introduction
Arousal and condition of it is one of the major environmental factors that is influence
performance and learning of motor skills through motivating subjects.
Methods
24 healthy and non-athlete girls that were divided into two groups of music (n=12) and
control (n=12) randomly. The subjects in the exercise protocol participated in the
acquisition stage performing the Harrison dribbling basketball Test for 6 weeks, 3
sessions per week for 30 a duration of seconds in each session. The music group
performed the learning task while listening to music. The basketball dribbling test was
recorded at the start of the training protocol and again at the end of the 6th week of
the acquisition trials.
Results
Data analysis showed that two groups improved significantly at the acquisition stage
(p=0.001). However, there was only a significant difference in retention and transfer
scores of music motivation induced condition compared to the control group. Music
induced conditions significantly demonstrated higher scores on retention and transfer
tests in contrast to the control group (p=0.001).
Discussion
Presenting the arousing components has no positive effects on the primary phase of
acquisition and learning of a continuous skill such as basketball dribbling skill.
However, following a detraining period, the results reversed. They demonstrated
their influence in such a way that the arousal effect of music was considerable in both
learning and transfer (1).

PURPOSE: Physical activity is recommended as a component of weight management.
Exercise intensity has been showed to be one of the most important factors in
determining substrate utilization. Purpose of our study was to determine the level at
which physical exercise elicits maximal fat oxidation.
METHODS: Fifteen healthy sedentary subjects, 8 men and 7 women, mean age 53
(range 37 – 71), BMI 26,6±1,33, performed an incremental exercise test to exhaustion
on treadmill, using Bruce protocol. Breath-by-breath measurements of VO2
(ml/Kg/min) were detected throughout exercise and FAT rate (mg/Kg/min) was
determined using indirect calorimetry (Cosmed, Quark CPET). The data is shown as
mean values ± standard error of the mean. For the statistical analysis of the data,
linear regression analysis was used.
RESULTS: The average VO2max was 28,63±2,03 ml/Kg/min (men 30,91±3,27; women
26,03±2,08 ml/Kg/min). FATmax of 7,19±0,77 mg/Kg/min (men 0,80±1,22; women
6,26±0,84 mg/Kg/min) was reached at VO2 of 18,23±1,28 ml/Kg/min (men 18,85±2,03;
women 17,51±1,59 ml/Kg/min) and it was located at 64±2,05 %VO2max (men 61±2,06;
women 68±4,96 %VO2max). A positive linear correlation between FATmax and VO2 at
FATmax (r=0,85, p<0,0001) has been found.
CONCLUSIONS: Our data demonstrate that in healthy sedentary subjects the maximal
fat oxidation rate was located at 64 %VO2max (range of intensity 55-75 %VO2max).
In addition, our results showed that women utilize fat acid substrate on a wider range
of exercise intensity (55-80 %VO2max) than men (55-67 %VO2max), suggesting that
this difference must be taken into account when prescribing exercise for weight
management in healthy sedentary subjects.

Introduction: Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint process prevalent in the older adult
population. The symptoms of OA, such as pain and stiffness of the joints, restrict ability
to move and control the balance in which consequently results in increased falling
accidents. Several reviews have concluded that exercise therapy can benefit patients
with OA of the knee and hip.
Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of water exercise on falling
risk and postural control patients with knee OA.
Methods: 30 elderly women with knee OA (age: 70.4 ± 9.8, height: 145.6 ± 12.2 and
weight: 53.1 ± 10.6) voluntarily participated in present study. Their static balance was
evaluated by Romberg tests. Using Berg questionnaire, the falling risk were evaluated.
Then the subjects were divided into experimental and control groups randomly.
Experimental group underwent an 12weeks (three sessions per week) water exercise
program. The RPE scale was used to evaluate the exercise intensity after each water
exercise session. The control groups did not participate in any training program. The
evaluations were repeated after the treatment sessions. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)
was used for statistical analysis.
Results: After water exercise the ability of subjects in controlling of balance on one leg
(P= 0.002) were significantly improved. Also exercise reduced the falling risk
significantly (P=0.000).
Conclusions: water exercise improved postural control and reduced risk of fall in
patients with knee OA. This water exercise program is recommended for rehabilitation
of patients with knee OA.

Although acute exhaustive exercise is known to increase liver reactive oxygen species
(ROS) production, and moderate aerobic training has been shown to improve the
antioxidant status in the liver, little is known about mitochondria adaptations to
aerobic training. The main objective of this study was to investigate the effects of a
moderate aerobic training on oxidative stress markers and antioxidant defense in liver
mitochondria both after training and after three consecutive exhaustive swimming
bouts. Wistar rats were divided into training, sedentary and sedentary-acute groups.
Training group performed a 6-week swimming training protocol. Subsets of training
and sedentary groups were sacrificed to verify liver mitochondria training adaptation.
72 h later, group subsets performed three consecutive swimming bouts with 72 h rest
in between. Oxidative stress biomarkers, antioxidant activity and status were assessed.
Lactate threshold test was also performed in order to confirm training adaptation.
Training group showed decreased protein carbonilation, with higher mitochondrial
superoxide dismutase (MnSOD), higher reduced glutathione (GSH) concentration,
decreased oxidized glutathione (GSSG) and higher GSH/GSSG rate after training.
Statistical analysis revealed that previous aerobic training protects against exhaustive
swimming ROS production herein characterized by decreased oxidative stress markers,
and higher antioxidant defenses when compared to sedentary groups. Training group
also presented higher time-to-exhaustion. Concluding, training induced positive
adaptations in rat liver mitochondria. Increased antioxidant defense after swimming
training cope well with exercise-produced ROS, indicating a protective role on
mitochondria functionality. Therefore, liver mitochondria adapt to exercise-induced
oxidative stress and may play an important role on exercise outcomes.

Objective
According to the manufacturer’s assertion, Power Band bracelet contains thin
polyester hologram (made from oxygen ions, infrared rays, germanium electrons and
magnetic waves), which broadcasts the natural frequencies associated with the energy
field of the human body and contributes to the establishment of ionic balance by
balancing the energy field. Recent investigations have shown that exposure to low
frequency magnetic fields may increase the half-life of free radicals which affects cell
signaling and may weaken the antioxidative defence system of the body (1, 2). Thus
the aim of our investigation was to assess if wearing Power Band bracelet affects redox
state of football players.
Design and method
Football players (n=48, age: 17.4±1.1) were subjected to 3 successive blood samplings
in different conditions: 1) with no bracelet, 2) with placebo bracelet and 3) with Power
Band bracelet. Redox state analysis included measurement of levels of: superoxide
anion radical, hydrogen peroxide, nitrites as markers of nitric oxide, thiobarbituric acid
reactive substances as index of lipid peroxidation, reduced glutathione, superoxide
dismutase and catalase activity.
Results
Wearing placebo or Power Band bracelet had no statistically significant effect on any
investigated parameter of subjects’ redox state.
Conclusions
The results of our study showed that wearing Power Band hologram had no negative
effect on redox state of football players.

It has been shown that, consistently with the observed loss of specific force in vivo in
the elderly, specific force (Po/CSA) of identified types of atrophic muscle fibers of
sedentary and immobilized elderly subjects (EL) is lower than that of young (YO)
healthy subjects and that a major determinant of such loss could be a lower myosin
concentration within individual muscle fibers and a retraining could change this
condition. We performed two studies in which torque and muscle volume of the
quadriceps muscle were determined in vivo; cross sectional area (CSA), Po/CSA and
myosin concentration of isolated muscle fibers from biopsy samples of vastus lateralis
were determined in vitro. Study 1: 4 YO subjects were subjected to 4 weeks unilateral
lower limb suspension (ULLS); isometric torque and muscle volume by MRI were lower
(21% and 10% respectively) post-ULLS compared to pre-ULLS and increased (32% and
15%) post-2 weeks recovery. CSA and Po/CSA of muscle fibers were lower post-ULLS
compared to pre-ULLS and Po/CSA interestingly increase after recovery. Study 2:
specific force and volume by MRI were lower (18% and 27%) in normally active EL
subjects compared to YO controls; muscle fibers from EL subjects had a 14% in CSA and
a 25% of Po/CSA decrease compared to YO subjects. In ULLS subjects myosin
concentration is decrease post suspension with an almost complete recover after 3
weeks retraining. Our data indicate that, in disuse exercise could overcome atrophy
and maybe ameliorate subjects condition.

Objective: This study was aimed at the investigation of the effect of endurance training
and/or testosterone treatment on the activity of antioxidant enzymes (superoxide
dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase),
concentrations of nonenzymatic antioxidants (glutathione and uric acid) and plasma
malondialdehyde as a biomarker of oxidative damage to lipids.
Design and method: Male Wistar rats were randomly assigned into four groups of
sedentary or exercise trained (1 h daily, 5 days a week for 6 weeks) animals receiving,
or not receiving, intramuscular injections of testosterone enanthate (8mg/kg body
weight) once a week for 6 weeks.
Results: As compared to sedentary controls, the activities of antioxidant enzymes
(except for glutathione reductase) and concentrations of nonenzymatic antioxidants
tended towards higher values in response to training, which was accompanied by a
significant increase in malondialdehyde level. A significant rise (p<0.05) in the activity
of superoxide dismutase and a trend towards higher activity of glutathione peroxidase
and uric acid level in response to testosterone treatment was observed in sedentary
animals, as compared to untreated sedentary controls. There was a slight tendency to
lower activities of superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione
reductase and plasma uric acid content and a significant increase (p<0.01) in
malondialdehyde level after testosterone treatment combined with training.
Conclusions:These results suggest that endurance training alone induced improvement
in the antioxidant defense, but combined stressors, such as chronic exercise and
administration of anabolic-androgenic steroid led to a moderate impairment of the
pro-oxidant/antioxidant balance in the blood of rats.

BACKGROUND
Power to heart rate ratio (W/HR) is a measure of anaerobic threshold among
endurance athletes. W/HR can be determined through the Heart Rate Deflection
method, HRD.
OBJECTIVES
To determine trend of arterial pressure (AP), systolic volume (SV), cardiac output
(CO) and their regulation
METHODS
12 cyclists performed a maximum aerobic power test on cyclosimulator starting from
100watt and increasing 10watt stepwise each 30 seconds untill muscular exhaustion
occured. HR data have been collected with a Polar® heart rate monitor and AP data
with Portapres®.
Further data analysis has been done with Protrainer 5®, BeatScope® and ModelFlow®
in order to determine HR, SV and CO
RESULTS
For each subject the heart rate deflection point (HRDP) and, therefore, the anaerobic
threshold, have been identified. For each subject systolic AP value decrease
significantly in conjunction with the HRDP and, in turn, to increase after an average
time of 72 m”. Analysis with ModelFlow® shows for all the subjects a reduction of SV
(average = 8%; min = 6%, max = 13%), while the trend of CO seems to be more
unclear.
CONCLUSIONS
This study shows for the first time a reduction of AP values in healthy athletes during
an incremental maximum aerobic power test. The decrease of AP values is
time-locked to the HRDP and, consequently, to anaerobic threshold. At the same
time, significant reduction of the SV can be observed. It seems reasonable to
hypothesize that the HRDP can be closely related to SV regulation.

Aim - Near-infrared spectroscopy allows noninvasive static and dynamic muscle
evaluation in peripheral arterial disease. We studied the exercise-induced changes of
selected near-infrared spectroscopy parameters in patients with peripheral arterial
disease.
Materials and Methods - Forty-five patients (39M, age=71.3±6.6y) with peripheral
arterial disease, for a total of 75 diseased legs, were studied at entry and at 34±2
weeks. Patients walked 20 min/day performing two different home-based programs:
1) Structured at prescribed pace below pain threshold speed (S-pre, n=31); 2)
Unstructured at free pace to pain tolerance (U-free, n=14). Fifteen healthy subjects
(7M, age=38.3±15.3y), studied as reference group, performed their usual activities.
Outcome measures: Ankle-Brachial Index; calf oxygen consumption at rest and muscle
oxygenated hemoglobin (area under curve) during an incremental test by near-infrared
spectroscopy, and initial/absolute claudication distances.
Results - Baseline oxygenated hemoglobin, which was lower in patients compared with
healthy subjects, significantly increased after training, approaching the stable values of
untrained healthy subjects. Within the diseased population, the U-free group failed to
exhibit significant variations in any outcome parameter while in the S-pre group,
significant functional improvement was accompanied by increased near-infrared
spectroscopy parameters (calf oxygen consumption, P=.05; oxygenated hemoglobin,
P=.006), and Ankle-Brachial Index (P<.0001). Individually near-infrared spectroscopy
parameters adaptations in the worse legs according to the Ankle-Brachial Index
changes were observed.
Conclusions - Selected near-infrared spectroscopy parameters showed
exercise-induced changes and, in combination with traditional parameters, outlined
local adaptations following rehabilitation in patients affected by peripheral arterial
disease.

Aim: evaluate through ultrasound scanning, the anatomic-tissutal repair with a
prevalence of regeneration phenomena than on cicatricial, on a sample of lesions from
indirect trauma treated with endothermy and transdermal vehiculation.
30 male patients (18-40 years) amateur soccer players/semi-professional with
traumatic indirect lesion at distal internal gastrocnemius myo-tendinous junction (22
left legs – 8 right legs) procured during the game or training on turf. Period: January September 2010.
Diagnoses: ultrasound scanning, symptoms evaluated with VAS(0-10).
First ultrasound scanning control: 12 patients presented first degree lesion, 10 patients
second degree lesion, 8 patients third degree.
Cycle of therapy:
Endotherapy in the first 24 hours (edema resorption).
First, second week: 2 consecutive sessions of Winform Transdermal Infiltration System
(aceclofenac 200 mg, EDTA 10%). 2 sessions of Winform Endotherapy (alternate days).
Thirds, fourth week: 2 Endotherapy sessions spaced at least 48 hours.
Second control, end of therapies: all patients showed initial or partial hematoma
resorption, appearance of fibers and beginning of cicatricial phenomena.
All patients reported an improvement in pain that has increased from a medium
average VAS 5.69±2.27 (DS) to 2.40±1.84 (DS) at discharge, medium improvement of
3.29±0.76 (DS) (T- test p<0.05).
In conclusion, these associated methods are effective for quality of anatomic-tissutal
repair, hematoma resorption rather than on recovery time. No association with other
techniques.

Objective::
Cryotherapy is known since ages. It is now experiencing renewed interest thanks to a
better knowledge of its action on the human body. A newly developed technique, the
neurocryostimulation, appears to be promising.
Design and method:
The thermic shock seems to be the scientific rationale of this newly developed
technology. Physiologic effects of cryotherapy recently published identify four main
mechanism of action: Analgesics, anti-inflammatory, vasomotor and myorelaxant.
Results:
Several techniques for cryotherapy are known and used. For each technique, a
physico-chemical phenomenon occurs when in contact with the skin, and thus
conditions a specific physiologic effect on the body. Three main phenomena are
identified: Conduction, convection and sublimation. Only neurocryostimulation
allows to date to obtain some tangible expected physiological effects. Medical and
paramedical indications seem to be promising in humans as well as in animals.
Conclusions:
Cryotherapy is making a tremendous comeback. Better understanding of the
mechanisms of action and the development of neurocryostimulation reinforce this
interest. More clinical and fundamental studies are needed to definitely lay the basis
of this ancestral practice.

We previously reported highly significant correlations between body cell mass (BCM)
measured by BIA and aerobic capacity in rugbymen. However BIA loses precision in
slim or heavy athletes due to limitations of the model that are overcome with
segmental BIA. We tested a new device using this approach, the RX4000 Biacorpus
(Healthnesslink, France), that we validated first against DEXA and then applied to a
team of rugbymen. Validation in 36 subjects covering a range of BMI 13-48 kg / m²,
showed for fat mass (MG) a remarkable agreement (r=0.988; average error 0.532 [95%
confidence interval CI:-0.495;1.56]) with DEXA. The composition of each segment is
accurately predicted (r=0.823 to 0.958). In a team of 29 rugbymen (age:18-31 yr; mean
body mass index 29 (ranging from 21 to 41 kg/m²) we found an average % of fat mass
of 18,46 % and muscle mass was on the average two-fold bigger than fat mass.
However neither muscle mass not BCM measured with BIA were predictor of
measurements of sprint performance, while the time of 10m sprint was strongly
correlated to fat mass (r=0.738 p<0.01 )and to %fat mass (r=0.750, p<0.01) as did the
time to perform Gacon's 45-15 repeated sprint test (FM r=0.783 p<0.01; %FM r=0.693
p<0.01). Thus this new segmental BIA technique provides a markedly improved
determination of fat and fat free mass in lean and obese subjects and provides
measurements strongly correlated with sprint and repeated test performance in
rugbymen, emphasizing the negative effect of excess fat mass on this performance.

Weight-based categories sports, such as boxing, demands specific evaluations criteria
regarding training, competition and nutritional patterns. Applied behaviors, such as
dehydration and malnutrition, leads to decrease in performance, despite health issues
(eg. Rabdhomyolisis).
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to evaluate the metabolic demand (resting
metabolic rate - RMR) of national elite boxing athletes, and analyse the nutritional
pattern individually.
DESIGN/METHODS: For RMR evaluation, a portable analyzer (FITMATE PRO COSMED®) were used in 11 athletes (7 males/ 4 females; 25,5±3yrs); nutritional
pattern was analyzed using daily 24h records, with specific software for qualitative
datas (NUTWIN®). For statistical analysis, t student test and ANOVA two-way was
used when appropriated, adopting p<0.05 for statistical significance.
RESULTS: All athletes were above the category weight. RMR was 1341,2±423,2, higher
in males (1496,7±109,2 vs 1069,2±646,4). Caloric intake was 2038,6±575,2, higher in
females (2323,2±786,8 vs 1874,78±394,6). Qualitative analysis showed lower
carbohydrate intake (91% of the athletes). 36% showed high protein intake;
branched-chain-aminoacid leucine were under dietary recommended intake (DRI) in
36%. Eletrolytes intake, such as sodium, pottasium and magnesium were abnormal in
100% of the athletes.
CONCLUSIONS: The present study evidences abnormalities that should be focused on
the multidisciplinary matter, avoiding deleterious atitudes such as dehydration and
malnutrition, wich could lead to decrease in performance, despite health risks, and
such evaluations that permits improvements on body composition of the athletes
should be encouraged.

Elite athletes present a peculiar profile that demands specific performance
assessment, including training, dietary recommendations and metabolic stress
repercussion. High intensity training can induce a wide range of metabolic responses
and associated with inadequate resting and nutritional intake might be a trigger for
adverse outcomes in performance.
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess the metabolic stress responses of Brazilian elite
boxing athletes mimicking a typical Olympic championship framework.
DESIGN/METHOD: 11 elite athletes (7 males/ 4 females; 25,5±3yrs) were submitted to
a performance assessments on a maximal specific test preceded and proceeded by a
blood analyses of acute and chronic biochemical markers of stress associated with
anabolic and catabolic responses (CK, CKMB, AST, ALT, Gama GT, Glucose, Insulin,
Hematocrit, Hemoglobin, Albumin, Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, Total and Free
Testosterone, Cortisol). Testosterone and Cortisol ratio was utilized to check the
performance status. Student’s t test or Wilcoxon test was utilized for statistical
analyses according data distribution (p<0.05)
RESULTS: The maximal test induces metabolic responses of exertion, observed by
increase on muscle damage (CK and AST), hemoconcentration (hematocrit,
hemoglobin, albumin and electrolytes), anabolic hormones (total and free
testosterone), glucose metabolism (glucose and insulin) without alterations on cardiac
(CKMB), hepatic (ALT, Gama GT) and catabolic (cortisol) biomarkers.
Testosterone/Cortisol ratio was elevated after maximal test, indicating that deleterious
effects are not expected in these athletes.
CONCLUSION: This study shows that specific metabolic approach on Brazilian’s elite
boxing athletes may lead to adequately characterization and specifically ways to
improve high performance fitness.

OBJECTIVE Our aim was to investigate the effects of an exercise test on the oxidative
status and endothelial function, in trained and untrained subjects, before and after a
cardiopulmonary test.
DESIGN AND METHOD We enrolled 60 male trained subjects (mean age 32.1 ± 9.2 yrs;
VO2max 34.0 ± 12.0 ml/min/Kg), subdivided in two subgroups of 30 subjects each,
according to the median value of VO2max (30.75 ml/min/Kg). The low VO2max group
had mean age 32.4 ± 8.0 yrs and VO2max 24.9 ± 4.0 ml/min/Kg. The high VO2max
group had mean age 31.9 ± 10.4 yrs and VO2max 43.1 ± 10.8 ml/min/Kg. The control
group included 19 male sedentary controls (mean age 32.9 ± 5.3 yrs; VO2max 20.9 ±
5.5 ml/min/Kg). Lipid peroxidation was evaluated by detection of the thiobarbituric
acid-reactive substances (TBARS); the NOx were evaluated employing the Griess
reagent.
RESULTS At rest, in comparison with sedentary controls, an increase in TBARS, NOx and
TBARS/NOx ratio was found in the whole group but also in the two subgroups of
trained subjects. After the cardiopulmonary test, the increase of TBARS and
TBARS/NOx ratio was significantly more evident in sedentary controls than in trained
subjects. No variation was observed for NOx in any group. There was no significant
difference between the two subgroups of trained subjects.
CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that trained subjects are protected against the acute
oxidative stress induced by an exercise test, and this protection is not strictly
dependent on the aerobic fitness.

Oxidative stress, a condition defined as unbalancing between production of free
radicals and antioxidant defences, is an important index of health status to monitor
wellness and sport performance. Oxidative stress and inflammation are traditionally
associated with fatigue and impaired recovery from exercise and antioxidant could
play a positive role to reduced inflammation
markers and cortisol response. Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC) is significantly
correlated with total testosterone in male subjects. Aim of this work is to obtain
preliminary data which correlate plasmatic oxidative stress (dROMs) with levels of
testosterone and cortisol (T/C) in saliva, recommended as good markers of training
stress during season of a team of the Italian Soccer League (Serie A). Saliva, in fact, as a
diagnostic blood mirror, represents a useful non-invasive analysis method in
replacement of the sample serum. Furthermore, during the same sport season we
assessed the antioxidant capacity in saliva samples from each player using a set-up
DPPH method. Obtained results were correlated with salivate acid uric level measured
by HPLC analysis. Moreover, we monitored also the immune function and the
inflammatory status of the examined players, analysing the
secreted
immunoglobulins and pro-inflammatory cytochins.

OBJETIVE: The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of the Omega-3
docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) supplementation on perceptual-motor processes, such as
complex reaction time, accuracy, and efficiency in elite female soccer players. The
second objective was to analyze possible differences in DHA effects when
supplementation is offered at the beginning versus the end of the soccer season.
DESIGN AND METHOD: The sample was composed of 34 elite professional female
soccer players, selected from two teams of the female soccer Spanish Super league. A
4-week, double-blind study was performed. The participants were administered a
supplementation of either DHA or a placebo. In each team, the participants were
randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. Athletes from the
experimental group received a 3.5 g·day-1 of DHA nutritional supplement, while
participants from the control group received only the placebo (olive oil), which did not
contain any Omega-3 fatty acids.To measure complex reaction efficiency we employed
a computerized task named “multiple reaction times” that presented visual and
auditory stimuli and registered responses accordingly.
RESULTS:Univariate contrast analysis showed effects of nutritional supplementation on
accuracy, efficiency and the interaction between the nutritional supplement and
experimental group on complex reaction time and efficiency.
CONLCUSIONS: The study suggest that supplementation with DHA produced
perceptual-motor benefits in female elite athletes, and that DHA could be a beneficial
supplement in sports where decision making and reaction time efficiency are of
importance.

Twenty–two athletes were divided into two separate groups as placebo group (n = 11)
[age: 18.00 ± 2.00 years] and Stimol group (n = 11) [age: 21.57 ± 4.58 years]. The
athletes were subjected to intense training for 4 weeks, 4 days a week, mainly
pre-season strength and technique training. In this training period, stimol group
athletes were given stimol 3 times a day as 1 g for breakfast, 1 g for lunch, and 1 g for
dinner while the placebo group athletes were given only placebo in the same dosage
and the same color at the same time. Blood lactate levels in athletes were measured

(IAT), rest for 5 minutes (R 5m), and rest for 20 min (R 20m).
In intra-group comparison, no change was observed in plasma lactate levels in placebo
group while a significant difference was found in the levels of stimol group as p<0.05
with a 49.8% decrease in plasma lactate level. In the measurements between groups,
in the post-test measurements made after the training period, significant differences
as p <0.05 were found with a 60.7% decrease in plasma lactate level immediately after
exercise.As a result, considerable decline was seen especially immediately after
exercise in plasma lactate levels of the athletes being given stimol supplement. In this
case, we can say that Citrulline/Malate supplementation may contribute positively to
the performance of athletes.

Objective: Many athletes consume a considerable quantity of nutritional supplements
prior to a match; however there are extremely limited data available for Iranian
professional soccer players. The aim of current study was to assess the use of
nutritional supplements among Iranian top-level soccer players.
Design and method: Data were collected from 19 Iranian professional football clubs in
the two divisions during the first six matches of the season 2010-2011. Each team
physician was asked to document the type and frequency of vitamins, minerals and
nutritional supplements taken by team players in the 72 h prior to each match.
Results: 414 soccer players participated in the study. 81.6% of them used some form of
nutritional supplements. Multivitamins (52.4%) were the most popular supplements
among the players. Taking CarboMax was reported for 41.5% and Isostar for 34.8% of
players. Vitamin E, C and B complex were taken by 30%, 27.8% and 19.8% of soccer
players, respectively. Relatively few players were taking Creatine (4.3%).
conclusions: The use of nutritional supplements is very high among Iranian
professional soccer players. However, it is clear that for most of athletes with
adequate diet, consuming nutritional supplements is unnecessary. Therefore, the
regular use of nutritional supplements by Iranian professional soccer players merit
further investigations.

OBJECTIVE - Chronic muscle inactivity and mechanical unloading (e.g. bed rest and
cast immobilization) result in skeletal wasting and weakness. The loss of muscle
function requires extensive and time-consuming physical rehabilitation. There is a
profound need to develop novel therapeutic strategies because current treatments are
ineffective. The aim of this study was to investigate the therapeutic potential of two
natural substances to combat muscle atrophy: an extract from rooster comb; IB0004
that contains mainly hyaluronic acid; and BIX003, another extract from porcine
cartilage, rich in bioactive substances.
DESIGN AND METHOD - An assay was performed to evaluate the potential to stimulate
proliferation of murine C2C12 muscle cells. Two different conditions were evaluated:
cells cultured with growth media (10%FBS) and cells cultured with low-serum media
(2%FBS). In another experiment, we evaluated whether IB0004 or BIX003 could
prevent muscle atrophy (i.e. myotube thickness) during serum starvation conditions.
RESULTS - IB0004 and BIX003 exerted little effect on cell proliferation in 10%FBS
growth serum, but they significantly stimulated proliferation in low-serum media after
48 hours treatment (131% and 48% increase, respectively). In addition, treatments
with either extract were able to counteract myotube atrophy compared with the 0%
control, as evident from a 20% reduction in myotube width.
CONCLUSIONS - The results indicate that BIX003 and IB0004 have potential anabolic
effects on muscle that could counteract cell atrophy under adverse conditions. Both
preparations may have therapeutic potential for preventing atrophy in muscle wasting
conditions such as disuse atrophy, sarcopenia, and other disorders. Studies in animal
models will be performed to confirm these promising in vitro findings.

Introduction: The cardiovascular assessment during the first medical examination of of
noncounter-indications to the practice of the high level sport has systematically a heart Doppler
ultrasound according to the consensus of National Center for Sport's Medicine and
Science(NCSMS).
The objective: to study the data of the transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) performed
between 1998 and 2009 and to identify anomalies that having challenged the sports activity. In
light of these results, we discuss the need for a systematic prescription of the TTE.
Materials and Methods: We retrospectively studied the data of all the TTE carried out in the
NCSMS from 1998 to 2009 (4254 heart Doppler ultrasound performed).
The study population
was composed of 2253 sportsmen including 586 girls (26.1%) and 1667 boys (73.9%). They are
of average age of 20.58 ± 4. 2 years. It is composed of national team's members (31.5%),
professional players (9.23%), sporting pupils (50.19%) and arbitrators (9.23%).
Results: The unfitness from cardiac causes represents 68.7% of total unfitness. Twenty-three
cases (69.7%) of cardiac abnormalities incompatible with sport were detected by systematic TTE.
They represent 9.3% of all TTE and 1.02% of the explored sporting population. The average age
of detection of heart disease was 20.2 ± 5.34 years. These are 9 student athletes, 7 national
team members and 7 professional players. The sports are football, handball, athletics,
basketball, wrestling, swimming, taekwondo and judo. 52.1% of the sports played in Class IIC
of Bethesda.
Heart diseases observed in inables athletes were : mitral and / or aortic advanced degree
valvular disease (11 cases), hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (6 cases ), congenital heart disease
(5 cases) and arrhythmogenic dysplasia of right ventricular (1 case)
The TTE has also detect cardiac abnormalities compatible with the practice of the sport. They
were mainly valvular anomalies (133 minimal mitral regurgitation, 126 rheumatic aortic
regurgitation, 117 mitral valve ballooning, 36 cases of minimal to moderate aortic regurgitation,
17 mitroaortiques leaks, 86 left ventricular hypertrophy and 6 small left-rights shunts). All these
anomalies were without impact on left ventricular function.
The systematic control of the ETT performed in 88 cases after more than 30 months showed no
significant differences in echocardiographic parameters.
Conclusion: The ETT seems to have main place in the assessment of noncounter-indication to
the practice of the competitive sports, particularly in average to strong of the BETHESDA
dynamic and static classes.

Introduction: Physical fitness in soccer players is related to a wide range of individual
abilities and consists of numerous motoric, physiological, psychomotor and
psychological parameters. High levels of these factors are necessary for the soccer
players to be able to fulfill all demands of the soccer game. Physical fitness of the
players is mostly dependent off their cardiovascular function.
Material and method: In this investigation we analyzed the results of the
cardiovascular stress test in a group of 150 male soccer players with a mean age of
24.03±4.45years. Method: The Bruce protocol was used as standardized
protocol
for the monitoring of cardiovascular function in exercising subjects. The object of
analyzes was the heart rate (HR) which is typically taken every minute during this
protocol.
Results: The heart rate curve during Bruce protocol treadmill test is composed of
heart beats per minute at the rest, during each minutes of the test and during the
recovery period. The mean values of the constituting points of this curve for the
investigated group of soccer players were: 0min=70,38; 1min=95,46; 2min=95,6;
3min=96,21; 4min=107,46; 5min=108,87; 6min=110,2; 7min= 121,86; 8min=123,64;
9min=126,15; 10min= 125,89, SF (recovery)= 125,89. The mean value of exercise time
(ET) was 13,41 minutes.
Conclusion: The data obtained from this study offers age appropriate normal data of
this cardiovascular parameter in active young adult soccer players and may be used as
reference values during treadmill exercise.

Introduction: Carnitine palmitoyl-transferase II deficiency is an autosomal recessive
and rare disorder of the fatty acid beta-oxidation cycle. The best known is the
muscular form with episodic muscle necrosis, and paroxysmal myoglobinuria after
prolonged and strenuous exercise; it was rarely reported sudden cardiac death during
sport.
Case report: We report a case of a 34-year old male amateur soccer referee evaluated
for the annual pre-participation screening. He described a severe sense of myalgia,
after sport activities. Maximal exercise stress test, 24-hours electrocardiogram
monitoring and haematochemical exam (haemachrome, inflammatory parameters,
electrolytes) were normal. For this reason he was referred for a neurological
evaluation and successively for a muscle biopsy of the left deltoid that showed
carnitine palmitoyl-transferase II deficiency.
This deficit could be associated with episodes of cardiac arrhythmias and
rhabdomyolysis in particular conditions that increase the requirement for fatty acid
oxidation, such as low-carbohydrate, fasting, excessive cold, lack of sleep and
prolonged exercise.
Conclusions: The athlete was considered not eligible for competitive sports.

The need to classify sports activities for scientific purposes has always been
counteracted by the difficulty in identifying criteria which have to be clear enough as
to providing a handy, simple and at the same time analytical classification, close to the
physiologic adaptations to each sport. The present investigation found in a
unselected population of athletes a relation of hemodynamic indices with sports
classification for COCIS. We assessed a population of 500 subjects [100 for group; 82
%males, age 34,82±9,6 years, BMI 24,83±2,61 Kg/m²], prospectively examined in Sport
Medicine clinics, matched for age, BMI and gender. The types of sports can be
divided into five groups in according to COCIS 2009. For all the variables, standard
statistical indices were calculated and distribution of frequencies of variables was
assessed. ANCOVA was used to compare the hemodynamic indices between groups. In
our population, Pulse Pressure were significantly greater among group D 2 (
49,55±8,41 mmHg; P=0,000) . Moreover, Pulse Pressure were significantly different
between groups (P=0,001), but not so SBP, DBP, MBP and HR. The main finding of our
study indicated a significant association between PP and Sport Classification. The
relation was independent of age, IMC and gender. An increase in PP reflects arterial
stiffening as a result of structural and functional change of vascular tree. The results
confirmed that both forms of training cause specific morphological changes in the
heart, dependent on the type of sport and that Pulse Pressure should discriminate to
more precisely characterize arterial function in athletes.

We considered the classic Dolomitic Marathon Traslaval, a foot race in five stages at
high altitude in Val di Fassa (Italy) that poses a hard challenge to Athletes, to assess
cardiac function during competition. The aim of the study was to evaluate the
modification of cardiac function during prolonged maximal workload. We decided to
perform three successive echocardiograms before and during the race breaks on 26
athletes who joined the study. All parameters collected over the three surveys
performed during the six competition days were similar and well distributed (first
control day 1: the day before the competition; second control day 4: rest after third
stage; third control day 6: the day after the fifth stage.). In that way the Athletes were
studied at maximal workload. The echocardiographic examinations showed a perfect
effort tolerance in all categories of Athletes. There were no abnormalities in cardiac
chambers and valves function. 2 Elite Athletes showed an echocardiographic evidence
of athlete’s heart. The data obtained emphasize the validity of the tests performed
during the annual medical evaluation in competitive Athletes. Even if the periodic
medical evaluation does not include a routine echocardiographic investigation it well
fits to the eligibility criteria of normal cardiac function and competitive sport.

Serum markers monitoring is important for well being of sport players during training
process. The aim of the study was to clarify possible parameters which may be
implemented as routine monitoring markers in sport medicine.
A number of 28 male subjects (sport amateurs) were examined at age of 25±4 years
who were exposed to 10 minute treadmill exercise (TE). The blood samples were taken
before and after TE, and after 24 hours of rest period (RP). None of the subjects used
nutritional supplements. Besides routine hematological parameters (RHP), creatine
kinase (CK), potassium (P), free radicals (D-rom) and lipid peroxidation (MDA) were
examined.
Increased value of CK was found after TE of 342±160 U/L compared to the value before
TE of 299±133 U/L (p<0.01). The value of D-rom was also found to be increased from
252±36 UCarr before TE to 274±66 UCarr after TE (p<0.01). Both values were found to
be decreased after the RP: CK (310±153 U/L) and D-rom (230±48 UCarr). No significant
differences were found in values of RHP, P and MDA before and after TE, and after RP.
Due to obtained results, we may conclude that higher CK level may correlate with
physical training condition and possible skeletal muscle damage. Higher D-rom
expressed increased free radical production during TE, which is not related to oxidative
stress. Unchanged P value is probably due to re-uptake mechanism kinetics. All
examined serum markers may give useful contribution in monitoring physiological
responses to achieve safer training programs and good health outcome.

AIM: to analyze Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (WPW) incidence and evolution in
37202 subjects checked for competition eligibility.
METHODS: basal-ECG; stress-ECG; Holter-ECG; Electrophysiologic Testing (EP: to assess
arrhythmic vulnerability); annual follow-up.
INCIDENCE: 37 subjects with WPW (0.099%); 24 WPW at first visit, 13 WPW diagnosis
during follow-up (WPW onset: 15,7±2,2years); 10 constant-WPW, 27
intermittent-WPW (3 symptomatic for SVPT, 2 for VEB).
POPULATION: 24 subjects (13 abandoned); 9 c-WPW, 15 i-WPW; divided in 2 groups:
Group-A: 13 first visit WPW (5 i-WPW, 8 c-WPW; 15,8±5,3y), 1 with VEB; Group-B: 11
WPW during follow-up (after 2,4±1,4y; 4 i-WPW, 7 c-WPW; WPW onset: 15,6±2,3y), 2
with SVPT, 1 with VEB.
EP (16,3±5,6y): 16 with low arrhythmic risk, not ablated (16,8±3,9y); 8 ablated
(15,9±5,6y; 3 Group-A, 5 Group-B; 3 c-WPW, 5 i-WPW; 3 with SVPT, 1 with VEB).
FOLLOW-UP (5,5±2,0y after diagnosis, 3-10y): 1 low risk subject showed SVPT after
stress-test, required EP (4y after first, 22y) and ablation.
ECG COMPARISON: pre-diagnosis (Group-B, normal ECG: basalHR=69±10bpm;
bPQ=0,13±0,01s); diagnosis (bHR=73±13bpm; bPQ=0,10±0,03s); end follow-up (12
normal ECG: bHR=75±12bpm; bPQ=0,14±0,01s; 9 ablated, 3 ECG normalization 18,75%; 12 WPW low risk: bHR=72±13bpm; bPQ=0,09±0,02s).
CONCLUSIONS: WPW can be absent in pre-adolescent subjects, onset appears around
14-16 years; subjects can become symptomatic before and after arrhythmic valuation;
ECG could normalized in long period; ablation is not necessary or not suitable in all
subjects, usually it was performed in post-adolescent age. It seems important to carry
out an Holter-ECG annually to ascertain competition eligibility, since intense sport
activity can overstimulate anomaly conduction.

PURPOSE: the aim of our study is to evaluate the role of the trans thoracic
echocardiography (TTE) in the early diagnosis of the isolated congenital coronary
artery anomalies (ICCAA). METHODS: from January 2000 to October 2008, in about
38.000 consecutive children, TTE was performed. In order to diagnose ICCAA, were
evaluated: size of the ostium, presence of abnormal vessel inserting or continuous
shunt both into pulmonary artery, visualization of collaterals signals within the
inter-ventricular septum. The patients were divided into two groups; patients in group
1 had minor coronary artery anomalies. Patients in group 2 had major coronary artery
anomalies. All these patients had to undergo to coronary angiography, before surgery
or coil trans-catheter embolization. RESULTS: the diagnosis of ICCAA occurred in 18
patients: 11 males and 7 females ranging in age from 6 months to 14 years mean 8.50.
Only one patient, had symptoms. Patients in group 1 (n. = 14), had little coronary
artery fistula (CAF), in pulmonary artery. Patients in group 2 (n. = 4), had major
coronary artery anomalies: 2 cases with anomalous left coronary artery from the
pulmonary artery; 1 case with large CAF in right ventricle; 1 case with large CAF
between left coronary artery and pulmonary artery. CONCLUSIONS: TTE, enables to
perform the early diagnosis of coronary artery anomalies, as well severe, but still
clinically silent, in paediatric patients. The routine TTE, primary in young athletes, can
to have a basic role in the primary prevention of ischemic heart disease.

Background: Pre-participation screening of athletes can reveal bizarre
electrocardiograms overlapping cardiac disease. Discerning the significance of these
findings is essential to prevent sudden death or diseases future to be. We wanted to
determine the prevalence and significance of T wave inversion in young athletes.
Methods: We evaluated 2261 athletes (mean age 12,4±2,5 years,range 8-18)
competing at regional level. All subjects were submitted to basal 12 leads
electrocardiogram and color Doppler echocardiogram.
Results
T wave inversion was recorded in 134 subjects (5,9 %). In right precordial leads it was
present in 128 athletes (5,6 %). In leads V1 to V2 in 89 athletes (3,9%) , 2
subjects showed Mitral valve prolapse, 2 patent foramen ovale. In leads V1 to V3 in 37
athletes (1,6%) ,1 subject showed Bicuspid aortic valve, 1 patent foramen ovale. In
leads V1 to V4 in 2 athletes (0,08 % : age 15 and 12 years old), with no evidence of
cardiac disease. In inferior leads DII-DIII-AVF in 2 or more adjacent leads T inversions
were present in 6 subjects (0,26 %), in 2 of them there was extention to lateral leads
V4 to V6 (0,08%). Of these, one with lateral extension (13 years old), presented
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Conclusions
T wave inversion is an extremely rare finding in subjects > 12 years old. The
coexistence in inferior and lateral leads is exceptional and can be the epiphenomena of
underlying cardiomyopathies requiring follow up for the possible development of
pathological phenotypes also in subjects apparently cardiomyopathy free.

Introduction: It’s quite difficult to observe important ventricle dilatation in athletes,
especially in the presence
of normal electrocardiogram. Case report: We report
a case of a 24 years old soccer player, evaluated during the annual pre participation
screening, with negative family history. He suffered from mood disorder (therapy with
Clozapine, considered cardiotoxic). For this reason he underwent echocardiogram
showing a mild left ventricle dilatation with decreased ejection fraction (49%).
According to Italian guidelines for cardiologic eligibility we performed stress test,
24-hours electrocardiogram which resulted normal. Cardiac magnetic resonance
confirmed the echocardiogram results. Echo stress demonstrated a sufficient
increasing of ejection fraction during exercise (from 45% to 65%). He was suspended
from activity asking the psychiatrist to replace clozapine with another drug. During the
years ejection fraction improved up to 55%, therefore we allowed him to practice mild,
non competitive sport. Conclusion: We emphasize the importance of medical history
and echocardiogram to implement pre participation screening at the first evaluation.

Introduction
Isolated left ventricular non-compaction (IVNC) is a rare primary cardiomyopathy,
characterized by prominent left ventricular trabeculations and deep intratrabecular
recesses in continuity with the cavity. The diagnosis is mainly made using Jenni’s
echocardiographic criteria.
Since these criteria have been defined, a lot of incidental findings of IVNC were
identified in young asymptomatic athletes, causing troubles for sport eligibility.
Materials and methods
We present 14 young asymptomatic athletes with incidental finding of IVNC during
echocardiogram performed for different reasons. Diagnosis was confirmed by
Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
According to Italian Guidelines for competitive sports participation in athletes with
cardiovascular diseases, this condition is enough to make them not eligible for
competitive sports.
Results and conclusions
The eligibility was not accorded to 9/14: 4 had left ventricular dilatation with reduction
of ejection fraction (<50%); 4, ventricular arrhythmias; 1, left bundle branch block and
paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
The other 5 patients, instead, did not show any ECG/echocardiographic alteration,
except a limited non-compaction zone. They had normal left ventricular dimensions,
ejection fraction and diastolic function. Moreover, they did not present any
arrhythmias or symptoms.
Are they really cardiopathic?
We think not, because the IVNC diagnostic criteria are based only on morphological
ventricular alterations but do not consider clinical and functional parameters.
Therefore, we have allowed them to play at competitive levels and we have started a
three-month follow-up.
Further studies are needed to determine if these cases are a preclinical stage of IVNC,
an IVNC “benign” pattern or healthy hearts with prominent trabeculations.

The optimum management of children with ventricular preexcitation is not known, but
evaluation by an electrophysiological study before allowing participation in
moderate-to-severe high intensity competitive sport is recommended. OBJECTIVES. To
compare the electrophysiological characteristics of children with WPW syndrome and
children with asymptomatic ventricular preexcitation. MATERIALS AND METHODS.
Transesophageal atrial pacing, both at baseline condition and during isoproterenol
infusion or exercise testing, was performed in 44 symptomatic (mean age 10.5 years)
and 57 asymptomatic (mean age 12.3 years, P <0.001) consecutive children with
ventricular preexcitation .RESULTS. In baseline conditions, atrioventricular reentrant
tachycardia was induced in 9 (20.5%) symptomatic and in 6 asymptomatic patients
(10.5%, p NS); atrial fibrillation was induced in 12 (27.3%) symptomatic and in 12 (21%,
p NS) asymptomatic patients. A minimum preexcited RR interval <250 ms during
atrial fibrillation was present in 2 symptomatic (16.6%) and in 4 asymptomatic patients
(33.3%, p NS). During isoproterenol infusion/exercise test, atrioventricular reentrant
tachycardia was induced in 28 symptomatic (73.7%) and in 20 (37% of the 54 patients
studied, p <0.001) asymptomatic patients; atrial fibrillation was induced in 9
symptomatic (23.7%) in 18 asymptomatic (33.3%, p NS). A minimum preexcited RR
interval <210 ms was present in 5 symptomatic (55.5 %) and in 6 (33.3 %, p NS)
asymptomatic patients. CONCLUSION. Atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia is more
inducible in symptomatic children with ventricular preexcitation than in asymptomatic
ones, but, between these two groups, there is no difference in term of atrial
vulnerability and parameters related to the risk of sudden death

Objective: To determine the effect of intensive sports activity on Bone Mineral Density
of young male handball athletes.
Design and methods: 16 male athletes all members of the Hellenic Handball National
Junior Team aged from 17 to 21. BMD was measured by dual energy X-ray
absorptiometry (DEXA) using Hologic QDR-instrument at the lumbar spines (L1-L4).
First measurement was made one day before the beginning of the preseason training
camp and the second a day after the last preseason training. All athletes followed the
same training program.
Results: At the first measurement the athletes had a BMD mean value 1.344 ± 0.451
while at the second 1.361 ± 0.386.
Conclusions: The majority of the athletes (68.75%) had an increase of their BMD value
proving that the characteristics of handball have high positive osteogenic effects.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether sports medicine physicians can be taught to use
focused echocardiography to obtain measurements pertinent to hypertrophic
cardiomyopathy.
DESIGN AND METHOD: Thirty male collegiate athletes, aged 18-21, were prospectively
enrolled. Focused, portable echocardiography was performed by a sports medicine
physician and a physician in training, followed by formal echocardiography within two
weeks by a registered sonographer. A left parasternal long-axis view was acquired to
measure three dimensions in end-diastole: 1) interventricular septal wall, 2) left
ventricular internal diameter, and 3) left ventricular posterior wall.
RESULTS: Intraclass correlation coefficients between the sports medicine physician
and the sonographer were strong: 0.77 for interventricular septal wall, 0.73 for left
ventricular internal diameter, and 0.64 for left ventricular posterior wall. These
correlation coefficients were comparable to those found in studies comparing portable
and formal echocardiography between sonographers.
Correlation coefficients
between measurements by the physician in training and sonographer were
strong-to-moderate: 0.61 for interventricular septal wall, 0.62 for left ventricular
internal diameter, and 0.63 for left ventricular posterior wall. Across all three
readers, intraclass correlation coefficients calculations were 0.77 for interventricular
septal wall, 0.81 for left ventricular internal diameter, and 0.75 for left ventricular
posterior wall. This indicated strong interrater agreement.
CONCLUSION: With appropriate training, sports medicine physicians can obtain
measurements through focused echocardiography that are relevant to hypertrophic
cardiomyopathy and close to the gold standard. With further research and
validation, a focused echocardiography protocol could serve as the basis for a novel
screening approach to detect hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in athletes.

Aim: To present the impact of preoperative physiotherapy on returning to play after
shoulder arthroscopy in overhead athletes.
Materials and Methods: Thirty two overhead athletes (mean age: 27 years old)
received arthroscopic surgery for rotator cuff tear. Patients were divided in two
subgroups of sixteen patients each. Patients in both groups received a common
postoperative rehabilitation of intermediate mobilization, while patients in group A
received preoperative physiotherapy for improving range of motion and
strengthening.. There were no significant differences concerning various parameters,
between the two groups.
Results: A painful stiffness was present in two patients of group A and in five patients
of group B on 6th postoperative month, and in none and two patients respectively on
12th postoperative month. In the same period, patients of group A presented a mean
UCLA score of 31 and a mean Constant Shoulder score of 88, where as patients of
group B presented mean scores of 29 and 74 respectively. Twelve patients (75%) of
group A and eight patients (50%) of group B were able to return to the previous level
of vigorous sports activities on the 6th postoperative month. On the 12th
postoperative month, there were no significant differences between groups A and B,
concerning outcome scores and returning to pre-injury level of sports activities.
Conclusions: Preoperative physiotherapy resulted in faster recovery and return to play
after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair in overhead athletes on 6th postoperative month.
There was no significant impact on longer postoperative periods.

Body
Nowadays sporting activity accompanies most people during all ages of life. Athletes
who previously underwent cardiac surgery almost always lose the opportunity to
regain eligibility for competitive sports and even for sporting activities. In our study we
have considered subjects, aged between 16 and 82 years, who required reparative or
substitutive heart surgery between January 2001 and December 2011. In particular we
have considered the patients who have undergone reparative surgery of the aortic
valve with no prosthetic valve implant, a gold standard surgery in our division. All
subjects underwent preoperative echocardiography and most of them hemodynamic
study. Three months after surgery all of them were studied with an ECG, an
Echocardiogram, a Holter, an Exercise ECG Test and had clinical evaluation. None of
the subjects took prohibited drugs according to WADA rules, or oral anticoagulant
therapy. Among 211 patients between 17 and 79 years who underwent reparative
aortic procedures, 32 were non-competitive and 4 were competitive Athletes. In this
group 159 subjects had clinical and instrumental criteria for practice of a competitive
sports (in accordance with Italian COCIS protocols).The current heart surgery and
especially aortic valve reparative surgery return to sport a huge number of cardiac
patients that in the early past were not able to meet the standard criteria of eligibility
for sporting competitive and non-competitive activities.

Aim: In the absence of shared international guidelines of rehabilitation in the
muscle-skeletal field, the present work intends demonstrating the utility of employing
in muscle-skeletal pathologies, natural substances and functional methods .
Materials and Methods: Two groups of athletes with muscle-skeletal pathologies have
been followed and both of them underwent case history, functional clinical
examination and ultrasound scan.
A traditional pharmacological-rehabilitation path was prescribed to the first group,
whereas the second group was prescribed a collagen local injection along with some
stretching.
After the therapy ultrasound monitoring was made.
Results: The monitoring underscored a clinical recovery faster than the one of the
examination group, a quicker sport recovery and less relapses.
Conclusions: The rational association of natural methods can be taken into
consideration for the purposes of rehabilitation paths both in the sports and other
fields, avoiding medicines side effects on the one hand and achieving better results on
the other.

Exercise counters the increase risk for chronic cardio-metabolic diseases produced by
obesity. The related mechanisms are multifarious and among them the autonomic
nervous system may play a role. We address the hypothesis that overweight might
influence autonomic nervous system performance even in physically active children.
We study a group of 103 (age 11.2±1yrs) young male soccer players ,( soccer time: 5.5
hours/week). Autonomic nervous system is evaluated by autoregressive spectral
analysis of HR and SAP variabilities. We also quantify the week time spent walking or
doing moderate or vigorous exercise and estimate accumulated METs and week time
spent in sedentary activities. We subdivide the total population in two groups as per
BMI centiles (normal weight: n=92, age 11.1±1yrs; overweight: n= 11, age 10.7±1yrs).
Results show that young overweight soccer players are characterized, as compared to
normoweight players, by increased systolic arterial pressure (113±4 vs 100±1 mmHg),
increased marker of sympathetic modulation to the vasculature (12±3 vs 4.5±1
mmHg2) and a reduced gain of overall baroreflex mechanisms (19±3 vs 33±3
msec/mmHg) (all reported differences are significant p<0.02), suggesting an
altered autonomic control of the circulation.
We observe a significant (r=0.486, p<0.001) correlation between total sedentary time
and body weight.
These findings suggest that playing soccer alone is not sufficient to counteract the
harmful autonomic effects of overweight in young soccer players, and that a more
integrated approach, focused on reducing sedentary time and healthy nutrition, should
be introduced in routine training in order to improve the well-known beneficial effect
of structured exercise.

Open-water swimming is an endurance sport that requires continuous disposable
energy; so it is important to clarify the metabolic substrates utilized in open water
swim to determinate the most optimal feeding during competition.
The aim of this study is to identify the biochemical changes during long time training in
Mexican swimmers that were trained for attempting to swim the English Channel.
Three well-trained open-water swimmers participate in 8-hour training in a cold-water
lake (18ºC). Blood samples were taken from central vessels at the beginning, 2, 4, 6
and 8 hours during the training. They had a drink with the same feeding compose
containing carbohydrates and protein with a 4:1 ratio. The blood samples were
centrifuged immediately and glucose, urea, CK, creatinine, triglycerides, cholesterol,
HDL cholesterol and uric acid were measure in a Reflotron Plus by Roche. There was an
association between glucose and triglycerides levels vs. time that permits to estimate
the energy substrate used during the swimming. The protein metabolism markers
(urea, ck) were increased but they did not reach levels that indicate their use as an
energy substrate; one of the swimmers was a higher responder of CK. The aerobic
characteristic of this sport is evident since HDL cholesterol levels reach the higher
range that the instrument can measure (100 mg/dL).

Objective
Both powerlifting and strongman as sports involve lifting heavy weights and often
awkward implements very different to normal weight-training. These unique
circumstances can lead to common and potentially serious injury. Despite this, the
data on injuries sustained during training and competing is lacking. We aimed to
define the type of injury and injury rate to allow comparisons to be drawn with
different sports.
Design and method
An anonymous online short survey was distributed on a popular online
strongman/power-lifting forum viewed by lifters varying from amateur to international
athletes.
Results
106 responses were obtained with a mean age of 27.6 years. A large majority
(72.8%) had competed at either sport. The mean time spent training was 35.9 months
for a mean of 7.7hours per week. A total 166 injuries, defined as causing time off
training, work or competition, were sustained. Only 18.9% (n=20) of the responders
remained totally injury free. The injuries sustained equated to 10.3 per 1000 hours
trained although when minor injuries (only requiring adjustment to training rather
than time off) such as tendonitis, minor muscle pulls and strains were removed this
was reduced to 4.5 injuries per 1000 hours. Performance enhancing drug use was 26%
among respondents.
Conclusions
The results show the injury rate is extremely high in the sport, which is previously
undocumented. There are a number of factors that could cause this and they include
the nature of the sports (heavy and awkward equipment), lack of
supervision/instruction during training and a relatively high proportion of PED use.

Introduction: following a fall, the subject hanging on the harness and waiting for
rescue may incur into the risk of a lethal multivisceral hypoxia distress due to
orthostatic stasis named “suspension trauma”. To this condition are exposed all the
workers involved in work at height. Purpose: evaluate by non-invasive methods if the
aerobic fitness and/or experience in harness use relate to the risk of developing
suspension trauma. Methods: forty adults (mean±st.dev: age 39.1±8.2; body mass
index 24.2±3.03; 85% males, 15% females) were enrolled: 16 were regular users of
harness, 14 regularly involved in physical training but were not users of harness and 10
controls. Each subjects underwent: a) an incremental exercise test on treadmill until
exhaustion; b) a motionless suspension test until medical signs of orthostatic
intolerance appeared or extreme subject discomfort was reported (suspension time
recorded). Oxygen uptake, heart rate and blood pressure were measured, as well as
brain oxygenation status by near-infrared spectroscopy. Results: No difference in the
mean suspension time was found in the 3 groups (average of all participants 28.7±11.4
min (range 8-56), coefficient of variation 40%). No correlation was found between the
level of aerobic fitness and suspension time. A decrease in brain oxygenation was
evident in all participants before the development of signs of pre-syncope. Conclusion:
the experience in use of harness and the aerobic fitness do not correlate with the
suspension time and thus the onset of developing suspension trauma. Reference:

OBJECTIVE
Determine and describe the behavior of fat percentage and Body Mass Index in two
school populations, with different level of physical activity.
DESIGN AND METHODS
A study, observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, which consisted of an
anthropometric assessment to determine the fat percentage and body mass index at
school athletes and nonathletes, aged between 7 and 17. Estimating the percentage
of body fat with the main equations used in the age range described. Comparison of
percent body fat was performed using T tests for independent samples, considering
difference between groups when p <0.05.
RESULTS
The sample consisted of 252 school athletes and 67 non-athletes. The comparison of
percent body fat between groups by age and sex, shows significant difference (<0.005)
in group age of 10 and 12 years, with most affected males. Stratification by body mass
index percentile presented no significant difference between groups, but the group of
non-athletes had the highest number of subjects at risk of obesity and obesity.
CONCLUSIONS
The results obtained demonstrate that physical activity aimed at a high level of
competition is an important factor to maintain a body mass index in percentiles and
percentage of fat normally. Was determined that there is also significant difference in
fat percentage between male athletes and nonathletes, this results infers that physical
activity provided by the basic education system in Mexico is insufficient to maintain a
healthy body fat percentage and body mass index percentile in normal range. The
high body fat in childhood increases the cardiovascular disease and metabolic
diseasesin adulthood.

Definition
Rapid submaximal cardiovascular motor skills test for adolescent athletes.
Procedure
Subjects are required to perform a strenuous exercise for 1 minute 20 seconds by
running on the spot, raising the knees bringing the thigh up to a horizontal position at
each step, at a rate of 2 steps per second.
Evaluation
Heart rate is measured after the test and is then assessed using the IRI index of
physical fitness.
After 1 minute the heartbeat is measured for 30 seconds. The following calculation is
applied:
12000/(5.5 × number of beats counted)
Advantages
- The Nittoli Skip Test can be conducted much more quickly than the conventional step
test, with consequent significant time saving. If we compare the 5-minute total
procedure time of the Nittoli Skip Test to the 30-minute total procedure time for the
conventional step test we observe an extraordinary time saving of about 83%.
- The test is simple to administer.
- No equipment is required.
Research Proof
- Results from the Nittoli Skip Test have been demonstrated to be identical to those
from similar fitness tests (e.g. step test).
E.g. In a controlled comparison between Step and Skip tests: BP 140/90; HB at rest 85;
Step 130: IRI 56.4 (58); Skip 135: IRI 54.4 (60).

Introduction: Contact sports provide players more opportunity Staphylococcus aureus
(SA) for infections due to skin trauma from turf burns, shaving, and contact with
secretions and body fluids. SA is spread via direct contact with persons and contact via
environmental surfaces. However, there are some variations in risk of SA infections
among the contact sports. In this study, we clearly defined American football and other
contact sports based on nasal carrier of SA.
Methods: Athletes participating in the Tsukuba University American football (N = 43),
rugby (N= 69) and Judo (N = 57) were invited to participate in the study. we obtained
swab specimens from the anterior nares of all athletes and environmental surface at
each month. Rotaed the swab in the anterior nares, placing the swabs in PBS, and
promptly delivering them to the laboratory. An aliquot was plated onto paired
mannitol Compact Dry X-SA (CD-XSA; Nissui Pharmaceutical). Each sample were
cultured on CD-XSA for 24h at 35C.
Results and Conclusions: From July 2011 through December 2011, a total of 555 nasal
swabs from 148 athletes were positive for SA. At any one time, SA nasal colonization
rate ranged from 34-56% (American football), 10-25% (Rugby football), 17-20% (Judo).
These results demonstrated as follow: 1) Rate of nasal colonization of SA was differ
among contact sports athletes. 2) During the athletic season, there is considerable
burden of SA colonization in American football and Rugby athletes. 3) Strengthening
and conditioning equipments of proper disinfection may have contributed to SA
infection.

Aim: Paraoxonase is an antioxidant enzyme, occurring in high density lypoprotein
(HDL), has both paraoxonase (PON1) and arylesterase (AE) activities. It is unclear the
effects of long term swimming season on these enzyme activities. We aimed to
investigate the effects of training (TP), detraining (DTP) and retraining periods (RTP) of
one complete swimming season on
PON1 and AE activities in swimmers.
Materials and Methods: 19 trained, healthy and 10-12 years old male swimmers are
joined the study. Three measurements sessions were planned. The initial
measurement session (TP) was realized 4 days after Turkish National Swimming
Championship which is held at the end of swimming season, following measurement
session was conducted after two months of detraining period (DTP) and the last
measurement was done after the first 8 weeks training period subsequent swimming
season (RTP). Blood PON1, salt-stimulated PON1 (SSPON1) and AE activities and
HDL-C levels as biochemical parameters were analyzed after an overnight starvation at
the end of TP, DTP and RTP. The statistics (p<0,05) value was accepted as a signifance
level.
Results: Blood PON1 and SSPON1 activities did not changed from TP to RTP, while AE
activity deacreased by DTP and recovered to TP values after RTP. These undulations in
AE activity were independent from HDL cholesterol. Blood HDL-C was not changed by
DTP, but significantly decreased by RTP. There was no correlation between HDL-C with
PON1 and AE activities.
Conclusions:
PON1 and SSPON1 enzyme activities seems unaffected from training status. Detraining
may diminish AE enzyme activity while retraining seems to have a recovering effect,
HDL-C levels was decreased by retraining period. An unindependency in AE activity and
HDL-C levels variations were observed.

This nation-wide study evaluated whether the incidence of football injuries in
Belgium have changed over the past ten-year period as well the influence of possible
prognosticators for football injuries.
The database of the national Belgian Football Association, representing 416,000
football players was searched for all injury reports. The injury data from season
99-00 and season 09-10 were recorded and compared for incidence of injuries, type of
injury, and timing of injury.
In season 99-00 there were 417,462 players and a total of 31,493 injuries were
reported, with an average of 0.075 injuries per player per. In season 09-10, 415,934
players were member, with a total of 24,280 injuries . The average number of injuries
per player per season was significantly lower in 09-10 (0.058), a reduction of 23%
compared to the first season. Gender was an important risk factor with a significantly
lower relative risk in female players and top level players in the National
competition had a significantly lower relative risk compared to amateur level players.
The mean age of all players was 21.8 years, with a significantly lower risk for youth
players compared to adult players. The vast majority (65%) of injuries occurred during
competition, whereas 35% occurred during training activities.
Despite the proposed increase in sportive and financial pressure, contemporary
football inflicts fewer injuries in Belgian football compared to one decade ago.
Possible explanations for this positive trend are a good prevention program (the FIFA
11+ program), better medical care and renewed postponement policy by the football
association

Objective
This study was designed to evaluate the prevalence of Anabolic Steroids (A.S) and
illicit drug abuse among male bodybuilders in Tehran gyms and to assess the effect of
different factors such as demographic situation of the gyms, socio-economic situations,
psychological well being and body image of bodybuilders on the substance abuse.
Design and Method
The results of a preliminary observational study, researcher`s experience and
literature review, all helped to outline the theories and questions of this study. Based
on random sampling, 930 bodybuilders were selected. The data is gathered based on a
designated questionnaire and two other ones prepared to assess the body image and
mental health .Data analysis is done by SPSS software.
Results
A.S and illicit drug abuse were reported in 16/7% and 26/5% of bodybuilders
respectively. Amphetamine was reported as the most commonly abused illicit drug.
Based on the results of this study, illicit drug abuse is related to education, income,
number of family members, motivation, and lack of self confidence. A.S abusers are
more prone to illicit drug abuse. Monthly income and length of going to a gym, having
a job and motivations affect A.S abuse.
Conclusions
This study shows a high prevalence of A.S and illicit drug abuse among bodybuilders in
Tehran. It seems that poor knowledge about the side effects of these drugs, incorrect
propaganda on their positive effects and the availability of different kinds of
supplements are among the effective factors for growing rate of A.S and illicit drug
abuse in the gyms.

Introduction: The use of different banned substances such as narcotic, psychoactive
and ergogenic drugs as a social problem has created different levels of concern in
many societies (1, 2). The aim of this study was to determine risk factor associate with
drug abuse (ergogenic aid, narcotics and psychoactive drugs) among university
students.
Materials and Methods: The statistical of this descriptive survey that was performed by
financial support of Governor's office in Qom was all university students of Ghom city.
By the help of cluster sampling we distributed 870 self reported questionnaires
between Statistical population, that after eliminating incomplete questionnaires the
number of 720 questionnaires were coded and analyzed by SPSS software at two levels
of descriptive (mean and std) and inferential (X2 tests, analysis of variance and
stepwise regression analysis) statistics.
Results: analysis of survey results showed that drug abuse has significant relationship
with sex, use of ergogenic substances, father job, student life along with the family,
prior knowledge of the drug, parent education level and unemployment for individual.
Conclusion: This study showed that using drug abuse among university students is an
undeniable fact, and if not paid attention by the authorities and managers in this field,
it can impose increasing harms on Iranian students.

Objective: Phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors may influence human
physiology, health and performance by also modulating endocrine pathways. We
evaluated the effects of a two-days tadalafil administration on adenohypophyseal and
adrenal hormones adaptation to exercise in humans. Design and Methods: 14 males
were included in a double blind crossover trial. Each volunteer randomly received two
tablets of placebo or tadalafil (20 mg/die with 36 h of interval) before a maximal
exercise was performed. After a two-week washout, the volunteers were crossed over.
Blood samples were collected -30, -15 min and immediately before exercise,
immediately after, and during recovery (+15, +30, +60 and +90 min) for
adrenocorticotropin (ACTH), growth hormone (GH), prolactin (PRL), cortisol (C),
cortisol binding globulin (CBG) and testosterone assays. C/CBG (free cortisol index, FCI)
ratio was calculated. Exercise intensity, perceived exertion rate, O2 consumption, CO2
and blood lactate concentration were evaluated. Results: ACTH, GH, C, CBG and
testosterone absolute concentrations and/or areas under curve (AUC) increased after
exercise after both placebo and tadalafil. Compared to placebo, tadalafil
administration reduced the ACTH, C and FCI responses to exercise without
influencing cardio-respiratory and performance parameters. Conclusion: Tadalafil
reduced the activation of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis during exercise by
probably influencing brain’s nitric oxide-cyclic guanosine monophosphate mediated
pathways. Moreover, because of testosterone decrease more rapidly after tadalafil
than after placebo administration, tadalafil seemed to influence testosterone
utilization in peripheral tissues. Further studies are necessary to confirm our results
and to identify the involved mechanisms, possible health risks and potential clinical
uses.

Substance abuse represents a phenomenon widely studied by the scientific community
and contrasted by the Institutions. In a biopsychosocial perspective, this event is the
result of medical, psychological and social factors. These studies integrated medical
and psychosocial investigations about the substance abuse in an Italian population of
athletes.
In the first study 299 athletes that came at the Center of Sport Medicine for the visit of
sport eligibility were analyzed to identify traces of prohibited substances. Athletes
were analyzed in terms of age, gender and sport. In the second study, 150 athletes
completed a questionnaire about doping attitude and individual characteristics (level
of perfectionism, life satisfaction, motivation). The scores of doping attitude were
correlated to psychosocial variables.
Considering the first study, 7% of athletes (N=22) was positive to prohibited
substances. Cycling (N=6) represented the sport with more athletes with traces of
substances. Benzodiazepines (N=10) and cannabinoids (N=10) were the most frequent
substances. The majority of positive athletes were males (82%): athletes between
20-30 and 40-50 years were the most frequent consumers. Data of the second study
showed a relation between doping attitude and perfectionism (r =.46 p<.001): male
athletes have more aptitude to substance consumption than female (F=6,4 p<.05).
Agonistics athletes have also more tolerance to behaviors of substance consumption
(F=6,8 p<.05). No differences were found among athletes of different sports.
Typology of sport, age, gender, traits of perfectionism, involvement in agonistic
activities represent variables related to the consumption or the attitude toward the
consumption of prohibited substances.

Body
Myocardial bridging, a congenital coronary anomaly, is a clinical condition with several
possible manifestations, and its clinical relevance is debated; because myocardial
bridging is a common finding at autopsy of normal subjects, it had been thought to be
a benign anatomic variation; because myocardial perfusion occurs in diastole,
myocardial bridging with systolic milking should therefore not impair myocardial
perfusion. However, this physiology-based evidence is contradicted by a small minority
of cases of cardiac events, in individuals with pathological findings none other than a
myocardial bridging.
Here we present a case of a 30 year-old male professional athlete who underwent
invasive coronary angiography because of chest pain and ST-segment elevation in the
right chest leads with normal systolic function by two-dimensional echocardiography;
invasive coronary angiography showed an epicardial coronary tree free from significant
disease but was able to identify myocardial bridging in the proximal segment of the left
anterior descending artery
We considered that heavy sports might be a potential trigger for cardiac events in a
professional athlete without any risk factors for coronary artery disease; therefore
special attention should be paid to this kind of athlete who commonly takes part in
intensive physical and skill training in his daily work.

Various approaches are used for performance prediction from laboratory based
exercise testing. Lactate threshold analyses aim to describe aerobic exercise capacity
and can predict mean competition speed in runners. Maximal lactate increase (MLI) in
exercise tests is commonly attributed to motivational aspects and anaerobic capacity.
The present study intends to display whether MLI can independently contribute to
predict peak velocity (Vpeak) in a graded treadmill exercise test.
We retrospectively analyzed 5557 graded exercise treadmill tests (initial load 6 km/h,
increment 2 km/h, interval 3 min) with lactate analysis (EBioplus, Eppendorf, Germany)
conducted in our laboratory from 2002-2008. 121 male subjects with Vpeak of at least
20 km/h were identified. Vpeak cut-off was chosen to limit motivational bias. Lactate
kinetics (lactate-, 4mmol- and individual anaerobic thresholds (IAT)) and respective
power outputs (P4mmol, PIAT) were calculated. MLI was calculated as the difference
between maximal lactate value and lactate at the LT. Linear regression was used for
statistical analysis (alpha level=0.05).
Solely, MLI did not predict Vpeak (R²=0.02, p=0.16). Together with PIAT or P4mmol,
MLI improved prediction of Vpeak (R²Vpeak|PIAT=0.21; R²Vpeak|PIAT,MLI=0.48)
whilst being negatively associated with PIAT (R²=0.38, p<0.01) and p4mmol (R²=0.44,
p<0.01).
MLI does not independently predict Vpeak in a highly trained collective. Together with
indicators of aerobic capacity, MLI improves Vpeak prediction remarkably. In highly
trained subjects, there appears a dichotomy between those who feature high aerobic
capacity but are unable to generate high lactate levels and those who are able to
produce higher lactate through anaerobic metabolism whilst featuring less aerobic
capacity.

Objective
The aim of this study was to demonstrate and compare physiological performance
and different anaerobic threshold determination methods in elite junior rowers. 18
rowers participated in this study voluntarily (age 17.38±0.6 years).
Design and Method
Besides the measurements of height and weight, subjects performed 2000 meter
maximal rowing ergometer test and incremental rowing ergometer test, rowing
specific anerobic power and back, leg and arm strength tests. The incremental test
consists of 7 progressive stages of 4 minutes with 1 minute rest intervals. Blood
samples for lactate analysis were collected at rest. Oxygen uptake kinetics also
measured via ergospirometer during the test.
Results
Results of Pearson product moment correlations indicated that significant
relationships between the values of r=0.85 and r=0.99 were determined in absolute
and relative VO2, power and workload at ventilatory threshold and 4 mmol/L
anaerobic threshold (p<0.01).
Conclusions
As a conclusion workload, power, strength and oxygen consumption at 4 mmol/L
anaerobic and ventilatory thresholds seemed to share an important part in rowing
ergometer performance; besides given into consideration of the high relationship
between different anaerobic threshold determination methods, noninvasive
determination of anaerobic threshold with the use of gas exchange parameters seems
to be valid and useful alternative to determination of anaerobic threshold in junior
rowers. When a significant relationship between anaerobic power, strength and
performance is taken into consideration, it seems clear that physiological determinants
which affected by anaerobic energy pathways should also get involve in the
determination of performance and talent identification processes for rowing.

Aim: To compare the patterns of the speed/oxygen consumption (S/VO2) and
speed/heart rate (S/HR) relationship during maximal incremental running test in rugby
players, and to evaluate the occurrence of an oxygen consumption deflection point
(VO2def) coinciding with the heart rate deflection point (HRdef).
Subjects and methods: Eighteen professional male rugby players performed a maximal
incremental treadmill cardiopulmonary test. The oxygen uptake as a function of speed
was determined and the S/VO2 as well as the S/HR relationships were mathematically
analyzed.
Results: The S/VO2 relationships obtained were linear up to submaximal exercise
intensity and curvilinear thereafter and thus describing a VO2 flattening (VO2def). In
11 of 18 athletes a VO2def and a HRdef were determined. The slope of the VO2/S
relationship up to VO2def was significantly higher than that above VO2def (341±52
ml/min/km/h vs 242±69 ml/min/km/h, P<0.0001). The S values at VO2def (12.3±1.0
km/h) and HRdef (12.4 ± 0.9 km/h) were strongly correlated (R=0.92, P<0.0001) and in
good concordance (limits of agreement from -0.7 to 0.8 km/h, Bland-Altman analysis).
Conclusion: A VO2def coinciding with HRdef was shown in the most part of cases.
These results demonstrate that exercise intensity above HRdef is at least partially
independent by the aerobic mechanism of ATP re-synthesis, providing evidence that
the determination of the S/HR relationship and HRdef could be a practical and
non-invasive means of identifying the transition to anaerobic mechanisms in rugby
players.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of 5 weeks of RMET by means of Spirotiger® on
respiratory function and exercise performance in triathletes.
Design and Method: 15 male (M) triathletes were allocated in 2 groups: RMET (10M)
and Control (5M) group.
At baseline (T0), and after 5 weeks (T1), athletes underwent maximal inspiratory
pressure (MIP), maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV) and exercise tests (maximal
incremental and endurance cardiopulmonary tests performed with both cycle
ergometer and treadmill). RMET group trained at home 5 weeks: 20 min daily at the
same ventilation level measured at the respiratory compensation point during
incremental test.
Between T0-T1 subjects maintained the same level of daily physical activity.
Result: No change was found in control group (data not reported).
In RMET group MIP (T0: 93±29; T1: 97±25 cmH2O*) and MVV (T0: 213±17; T1: 231±18
l/min*) increased.
Incremental test: maximum watt on cycle ergometer (T0: 389±106; T1: 429±119 watt*)
and maximum speed on treadmill (T0: 18±2; T1: 19±2 Km/h*) increased.
The trend of oxygen consumption (VO2), ventilation (VE) and respiratory rate (RR)
showed values lower after RMET.
The dyspnea Borg score during endurance tests on treadmill (T0: 7,2/10; T1: 6,5/10*)
and on cycle ergometer (T0: 7,3/10; T1: 6,7/10*) showed a lower score; VE no change.
(*p<0,05; ANOVA and T test)
Conclusion: RMET significantly improves MIP and MVV in triathletes and increases
exercise performance. Furthermore the VE becomes more efficient as shown by the
reduction of VE, RR, the dyspnea Borg score and by a lower trend of VO2 during
incremental test.

PURPOSE
The acceleration phases during a soccer match lead to an increase of the energy cost
of running of about 20% on average over that observed at constant speed (C. Osgnach
et al. Med Sci Sports Exerc. 2010). Nevertheless, this last represents an important
baseline setting the overall energy expenditure during the match. Therefore, the aim
of this study was to measure of the energy cost of running (Cr) on flat terrain in
professional soccer players before (July) and during (December) a competitive season.
METHODS
Cr was measured during a 6 minutes run at constant speed on a treadmill (10 km/h) by
a portable metabolimeter (K4b2, Cosmed, Italy) on 40 professional soccer (serie A)
players: 17 senior (27±4 yr, 75.8±5.0 kg, 1.80±0.06 m) and 23 young (17.7±0.6 yr,
71.4±6.3 kg, 1.75±0.06 m) before and during the season.
RESULTS
Cr in senior players was 4.31±0.38 J/kg/m before and 5.12±0.43 J/kg/m during the
season with an increase of 13.46%; in young players it was 4.22±0.4 J/kg/m before and
4.48±0.31 J/kg/m during the season with an increase of 7.06%.
CONCLUSIONS
Cr in professional soccer players is higher than that reported by various authors in
medium and long-distance runners and increases significantly during the season. This
increase is probably due to the continuous accelerations and decelerations occurring
during the matches. This causes a worse running economy at constant speed because
the latter is unspecific for soccer players performance.

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to determine the physiological and biomechanical
profiles of elite and sub elite Italian male field hockey players.
METHODS
Twelve elite and ten sub elite male hockey players (age: 25.1±3.8 and 22.1 ±3.4 years,
mass: 70.3±2.6 and 66.7 ±5.6 kg, height: 1.74±5.2 and 1.72 ±1.8 m respectively)
participated to the study. Six matches performed at international (3) and national level
(3) were analyzed by the means of GPS SPI Elite device and Polar cardio frequency
meters.
RESULTS
The mean total distance covered by each individual player was 7062±1015m (elite
players) and 6186±997m. (sub elite players); the estimated mean total distance
covered for 70 min was 8553±419m and 8067±609m respectively. The acceleration
(n=256±21 and 231±26) and deceleration events (n=256±20 and 233±27) were also
computed. Mean maximal heart rate (%HRmax) was 84.5±3.7% HRmax and 83.1±4.3%
HRmax respectively.
CONCLUSIONS
Comparisons made between elite and sub elite Italian hockey players and other
international elite players showed slight differences (p=ns) both in running demands
and in heart rates. The results suggest that modern elite field hockey is a physically
demanding team sport, although the difference of qualification rely probably more on
the technical and tactical sides of the performance than the physiological one.

Physical conditioning in competitive athletes induces cardiovascular adaptation
including lower resting heart rate (increased vagal tone) and increased cardiac mass
and volume as a consequence of increased demand on the cardiovascular system,
called ‘‘athlete’s heart’’, a physiological compensatory mechanism that reverses in
most cases following the termination of sports activities. The Pulse pressure, surrogate
measures of arterial stiffness, is simply the difference between systolic and diastolic
pressures, and depends on the cardiac output, large-artery stiffness and wave
reflection. We investigated a relation of Hearth Rate with Pulse Pressure in a
unselected population of athletes. We assessed a population of 2.608 subjects [2.133
(81 %) males, age 28,74±7,76 years, BMI 23,68±2,3 Kg/m²], prospectively examined in
Sport Medicine Clinics. In our study we find that Hearth Rate (HR) is inversely
correlated with Pulse Pressure (r= - 0,479, P=0,000). We divided our population into
two groups: HR < 60 min (n=990) and HR > 60 min (n= 1.618). There was no
significant difference in BMI, age and gender. Pulse Pressure were significantly greater
among
athletes with HR<60 min, than among controls (52,02±4,29 mmHg vs
44,41±5,52 mmHg; P<0,000). Certainly our results need confirmation with prospective
studies, but this study could open the way to perform other investigations to better
explore the correlation between arterial stiffness and athlete’s hearth.

Description:
Soccer requires a monopodalic posture to perform different technical movements,
therefore, footballers' postural control should be evaluated in a unipedal stance to
respect the specific conditions of soccer¹. The main purpose is to compare balance
control in one-legged between the dominant and nondominant limb of soccer players
and to analyse if there are different values between experts and young footballers in
balance control in one-legged.
Material and Methods:
38 soccer players were tested. 20 Experts Players (25±2 years) 18 Young Players (16±1
years). All subjects underwent a postural balance control measurement through the
Lizard® platform. Dependent variable was the surface area center-of-pressure. The
measurements were taken in in monopodalic stance (dominant and nondominant
limb) lasting 10 seconds. Every test with Open Eyes and with Closed Eyes.
Results: In monopodalic some meaningful differences were found (P<0.05) between
Open Eyes and Closed Eyes conditions for all footballers; besides, in this case, no
differences were registered between dominant and nondominant limb (P>0.05).
Furthermore, Expert Players present Area values that are lower than those showed by
Young Players, no matter if in Open or in Closed Eyes conditions (P<0.05).
Conclusions: Expert Players in comparison to Young Players are less dependent on
the visual system. Due to a more developed proprioceptive system, have better
control. In all footballers the results revealed no differencces between dominant and
nondominant limb in balance ability in one-legged¹.

Description: Sport training seems to help the athlete to select those strategies of
postural balance control that result more effective. This aspect explains how football
modifies the strategies of postural balance control. The purpose is to find out if there
are differences in postural control between young and old footballers.
Material and Methods: 318 soccer players were tested. 176 Young Players (16±1 years)
and 141 Professional Players (27±5 years), all playing in the Italian First Division teams.
All subjects underwent a postural balance control measurement through the Lizard®
platform. Dependent variable was the surface area center-of-pressure. The
measurements were taken in bipodalic stance lasting 51,2 seconds. Every test was
taken with Open Eyes and with Closed Eyes.
Results: Young Players showed, in bipodalic, a significant difference between Open
Eyes (144±88 mm²) and Closed Eyes (202± 115 mm²) (P<0.01), while among
Professionals no difference was shown. Comparing Young Players and Professionals in
Open Eyes conditions, no differences were found, while in Eyes Closed condition,
Professionals showed a smaller Area (148± 75 mm²) than the one registered in Young
Players (202± 115 mm²) (P<0.05).
Conclusions: Professionals in comparison to Young Players are less dependent on the
visual system for postural balance control. Probably due to a more developed
proprioceptive system. They use instead their eyesight to process all the other
information about the game they are playing¹.

Objective
This study examined the relationship between 60-min running performance and
several physiological parameters [VO2max, speeds at VO2max and at ventilatory
threshold (VT), running economy, and heart rate at VT].
Design and Method
Twenty four recreational endurance runners (38.9±1.8 years, 175±1 cm, 76.1±1.4 Kg;
mean ± SE) performed a 60-min run in an attempt to cover as much distance as
possible. The race was performed after an overnight fast in an indoor circuit flat
surface of 216 m long under stable environmental conditions (Temperature 20 oC and
Humidity 52 %). Four days before the race subjects performed a graded exercise test
on a level motorized treadmill during which every two minutes the speed was
increased by 1 Km/h to volitional fatigue starting from an initial speed of 8 Km/h.
Results
Pearson product moment correlations were significant (p<0.01) between running
performance (12546.3±217 m) and speed at VO2max (0.85), speed at VT (0.79),
VO2max (ml/Kg/min) (0.72), and slope from speed-percentage VO2max regression
equation for each runner as an indicator of running economy (-0.55), whereas no
significant correlations were observed between performance and heart rate at VT
(0.37), percent heart rate at VT (0.10), or percent VO2max at VT (0.02). Stepwise
multiple regression analysis indicated that speed at VT (R²=.62), VO2max (R²=.69) and
slope from speed-percentage VO2max regression equation for each runner (R²=.75)
were significant predictors (p<0.05) of running performance.
Conclusions
These findings demonstrated that, among the selected parameters, speed at VT,
VO2max and running economy were better predictors of running performance.

Objective
Professionalism was adopted by the international rugby board(IRB) in 1995.
Professional players have had to adapt to the demands of increased physical and
mental robustness as well as the training workload. Despite being common in
countries where rugby is more popular, in Portugal there are no professional rugby
teams, only semi-professionals. We intend to known which is the level of
professionalism of these teams and the differences between them and the amateur
teams, in terms of training workload.
Design and Method
We assessed 46 rugby players from two teams competing in different layers of the
portuguese men's senior national championships (24 semi-professional and 22
amateur players). All athletes filled a questionaire indicating the number of weakly
field and gym training sessions, as well as their ages. Statistical analysis was performed
using the SPSS®v.19 and a significance level of 5% was considered.
Results
We found that semi-professional athletes performed a higher number of gym and field
training sessions that those of the amateur team. Regarding the age of the athletes,
we also found important differences, being the amateurs significantly older than the
semi-professionals.
Conclusions
The data obtained allow us to believe that the change in mentality and work load is
being processed in the upper layers of the Portuguese rugby, however, there is still a
long way to go to reach the professionalism level of other countries.

Objective
In rugby union, each position has very specific and unique requirements and several
studies have documented it. However, despite being common in countries where
rugby is more popular, no studies seeking to investigate the anthropometric and
physiological characteristics of the Portuguese rugby players have yet been published.
With this study we sought to evaluate the physiological and anthropometric
characteristics of the Portuguese rugby player.
Design and Method
We assessed 46 rugby players from two teams competing in the senior male national
championships. They were separated into two groups, taking into account the
positions occupied on the field. All the athletes underwent an anthropometric
assessment, where stature, body mass and skin folds were determined. Forty also
underwent an assessment of their physical capabilities which consisted in determining
their maximum aerobic capacities, speed and acceleration through field tests.
Results
Forwards were significantly taller, heavier and had a higher percentage of body fat that
the backs. They were also slower and had a lower maximal aerobic capacity in function
of their body masses. However, they had a higher maximal aerobic capacity in absolute
value and produced a greater momentum.
Conclusions
Regarding the differences between forwards and backs, the results of this study were
consistent with the literature. Regardless that the athletes studied were
non-professionals, the differences recorded between forwards and backs in this paper
as well as in the literature, indicates that, in rugby union, the possession of certain
anthropometric and physiological characteristics allows the best performance of the
athletes playing in each field position.

Objective. Left ventricular mass (LVM) is increased in athletes; however, the difference
in LVM between athletes and controls was due not only to training but also to body
composition. Previous researches had a cross-sectional design without the ability to
detect the dynamic cardiac adaptation occurring within the training season. The aim of
this study was to investigate the longitudinal variations of LVM and fat-free mass
(FFM) occurring in professional football players during the season. Methods.
Twenty-three male top-level football players were recruited. LVM was assessed by
echocardiography and body composition by DXA. Measurements were performed at
the beginning of the season, after 1, 4, and 8 months, and after detraining. Results.
LVM significantly increased after 4 months and a significant difference was
demonstrated
between
baseline
and
8-month
measurement
(195.04±25.84vs213.51±22.86 g, p<0.05). The change in LVM was confirmed also when
LVM was indexed to BSA or to FFM (p< 0.05). FFM increased during the season with a
significant
difference
between
baseline
and
8-month
measurement
(64.3±5.97vs66.27±4.96,p<0.05). Also heart rate, stroke volume (SV), and left
ventricular end-diastolic volume significantly increased during the season.
Interestingly, after the detraining period, no significant differences in
echocardiographic parameters were demonstrated between the beginning of the
season and the end of detraining. FFM and SV were independent predictors of LVM.
Conclusions. The present study reported for the first time the longitudinal variations of
LVM and FFM in top-level athletes, demonstrating that athletes exhibit a significant
remodelling of left ventricle and of body mass during the regular season.

OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to investigate the relationship among perceived exertion,
psychobiosocial states, stress-recovery-profile, heart rate variability and performance
in 11 basketball players during play off phase.
METHOD: We collected session rating of perceived exertion, recovery-stress state and
psychobiosocial states. Heart rate variability was computed from the
electrocardiogram recorded via BioHarness.
RESULTS: Analysis of results, adopting an idiographic approach focused on an in-depth
understanding of individual athletes, showed dynamic and individual specific
relationships among training load, psychobiosocial states and performance,
highlighted also in recovery stress profile and reflected in the heart rate variability
parameters.
CONCLUSIONS: Session rating of perceived exertion and heart rate variability are
reliable markers of internal load and psychobiosocial states may mediate the
relationship between training and performance.

Dinghy-Sailor must to project body outside to stabilize boat so performing an intense
isometric effort of knee, hip and lumbar muscles (hiking).
Present research aimed to study neuromuscular adaptations induced by long term
sailing activity. Neuromuscular Femoral Quadriceps properties were analyzed by
evaluation of: Maximum-Voluntary-Contraction (MVC); Exhaustion-Time (ET);
mioelectrical muscular fatigue indices (sEMG: %DET and MDF values and slopes).
12 subjects was recruited: 4 elite Dinghy-Sailor (DS, specific-trained athletes), 4 elite
Rowes (R, generic-trained athletes) and 4 Sedentary subjects (S, no-trained). Subject
has been seated and bound on an “Hiking-position-simulator” that allowed MVC
measure and measures of ET and sEMG during 2 isometric exhaustion contractions
(50% and 80% of MVC).
No MVC differences among groups were obtained (DS=688±99N; R=670±64N;
S=664±72N). Whilst, at 50%MVC trained subjects have ET longer to no-trained
(DS=134±29s; R=142±33s; S=70±24s), at 80%MVC DS obtained a longer ET then others
(DS=53±7s; R=39±11s; S=32±8s). %DET increased and MDF decreased constantly,
confirming their relationship with neuromuscular fatigue. DS show %DETstart-values at
80%MVC greater (33±5%) and a lower increment (0,4±0,2%/s) than R (24±5%;
0,7±0,2%/s) and S (21±8%; 0,7±0,1%/s), determining similar %DETexhaustion-values
(DS=50±6%; R=46±9%; S=49±13%).
Even if, trained subjects supported a longer time a low isometric contraction than
sedentary, during sub-maximal contractions, when all Motor-Unit are recruited, DS
resulted more resistant than others.
In conclusion hiking and the specific sailing activity seems to induce neuromuscular
adaptations useful to decrease fatiguing during sub-maximal isometric effort. A
possible physiological explanation could be a synchronized Motor-Unit activation in DS
group than others since beginning effort.

The aims of this study are to determine the somathotype and its influence on the
changes of body composition, anaerobic threshold and strength of leg of soccer
players aged 15-17 years.
Material and methods: 46 soccer players, aged 15-17 years, were included is this study.
During a training and competition process of 4 months, three times (at the beginning,
in the middle and after the finishing of this process), we measured: anaerobic
threshold (AnT, km/h) with Conconi protocol on treadmill and maximal treadmill speed
(km/h); body composition by bioelectrical impendence (relative muscle and fat mass,
BMI and muscle and total surface of upper arm-cm2) and peak force and time of both
quadriceps and hamstrings. With heath-Carter anthropometric somathotype model,
we determined 13 categories of somathotype.
Results: Body composition, AnT (12,3±1.09; 12,43±1,35; 12.15±1.09) and maximal
treadmill speed changed insignificantly during this training and competition process.
Except Peak Force of right quadriceps and Peak Force of left hamstring, other strength
parameters changed significantly (p<0.05) during this process. The most frequent
somathotype was mesomorph-ectomorph (45%), balanced mesomorph (17%),
balanced ectomorph (15%) and others. Some somathotypes influenced significantly on
changes of body composition and stranght parameters of legs.
Discussion: These results suggested that determination of somathotype could help in
selection and evaluation of effects of soccer training process.

THE ROLE OF SITUATIONAL VARIABLES IN ANALYSING PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE IN
ELITE SOCCER
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to examine the effect of match location, quality of
opposition, and match status on distance covered at various speeds in elite soccer.
DESIGN AND METHOD
Twenty-seven Spanish Premier League matches played by a professional soccer team
were monitored in the 2005–2006 season using a multiple-camera match analysis
system. The dependent variables were the distance covered by players at different
intensities. Data were analysed using a linear regression analysis with three
independent variables: match status (i.e. whether the team was winning, losing or
drawing), match location (i.e. playing at home or away), and quality of the opponents
(strong or weak).
RESULTS
The top-class players performed less high-intensity activity (>19.1 km · h) when
winning than when they losing, but more distance was covered by walking and jogging
when winning. For each minute winning, the distance covered at submaximal or
maximal intensities decreased by 1 m (P<0.05) compared with each minute losing. For
each minute winning, the distance covered by walking and jogging increased by 2.1 m
(P<0.05) compared with each minute losing. The home teams covered a greater
distance than away teams during low-intensity activity (<14.1 km · h) (P<0.01). Finally,
the better the quality of the opponent, the higher the distance covered by walking and
jogging.
CONCLUSIONS
Our findings emphasize the need for match analysts and coaches to consider the
independent and interactive effects of situational variables during assessment of the
physical component of football performance.

According to the age of participant, baseball divided into elementary (9-12yr),
junior-high (13-15yr), senior-high (16-18yr) and college (above 18yr) leagues. Previous
studies showed that anthropometric, physical fitness, technique and pitching
mechanics significant differences among leagues. The high injury rate occurred at all
youth leagues. However, the official game balls among leagues are similar the
specification addressing in official baseball rule. The hypothesis of this study was that
the specification of official game ball concerned with injury occurrence. Therefore, this
study was to compare the specification of official game ball among leagues. The
samples of game ball for different leagues were provided by official organization in
Taiwan, and were stored at 22±2ºC and 50% relative humidity for at least two weeks
prior to measurement. The weigh, circumference, diameter and coefficient of
restitution (COR) were measured in conditioned lab. The result revealed that weigh,
circumference, diameter and COR were no significant difference among different
leagues game ball (p<.05). It reflected that the current game ball may too heavier and
larger for youth player. It caused larger loading on elbow and shoulder during pitching.
The finding suggested that the standard of official game ball might a potential factor to
injury occurrence at all youth leagues. Furthermore, the appropriated game ball for
different leagues should be established. (NSC100-2627-B-154-001)

Football is a sport with intermittent high-intensity alternate with recovery, where good
aerobic conditioning has positive effect on performance. Direct VO2 measurement
with breath-by-breath metabolimeter allows to define aerobic capacity and how
it changes over time.MATERIALS AND METHODS During last 13 competitive seasons,
608 professional players were tested by Cosmed K4b2, running from 2 to 4
evaluations/season for total of 1738 tests. An incremental maximal test in a route
drawn on the football field was used.This parameters were recorded: V'O2max, V’O2
at anaerobic threshold (V'O2AT), speed (kmh) at I and II ventilatory thres., speed (kmh)
at V'O2max (VAM), heart rate. Data were subjected to statistical analysis both as a

Introduction: Ironman is a triathlon competition characterized by 3,8 Km of swimming,
180 Km of cycling, and 42,2 Km of running. The physical capacity in each of these three
different sports needs specific evaluation tests. The aim of the study was to discover
the most predictive pre-competition test of athlete’s performance during competition.
Materials and Methods: 8 triathletes (1 female and 7 males, Age: 42,4 ± 3 years) were
studied by three tests. Test A: cycling test on athletics track; Test B: Ciclomulino’s test
in Laboratory; Test C: Conconi’s test on athletics track. Heart rate, Aerobic and
Anaerobic Thresholds, Maximum Oxygen Uptake and Energetic Cost were calculated
by means of a gas analyzer. Data were processed by non parametric statistics
(Spearman test) to evaluate their correlation with mean speeds during the three parts
of a real race.
Results: Test A: athletes with the highest values of maximum oxygen uptake, oxygen
pulse and pulmonary ventilation showed the highest mean speed during the cycling
session. Test B: athletes with the highest values of Watt/kg at the aerobic threshold
had the highest mean speed during the cycling session. Test C: statistics analysis did
not show any correlation between data and the mean speed during the run session.
Conclusions: Both test A and B are reliable to predict the outcome in the cycling part of
Ironman race whereas test C failed in to this task.

Aim: Physiological and match analysis have demonstrated modern football is an high
energetic demanding sport and the ability to perform repeated high-intensity work is
very important. The Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test (Yo-Yo IRT) is an incremental and
sensitive method to asses the soccer performance. The aim was to verify the efficacy
of Yo-Yo IRT for training in soccer players. Methods: 14 professional soccer players
(age 22.4±3.4, height 181.2±6.9, weight 74.9±6.7) were enrolled. During the first
training session (T0), after a short warm up, Yo-Yo IRT was performed. The type and
amount of training was based on the technical, tactical, and physical demands imposed
by the game. After 30 days (1 month) and at the end of the regular season (T9) Yo-Yo
IRT was perform too. Maximum Heart Rate (HR Max) and the distance (Mt Yo-Yo) in
the last steps were recorded. Anova Test was used to evaluate the statistical
differences. Results: During the first Yo-Yo IRT, HR Max=190.63±8.37, mt
Yo-Yo=1928.57±407.97were obtained. In the second test HR Max=187.79±8.85, mt
Yo-Yo=2308.57±509.22 during the last one HR Max=188.91±8.35, mt
Yo-Yo=2390.00±489.06. None statistical difference were observed in HR Max values,
however Mt Yo-Yo resulted to be statistically increase (p = 0.03) after soccer training.
Conclusion: The study confirm that HR Max qualified the intensity of the physical
exercise, while the distance reached can represent the main parameters to verify the
effective athletes performance during the training. Both aerobic and speed-endurance
training can be used to improve high-intensity intermittent exercise performance also
in non-agonistic period.

16 females from the national softball team were studied to determine the variations in
maximum Oxygen Consumption (V02) and of cardiac recovery in two macrocycles
previous to the Bolivarian Games Bolivia 2009. Material and Method: The
1000-metre race test was appliedand the VO2 maximum was calculated using the
Leger and Tokmakidis formula. It was recorded the heart rate at rest and at post effort
as well as at the end, first, third and fifth minutes of recovery. Results: the
percentage of recovery of the average heart rate of the athletes within the first (167
and 165 l/min), third (133 and 131 l/min) and fifth (119 and 108 l/min) minutes
ending the test in the two macrocycles; the variations among these were calculated,
showing a significant difference (t < 0,05) in the fifth minute with lower heart rates and
a higher percentage (62% and 72%) of recovery in the second test. The average relative
maximum VO2 in the first macrocycle (38 ml/kg/min) was higher than in the second
macrocycle (36 ml/kg/min) and the racing speed was superior in the first, without any
meaningful difference relative to the second evaluation. When comparing these
results with other studies it is evidenced very low values of max VO2 in the Softball
players, comparable with sedentary people (1). Conclusions: The regimen of physical
and nutritional preparation was not adequate between macrocycles I and II above
mentioned and displayed a low aerobic potential. (1) A. Pancorbo, 2008

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of a trunk
muscles endurance and static balance. Trunk muscles provide an integrated functional
unit, whereby the main kinetic chain begins from. It also distributes weight and
transfers forces and movements to upper and lower segments. Fatigue of trunk
muscles contributes to spinal instability over strenuous and prolonged physical tasks
and therefore may lead to injury, however from a performance perspective, relation
between endurance efficient core muscles and optimal balance control has not been
well-known.
Method: Fifty male students inhabitant of Tehran university dormitory (age 22±3,
height 171±5 weight 70±6) took part in the study. Trunk endurance muscles were
assessed using Sørensen test of trunk extensor endurance, trunk flexor endurance test,
side bridge endurance test and static balance was measured using single-limb stance
test. Pearson correlation coefficient (r) was calculated to examine the relationship
between variables.
Result: significant correlation was revealed in trunk flexor, extensor, lateral flexor
endurance and static balance variables (p < 0.05). Interestingly, Pearson r correlation
coefficient for aforementioned variables were 0.80, 071,083 respectively.
Conclusion: there is a significant relationship between trunk muscles endurance and
static balance. The challenge in addressing trunk endurance is to apply our knowledge
and skills to design exercise programs that improve endurance and subsequently
balance as an integrated part in optimal performance of athletes.
Key words: static balance, trunk muscle endurance

The aim of this study was to estimate the maximum levels of blood lactate, according
to the power developed in the average performance of the Wingate test.
Materials and methods - Subjects included were 108 men and 90 women, members of
various sports teams of Venezuela. We applied twice the Wingate test on a Monark
cycle ergometer model 894 Ea, with an interval of 48 hours between the two
measurements. The best result was taken for calculation.
The estimation of lactate (mmol.l-1) was carried out from average yield in the Wingate
test (Wa) and the heat equivalent of lactate (0,222 Kcal.gr-1), according the following
formula:
La (mmol.l-1) = [(Wa x 0,06 x 50,045) / (Wt x 0,7)] / 2
Results and conclusions - A direct correlation (r>0,8) was found between the maximum
blood lactate measured in the field and the value calculated with the formula for
sprinters, cyclist and skates track. In this way the formula offers the possibility of
estimating the maximum value of lactate, transforming the average power obtained
Wingate test (Wa) into blood lactate concentration (mmol.l-1).

Introduction
The purpose of the present study was to examine the differences in physiological
characteristics of prepubescent boys participating in different sports.
Methods
Ninety two prepubescent boys (age: 12.1 ± 0.4 yrs, height: 155.7 ± 0.7 cm, body mass:
49.3 ± 0.9 kg; mean ± SE) with at least two years training experience were divided into
three groups according to the sport they participated (Swimmers n=35, Handball
players n=21 & Soccer players n=36). Maximum handgrip strength in hands, 20m
shuttle run test (for VO2max prediction) and 30m sprint running were measured. Data
were analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey’s post-hoc tests.
Results
Swimmers produced more force with the dominant hand than soccer players (29.5 ±
0.5 vs. 25.7 ± 0.9 kg, p<0.01) while handball players did not differ (26.1 ± 1.3 kg,
p=0.06). Force produced with the non-dominant hand was more (p<0.01) in swimmers
(27.5 ± 0.6 kg) compared to soccer (23.8 ± 1.0 kg) and handball (23.7 ± 1.2 kg) players.
In 30m sprint, and VO2max tests soccer players (4.9 ± 0.02 sec & 53.6 ± 0.5 ml/kg/min)
performed better (p<0.01) compared to swimmers (5.7± 0.09 sec & 49.2 ± 0.8
ml/kg/min) and handball players (5.5 ± 0.08 sec & 47.9 ± 0.8 ml/kg/min).
Conclusion
The data indicate that specificity of training, as reflected by higher grip strength in
non-dominant hand in swimmers and higher 30 m sprint and VO2max values in soccer
players, is evident in prepubescent boys who have at least two years of training
experience.

Objective: the aim of the present study was to investigate whether Inspiratory Muscle
Training might improve respiratory function indexes, respiratory muscle strength as
well as affect exercise performance in young athletes. Design and Method: 16
athletes practicing Inspiratory Muscle Training with a resistive device for 4 weeks were
recruited. The load of training was 60% of Maximal Inspiratory Pressure. We
performed a submaximal stress test before and after the training in order to evaluate
performance. Results: We found a significant improvement of Maximal Inspiratory
Pressure, in Peak Inspiratory Flow and enhancement of all respiratory muscle strength
parameters (p<0,05). There were no significative changes in oxygen consumption.
There was a little reduction in the perception of respiratory fatigue. Conclusions: 4
weeks of resistive Inspiratory Muscle Training can increase inspiratory muscle strength,
without improving exercise performance. Therefore it will be useful considering
the effect of training for more time (8 weeks), or trying to practice training sessions
at 80% of maximal inspiratory pressure.

This study examined the effects of two different warm-up protocols on lower limb
power and flexibility in elite fencers. Sixteen international level fencers (8 males-8
females) performed two warmup protocols that included 5-min light jogging and either
short (15s) or long (45s) static stretching exercises for each of the main leg muscle
groups (quadriceps, hamstrings and triceps surae), followed by either 3 sets of 3 (short
stretching treatment), or 3 sets of 5 tuck jumps (long stretching treatment), in a
randomized crossover design with one week between treatments. Hip joint flexion was
measured with a Lafayette goniometer before and after the 5-min warmup, after
stretching and 8 min after the tuck jumps, while counter movement jump (CMJ)
performance was evaluated by an Ergojump contact platform, before and after the
stretching treatment, as well as immediately after and 8 minutes after the tuck jumps.
Three way ANOVA (condition, time, gender) revealed significant time main effects for
flexibility (p<0.001), with no interaction between factors. Flexibility increased by
6.2±1.1% (p<0.01) after warmup and by another 5.8±1.5% (p<0.01) after stretching,
while it remained increased 8 min after the tuck jumps. CMJ performance remained
unchanged throughout the short stretching protocol, while it decreased after
stretching in the long stretching protocol, with no between-gender differences
(-5.8±1.1%, p<0.01). However, 8 min after the tuck jumps, CMJ performance was not
different from the baseline value (p=0.075). In conclusion, lower limb power may be
decreased after long periods of stretching, but performance of explosive exercises may
reverse this phenomenon.

There is growing evidence that equal amounts of alternate high/low intensity
(~80-40% of V’O2 max) training loads (HIT) are an effective option to continuous
(~60%) exercise (CON), leading to improved performance in athletes and
cardio-respiratory fitness in patients. Since oxidative stress is known to increase
disproportionally to exercise intensity, HIT would therefore be expected to lead to a
greater ROS accumulation.
Aim. This study shows differential data of the oxidative stress response in master
athletes undergoing HIT or CON protocols, compared on a matched-workload basis.
Methods. Twenty healthy subjects (47.2 ± 7.4 yr) were assigned to CON (n = 10) or
HIT (n = 10). Each group undertook 8 weeks of training running three times a week
over the same total distance (9-13 km/day). Before (PRE-) and after (POST-) training
resting levels of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) and protein
carbonyls (PC), were assessed in venous blood. In addition, 8-OH-2-deoxyguanosine
(8-OH-dG), a marker of DNA oxidative damage, was determined in the urine. Standard
immuno-enzymatic assays were adopted.
Results. The main findings on oxidative response were: 1) TBARS levels in plasma were
significantly reduced POST- vs. PRE- in both groups. 2) 8-OH-dG values were
significantly reduced in POST- vs. PRE-, both in HIT and CON. 3) No significant changes
in PC resting values were observed in both CON and HIT.
Conclusions. Considering that the 5-km time performance improved in both groups,
the present findings suggest that HIT, compared to CON, induces similar lower levels of
oxidative stress.

OBJECTIVE: Despite Formula One (F1) is the pinnacle of motorsports there’s still a lack
about research. That’s due to the fact that people who train drivers and are involved in
their medical support have never been professional drivers themselves nor they have
ever driven a F1 car. This means they don’t have first hand experience of physiological
and psychological demands of these sports. This is why a little more research in F1
racing aimed to investigate driver’s effort during their performance is needed.
DESIGN AND METHOD: In order to asses heart rate (HR) zones three lactate tests
(cycling, running and hand bike) were performed on a Professional F1 Driver (21
years,176 cm,63.6 kg)
Gran Prix , Free Practice and Qualifying session HR recordings (Polar® Sport
Performance) were acquired during F1 season.
RESULTS: Blood lactate and HR laboratory values are comparable to other
professional athletes.
Surprisingly the average driving HR is equal or higher than threshold values for the
whole performance. HR pattern is different according to tack and weather conditions.
When the Driver jumps out from the cockpit there’s evidence of a temporary shift
towards parasympathetic dominance followed by a prompt resumption of sympathetic
tone.
CONCLUSIONS: The HR dynamics analysis:
-provides more detailed and precise data at certain stages and actions during the race
(turn, straights, braking, acceleration, pit-stops, overtaking).
-describes cardiovascular adaptation to multiple G-force and parasympathetic
withdrawal.
We can postulate that there’s an important psychological involvement and give
professionals involved in F1 the basis to develop an intensive athletic and mental
training.

OBJECTIVE : In Italy “Allievi” category is the link between youth sector and the first
Union Cycliste Internationale category. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the
development of descriptive physiological parameters as a control tool for training
monitoring in a group of young cyclists (age 14.7±0.7 years, weight 61.7±0.6 kg,
height 173.1±8.6 cm) during one season.
DESIGN AND METHOD: 20 athletes performed an incremental test (100W + 30W/4
minutes) in preseason (PRE) and during the season (IN) on a Computrainer
Racermate® Cyclosimulator. Heart Rate (bpm), Lactate (mMol) and Power Output (PO
Watts) and Relative Power (RP Watts/Kg) were recorded. Onset of Blood Lactate
Accumulation (OBLA) has been calculated.
RESULTS: PO and RP are significantly higher at 2 mMol Lactate and 4 mMol Lactate
value in IN than in PRE (156.4±21.6vs197.7±25.6 and 198.6±32.0vs239.1±34.3 Watts ;
2.5±0.3vs3.2±0.5 and 3.2±0.4vs3.9±0.5 Watts/Kg – p<0.01). IN Power at OBLA shows
significantly higher value than in PRE (4.0±0.5 vs 3.5±0.4 Watts/Kg – p<0.01)
Training induces lower mean heart rates under 4 mMol in IN than in PRE.
CONCLUSIONS: Lactate test, representing the adaptation response, could be a reliable
mean to plan training in young cyclists who get used to heart rate monitoring, .
Moreover changes in lactate production and the heart rate response in a cycling
season could be assumed as markers of external and internal load in youth cycling.

The study analyses force-velocity and power-velocity curves during chest presses at
different weights with back supported by either stable bench or unstable Swiss ball. A
group of 26 fit men (age 21.7±1.6 y, height 182.7±10.6 cm, weight 79.8±9.5 kg)
performed in random order 3 reps of barbell chest presses on the bench and Swiss
ball. Initial weight of 20 kg was increased by 10 kg up to at least 80% of previously
established 1RM under stable conditions. A system FiTRO Dyne Premium was used to
monitor force and velocity and to calculate power. Results showed significantly higher
peak force under stable than unstable conditions, however, only at lower velocities of
0.8 m/s (324.2 N; p<.01), 1.0 m/s (287.5 N; p<.01), 1.2 m/s (232.8 N; p<.05), 1.4 m/s
(212.2 N; p<.05). Also peak power was significantly higher during stable than unstable
chest presses at lower velocities of 0.8 m/s (275.7 W; p<.01), 1.0 m/s (258.7 W; p<.01),
1.2 m/s (241.6 W; p<.01), 1.4 m/s (226.7 W; p<.05). On the other hand, there was a
tendency to produce greater power at higher velocities under unstable than stable
conditions. This may be ascribed so-called rebound effect of Swiss ball contributing to
greater power potentiation when lifting lower weights. However, subjects were not
able to utilize the elasticity of the ball and enhance power at higher weights. These
findings indicate that significant differences exist in the ability to produce force and
power at lower velocities during chest presses on the bench and Swiss ball.

INTRODUCTION. Sport-therapy represents a useful tool to reach not only a whole
physical and psychical well-being, but also a self-evaluation of the patient. In
wheel-chair invalids, reduced catabolism may increase body weight, and thus risks
of cardiovascular diseases. If physical activity is not enough, the independence of the
patient decreases and can make the invalid unable to overcame even slight
obstacles, such as sidewalk steps or slopes.
PURPOSE (object). To establish whether a program of snow-adapted motor activity can
improve physical and psychological capability.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty invalids were randomly divided in two groups:
Group A followed a program of snow-adapted motor activity for 3 months, whereas
Group C was without physical activity (control). Before and after this period, both
groups underwent anthropometric, physical functional tests and psychological
evaluations. Statistical analysis was performed with the Student T tests for paired
and unpaired data.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS. In Group A, both physical and psychological tests
showed significant positive changes either when compared to the pre-training period
(P<0.001) or when compared to Group C. The response to small entity and intensity
training was positive in subjects of Group A, and increased individual physical
autonomy, socialization and affective life.

Introduction: muscle weakness is considered an important co-factor/resultant in frail
elders representing a major cause of morbidity and mortality following recurrent falls.
Given the great variability of physical fitness in aging, we aimed at developing a
training program tailored to individual health status. Purpose: project “MUOVITI” was
intended to evaluate the feasibility and sustainability of individual training program in
a groups of residents hosted in a sanitary structure with impaired cognitive status
and/or decreased ability for daily life activities. Methods: thirteen elderly (4 males, 9
females); aged (mean±st.dev: 85.7±5.1 years) and weight (mean±st.dev: 62.2±14.3 kg)
were submitted to an incremental exercise on cycle-ergometer until exhaustion to
measure peak oxygen uptake. The maximum strength of the knee extensors was
measured using a leg extension weight loaded system. The one repetition maximum
load was defined as the highest weight the seated subject could lift one time from 90°
of knee flexion to maximal knee extension. Results: the maximum oxygen uptake
averaged 8.91 mL/min/kg with a coefficient of variation as high as 34%. The maximum
strength for one repetition averaged 22.5 kg with a coefficient of variation also as high
as 51%. No correlation was found by plotting the ratio of maximum oxygen uptake to
maximum strength vs age. The results support a great variability in the functional
parameters considering that are essentially dependent from health status more than
inter-individual difference in age. We therefore set specific individual training
programs to improve: endurance, resistance, flexibility, balance with the aid of sport
scientists.

The evaluation of an athlete's weight alone is not sufficient in combat sports, it is
essential to characterize the values of the components of body composition.
Study Objectives: To determine the body composition of Venezuelan combat athletes
for two core competencies.
Materials and Methods: A descriptive study comparing the body composition variables
in two-stage competitive sport of judo, karate and taekwondo. We studied 33 athletes
battle being: 8 female judokas, 14 and 11 athletes from taekwondo karate team
members who represented Venezuela in international competitions. We calculated the
indicators of body composition by Withers et al, 1987 for females to be specific to high
performance athletes.
Results: We applied a Student test for independent samples to the results of both
competitions with no significant differences between the groups analyzed, were found
higher values of% fat to those of other authors the average was 15.7% -. An analysis of
variance one-way (ANOVA) between the mean values found for sport and competition
and there were no significant differences.
Conclusions: The obtained results allow evaluating the components of body
composition in athletes of both light and medium divisions and heavy in the
competitive period in an objective as the proposed scales was obtained experimentally
and serve as a reference in previous stages of the training.

INTRODUCTION: The alcohol assumption create some changes in cardiac
electrophysiological properties, The study aimed at exploring the correlation between
the alcohol assumption and QT interval in young soccer players.
METHODS: Electrocardiographic analysis of 1080 male athletes (Mean age 14,36, Std.
Deviation 1,69, from 12 to 17 yr old) was performed.
Subjects were classified as abstemious (739, 68,4%), and alcohol consumption ( 341,
31,6%). We have analyzed the HR and QT interval in basal ecg during pre-partecipation
cardiovascular screening.
RESULTS: the average QT interval in abstemious are 36,08 msec (st.dev 1,92) and in
alcohol consumption are 38,42 (st dev. 2,08). We made a Levene’s Test for Equality of
Variances (Sig: 0,00) we made a T test equal variances in order to verify the difference
between means (alpha 0,05). The results are p=0,000.
CONCLUSION: Since there is an interrelation between long QTc and risk of arrhythmias,
our results and the young age of the soccer players suggest that the development of
prevention programs that are specifically designed to meet the unique needs of the
young athletes may be beneficial.

Aim of the study:
The goal of this study was to evaluate the variation of the vascular stiffness related to
the years of practice of soccer. We know that pulse pressure is the simplest surrogate
measure of arterial stiffness and elevated values are increasingly being recognized as a
risk factor for cardiovascular disease, particularly coronary disease. PP arises from the
interaction of cardiac ejection (stroke volume) and the properties of the arterial
circulation.
Materials and Methods:
We assessed a population of 226 male subjects who practiced soccer, prospectively
examined in a Sport Medicine clinic. The athletes were selected by the age (from 30 to
40) and by number of years of playing soccer. Group A (n=109): athletes at first annual
clinical examination for sport eligibility; group B (n=117) athletes who have made six or
more consecutive annual visits. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure was measured, in
according of COCIS 2009.
Result:
The average values of ulse pressure in A was 45,69 mmHg (SD= 12,28), the average
values of pulse pressure in B was 39,88 mmHg (SD=17,96).
T test for independent samples was: T=2.819, CI 95% from 1.75 to 9.87; p= 0.005
Conclusions:
We observe a lower average value of pulse pressure amounted to 5.88 mmHg.
We conclude that this lower pulse pressure is a indicator of hemodynamic adaptations,
sports induced. It is conceivable that the measurement of arterial stiffness could
become an important part of the routine assessment of athletes, both in sport medical
practice.

Introduction:in the last 60ys, several rules’ changes occurred in amateur-boxing (AB).
Our aim is to evaluate their impact on kind of verdicts and possible implications on
boxers’ health.
Methods:from a web-research, the results of AB tournaments from 1952 to 2011 were
reviewed. For each event, we collected the rate of knockout(KO),
referee-stop-contest(RSC), RSC-Head(RSCH), RSC-Injury(RSCI), RSC-Overscore(RSCO,
since 2000), abandon, disqualification and points verdicts. Our analysis investigates the
changes occurred after the introduction of standing-count rule(1964), mandatory
helmets (1984) and modification of bout formula (3x3, till 1997, 4x2 till 2008, 3x3 from
2009).
Results:complete results were available in 198/269 tournaments(29357 bouts). With
the standing-count rule, a RSCI rate increase (p<.03) was observed (0.72 to 2.42%).
With mandatory helmets, there was a reduction of RSCI(2.04 to 0.60%,p<.001) and
KO(6.31 to 3.78%,p<.03) rates, counterbalanced by higher RSCH(1.31 to 4.92%,p<.001)
and RSC(9.71 to 13.05%,p<.03) rate and an increase in the sum of RSC,RSCH and KO
rate (17.33 to 21.75%,p<.04). When bout formula was analysed, from 3x3 to 4x2, a
rate reduction of KO(2.09 to 0.95%,p<.05),RSCH (3.71 to 1.41%,p<.001),RSC (14.79 to
5.91%,p<.001) verdicts and of their sum (20.59 to 8.27%,p<.001) was observed. After
2009 (back to 3x3), no differences occurred.
Conclusions:changes in AB have been associated with modifications of the kind of
verdicts, with possible implications on boxers’ health. The main impact of mandatory
helmets was RSCI reduction. Bout formula changes had a key-effect on KO rate fall.
However, other factors played a role: back to 3x3, the expected re-increase of bouts
ended before time limits wasn’t observed.

An emerging and fascinating aspect of sports medicine and cardiology are the diseases,
which were widely reported in the literature, such as myocarditis and / or
myopericarditis simulating acute myocardial infarction in particular, has created large
implications of medical, psychological and prognosis in relation to the sports careers of
elite athletes competitive. This case report describes and documents the clinical and
instrumental procedures evolved a cyclist (MTB) of 58 years once again the importance
of differential diagnosis in patients presenting with signs and symptoms of suspected
or probable AMI in the absence of significant atherosclerotic disease of the vessels
coronary, especially if athletes or individuals at a young age, with no particular
cardiovascular risk factors and with a history suggestive of recent flu-like illness. No
coincidence that the literature contains numerous reports of cases of people affected
by myo(peri) carditis acute, which is able to simulate a clinically-based myocardial
ischemic necrosis, and is widely known as the clinical presentation of myocarditis is
quite variable. This case emphasizes the usefulness of magnetic resonance to
distinguish heart and then confirm with some certainty the diagnosis of acute

Aim of the study: Iliac spines are apophysis of the pelvic ring that might be involved in
avulsion traumas in adolescent in many sport activities due to a sudden and forceful
contraction of the muscles where they take origin. Soccer players, gymnast and high
jumpers are commonly affected. Treatment could be conservative or surgical
according to the size and the amount of the dislocation of the fragment. The aim of
this study is to define the correct approach to these lesions in adolescent athletes by
evaluating the outcomes in our series of cases.
Materials and methods: Between 1988 and 2009 we treated 28 patients with a mean
age of 16 years. 20 cases were treated surgically and 8 conservatively. All patients
were evaluated clinically and radiographically after an average follow-up of 75 months.
Patients were assessed with the Non-arthritic Hip Score. Return to sport performance
was always recorded.
Results: Mean Non-arthritc Hip Score was 97,2 points and return to full sport activity
averaged 81 days. In 9 cases radiographs showed heterotopic bone formation. Three
out of the 20 patients operated developed a postoperative transitory lateral femoral
cutaneous nerve impairment which resolved spontaneously after a mean period of 6
months.
Conclusion: The incidence of these fractures is steadily increasing in young population
due to the earlier and more intensive sports activity. Primarily, in order to avoid
surgery-related complications such as meralgia paresthetica and infections, we prefer
conservative treatment. When fragment size is more than 2 cm and is dislocated more
than 2 cm surgical treatment is indicated and we recommend a fixation with screws for
a more stable fixation and an earlier recovery.

Introduction
Rupture of the short head of the biceps brachii is rare and is most often associated
with trauma.
Case
A 49-year-old woman was referred to our clinic for right chronic shoulder pain, which
had failed to show any relief after months of physical therapy and analgesics. Physical
examination showed full range of motion with no impingement sign except for mild
proximal weakness of MRC 4 in all four extremities. Of interest, the medial muscle
bulk of the right biceps was palpated at the lower arm with a positive Popeye’s sign.
Plain images from the biceps muscle showed discontinuation of the biceps short head
muscle fiber with surrounding fluid collection. The patient underwent magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) studies for further evaluation. MRI images showed rupture of
the right biceps brachii at the the short head myotendinous junction with surrounding
signal intensity changes. However, these signal changes were also observed in the
coracobrachialis, brachialis, and the lateral and long head of triceps muscles, raising
the possibility of myopathy. Laboratory tests revealed elevated serum CPK, LDH, AST,
and ALT levels. Nerve conduction studies were normal but electromyographic findings
showed denervation potentials in all limbs with small amplitudes, short duration motor
unit action potentials with increased polyphasities in all tested extremities, suggesting
inflammatory myopathy.
Conclusion
This case draws attention to the fact that although rupture of the biceps short head is
most often associated with trauma and sports-related injuries, it can be rarely
associated with inflammatory myopathy.

Introduction. The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) has a pivotal role for the stability of
the knee. However, it also plays a proprioceptive role in static and dynamic conditions,
such as walking. Surgical ACL reconstruction can restore the biomechanical asset of the
knee, whereas the proprioception may remain abnormal. In the present paper we
exploit the use of a testing procedure based on backward walking, which requires the
integration of both proprioceptive and vestibular informations.
Materials and methods. Patients with complete untreated ACL tear (n=6), with
reconstructed ACL (n=15) and control subjects (n=15) were enrolled in the study.
Healthy subjects and patients were comparable for age, weight and height. All subjects
were soccer athletes. Knee proprioception was tested using the threshold for passive
knee motion. Subjects were then asked to walk on a level treadmill at increasing speed
from 1 to 5 km/h in forward and then in backward directions, wearing passive
reflective markers to study body kinematics.
Results. Patients with ACL reconstruction showed a restoration of knee proprioception,
to a level similar to the healthy subjects. At variance, subjects with ACL deficiency
showed a decrease in their knee proprioception. Moreover, using the backward
walking test we found a longer step size in non-operated subjects, particularly at
higher speed, whereas operated subjects showed a performance similar to control
subjects.
Conclusion. ACL deficiency leads to sensory deficits and variation in the step size
during backward walking as compared to healthy individuals and operated patients.
This is the consequence of the change of proprioceptive information and could lead to
diminished functional responsiveness to the environment demands. Therefore, the
backward walking test might be used as a simple tool to indirectly test proper knee
proprioception.

The aim: to study the clinical symptoms of neurological syndromes in the selection of
boxers who had a history of repeated traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Material and methods. Under supervision there were 158 boxers amateur level
qualifications, who had a history of repeated TBI. The number of boxing matches
ranged from 25 to 375, the total number of TBI in the form of knockdown (knockout)
ranged from 1 to 15. Boxers were in training camp. In boxers studied complaints,
analyzed clinical symptoms to the selection of neurological syndromes.
Results. Most of our study made boxers-men - 129 (81.65%), women were 29
(18.35%). Among male dominated two age groups 21-25 years (41.09%) and 16-20
years (36.43%). The most frequently diagnosed autonomic dysfunction syndrome
(49.37%), cephalgic (46.20%) and cerebrastenic (33.54%) syndromes. Among the
boxers male dominated autonomic dysfunction syndrome and cephalgic syndrome,
among boxers women - cephalgic and cerebrastenic syndromes. If men liquor
hypertensive syndrome occurred in 22.48% of cases, the women - not met even once.
Extrapyramidal syndrome in women met four times more often and dyssomnia three
times more often than men. Describing the frequency of neurological syndromes,
depending on the amount of spent matches, can be concluded that the group of
boxers who had over 200 fights often met all neurological syndromes except
cerebrastenic.
Conclusions. In boxers with repeated mild TBI found a number of neurological
syndromes. Among them was dominated autonomic dysfunction syndrome, cephalgic
and cerebrastenic syndromes. Most neurological syndromes occur in boxers who have
spent more than 200 matches.

AIM OF THE STUDY:
To evaluate the effectiveness of treatment with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) of partial
tears of the posterior cruciate ligament in young athletes.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
We enrolled nine patients (6 men and 4 women, age range: 18-39 years, mean age: 27
years) who had suffered a partial tear of posterior cruciate ligament diagnosed by MRI
and ultrasound. We performed a single ultrasound-guided injection of PRP.
The clinical outcome was assessed using a visual-analogue scale (VAS) of pain on the
day of injection (T0), after three weeks (T1), after six weeks (T2); in addition, to assess
the structure of the ligament, we repeated ultrasound at T1 and T2, and MRI at T2.
RESULTS:
A statistically significant improvement in pain index and a reduced recovery time in
sporting activities has been observed in all patients already at T1. The ultrasound
images confirmed a marked reduction of inhomogeneities of fibrillar architecture at T1
and a complete recovery at T2, confirmed by MRI.
CONCLUSIONS:
The first clinical results are encouraging, indicating that the PRP injections have the
potential to accelerate the return to sport activity in young athletes who have suffered
a partial tear of posterior cruciate ligament.

To describe the variation in the location of the intratendinous zone of tendinosis in the
Achilles tendon.
Design
Retrospective
Methods
The ankle ultrasound scans of all patients who presented during 2010 in the University
Hospital of Leuven with pain in the Achilles region were retrospectively analysed and
classified.
Classification occured into the following three categories: tendinosis, reactive
tendinopathy or other (e.g. normal scan, peritendinopathy, bursitis,...).
The tendinosis group was subdivided according to the location of the tendinosis zone
into proximal or insertional, which were further subdivided into anterior, posterior or
both.
Results
The ultrasound scans from 395 tendons. In 55,5% of the patients with pain in the
Achilles region tendinosis was seen, in 18,8% reactive tendinopathy and in 25,7%
something else. The results showed that in 68,2% the tendinosis zone was proximal,
whereas in 31,8 % it was insertional.
The proximal tendinosis zone was mostly found right across the width of the tendon
(57%), but also anteriorly (15,2%) and posteriorly (27,8%).
The insertional tendinosis zone however was mostly found posteriorly (49,3%),
followed by anteriorly (27,3%) and then across the width of the tendon (23,4%).
Conclusions
This study provides a better view on the relative distribution of the tendinosis zone in
Achilles tendinopathy. However, further research is needed to determine whether a
difference in treatment approach according to the location of the tendinosis zone is
necessary.

Objective: Recognize the chronic exertional compartment syndrome of the forearm as
a common and underestimated cause of disabling pain among manual workers and
athletes across a variety of sports.
Design and Method: Review of the literature available on Pubmed data-base and
Google Scholar after searching for “exertional compartment syndrome” and
“forearm”.
Results: The chronic exertional compartment syndrome is defined as an intermittent
and reversible pathologic elevation of compartment pressures following exertion.
There are few reports where the forearm is affected; its typically benign presentation
difficult the diagnosis, but it can significantly affect both athletic performance and
quality of life. Anatomically, forearm can be described as containing three muscular
compartments in addition to the osseous compartments. This pathology diagnosis is
based on a characteristic clinical history and intra-compartmental pressures
measurement. Treatment can be conservative or surgical, but only the last one is
definitive.
Conclusions: Forearm complaints during exercise that resolve at rest shouldn’t be
ignored. An early diagnosis and treatment ensure the capacity of performing any
activity and prevent future complications.

The aim of the study was to evaluate laboratory parameters in different sports
concerning influence of exercise intensity to total energy expenditure.
Three groups of sport players at age of 14.8±1.5 years were examined: soccer players
(SP) - intermittent high intensity sport with moderate to high dynamic and low static
demands (n=21); water polo players (WP) - high intensity with moderate to high
dynamic and static demands (n=19); and karate players (KP) - skill based sport with low
dynamic and moderate to high static demands (n=20). The following parameters were
investigated: body weight (BW) and body height (BH), body mass index (BMI), muscle
mass (MM) and bone mass (BM), maximal oxygen uptake (VO2), heart rate during 10
minute treadmill exercise; and hematological parameters.
While BW and BH did not show any difference among the groups, the highest BMI,
24±3.8kg/m² (p<0.001) and MM 54±3.2% (p<0.05) with the lowest BM 17±1.9% were
found in WP. The highest VO2 of 42.4±4.5 ml/kg/min was found in SP v.s. the lowest
one in WP of 37.25±7.9ml/kg/min (p<0.01). Heart rate at 10th min. exercise: in
SP-156±10/min, in KP-161±12/min. and in WP-162±12/min. No differences were found
for hematological parameters among the sport player groups.
Due to obtained results, we may conclude that SP have the highest performances
regarding to the specific requirements. These findings show that much more strength
and endurance are related to high intensity sport with high dynamic demand such as
soccer than moderate intensity and low dynamic sports such as water polo and karate,
respectively.

Objective: We reported the accuracy of the superior glenohumeral joint injection and
side effects of biceps tendon penetration. The aim of this study was to investigate
whether or not indirect ultrasound guidance could increase accuracy of the
glenohumeral joint injection using the superior approach.
Design and Method: Twelve shoulders from 7 adult cadavers were anatomically
dissected after a dye injection had been performed, with cadavers in the supine
position. Before the injection, a clinician determined the injection point using the
ultrasound and more internal axial arm rotation compared previous study was
positioned. Injection confidence scores and injection accuracy scores were rated.
Results: The clinician’s confidence score were high in 92% (11 of 12 shoulders) and
injection accuracy scores were 100% (12 of 12 shoulders). The long heads of biceps
tendons were not penetrated at all.
Conclusions: Indirect ultrasound guidance and positioning shoulder internally rotated
at 60-70 degree during the superior glenohumeral joint injection would be very
effective way to avoid damage to the long head of biceps tendons and to get high
accuracy of injection.

CYCLOPS SYNDROME
Lima. L., Popik I., Casalta P., Simões M.I., Ermida V., Agostinho F., Cardoso J., Caldas J.
Objectives:
We pretend to describe the surgery and rehabilitation program targeted for two active
individuals with cyclops syndrome.
Methods:
We describe two case reports of young male athletes who developed symptoms and
nodule in the anterior cruciate ligament after reconstruction surgery.
Results:
The cruciate ligaments are a crucial intra-articular structure essential for the normal
function of the knee. They are frequently injured during complex movements in sports
and is a common debilitating condition that may keep the athlete away from
competition for long periods of time. One of the most used treatments for the
pathological laxity of the anterior cruciate ligament is the endoscopic reconstruction
with patellar tendon autograft, although not without its complications. One of them is
the cyclops syndrome, which is the formation of a fibrous nodule (termed cyclops
nodule). This complication has been reported in the last years mainly as a result of
anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and, not so commonly, after partial lesion
without surgical intervention.
Conclusion:
The rehabilitation program, along with the surgical technique, is of paramount
importance in the prevention and treatment of the Cyclops syndrome.

Objectives:
We pretend to create a simple, easy to apply and evidence based rehabilitation
program, taking into account the severity of the ligamentous disruption in cases of
ankle sprain.
Design and Method:
We searched databases from MEDLINE and Cochrane Library in order to develop a
systematic review of the latest randomized controlled trials available.
Results:
The ankle sprain is one of the most common sport related injuries and may include
lateral and medial ankle sprain and also syndesmotic sprain. It is well known that the
risk of subsequent ankle sprain in the active athlete is very high. The recurrence of this
problem is related to the possibility of developing chronic ankle instability.
Conclusion:
A good rehabilitation program is essential in order to avoid the recurrence of the
sprain and its chronification.

OBJECTIVE: Acute orbital compartment syndrome is a rare but treatable complication
of increased pressure within the confined orbital space. The condition presents with
recognizable physical findings and progressive visual deficit. We present clinical cases
that illustrates the concept of acute orbital compartment syndrome, each different
aetiology and their outcome following emergency intervention.
METHODS: Orbital compartment syndrome can occur in fractures of the
zigomatico-orbital complex following sports injuries. We present clinical examples of
this syndrome with varying aetiology, describing their management and outcomes,
RESULTS: the emergency procedure of choice for acute acute visual acuity loss
assosieted with acute orbital compartment syndrome is dissection of the lateral
canthus and disinsertion of canthal tendon, wich allows complete mobility of the lower
eyelid.
CONCLUSION: the rapid diagnosis and management of sight threatening acute orbital
compartment syndrome are the treatment of choice. Although the mechanism of
causation was different in each of the presented cases, all presented with similar
discernible physical signs and symptoms indicating impending irreversible visual
deterioration: all that reinforces the need for early intervention.

The Orchard Sports Injury Classification System is one of the world’s most commonly
used systems for coding injury diagnosis in sports injury surveillance systems. It was
developed in 1992 and is available for free. The OSICS-10.1 was released in 2010 and is
a slightly updated version of OSICS-10. Like the OSICS-10, OSICS-10.1 uses a 4 character
system and by virtue of a greater number of codes, is able to give more comprehensive
diagnostic differentiation.
The aim of this research was to review the practicality of the OSICS 10.1 within the
Military. Data was collected from a twice weekly sports medicine clinic that was held
within a regional military base in the Middle East. Over a 12 month period spanning
2010 and 2011, 1944 visits were registered, of which 630 were new cases. The new
cases were classified utilizing the 4 character system of the OSICS 10.1. The findings
indicated an injury distribution that was similar to the findings in other military studies
with preponderance for lower limb injuries (53%) and torso injuries (21%).
This study further emphasized that the OSICS 10.1 is an efficient and practical
classification for sporting injuries. Its utilization within the military setting carries
merit. However, the introduction of certain parameters pertinent to the military
scenario, such as recruitment findings, would possible make this system a more
encompassing one.

Low-volume high-intensity intermittent training has been shown to produce
substantial improvements in aerobic exercise capacity and glycemic homeostasis. Thus,
this novel time-efficient training paradigm has been suggested to use as a strategy to
reduce metabolic risk factors in sedentary populations. However, whether an acute
low-volume high-intensity intermittent exercise (LHIE) would affect QTc interval, an
index of ventricular depolarization/repolarization, is not known. The purpose of this
study was to examine QT interval before and after an acute LHIE bout. Eleven obese
sedentary adults (age: 25.3 ±4.8yr; BMI: 32.4 ± 3.9) performed a LHIE session consisted
of four “all-out” 30-s Wingate tests with 4 min of recovery. QT interval (corrected by
heart rate, QTc) was measured pre-exercise, immediately post-exercise and at 30-min
intervals thereafter within 180 min. QTc length increased (vs. pre-exercise: 419±14 ms,
p<0.05) immediately (462±11), 30min (447±15 ms) and 60min (438±17 ms) after HIE,
with an incomplete return at 90min (426±17ms, p=0.06) post-exercise. QTc length had
returned to baseline by 120 min (421±20ms) post exercise. Thus, during recovery from
acute HIE, there is prolongation of depolarization and repolarization of the ventricles.
Given drugs that produce mild QT prolongation (i.e., 5–10ms) in healthy individuals
have been found to induce much greater and clinically relevant prolongation in
susceptible populations (Indik et al. 2006), it is reasonable to speculate that risk of
untoward cardiovascular events is increased following such exercise, especially in
at-risk populations.

From January 2008 to January 2012 the echocardiographic method (FAST-ECHO) was
used for routine testing of athletes. 996 asymptomatic athletes were observed
consecutively. Echocardiography allowed us to identify 11 athletes (1.1%) with
bicuspid aortic valve (BAV). These subjects underwent a complete cardiological
check-up and in all eleven athletes the diagnosis of bicuspidia was confirmed. Of
these 11 athletes, 10 (90.9%) presented the most frequent phenotype, ie.
antero-posterior (R-L) and 1 the right-left (R-N) phenotype.
In 2 subjects
(18.18%) an ectasia (<45mm) of the aortic ascendant was observed. One of these
subjects presented an association with the right-left phenotype.
Of those
remaining , 5 (45.45%) had no valvular problems, 3 (27.27%) presented a mild and
hemodynamically irrelevant aortic insufficiency , 1 subject (9.09%) presented a
mild-moderate regurgitation and 1 subject (9.09%) presented a mild valvular
steno-insufficiency. All subjects continue in physical activity and follow-up – no
drop-outs reported.
Conclusions
The addition of the echocardiographic method FAST ECHO in sports medicine testing
allowed for the diagnosis of a congenital cardiopathy such as bicuspid aortic valve
(often misdiagnosed) in asymptomatic athletes, in which the pathology was not yet
known. Given that only a brief training period is necessary in M and B-Mode and
Color Doppler echocardiography with a cardiologist as tutor the benefits are clear.
Hence, FAST-ECHO should become an integral part of routine screening of both
amateur and competitive athletes.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to characterize the blood pressure response to
physical exercise in young athletes.
Material and method: We studied 711 young athletes (457 boys, 254 girls) between
the ages of 10 to 18 years (mean age 13,41 ± 3,12 years) training different sports
disciplines. Studied subjects trained for 1 hours to 24 hours per week, an average of
7,62 hours ± 4,2 hours. They have been training for 1 year to 15 years, an average of
4,01 ± 2,5 years. All of studied subjects underwent physical examination and
submaximal, symptom-limited, multistage protocol exercise test on cycloergometr.
Blood pressure measurements were performed at rest, in the third minute of each
stage of the exercise test and during the restitution.
Results: Mean systolic blood pressure measured at the peak of exercise was
significantly higher in boys than in girls (181,8 ± 29,39 mmHg and 165,1 ± 23,1
respectively) while mean diastolic blood pressure measured at the peak of exercise
was 77,6 ± 7,7 mmHg in boys and 75,1 ± 8,35 mmHg in girls. These values did not differ
significantly between children training various sport disciplines, but were dependent
on age. Relation between blood pressure, the load during exercise test and the age of
young athletes was shown by the linear regression model.
Conclusions: Analysis of the results enabled to describe the reference values of blood
pressure measurements during exercise which in practice will be helpful in early
diagnosis of hypertension or white coat hypertension in young athletes.

OBJECTIVE: We describe the burden of medical and psychosocial distress affecting elite
athletes relative to the general population of Haiti after the 2010 earthquake.
DESIGN AND METHOD: The study group comprised 111 athletes, aged 12-18 years,
training for the Pan American and Olympic games. The control group comprised an
equal number of age- and gender- matched children from the general population.
Medical teams assessed subjects using history and physical examination, while
psychosocial teams employed the Child Psychosocial Distress Screener. A p-value <
0.05 was statistically significant.
RESULTS: The most prevalent medical complaint in athletes was musculoskeletal
pain, which was significantly more common than in the controls (49.0% versus 2.9%).
All other medical complaints were significantly more common in the controls than
athletes: abdominal pain (28.8% versus 4.8%), headache (22.1% versus 5.8%), fever
(15.4% versus 1.0%), and malnutrition (18.3% versus 1.9%). In contrast, there was no
significant difference in mean psychosocial scores and the proportion of scores
indicating treatment between athletes and controls.
CONCLUSIONS: Haitian athletes have a low prevalence of most medical complaints
after the disaster, suggesting that they may be protected from risk factors affecting the
general population. However, athletes have a high prevalence of musculoskeletal
ailments and were not protected from psychosocial distress. This presents an
opportunity for sports medicine physicians and mental health providers to engage in
efforts to rebuild Haiti on an individual level by providing targeted care to athletes and
on a larger scale by supporting international sports competition, which enhances
human capital and facilitates public diplomacy.

Objective: To investigate the effect of SB and DB ACL reconstruction in the medial
meniscus-deficient knee.
Methods: Sixteen fresh frozen knees were divided into single-bundle and double
–bundle reconstructed groups. A robot/universal force moment system (UFS) testing
system was used to test anterior tibial translation (ATT), internal rotation (IR) and
external rotation (ER) . Test was performed on the intact knee, medial
meniscus-deficient knee, after ACL resection and single-bundle or double bundle
anatomical ACL reconstruction.All the ACL reconstructions were done by three-portal
technique. For DB group, the AM and PL tunnel positions were selected in the middle
of AM and PL insertion sites on both femur and tibia. For the SB group, the tibial and
femoral tunnels were drilled between the center of AM and PL insertion sites of the
tibia and femur.
Results: There is significant difference for IR and ER degree between the medial
meniscus deficiency status and ACL deficiency status. (P<0.01) Anatomic
double-bundle reconstruction group reduced ATT more than anatomic single-bundle
group in 30 and 60 degree knee flexion(P<0.05) especially in 60 degree(P<0.01).
Anatomic double-bundle reconstruction can decrease more IR angle than anatomic
single-bundle.
Conclusion: Medial meniscectomy showed some effects on internal and external
rotation in 30 and 60 flexion degrees. Anatomic double-bundle ACL reconstruction
could reduce internal rotation laxity compared with the anatomic single-bundle ACL
reconstruciton in medial meniscus deficient model.

Sudden death in athletes is due to cardiovascular diseases. In young athletes, the
leading causes are congenital cardiac diseases. But most of deaths in older athletes are
due to coronary artery disease. Therefore, in order to prevent sudden death, it is
better that the athletes were screened for the cardiovascular diseases before
competition. Functional disturbances of the vascular wall may occur early in the
atherosclerotic process even before the anatomical changes of intima-media
thickening become perceptible. Therefore the study of dynamic arterial wall properties
in major arteries is becoming more common. This study focuses on a computerized
analyzing method for the detecting the instantaneous changes of the far and the near
walls of the common carotid artery in sequential ultrasound images by applying the
maximum gradient algorithm. The algorithm was evaluated in in-vivo study on the
common carotid artery of 10 healthy volunteers. Local measurements of vessel
intensity, intensity gradient and boundary continuity are extracted for all of the
sequential ultrasonic frames throughout three cycles. We extracted the instantaneous
changes of the far the near arterial walls and so the lumen diameter. The manual
measurements were applied and compared for validation of automatic method. Then
peak systolic, end diastolic and mean diameters extracted by automated method were
compared with the same parameters measured by manual method throughout three
cycles. It is proposed that by extraction of the instantaneous movement of arterial
walls, we can detect atherosclerosis in the early stages of disease process

INTRODUCTION
Cardiac Rehabilitation is associated with a reduction between 20% and 30% in
mortality in patients recovering from heart disease. Adherence to rehabilitation
programs is a key component to evaluate the effectiveness in cardiac secondary
prevention and improvement in life quality. The aim of this study is to verify patient
characteristics associated to adherence in a Multiprofessional Cardiac Rehabilitation
Program.
METHODS
The study involved a review of medical records of patients that entered CIME
cardiac rehabilitation program within the period of January 2008 and July 2011. The
reasons for abandonments were actively monitored. Adherence was measured by the
ratio of the number of abandonments and the total of patients who started the
program during the period. Statistical analyses for the frequencies of abandonments in
different categories were measured through the chi-square test with a significance
level of 5%.
RESULTS
The average age of the 101 patients who agreed to participate was 66 years. The main
reason for abandoning the program was health problems (29.4%), followed by
personal reasons (23.5%), factors associated with the programs (22.1%) unknown
reasons (13.2%) and other kinds of exercises or locals to practice them (11.8%). There
were significant associations of individuals who remained in Cardiac Rehabilitation
with Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (31.2% vs. 17.7%, p = 0.02), Heart Failure (7.8% vs.
1.6%, p = 0.04), Arrhythmias (16.9% vs. 4.8%, p = 0.01) and dyslipidemia (74.0% vs.
56.5%, p = 0.02).
CONCLUSIONS
Adherence in cardiac rehabilitation programs is associated with disease severity and
deterioration of health status can compromise it.

AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate the cardiovascular response of a group of
pre-diabetic subjects underwent of a combined strength and aerobic training program.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A sample of thirty-three overweight and pre-diabetic
subjects (25 female, 8 men, 55.6 ± 5.38, years, BMI: 35.57 ± 6.05) completed the
training program as follows: 5 minutes of continuous running at 5 km/h for 4 sets
interspersed by 4 minutes of upper limbs counter-resistance exercises. Heart rate was
monitorized during the entire training session by mean of Polar RS 400
RESULTS: During the 5 km/h running the subjects worked at 71.0 ± 7.7% of Fmax T,
while during the 4 periods of 4 minutes counter-resistance exercise the heart rate has
amounted at 65.1 ± 7.1% of Fmax T. There was a significant difference between the
heart rate measured during the 5 minutes of 4 series of gear vs. 4 minutes for 4 series
of exercises against resistance for the upper limbs (p <0.03). The average heart rate
measured during the 36 minutes of exercise was 67.8 ± 7.7% of Fmax T.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results demonstrate that the proposed training protocol combined
by aerobic-strength exercises is in line with the main international guidelines on the
prescription of exercise intensity in pre-diabetic and obese population.

Key words: obesity, physical activity,Those patients affected by obesity and associated
cardiac disease represent a challenge for rehabilitation. Medical literature does not
offer indications with respect to the optimal elaboration of programmes for physical
rehabilitation, which hold account of both the cardiac aspects and also the metabolic
ones tied to the high-grade obesity. The association of indirect calorimetry to the
ergometric test could represent a useful instrument in this respect
In a group of obese patients (n= 57, M=48, F =9, medium age 55,1 ± 12,0), hospitalized
for multidisciplinary assessment and rehabilitation in the metabolic ward or day-care
ward for obesity with associated cardiac diseases, the rehabilitation program was set
up after ecg stress test with indirect calorimetry for the appraisal of the VO2 max.
Regarding to the formula traditional used for the training calculation of the cardiac
frequency (i.e. 220 - age in years), the value of training cardiac frequency (CF)
evaluated in the subjects with cardiac disease on the basis of the result of the coupled
ergometric test and indirect calorimetry, turned out to be significantly lower than the
theoretical value, which therefore resulted to overestimate the optimal training
cardiac frequency.
During the rehabilitation period, no adverse events occurred during - or immediately
after - the prescribed aerobic physical exercise at the training CF set the base of the
coupled indirect calorimetry-ergometric test.
Conclusions: indirect calorimetry to ergometric ECG test represents a useful tool in the
optimization of the programming of the physical rehabilitation in obese patients with
associated cardiac disease.

The level of maximal lipid oxidation at exercise (LIPOXmax or FATmax) is an exercise
intensity, variable among individuals, at which a steady state exercise performed over
45-60 minutes uses the greatest lipid/carbohydrate ratio and thus minimizes
carbohydrate waste. This level has been demonstrated to be highly reproducible if
tested in standardized conditions and is modified by a host of physiological or
pathological situations. Whether it is stable over long periods of time remained
unknown. We had the possibility to measure this stability in a database of 1600
exercise calorimetries performed in our unit since 1998 and including several patients
that did not modify their exercise or eating habits and re-tested after a mean interval
of 30 months. Patients (n=11) represented a wide range of age (28- 74 years), body
mass index (22 to 46.7 kg/m²) and aerobic capacity, their LIPOXmax ranged between a
power of 18 to 123 watts and their maximal fat oxidation rate (MFO) ranged between
75 and 423 mg/min. There was a remarkable stability of the LIPOXmax expressed in
crude power (r=0.993 p<0.001; Bland Altman plots: mean difference -2.36 CI: [-3.33 to
8.06]. MFO was less reproducible over those long periods of time (r=0.694 p<0.02 ;
mean difference 4 CI: [-53 to 61]). Therefore, the power at which lipid oxidation
reaches a maximal during exercise remains stable over a mean period of 30 months if
diet and exercise habits are not modified.

Background: Benefit of fitness on children affected by Type 1 Diabetes (T1DM) is still
debated. Aim: to evaluate the influence of regular physical activity on metabolic
balance and exercise tolerance in prepubertal children affected by T1DM.
Methods: We analyzed 35 prepubertal T1DM children compared with 31 matched
controls using activity monitor (SenseWear Armbad, SWA) and physical activity
questionnaire (PAQ) to assess energy expenditure, total and active (EE), self-reported
and measured sedentary and physical activities. Maximal cardiopulmonary exercise
test (CPET) was also performed.
Results: Total physical activities and total and active EE (>3 Mets) resulted higher in
controls than T1DM patients and that self reported perception of physical and
sedentary activities was altered in T1DM children as well in controls and different
from measured data. No difference were found in CPET parameters with exception
than a higher maximal blood pressure in T1DM children. In multivariate analysis HbA1c
negatively correlated with VO2.
Conclusion: Prepubertal T1DM children seem to have lower level of physical activity
and EE and a probable altered feeling of physical and sedentary activities. On the other
hand T1DM children do not show alteration of cardiovascular performance, although
the glycemic control (HbA1c) may play a role in cardiovascular performance.

Introduction. Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative pathology of the cartilage.
Its prevalence increases with age, causing pain and articular impairment. The aim of
this study is to determine the effectiveness of an exercise program on pain and
physical function for patients with early knee OA.
Material and methods. Twenty subjects over 50 with early knee OA (grade 1 and 2 of
Ahlback classification) were enrolled in the study. They agreed to participate in a 16
weeks exercise program based on improvement of aerobic fitness, range of motion
and lower limb muscle strength and stretching. Exercise program differs in dosage
(frequency, intensity and duration). All participants completed the following
questionnaires: SF-36 and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis
Index (WOMAC) at baseline and after 16 weeks. Moreover they performed physical
test: Six-minute Walking test (6MWT). After walking test, patients were asked to fill a
visual analog scale.
Results. The results of 6MWT test increased from the baseline to the last follow-up.
Patients reported reduced pain during the follow-up period, indicating a trend toward
better walking capacity. In the same way, patients showed significant improvement in
SF-36 and WOMAC scores at final follow-up.
Conclusion: Physical activity is considered to be an important non-pharmacologic
treatment approach in the management of early knee OA. The goal of exercise therapy
in OA patient is to reduce pain and disability. Therefore, a good exercise program
aiming at improvement of knee muscle strength, stretching, joint stability, range of
motion and aerobic fitness can be proposed.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to evaluated the relationships between Physical
Activity Levels, Quality of life and risk to develop the Type 2 Diabetes in a group of
overweight and pre-diabetic subjects.
DESIGN AND METHOD: thirty-three overweight and pre-diabetic subjects (25 female, 8
men; 55,6±5,38, years, Body Mass Index: 35,57±6,05) were investigated. The short
version of International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and Short-form Health
Survey 36 (SF-36) were used to assess the different levels of Physical Activity (PA), time
spent sitting (S), and Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL), respectively. The risk to
develop type 2 diabetes was calculated using a non-invasive model. The relationships
between PA levels, HRQoL components, Mental (MSC) and Physical Summary
Component (PSC) and Type 2 Diabetes risk score (T2DRS) were analyzed by Pearson’s
correlation.
RESULTS: A significant correlation was found between energy expenditure during PA
(kcal/week) and both MSC (r=0.48;p<0.05) and PSC (r=0.56;p<0.005). Moreover, the
T2DRS was inversely associated with PSC (r=-0,60;p<0.005) and MSC (r=-0,46;p<0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: Our results demonstrated that the high risk to develop the Type 2
diabetes was associated with low levels of HRQoL in pre-diabetic subjects. Based on
these findings, it seems to be important emphasize the usefulness of HRQoL
questionnaire during the baseline assessment and also to keep under control the
variations produced by the physical training process.

Objective: Evidence of the benefits of physical activity to an individual, the economy
and society are indisputable.¹ Training of medical professionals is a key strategy that
must be adopted to address current low physical activity levels.¹ No study to date has
assessed medical students' knowledge of physical activity guidelines. The aim of the
current study was to assess final year Scottish Medical Student’s knowledge of the risk
of physical inactivity and of the current United Kingdom’s physical activity guidelines.
Design and method: Questionnaires were completed (n=177) by a non-selected group
of final year medical students in two Scottish Universities prior to and after a
presentation on the current guidelines.
Results: Physical inactivity was perceived the least important risk factor to global
mortality, ranked behind tobacco, diabetes, obesity and hypertension. 40% stated they
were aware of current guidelines but 68% were able to correctly identify them for
adults. In comparison, 97% correctly identified the United Kingdom’s alcohol
guidelines. 52% stated they felt inadequately trained to give physical activity to the
general public.
Conclusions: This study indicates that: medical students underestimate the risk of
physical inactivity; that physical activity guidelines are not as well-known as other
health promotion guidelines; and that, medical students are unconfident giving
physical activity advice. Further education of this health professional group is essential
if future Doctors are to play the key role in physical activity promotion.

Introduction. Heart Rate Turbulence (HRT) is an indipendent predictor of
cardiovascular mortality in patients after myiocardial infarction.The HRT is a measure
of autonomic response to perturbations of arterial blood pressure after single
Ventricular Premature Contraction(VPC)1.The present study aimed at investigating the
effects of physical training on HRT in patients post-CABG.Materials and methods.The
study enrolled 7 male patients with ischaemic heart disease undergoing coronary
artery bypass grafting and left ventriculare ejection fraction>50%.Each subject
performed an eight-week cardiac rehabilitation aerobic program consisting of 40
min.daily session of cycle ergometry.At baseline and after training program a 24-h
ambulatory ECG registrations were performed to assess HRT. We investigated the
same morphology of VPC Before and after training. HRT was determined among
subjects with single ventricular VPC.The data were processed with software Misha
(Mortara-Rangoni Instrument[R]-Italy).Two parameters,Turbulence Onset (TO) and
Turbulence Slope (TS),were calculated.Particularly,TO describes the early acceleration
phase of HR following a VPC and TS describes the dynamics of late deceleration of HR
after a VPC.Significance level was set at p<0,05.Results. We observed changes for both
HRT indices after training program. The average values for TO decreased from
–0,32% to –0,49%;TS increased from 3,53 to 7,66 ms/RR intervall. Conclusions.The
results indicate a favourable effect of aerobic training on cardiac autonomic
functioning in post-CABG subjects. It is possible that physical exercise modulates
cardiac autonomic control by lessening sympathetic influence and enhancing vagal
tone.HRT should be considered as good tool to evaluate this shift.

Physical inactivity and low cardiorespiratory fitness are major risk factors for chronic
disease and premature mortality. In the US, only a third of patients are advised to
exercise or continue being physically active by their physician. Tools and strategies are
needed to support clinicians taking a meaningful role in promoting physical activity
with patients.
Objective: Using a quality improvement approach, develop and implement a clinical
process that supports assessment and promotion of physical activity in adult patients
within a primary care setting.
Design & Methods: A multidisciplinary team was recruited including physicians, clinical
assistants, clinic receptionists, and clinic management. Key elements in support of
change were identified, including: 1) motivation of key stakeholders to achieve the
target for change; 2) resources necessary for change; and 3) motivators for change
outside the clinical practice.
Results: The clinical practice implemented a physical activity vital sign to promote
assessment of physical activity at every clinical encounter. Patient education materials
were developed and distributed to patients. Medical records from 565 clinic visits were
reviewed. Mean patient age was 61.4 years (18-98). Females represented 54% of visits,
males 46%. Physical activity assessment and counseling increased from a mean of 44%
(22-69) of visits at baseline to 78% (57-93) of visits.
Conclusions: Assessment and counseling for physical activity during office visits
increased. The tools, process and documentation of physical activity assessment and
counseling evolved based on the experiences of the quality improvement team.

AIM OF THE STUDY
When to use MRI to integrate transthoracic echocardiography in order to permit
sports activity in patients with heart disease?
44-year old patient, insulin dependent diabetic, surgically treated for Fallot tetralogy
with thoracic aorta of 55 mm. Patient underwent sports medicine and cardiological
check-up every year, and was also studied with transthoracic echocardiography to
define cardiac output and general situation. He underwent an ecg stress test and a test
of maximal oxygen consumption to define cardiac output during exercise and increase
in thickness of heart valves during stress phase. High magnetic field cardiac MRI with
contrast performed to confirm echocardiography results and to determine the
significance of the aortic regurgitation.
RESULTS
MRI confirmed the ultrasound diagnosis of a dilation of the aortic bulb and allowed to
better define the size of the left ventricle and right atrium (both increased), with
preserved systolic function.
MRI better defines and quantifies the jet of aortic valve regurgitation toward the
anterior leaflet of the mitral valve, and hence defines it as acceptable for
non-competitive sports activity.
CONCLUSIONS
Thanks to improved definition of morphological and functional aspects, cardiac MRI
allows to better define condition and performance of an athlete’s heart after surgery,
with a more precise definition of modification of valves and flows.
The present case study demonstrates how physical activity, even in subjects with
complex organic cardiopathy operated as adults is clearly positive in that it allows for
higher-level results in terms of cardiac and overall physical performance.

Jugular foramen syndrome is unilateral involvement of IX, X and XI cranial nerves. It is
usually due to malignancy, aneurysm or fracture. Although there have been several
reports about jugular foramen syndrome by fracture and inflammation, cases by
varicella zoster virus are rare.
A 32-year-old man, who complained of left ear pain, hoarse voice, swallowing
difficulty for 5 days, presented at the emergency room. There were vesicular skin
lesions in the left auricle. On neurologic examination, his uvula was deviated to the
right side and left vocal cord palsy was noted on laryngoscopy. The paresis of left
shoulder was seen. The electrodiagnostic examination showed the abnormalities
compatible with left spinal accessory neuropathy. Considering mentioned above, he
had a multicranial neuritis affecting IX, X, and XI left cranial nerves with herpes zoster
infection.
We report a case of jugular foramen syndrome by varicella zoster virus infection with
ipsilateral hypoplasia of the jugular foramen, which has been rarely reported in Korea.

Aim: Epidemiological studies provided many evidences on the relevance of a correct
hydration during Physical Exercise (PE). An incorrect body composition and hydration
can also enhance cardiovascular risks. This study is aimed to investigate this concern
in a small group of hypertensive patients following an Exercise as Prescription
program. Methods: Thirteen patients were submitted to an individual exercise training
at moderate effort (3-4 METS). The Bioimpedance analysis (BIA) was carried out at the
beginning (T0) and after 5 months (T5) of physical exercise. In the same session an
Echocardiographyc exam was performed in order to evaluate the morphological and
functional myocardial parameters. Results: After 5 months of PE the bioelectrical data
have shown an evident increase of Intra Cellular Water (T0: 21,79±5,29 L, T5:
22,70±5,28 L) values with a parallel decrease of the Extra Cellular Water (T0:
18,44±3,60 L, T5: 17,67±3,33 L) resulting both in none substantial change of the Total
Body Water. Similarly there was an evident reduction of body weight (T0: 77,25±14,80
kg, T5: 75,31±14,97 kg) due to the Fat Mass values (T0: 23,99±9,89 kg, T5: 21,86±8,34
kg). The Echocardiographyc systo-diastolic parameter didn’t show any statistical
differences after 5 months of PE. Conclusion: the results are suggestive for an early
physiological improvement of the water distribution after a short period of regular
exercise as prescription therapy inducing an enhancement of water into the active
(Intra cellular) compartment. The BIA exam can timely identify this behaviour not
evaluable by the anthropometrics parameters.

Aim: Exercise as Prescription represents a therapy in many chronic diseases. More
recently the employment of the 6 Minute Walking Test (6MWT) for a regular
evaluation has been spread. The study is aimed to verify the role of the 6MWT in
predicting the progressive improvement of the heart performance. Methods: Eleven
hypertensive patients, were enrolled for this study. At the beginning (T0) and after 5
months (T5) of exercise program, at least three times a week at moderate intensity, a
6MWT was carried out to evaluate: meters (m), Peak Heart Rate (PHR), Peak
Respiratory Rate (PRR), Systolic and Diastolic blood pressure (SBP, DBP). In the same
session an Echocardiographyc exam was performed. Results: After 5 months there
was a trend: the distance in 6 minutes was in T0: 567,27±66,65 m in T5: 599,09±81,42
m. The PHR was in T0:134,36±12,13 b/min in T5:136,00±10,30 b/min, PRR resulted in
T0:30,00±4,38 r/min in T5:31,45±4,95 r/min. The SBP was in T0:137,73±14,89 mmHg in
T5:143,64±12,67 mmHg, while the DBP mean values were in T0:75,27±7,80 mmHg in
T5:70,91±5,84 mmHg. The Echocardiographyc parameters didn’t show any statistical
differences. Conclusion: A short period of exercise as prescription improves
the effort tolerance showed by the HR response at the peak of the exercise. The 6
MWT seems to be a sensible test much more than echo parameters whose
modifications need a longer period of observation. Otherwise the lung’s response to
the exercise does not seem to be apparently easy estimated in presence of exercise
program at moderate intensity.

Aim
Regularly scheduled physical activity leads to clinical (claudicatio intermittens) and
instrumental (postural reflexes) improvement in patients suffering from chronic
occluding arteriopathy.
Materials and methods
300 patients (40 women) with chronic occluding arteriopathy, 250 subjects at Leriche
stage IIa and 50 subjects stage IIb were studied. Mean age was 62.5 years with a range
55-71. For the assessment of our study, walking endurance with the treadmill test and
study of postural reflexes were considered. These evaluations were made at time 0
and after 6, 12 and 24 months and studied by Doppler, Winsor index and treadmill
test. Patients performed physical activity 1 hour a day, three times a week.
Results and Discussion
Doppler control, postural reflexes and Winsor index at the programmed steps
evidenced a continuous improvement of walking endurance at controls on the
treadmill. Over 10 years, we observed that the patients who continued practicing
physical activity (80%) improved walking endurance by 40% versus the starting values.

Aim of the study : How to decrease the health care costs in elderly becomes a critical
issue.Previous studies suggested that exercise might be beneficial for the elderly.
Hydraulic resistance circuit training is an effective and safety exercise for the elderly.
Materials and methods: Ten cardiovascular disorder participants (7 male and 3 female,
Age: 71.91±5.47 year-old) were recruited from the metabolic clinics. They participate
in a 36-hour (3 times per week for 3 month) exercise program in a classroom of college
with seven hydraulic resistance training equipment: chest press, leg abduction, arm
curls, deltoid press, leg press, back press, and knee extension . Between each
resistance training session, there was a stepping for subject to do aerobic stepping.

Oligomenorrhea has adverse effects on the athlete' s bone mineral density and
cardiovascular system. Hypoestrogenism as a result of energy imbalance is the possible
cause of the Female Athlete Triad. The aim of this study was to clarify the effects of
hormone therapy on bone mineral density and cardiovascular factors.
Method: A 9-month randomized clinical trial in the first part of which 22 female
athletes with a history of at least 2 years of oligo/amenorrhea, bone mineral
densitometry and some of the cardiovascular factors were measured. In the second
part of the study 18 athletes were randomized in two groups of OCP (n=10) and
control (n=8). After 9 months densitometry and cardiovascular lab study were
repeated.
Results: In the first assessment, BMD of athletes did not change significantly after 25.5
months of oligomenorrhea. Mean of all cardiovascular factors was in the normal range
except for HDL. Inverse relationship between the increase in the BMD of spine and
total cholesterol, Apo A, and VLDL and also positive correlation between BMD of spine
and HbA1C. In the second part, VLDL and Apo B reduced significantly in the OCP group.
Increase of Apo A was observed in control group.
Conclusion: There may be a common factor affecting both skeletal and cardiovascular
systems, as with the increase of the BMD of spine, there is a decrease in the amount of
lipid profile.. This study implys that although estrogen administration may not increase
bone density, it could have positive effects cardiovascular system, especially lipid
profile

Purpose: To present the results of a pioneer gynecological medical program during
the Pan American Games in Guadalajara 2011.
Methods: A qualified gynecologist, with expertise in Sports Medicine, and used to take
care of female athletes, was invited to be a member of the Brazilian Medical Group
during the Pan American Games in Guadalajara, 2011. Participants with gynecological
complaints were assigned to the doctors’ orientation and care. The appointments were
registered and recorded with relevant clinical information.
Results: Thirty three athletes (16,5%) received a medical consultation. Twenty eight
percent sought information regarding contraception methods, 17,9% complained
about dysmenorrhea and other 17,9% mentioned menstrual disturbances as
amenorrhea and metrorrhagia. One athlete mentioned to be bulimic and three breast
nodules were diagnosed. Additional complaints were related to vaginal discharge and
dyspareunia. All patients mentioned they would not talk about these questions to any
other member of the medical group.
Conclusion: Female athletes have singular needs and demand special care. Although
cardiologic and orthopedic follow-up are routinely undertaken, the lack of attention to
the gynecological aspects is a major issue. The participation of a gynecologist during
official Games was an original initiative in Brazil. We believe that this attitude help the
athletes to feel more comfortable to share their doubts, certainly stimulating them to
search for specific help.

Objective
There are not many studies on the hormonal regulation of male athletes, but some
evidence suggest that endurance athletes have decreased testosterone levels
compared to more sedentary control groups (Wheeler at al, 1984). It is known that
there is a relation between testosterone levels and sperm quality (Safarinejad et al,
2009). The main objective of this study was to determine how affect exercise in semen
quality.
Design and method
The study group consisted of 20 males between 18 and 36 years old, who volunteered
participate in the project anonymously. The population was divided into three groups:
the first one did not practice any exercise, the second group practiced an exercise from
1 to 3 times per week, and finally the latter group performed an exercise with a
frequency greater than 3 times per week and in some cases the intensity was higher.
The semen samples were analyzed following the World Health Organization (WHO)
criteria for quality sperm. For the statistical study was performed an ANOVA test.
Results
We have not found significant differences in the percentage of progressive motile
sperm, total production of progressive sperm, percentage of abnormal sperm
morphology and concentration, among the three groups studied, but we observed
subtle differences. We found an improvement in mobility in the exercise groups
compared with the sedentary group, but a decrease of concentration.
Conclusions
Although we do not have significant differences, there is a tendency which suggests
that moderate sport improves semen quality.

Introduction: In recent years, studies have highlighted the importance of genetic
factors in the pathogenesis of non-contact soft tissue injuries. We have analyzed the
relationship between SNPs in genes related to tissue repair and regeneration and the
frequency and recovery time of non-contact tissue injuries.
Material and Methods: Data was collected on injuries (type, degree and recovery time)
in 73 elite football players. In blood, SNPs in the following 8 genes were analyzed:
Elastin (Eln); Titin; SRY-related HMG-box; Insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2);
Chemokine, CC motif, ligand 2 (CCL2); Collagen type 1 alpha 1; Collagen type 5 alpha 1
(COL5A1) and Tenascin C. SNP analysis was performed using a real-time polymerase
chain reaction (PCR) Allelic Discrimination TaqMan Assay.
Results: 242 injuries were recorded (203 were muscle, 24 were joint, and 15 were
tendon). The degree of muscle injury was related to IGF2 (P=0.032). Moreover, we
observed a close but non-significant relation between degree of muscle injury and
CCL2 (P=0.1) and COL5A1 (P=0.07) and between Eln and degree (P=0.09) and recovery
time (P=0.089) of joint injuries. Non-significant relation was observed between genes
and degree or recovery time for tendon.
Conclusion: These results may be due to several factors. Eln is a major source of tissue
elasticity, and IGF plays an important role in mitogenesis and myogenesis during
muscular development, regeneration and hypertrophy and in readaptation processes.
COL5A1 modulates fibrillogenesis, and CCL2 expression is known to increase after
muscle injury, indicating a key role in inflammatory processes.

Aim: The aim of this study was the evaluation of relation between alpine skiing success
and ACE, NOS3, HBB gene polymorphisms.
Methods: The athletes were classified according to their alpine skiing performance as
Elite National Group, National Group, Divisional Group and Control Group. Also all
volunteer groups divided into gender groups. Totally 91 volunteers participated in this
study. ACE I/D polymorphism, NOS3 -786 T/C polymorphism, HBB -551 C/T
polymorphism and expression levels were analyzed from blood samples by using PCR
methods. Polymorphism results were analyzed chi-square test. Also Mann-Whitney U
test was used for expression analysis.
Results: ACE D/D genotype was found significantly higher in the Elite National Male
Group and the National Female Group (p<0.05). Although NOS3 -786 T/C
polymorphism results didn’t differ in groups significantly, C/C genotype was found at
lower level in the all skier groups. HBB -551 C/T genotype had no significant difference
in the voluntary groups. Expression results of ACE gene were significantly lower in the
all skier groups than Control Female Group. Control Female Group’s expression results
of NOS3 gene were significantly higher than Divisional Female Group(p<0.05). HBB
gene expression levels had no significant differences in the all groups.
Conclusions: These results show that the presence of ACE I/D and particularly D/D
genotype, also the lack of NOS3 C/C genotype is strongly correlated with alpine skiing
performance. ACE and NOS3 gene expression results might be affected by athletic skill
factors. We thought that ACE and NOS3 gene was associated with elite alpine skiing
performance.

PURPOSE: One of the genes of the health-related fitness phenotype is a PPARα coding
for peroxisome proliferator activator receptor alpha, a central regulator of expression
of genes involved in fatty acid metabolism. The aim of our research was to study the
role of polymorphism of PPARα gene in performance enhancing in Italian soccer
players.
METHODS: Sixty professional soccer players and thirty sedentary volunteers were
enrolled in the study. Samples of venous blood were obtained at rest in the morning by
conventional clinical procedures. Serum was collected and lipid profile was measured
by using a commercial kit. An aliquote of anticoagulant-treated blood was used to
prepare genomic DNA from mononuclear cells. The polymorphic site in PPARα intron 7
was scanned by using PCR-RFLP protocol with Taq I enzyme.
RESULTS: We found variations among genotype distribution of PPARα in professional
soccer players versus sedentary volunteers. To enphatyzed this correlation, we also
investigated lipidic profile variation.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results evidenced an high expression of G allele as well as GG
genotype in accordance with other studies that associate this genotype with
endurance performance. So PPARα G allele may be considered an endurance relates
allele. We can explain this one because PPARα is an important factor that regulate the
balance between fatty acid and glucose metabolism. Moreover, we analyzed the
correlation between G allele distribution and athletes lipid profile but we didn’t find
any correlation.

with100masters
athletes(mean
age50.0±6.7y)and51sedentary
subjects(mean
age51.1±5.7y),subjects
were
cardiovascular risk factors free.BMI was calculated and sport activity recordered by
questionnaire(7.0 ±2.6hours/week).The subjects were subjected to detection left and
right common carotid IMT with B-mode ultrasonography and Doppler ultrasound
cardiac;later played in treadmill test with modified Bruce protocol(gradual increase in
workload every2minutes and detection rate and blood pressure at rest,at peak and
at4minute of recovery time) and MAPcalculation.
RESULTS:left IMT values are greater in both groups,athletes(635±104 leftIMT,614±104

sedentaries(leftIMT622±90;rightIMT633
±78;averageIMT627±78).There are relationships between IMT and peak systolic
blood pressure in both groups(sport R0.28p <0.01;sedentaryR0.32p0.02),IMT and
mean arterial pressure in the group of athletes(restR0.25p 0.01;peak R0.23p0.02)and
IMT and age in both groups(sportR0.30p<0.01,sedentaryR0.30p0.03). No significant
correlations between IMT and BMI in either group,nor between IMT and weekly hours
of sport activity.
CONCLUSION:study confirme role of aging in processes of wall carotid thickening.It
show a correlation between carotid IMT and blood pressure at the peak of the effort
that confirms the effects of high blood pressure on enlargement of carotid wall and so
mutual that high IMT values induce a minor vascular compliance under stress with
consequent increase in blood pressure values.Our data show there are no effects of
exercise in reducing IMT in subjects of similar age without vascular risk factors.

Childhood obesity is reaching epidemic proportions and requires intervention.
OBJECTIVE. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a
structured program of physical activity developed by specialists, complied for
monitoring of trend for specific parameters as weight, blood pressure, ECG, SPO2, in
children in primary school, using telematics applications for the remote monitoring of
the results.
DESIGN AND METHOD. The study population is composed by students of both sexes
attending the primary school. Two groups of students were identified: Group A,
submitted to the specific physical activity and Group B, engaged in a normal school
activity. Both groups are periodically remote monitored using ECG that was recorded
by “Resting ECG system” installed directly on PC and sent by mail to other PC with the
same analysis software.
RESULTS. At the time of writing, students finalized the first phase of remote testing
and started the protocol of physical activity. Actually, no differences in the monitored
parameters were present between the two groups.
CONCLUSIONS. This study will provide valuable information for planning a preventive
action for the treatment of obesity, metabolic and cardiovascular risk factors in
children. The use of telematics control will allow to manage/control/monitor the
activity in remote with the potential of immediate interventions.

Objective. The aim of this work was to optimize the functional state (FS) of anxious sixto eight-year-old schoolchildren on the basis of the use of physical exercises and the
set of means of self-regulation.
Design and method. Children aged six to eight years assigned to the basic medical
group (n=214) based on the state of health participated in the study. The personality
features were studied using Amen’s projective school-related anxiety test, the SMAS
overt anxiety scale, and the incomplete sentences method.
Results. The study aimed at optimizing the FS of anxious six- to eight-year-old children
showed that integrated use of physical exercises of a mainly aerobic character,
relaxation training, respiratory exercises, and functional music is more effective in the
long-term aspect than selective use of these means. Only physical exercises exert a
marked influence in the FS of anxious children under a stressful informational load.
Conclusions. Apparently, long-term adaptation to an adequate muscular activity
ensures improved functioning of, and a better interaction between, the activating and
inactivating structures of the modulating brain system located at different levels of the
CNS, in particular, in the frontal cortical areas. It is emphasized that the peculiarities of
the influence of different means of regulation of the FS on the body of anxious
elementary school children are, largely determined by the immaturity of the
frontothalamic regulatory system and the specifics of the functional organization of
the limbic brain structures. This study was supported by the Russian Foundation for
the Humanities (no.11-06-00182a).

The group, consisting of 936
students Forlì schools, was subjected to an
epidemiological survey related to observation and collection of anthropometric
parameters Two one-hour meetings were scheduled in a two-weeks time frame in
each of the participating schools. The epidemiological investigation consisted of the
submission of a pre-test and post-test anonymous questionnaire, to investigate the
students eating and exercise behaviors, their awareness regarding foods nutritional
values, the accessibility to sports clubs . Following the pre-test questionnaire,
interactive lectures were provided to the students. The questionnaire was made by 39
items broken down into 3 sections: personal identifying data:1) age, sex, BMI.
2) Lifestyle and sport activity.
3) Food behaviour and food awareness.
The decision to submit the pre-test leads to estimate the student’s awareness and
interest regarding the survey topic and to recognize the effectiveness of our
communication procedure. The post-test pointed out the following statements:
- Non-answer percentage increased (lack of interest for a discussed topic?)
- 56% of males and 68% of females’ students had a W.N.L BMI
- Most of the students has an healthy lifestyle, and respects the meal routine
- Correct answers percentage increased - Sports clubs trainers do not provide
education regarding nutrition during competitions and training sessions
- Students show unfamiliarity with food nutrients The survey shows the importance to
introduce nutrition concepts to students, starting to manage their diet buying food
independently. It is crucial for students to became familiar with food nutrients such as
proteins, carbohydrates, fibers, fats, sugars, salt and minerals and with nutrition facts
labels.

Objective: To verify the association between physical activity level with age and gender
in prepubescent children. Materials and Methods: Participated in the study a sample of
1182 children, 612 boys (51.8%), with mean age of 8.4 years (SD=1.2), and mean body
mass index of 17.8 Kg/m2 (SD=3.01). The classification of nutritional status followed
the guidelines proposed by Cole et al (2000). The web-based questionnaire
‘WEBDAFA’, with 11 physical activity images and three categories (slow, fast and very
fast) was answered resulting in a general physical activity score, which was stratified by
quartiles (Q1= Insufficiently active; Q2= Moderately active; Q3= Active; Q4= Highly
active). Descriptive statistics and the Qui-square test were used to identify the
associations between the variables. Results: There was an association between
physical activity level and gender (x2= 26.22, p= 0,001). The percentage of girls (31.2%)
classified in the lower quartile of physical activity level was higher than boys (21.1%),
while frequencies in the highly active quartile was more elevated for boys (29.7%) than
girls (19.1%). A significant association between physical activity level and age was
found (x2= 63.88, p = 0.001). Six and seven-year-old children demonstrated to be less
active (44.9% and 38.1%) than eight and nine year olds (24.5% and 18.4%).
Conclusions: Boys are more physically active than girls, and both gender reached the
highest levels of physical activity at nine years of age.

Aim: To evaluate the prevalence in overweight/obesity children attended the primary
school [2007-08, (T1) in Ferrara, Italy] and the variation in prevalence by sex and
lifestyle.
Materials and Methods: 2.151 children [1.133 males (M), 1.018 females (F)] were
measured height, weight, Body Mass Index (BMI). Eating and physical activity habits
were evaluated by the compilation of a questionnaire. To evaluate the trend of BMI we
compared this study with a previous one performed in 2003-04 (T0).
Results: 22% were overweight and 9% were obesity. 74% engaged in regular physical
activity. Children’s parents: 56% both were sedentary, 29% only one was active, 15%
both were active.
10 years old children were allocated into 2 groups: active and not active. The mean
BMI was lower* in active group, M (T0: 19, T1: 18.8) and F (T0: 18.8, T1: 18.1). The
prevalence of overweight and obesity is lower* in active population (M: 28.9% vs
39.1%; F: 26.6% vs 31.9%). The prevalence of active children is higher* even if the
parents were active (91% vs 73%). We found a lower BMI, M: from (T0) 18.9 to (T1)
18.5, F: form (T0) 18.7 to (T1) 17.1.
Even the prevalence of overweight and obesity detected in the T1 study was lower*,
M: 38.3% (T0) vs 30.8% (T1), F: 38.1% (T0) vs 28% (T1).
(*T-test, P<0.05)
Conclusion: An active lifestyle has positive effect on body mass composition in primary
school children and the parents lifestyle influence children’s one, consequently one of
the prior educational effort should start from school.

OBJECTIVE To evidence Metabolic Syndrome prevalence in obese agonistic teenagers.
DESIGN AND METHOD 50 obese subjects, out of 4.757 agonistic teenagers, aged
between 12 and 17, examined at AUSL Parma Center of Sport Medicine from 2008 to
2011, underwent to evaluation, to determine Metabolic Syndrome presence according
to the Adult Treatment Panel III and to the International Diabetes Federation criteria
for children and adolescents. Anthropometric, clinical, laboratory, and medical history
data were evaluated. Sex and age percentiles in Italian population, aged between 2
and 20, were used to analyze waist circumference, weight, height, body mass index,
systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
RESULTS 22 out of 50 subjects (44%) met diagnostic criteria of Metabolic Syndrome
(42% according to the International Diabetes Federation classification): 5 with 4 risk
factors and 17 with 3 risk factors. 40 had insulin-resistance, based on Homeostasis
Model Assessment values. Total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were
respectively increased in 5 (10%) and in 22 (44%), triglycerides in 8 (16%), and the
high-density lipoprotein levels were lower in 32 (64%) subjects. 20 teenagers (40%)
showed blood hypertension. Although in this population family history of obesity was
present, birth weight didn’t seem to represent a risk factor for the development of
obesity later in adolescence.
CONCLUSION Our data confirm that Metabolic Syndrome is found also in adolescence.
Prevalence is in agreement with epidemiological reliefs about obese subjects in
pediatric age, and sport, also at agonistic level, don’t seem to counteract or diminish
the metabolic risk related to weight excess.

AIM: The Movement is Life project is part of the Regional Prevention Plan 2010-12. It
has been activated in Sardinia to encourage students to increase their levels of physical
activity and reduce the sedentary lifestyle.
MATERIAL AND METHODS The intervention will take place in 66 schools, 23 in the ASL
8 of Cagliari, for a total of 1200 students (cluster-sampling). The 25% between 6 and 9
years is overweight and 30% do not exercise enough (Okkio 2009). The prevalence of
overweight and obesity among 11 and 15 years old is of 14.9% and 3.7%. The 2009
HBSC data shows that only 25% of 15 years old girls do physical activity. The guys of
the 1st class of middle school will do physical activities for another 3 hours a week,
aspect highly recommended by the Task Force on Community Preventive Services. The
team of Sports Medicine's Hygiene Service ASL8 will detect BMI, abdominal
circumference and body composition and will involve School Directorates, teachers
and parents using brochures.
RESULTS This project intends to pursue an intensive prevention and surveillance of
habits, behaviors, unhealthy lifestyles where the overall goal of health is the increase
in motor extracurricular activity
CONCLUSIONS It is indispensable an integrated initiative with the school through
stable promotions and protections of health: a moderate-vigorous intensities physical
activity among teenagers, combined with proper nutrition, is among the most effective
tools for control of overweight, obesity and reduction of cardiovascular risk in
adulthood.

The subject with obesity and cardiac pathology is a special patient in terms of
rehabilitation. The literature, does not offer indications with respect to the optimal
elaboration of the program of motor overhauling, that it holds account is of
problematic the cardiological ones that of those metabolic ones tied to the obesity of
high degree. The associated indirect calorimetry to the ergometric test could
represent a useful instrument.
In a group of obese patients (n= 57, M=48, F =9, medium age 55,1 ± 12,0), hospitalized
in government of multidisciplinary assesment in Hospital or Day Hospital for obesity
with cardiac diseases, the rehabilitation program is set up after ecg stress test with
indirect calorimetry for the appraisal of the VO2 max.
Regarding the formula traditional used for the training calculation of the cardiac
frequency (220 - ages in years), the value of training F.C., advised in the subjects with
cardiac disease to us in study on the base of the result of the bound together
ergometric test to indirect calorimetry, turns out inferior and therefore an over
evaluation shows of the theoretical calculation.
During the period of rehabilitation, in no patient they have been marked adverse
events in cardiological within during - or immediately after - the prescribed aerobic
physical exercise on the base of the indirect calorimetry
Conclusions: the associated indirect calorimetry to ecg stress test represents a useful
instrument in the optimization of the programming of the motor overhauling in obese
patients with cardiac pathology.

OBJETIVE: To determine the efficacy of a logistic regression equation predicting sports
injuries.
DESIGN: Participants: 335 volleyball, basketball and football players from 17 to 32
years of mean age 24 ± 3.5) We determine the sports injuries for three seasons, and
relate to the time of training and competition.
FERNANDEZ-DE LA CRUZ’ INJURY PROBABILITY SCORE =
1/ 1+ e- (0.757 + LQA-0,647*TTD2)
Where LQA is the left knee Q angle and TTD2 is the squared value of the difference in
thigh thickness, demonstrating a 72.9% success rate for injury prediction (positive
prediction at 75.68%; negative prediction at 70.73%). This equation is applicable to
men as well as to women.
The overall percentage of correct classification was 68.6%. The cutoff point (0.5)
indicates that the subjects with values equal to or greater than 0.5 would be placed in
the “at risk” category, while a value less than the cutoff point would place them in the
“reduced risk for injury” category.
CONCLUSIONS: Logistic regression equations allow injury prediction for athletes, risk
calculation, and the opportunity for establishing the most effective and appropriate
measures to be taken. Its versatility and capacity for being applied to specific sports
groups allows personalized attention for each group.
The logistic regression analysis can be used as a valid method in determining
anthropometric parameters related to sports injuries, while providing a reliable and
simple method that can be used in the common practice of sports medicine.

OBJETIVE: The aim of the present investigation is, to develop a Standardized
Assessment Protocol including (1) physical evaluation (measures of anthropometry,
dinamometry, reaction time, and resitance), (2) physiological evaluation (measures of
arterial blood pressure, heart rate, and electrocardiogram), (3) behavioral evaluation
(measures of physical and sport activity, eating behavior, and drug consumption), and
(4) psychological evaluation (measures of impulsivity, attentional capacity, and
decision making) and to apply this Protocol to a large sample of Andalucian
adolescents (2400), aged between 12 and 18 years. Second, to examine in a sub-group
(624) of this sample the correlations between the non-linear measures of heart rate
variability and the four types of measures included in the Standardized Assessment
Protocol in order to better understand the fractal properties of heart rate fluctuations
and justify their use as an index of cardiovascular and psychological health.
DESIGN AND METHOD:
2400 adolescents (14-18 years; of Andalusia (Spain) (mean: 16.75 ± 2.4). 1275 men,
1125 women. We determined statistical measures of central tendency and dispersion
(statistical package SPSS 12.0).
RESULTS:
Physical hazard: 12.3 ± 3.65 % Sedentary: 35.5 ± 1.77. Overweight: 11.0 ± 2.70.
Hipertension (HPT) : 08.5 ± 3.30 overweight + HPT: 85.1 ± 2.61
(145.3 ± 12.76 mmhg) Psychological risk: 18.5 ± 4.10 (women: 75.9 ± 3.22
16-17 years: 77.5 ± 3.41)
CONCLUSIONS: In this adolescents there are serious risk factors associated with
physical inactivity, impulsivity and eating behavior disorders. Is important to prevent
physical activity and implementing healthy habits at home and at school.

Objective: to investigate the acute effects of static and dynamic stretching exercises
and the role of gender on dynamic balance.
Design and Methods: 67 recreational athletes; 33 males (age: 20.5 ± 2.3 years) and 34
females (age: 21.4 ± 3 years) were tested in three different protocols including the
control condition, static stretching and dynamic stretching exercises on 3 seperate
days, 48 - 72 hours apart. Before and after each protocol the double foot dynamic
balance were measured based on the isokinetic balance system. Each protocol
involved warm up for 5 minutes using the bicycle ergometer at 50 - 60 rpm 70 W.
Stretching exercises were applied on the four different bilateral lower extremity
muscle groups. For control condition after warm-up subjects were made to rest for 11
minutes and 45 seconds. The time period between the two dynamic balance
measurements was equal for each protocol. Statistical results were analysed using the
SPSS program (version 15.0). Statistical significance was reported at the level of
p<0.05.
Results: All three of the control, static stretching and dynamic stretching protocols
positively affect dynamic balance performance (p<0.01), that gender does not cause a
significant difference (p>0.05) and that the three exercise protocols do not have a
significantly different effect (p>0.05) was found.
Conclusions: These results showed that in the acute phase warm-up, static stretching
and dynamic stretching exercises affect dynamic balance performance positively for
both men and women, and that neither is significantly superior to the other in the
effect on dynamic balance performance.

Objective: Knee Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis in the old
adults especially in women. Knee OA associated with pain and stiffness of the joint and
decreased range of motion. The aim of this study was investigation the effects of
shallow water exercise on ROM and knee pain in elderly women with knee OA.
Methods: 30 elderly women with knee OA over 60 years old voluntarily participated in
present study. Knee pain was evaluated by KOOS questionnaire. Using Berg
questionnaire, the falling risk was evaluated. Range of motion (ROM) of the knee joint
was actively assessed using a standard goniometer. Then the subjects were divided
into experimental and control groups randomly. Experimental group underwent a
12weeks (three sessions per week) water exercise program. The control groups did not
participate in any training program. The evaluations were repeated after the treatment
sessions. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used for statistical analysis.
Results: After water exercise ROM Improved significantly (p=0.03). Also water exercise
reduced the knee pain (P= 0.008).
Conclusions: exercise in the water, where it declines weight bearing and stress on the
joints, due to increase ROM, decline the knee OA pain. it allows elderly with knee OA
to participate in this crucial way of staying healthy.

Background. The link between physical activity (PA) and cancer is undoubtedly
recognized. Physically active patients have been associated to a lower all-cause
mortality than non active. Moreover, recent studies have shown that PA reduces the
sequelae related to cancer and the side effects of cancer therapy, modifies biomarkers
associated with cancer development such as estrogen and adinopectin and improves
quality of life. Aim of the study is to evaluate the effects of a 12- week training
program on exercise capacity and health related quality of life (HRQOL) of breast
cancer survivors. These results will provide more evidence on the importance of a
planned exercise therapy in breast cancer patients.
Methods. We recruited female disease-free patients (aged 40 - 80) after traditional
treatment (surgery, and/or chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy). Inclusion criteria
were: an history of early stage breast cancer and a low physical activity level. On phase
1, at the hospital, the patients performed a stress test in order to measure peak
oxygen uptake (VO2 peak) and exclude silent coronary artery disease. On phase 2,
outside the hospital, the patients performed 12 weeks (3 times/wk) of supervised
tailored training. The training consisted of both resistance exercises, involving major
muscle groups, and aerobic exercises, walking or running on a treadmill. Every session
of training lasted 60 minutes. After the 12 weeks of training, patients performed
another stress test. Before and after training a HRQOL questionnaire was required.
Conclusion. Tailored supervised training program should become a cornerstone of
therapy in breast cancer patients, reducing the risk of recurrences, decreasing the
burden of cardiovascular diseases and improving quality of life.

Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the serum total antioxidant capacity,
bilirubin and malondialdehyde levels after an acute resistance and aerobic exercise in
healthy men. This study is a semi-experimental research.
Design and Method: 29 healtyh men participanted in the study and they were
randomly divided into three groups including acute resistance exercise group(N=10),
acute aerobic exercise group(N=10) and a control group(N=9). Participants had no any
choronic diseases, smoking and supplement foods. Total antioxidative capacity,
bilirubin and malondialdehyde were measured as dependent variables. When the
normal distribution of the data is approved by Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, we applied
the independent t-test, dependent t-test and analysis of variance for extraction of
results. Significance level was considered if p<0/05.
Results: Results showed that levels of bilirubin(p<0.006 and p<0.005 respectively) and
total antioxidative capacity(p<0.001 and p<0.02 respectively) significantly increased
after both acute resistance and aerobic exercises; but there was no significant changes
in malondialdehyde(p>0.05) levels. In addition, it is observed that mean changes of
antioxidant defence indices of serum had no any significant(P>0.05) differences
between groups.
Conclusion: Beased on the findings, performing of an acute resistance or aerobic
exercise may enhance antioxidative defense system of the body similarly and
consideration to the type and mode of exercise training, it could not make any
differences about induced responses to exercise.

Objective
The aim of the study was to analyse the effects of 12 weeks low frequency
(2days/week) explosive-type moderate-resistance training (EMRT) at 70% of 1RM on
cardiovascular fitness, functional capacity and on molecular markers.
Methods
Twenty-one medically stable men and women (72±3 yrs) were divided into training
(n=13) and control group (n=8). Cardiovascular fitness (ECG, hearth rate, blood
pressure) was assessed by maximal graded exercise stress test (GXT). Muscle power
was assessed with standardized countermovement jump (CMJ) and during leg
extension, leg curl, low row and chest press devices with load at 70% of 1RM recorded
at baseline (FreePower, Sensorize). Functional performance was measured by 6-m
walking (6MW) and stairs climbing (SC) tests. HSP70 and HSP27 were analyzed by
western blot. MPO and BNP were quantified by ELISA.
Results
Training increased maximum GXT load 16% (p <0.05) while heart rate and blood
pressure for the same relative work intensity did not change. Peak power recorded on
the 4 devices and during the CMJ increased by 20-30% (p<0.05) along with increase in
the 6MW and SC speed (p<0.05). HSP70 and HSP27 decreased 28%-31% respectively
(p<0.05). MPO diminished 11% (p<0.05) while BNP remained unchanged (p>0.05).
Conclusion
The trend to reduced heart rate and blood pressure and the unchanged BNP values
indicate that EMRT may not be hazardous for this age population. The reduced basal
levels of HSP and MPO show an adaptation to the acute exercise stimuli during training
attributable to higher tolerance and reduction of cellular stress.

Background: fat infiltration in skeletal muscle is associated with aging and physical
inactivity. Low levels of physical activity cause an increase of fat mass between skeletal
muscles in older adults as well as in sedentary healthy young individuals. High levels of
inter-muscular adipose tissue contribute to muscle quality decline, predict sarcopenia
and increase risk of mobility impairment. Much less is known about lipid deposition
within muscle fibres and muscle function. Intracellular lipid droplets are associated
with a number of proteins, among which Perilipins (Plins) play a critical role in
regulating intracellular lipid storage and mobilization. In particular, Plin2 is expressed
in human skeletal muscle.
Methods: this study aimed at investigating the different expression level of Plin2 in
skeletal muscle from healthy or affected by mobility-limitating pathologies subjects. In
the framework of the EU 7th Program Project MYOAGE, we analysed muscle samples
from active and sedentary individuals and from hip-surgery patients of different age.
Plin2 expression and distribution in muscle Vastus lateralis were investigated with
Real-Time PCR, WB and IHC.
Results: Plin2 expression is associated with age. This phenomenon is more evident in
patients with decreased limb mobility. Furthermore, among old patients, an inverse
association is present between muscle strength and Plin2 expression.
Conclusions: these results suggest that lipid deposition occurs with age not only as fat
infiltration of the muscle fascicle but also within the muscle cells. This phenomenon is
exhacerbated by inactivity. Therefore a maintained physical activity can preserve
skeletal muscle from intra-fibre lipid deposition even in old age.

Body
The so-called Z-band streaming appeared in muscles with delayed onset muscle
soreness (DOMS) after eccentric exercise (Friden et al., 1984) has recently been proved
to be actually a sign of myofibrillar remodeling (Yu et al, 2003; Carlsson et al., 2007;
Malm and Yu, 2012). Despite that, the etiology of DOMS is still unclear.
14 healthy medical studies were recruited and randomly distributed into control (CON
= 5) or eccentric exercise group (ECC = 9). The ECC performed eccentric exercise on
soleus muscle and experienced DOMS which peaked at 2-3d post exercise. CON did not
perform any exercise. Soleues muscle biopsy was taken from both CON and ECC at 1h,
2-3d and 7-8d post exercise. The biopsy was evaluated for sarcolemma integrity, fiber
size and inflammatory cells using enzyme- and immunohistochemistry.
No visible sarcolema injury was observed in any fiber despite intracellular fibrinogen
was observed in some fibers. No difference in fiber size was observed between CON
and ECC groups; however, fiber size was larger at 7-8d than at 2-3d (p<0.05). A few
(<0.1%) new fibers of small size and macrophages/monocytes were observed mostly at
2-3d. We concluded that DOMS induced by voluntary eccentric exercise is not due to
either fiber inflammation/necrosis or fiber swelling.

Objective: assess levels of blood Creatinfosfokinasa (CPK) in ultraendurance racing.
Design and methods: were evaluated eleven male runners between 40 and 56 years
old (mean 45,88; SD 4,91), by performing a blood CPK measurement immediately
before and immediately after an ultraendurance race. It consisted of running 24 or 48
hours on running track, trying to run the greatest distance. The average distance run in
the race for 48 hours was 211,81 km (max 262,90 km; min 170,11 km). The average
distance run in the race for 24 hours was 163,26 km (170,58 km and 155,95 km). Both
races were analyzed together. To compare the means of CPK prior to the start with
CPK post-race, t Student Test for paired samples was used.
Results: The mean of CPK prior to the start was 174,18 UI/l (SD 104,60 UI/l). The mean
of CPK post-race was 4933,91 UI/l (SD 3979,02 UI/l), signifying an increase of 2732,62
% of CPK compare to baseline (p = 0,003). The mean of the difference between CPK
post-race and CPK before the start was 4759,72 UI/l (CI 2087,97 – 7431,48).
Conclusion: CPK serum levels rise up to 27 times after ultraendurance racing. Future
studies will determinate the usefull of this data.

The work described here consists in using controlled-frequency vibration, associated
with an isotonic machine for the upper and lower limbs.
The systems consist in two different machines; the first for the treatment of upper
limbs, who consist in
a cable system with two arms whose height with respect to the ground can be
adjusted, to which weights ranging between 5 and 80 Kg can be connected; the
treatment of lower extremity, is possible by a leg press machine.
The vibration is controlled by means of a switchboard allowing for the production of a
vibration which may be simultaneous or not, but also, more importantly, it is possible
to select its frequency (from 25 to 70 Hz).
The effects of the vibration therefore result in:
1)Greater muscular power
2)Greater tendon elasticity
3)Greater joint flexibility
4)Improvement of vascular and lymphatic drainage
5)Improvement of proprioceptiveness
Our experiment, aimed at proving the efficiency of isotonic exercise associated with
controlled vibration, consisted in carrying out an Isokinetic Test on several individuals
before and after the treatment. Intra/extra rotation was used for the shoulder, prono/
supination for the TT joint and flex/extension for the knee, because it was showed the
most stable movements whose compensation did not affect the muscle performance.
Conclusion
The rehabilitation of a joint and the strengthening of the muscles involved in the
movement, undoubtedly shows substantial advantages from being associated with
controlled vibration in terms of reduction of the weight applied (more safety), early
increase of joint excursion, reduction in the number of sessions; in conclusion this
means shorter recovery times.

Artificial altitude training is now a common methodology used by elite athletes to
improve performance. World Anti Doping Agency recommends medical supervision
for artificial altitude use.
Arterial oxygenation is a crucial parameter and the gold standard measurement
method is by co-oximetry saturation. Although precise, the method requires arterial
blood samples. Continuous noninvasive measurement of arterial oxyhemoglobin
saturation by pulse oximetry should be an alternative but only some oximeters have
been validated.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the reliability of the pulse oximeters used in
our laboratory.
We perform a methodological study with two different subjects, submitted to eight
successive hypoxic expositions (at altitude equivalent of 5000m) until pulse oximetry
drops below 85%. During each exposure, six digital pulse oximeters from the same
manufacturer were used simultaneously. The protocol selected is intentionally similar
to an Hypoxic Exposition Test we are implementing.
The variance of the measurement process in each hypoxic exposition was calculated
with mixed model ANOVA-based reliability statistics, expressing the equipment
discrepancies.
The significance level and the specified precision are parameters chosen by the quality
control responsible.
The measurement process capability is good (larger then 1.3) until a 1% precision, with
a 95% level of significance.
The typical error approach represents the noise of measurement process. As sometime
the signal is not very large, we use 3 oximeters and average the data to obtain a
smaller noise.
This study supports the construction of control charts for quality assessment and the
methodology is extensible to other relevant biometrical parameters.

ECG Pocket is a portable device corresponding in size to a standard credit card. ECG
Pocket measures and stores the electrical activity of the human heart during a
physiological condition or at the onset of a subjective feeling of arrhythmia or other
heart rhythm abnormalities. Characteristics of these alterations are
extemporaneousness, unpredictability and variability during a period of time which
is usually relatively short. These unpredictable changes of the electrical heart rhythm
make alterations hardly detectable and measurable during a planned clinical
instrumental control like that of a Holter Monitor. The device, called ECG Pocket, is
provided with a memory for recording the electric signal that will be later
downloaded and read on any type of Personal Computer, Netbook, Notebook, Tablet
or Smartphone.You can also record the ECG signal on a SIM card in a Mobile and send
captured data to a Service Center for instant reading and prompt evaluation. Unlike
traditional portable heart rate devices that measure only the heart rate, ECG Pocket
is able to detect any abnormalities of cardiac rhythm. It can be worn during daily or
sporting activities and it is suitable for sudden and impromptu use, requiring no
professional personnel to record the ECG signal. The device can be quickly and easily
employed by everyone, even non-expert, to record the heart's electrical activity with
no preparation for the traditional ECG recording. The user has only to grasp ECG
Pocket between thumb and forefinger of each hand to allow recording the
electrocardiogram in a D2 derivation.

OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effectiveness of US-guided intratendinous injection of PRP in chronic
pathology of patellar tendon.
DESIGN AND METHOD
We evaluated 28 patellar tendons of 24 patients practicing sport(14M,mean age
37.4years)with clinical diagnosis of patellar tendinopathy and US or magnetic
resonance imaging evidence of tendon degeneration.Clinical scores were assessed
before treatment using the VISA scale questionnaire.In all patients was performed an
US-guided scarification with a 21G needle of the preinsertional and insertional regions
of the PT and were introduced,under US guidance,6 ml of autologous PRP from
previous sampling,in the areas of tendinosis.In all patients,two treatments were
performed at a distance of 3 weeks.For all patients a clinical evaluation was carried
out,a VISA questionnaire was filled in and an US examination was executed at 20 days
after second treatment.The clinical and ultrasound follow-up at 6 months was
obtained in 13 patients.
RESULTS
The VISA score had an average improvement of 21/100 at 20 days and 32/100 in the
follow-up at 6 months. The US evaluation at 20 days showed a reduction in tendon
thickness and of tendinosis areas in 22 patients(92%).In 20 patients(83%),in the follow
at 20 days from the second treatment,it was observed an increase in the
intratendinous vascular signals at power-Doppler evaluation.The vascularity increase
was absent in the 13 follow-up at 6 months.
CONCLUSIONS
US-guided injection of autologous blood associated with dry needling showed to be
able to modify the local tendinous reparative response with a statistically significant
improvement of the VISA scale at 20 days after the second treatment and at 6 months
follow-up.

Video match analysis is used to assess physical performance of basketball players.
15 matches of a Italian 'Serie-A' team were video analyzed during the 2010-2011
season. The aims of this study were i) to analyze player performances and differences
among roles, and ii) correlating movement patterns with injuries.
The movements on the basket pitch of 2 Plays, 3 Guards, 4 Forwards and 2 Centers
were monitored throughout all matches using a semiautomatic system (K-Sport, Italy).
Both time spent accelerating (>1m•s-2 for positive, <-1m•s-2 for and negative
accelerations; >3m•s-2 for positive, <-3m•s-2 for negative high intensity accelerations)
and number of changes of direction (CdD) were calculated and averaged (±DS). A
Multivariate Analysis of Variance was performed to compare role differences.
On average, players spent 22.8±0.7% of the game time accelerating with Plays
performing significantly more accelerations (23.8%) than other roles. Average number
of CdD were 1063±48 each match, with Guards performing significantly more CdD
than other roles. Therefore, Plays and Guards are the most demanding roles; this could
partly explain the higher number of injuries occurred to these players compared to the
players of other roles. The analysis of the time spent accelerating at high intensity by a
single Guard who incurred in a muscular injury revealed it was about 300% higher than
the rest of the team. This suggests the possible correlation between specific
movement patterns and risk of injuries. In conclusion, identifying movement patterns
may be essential in prescribing specific training for each role and reducing the injury
risk.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a physiotherapy treatment,
using a new method, the propulsion of high pressure oxygen, 2.5 atm, transmitting
collagen in patients with patellofemoral chondropathy, compared with controls
receiving condrointinsolfato.
For the number of twenty patients per group was administered a questionnaire to
record the degree of disability resulting from the chondropathy, has taken the index
WOMAC (Western Ontario McMaster) for the pain scale, function and stiffness of
lower limbs and that of the Lequesne functional limitation.
This evaluation was performed before treatment and after 1, 2, 3, 6 and 12 weeks.
Statistical analysis was performed with the Student test.
The conveyance of the drug KNEE MD and collagen was performed with the propulsion
of pure oxygen up to 98% and a pressure of 2.5 ATM, supported by a handful of the
skin, once a week for 12 weeks for a total of 12 doses against oral administration of
chondroitin daily. Patients were also assessed by an anthropometric point of view,
resulting in fat mass and body mass index (BMI).
The results were evaluated with T Student and the results are statistically significant
at p <0.0001 both with the scale WOMAC index of pain, stiffness and joint function
both as a scale that assesses a Lequesne algo-functional index.
It’s important to note the absolute lack of side effects in the group treated with oxygen
infusion, in addition to the low cost of treatment than the group treated with oral
medications.

Microdialysis is a minimally-invasive sampling technique that allows the recovery of
low molecular weight analytes from interstitial fluids. Using this technique, the
metabolic status of anterior tibialis muscle has been studied in healthy (control) and
diabetic subjects during the visits to assess eligibility to competitive sport using
maximal exercise testing. Eleven healthy and ten diabetic young subjects were selected
for the study. A microdialysis catheter was inserted in the anterior tibialis muscle
under local aneasthesia and left in place for 3 hours. Muscular tissue metabolism
(glucose, lactate, pyruvate, glycerol, lactate/pyruvate (L/P) and lactate/glucose (L/G)
ratios) was assessed before, during and after the cycloergometric test. Baseline levels
of lactate, pyruvate and glycerol were not significantly different in both groups while
glucose was higher in diabetic subjects and, on the contrary, L/P and L/G ratios were
higher in healthy subjects. During the test, extracellular levels of glucose and lactate
increased in both groups while glycerol increased significantly only in diabetic subjects.
After the cycloergometric test, pyruvate increased in both groups but in diabetic
subjects its absolute value was about two times higher than in controls. Only in healthy
subjects L/P ratio increased during test while L/G ratio increased in both groups, much
more in controls. By associating microdialysis and incremental exercise test up to
exhaustion, performed during the visit to assess eligibility to competitive sport,
intramuscular metabolic differences between healthy and diabetic subjects were
highlighted. Overall, these changes suggest an accumulation of pyruvate and an
increased availability of glycerol in diabetic subjects.

Objective: According to Italian regulation, professional athletes undergo to a periodical
biochemical parameters evaluation addressed to maintain health. A software analyzes
biochemical parameters focused on monitoring of Least Significant Change (LSC) for
hematological variables.
Design and Method: Since January 2008 to July 2011, 81 professional soccer players
blood samples were collected. According to quality standard reference Clinical
Laboratory, a dedicated software allows the user retrieving LSC in the team’s athletes.
LSC = 2.77(CVi2 + CVa2)1/2 equation, including every athlete’s data, derived from
soccer seasonal training period. The software identifies hematological values exceeded
the LSC values.
Results: Standard hematological mean team values (2009/2010), were within the
normal range (Hb 15.2 ± 0.6 g/dL, min 13.9, max 16.6; HcT 43.0 ± 1.9 %, min 41.0, max
49.0; MCV 87.3 ± 3.0 fL, min 82.0, max 93.5; reticulocytes number 0.0433 ± 0.0128 x
1012/L, min 0.0186, max 0.0732). The LSC for Hb (5.80%), HT (8.20%) and MCV (2.41%)
and reticulocytes count (17.96%) resulted to be normal, with the exclusion of soccer
players data exceed LSC value in consequence of the training period at the same work
load. In the 6.2% of the all samples investigated for each athlete, the hematological
variation was over the LSC.
Conclusion: The software retrieves epidemiological information based on the
physiological changes of the hematological parameters occurring during the seasonal
competitions. It can therefore be propose to clarify several clinical questions related to
regular training or to risk factors particularly if in presence of different work load or
recurrent injuries.

Objectives
The aim was to present national team of synchronized swimmers who are started
preparation for Olympic Games in Rio 2016.
Materials/Methods
Anthropometric measurements, spirometry, blood samples, flexibility tests,
ergospirometry test and hand grip strength test were conducted. They completed
three-day diet records, BES, EAT-26, PDS and SCOOF questionnaire.
Results
The subjects were 14 trained female synchronized swimmers with mean age, height,
weight and F% of 15.2±1.3years, 167.3±6.3cm, 53.8±4.2kg and 21.8±3.6. Average BMI
was 19.2±0.9 kg/m2
which reflected lowest weight category. Daily energy intake
of 2364.8±531 kcal and fluid intake of 1782.3±555 ml were significant lower (p<0,001)
then those obtained by the formula. Macronutrient ratio with high intake of fat (34%),
low CHO (49%) and normal proteins (17%) were not in desirable range. The mean
intakes of Mg, fiber, Ca, Fe, K, Vit.C, Vit.B6 and Vit.B6 were below DRI with higher
intakes of Na and P. Subnormal serum ferritin was found in 3 swimmers. VO2max of
38.9 ml/min/kg and results of spirometry, flexibility and strength tests showed average
results. All girls were in postmenarchal period. Three swimmers reported negative
feelings about their appearance with risk of eating disorder.
Conclusion
Dietary practices and eating behaviors of synchronized swimmers indicates a need for
continuous screening and dietary intervention with aim to maintain adequate
nutrition, improve health status and reduce risk of eating disorder, as long term
strategy for high sport performance before Olympic Games.

OBJECTIVE: Body composition is a key consideration in the physical make-up of
professional soccer players. The aim of the study was to evaluate total and segmental
body composition in elite outfield soccer players divided in five roles (central
defenders, lateral defenders, central midfielders, lateral midfielders, strikers), by
utilizing dual energy Xray-absorptiometry (DEXA).
METHODS: We enrolled 163 soccer players (age 27.3±4.5) from the first division of the
Italian championship. All of them underwent DEXA, before the beginning of the
championship. Measured variables included bone mineral density (BMC), lean (LM)
and fat mass (FM).
RESULTS: The lateral midfielders had the highest total FM. This was due to a higher leg
fat, whereas there was no difference in fat trunk between the roles. The strikers and
the lateral midfielders had an higher total LM, statistically significant in respect to
central midfielders and lateral defenders. As for the FM, there were no differences in
trunk lean between the different roles, while the strikers and the lateral midfielders
had significant higher leg LM than the others. The central midfielders had significantly
higher BMC in the trunk than the other roles. The central defenders had the less
quantity of total BMC, due to minor BMC in the leg.
CONCLUSION: 1)Elite soccer players divided in five different roles are not a
homogenous population as previously described; 2)when evaluating soccer players,
segmental body composition, other than the whole body composition, must be take
into account; 3)a three compartment model in which also BMC is considered, must be
used.

Background: The metabolic effects of Aloe vera extract complex (Aloe QDM complex)
on prediabetes and early diabetes mellitus (DM) in human are unknown.
Objective: We aimed to evaluate the effects of Aloe QDM complex on body weight,
body fat mass (BFM), lean body mass (LBM), fasting blood glucose (FBG), insulin, and
HOMA-IR in obese patients with prediabetes or early DM.
Design: Obese 122 subjects with prediabetes or early DM without diabetes medication
were randomly assigned to intervention or control group and took medications for 8
weeks.
Results: Body weight and BFM were significantly decreased in the intervention group
at 8 weeks (P = 0.020, P = 0.028, respectively). LBM increase was significant in the
intervention group at 8 weeks (P = 0.041) but not significant between two groups.
Insulin and HOMA-IR were lower in the intervention group at 4 weeks (P = 0.042, P =
0.047, respectively), and showed borderline significance at 8 weeks (P = 0.094, P =
0.075, respectively). FBG showed a lowering tendency in the intervention group in
respect to time (P = 0.024 at 8 weeks), but did not differ significantly between groups
(P = 0.157 at 8 weeks).
Conclusion: In obese subjects with prediabetes or early DM without diabetes
medication, Aloe QDM complex has an effect on reducing body weight and BFM and
can improve insulin resistance.

Aim of the study: To examine the effects of Ramadan fasting on endurance running
performance and recovery. Materials and methods: Twenty male cadets randomly
assigned to fasting and non-fasting group, performed a multistage run test (MRT) pre
and post periodized training. Various training loads (flat running, cross country
running, strength training), Ratings of Perceived Exertions (RPE), Total Quality
Recovery (TQR) and heart rates (maximum, average) were daily monitored for a
four-week period. Results: No significant differences existed in MRT performance
parameters (VO2max, stage velocity, heart rates) for fasting versus non-fasting group,
whilst both groups showed a significant performance improvement following the
training program. Compared with pre training values, VO2max values were higher for
fasting (59.8 ± 2.5 versus 62.1 ± 1.6 mL . kg-¹ . min-¹ ; p<0.01) and non-fasting subjects
(59.3 ± 2.1 versus 62.6 ± 2.0 mL . kg-¹ . min-¹ ; p<0.001). No significant differences
were found in various training loads, heart rates and RPE between groups. In
contrast, TQR values were lower (p<0.05) in fasting (14.6 ± 1.3) versus the non-fasting
group (15.7 ± 1.1). A strong relationship (r=0.88; p<0.01) was also evident between
TQR values and recovery actions (stretching, cool down, swimming and sauna) for
fasting cadets. Conclusions: Ramadan fasting does not lead to heart rate differences
or/and impaired training volume and incremental endurance running performance.
However, as subjective readings of recovery are significantly reduced for fasting
cadets, the use of specific recovery interventions may help them to manage more
efficiently inelastic military programs.

Introduction
Little is known about joint-protecting ingredients in sports drinks. Our aim was to
develop a sports drink respecting the recommendations on carbohydrate for maximal
oxidation and performance, furthermore osmolality, ph-value, sodium and
joint-protecting and pain-relieving ingredients like chondroidin and glucosamine (1)
and a good taste.
Methods
All the ingredients (maltodextrin, glucose, fructose, natriumhydrogencarbonat, citric
acid, chondroitin sulfate, glucosamine, water) were prepared and measured with a
scale (Kern & Sohn; type 510-33), mixed and controlled with the freezing point
osmometer (OSMOMAT 030- D). To quantify the ph- value oekopharm stripes were
used. We mixed 9 different types of drinks in order to have different flavors and
different values of osmolarity to compare. 24 experienced runners trained with the
drink and gave detailed feedback on the combinations.
Results
There were only very few combinations fulfilling all of our criteria. The one with the
best flavor and a stable profile contains 42 g maltodextrin 6, 12 g glucose, 6 g fructose
(gluc:fruc ration 2:1) (2), 2 g natriumhydrogencarbonat, 1 g citric acid (to stabalise ph
and help taste), 500 mg chondroitin sulfate, 600 mg Glucosamine-HCl and 750 ml of
water. We did archive an osmolaltiy of 244 mosm/kg and a ph of 7.2. All the other
mixtures where excluded due to taste, ph or osmolality.
Discussion
A properly formulated sports drink has a valuable role to play in the diet of all athletes.
The combination of carbohydrates and chrondroitin sulfate/glucosamine is a way to
have both, energy and the joint supporting and pain relieving impact at the same time,
as this is often an issue in runners. We succeeded only one combination with a stable
formula and a good taste.

Body
Athletes frequently undergo anemia due to rigorous training, reducing food intake for
weight control and destruction of erythrocyte by repeated sole impulse. In addition,
menses make it difficult for females to improve anemia. In this study, to investigate
effect of combination with supplementation and nutritional counseling, intervention
trial for female athletes appealing anemia symptoms was performed. Capsules
containing heme-iron were used as supplement (14 mg/day of Fe). Nutritional
counseling was based on iron status (blood hemoglobin (Hb), serum ferritin (Fer),
soluble transferrin), nutrient status and energy expenditure (records of food intake,
activity logs and training load). Thirty female subjects (20.2±1.3 years old, Hb: 12.4±0.7
mg/dL, Fer: 17.8±13.7 ng/mL) from the fencing, the running long jump, the handball
and the volleyball players took test capsules every day for 2 months without
nutritional counseling. Subjects whom initial values of Hb and Fer were respectively
above 11.5 mg/dL and 10 ng/mL (n=20) improved their iron status, but not remained
subjects (n=10). Next, these 10 subjects who trained excessively and showed low Hb
and Fer level took test capsules for further 2 months with nutritional counseling.
Supplementation of heme-iron with increasing of food-derived mineral and protein
intake by nutritional counseling significantly increased blood Hb and Fer levels.
Furthermore this combination decreased body fat, increased muscle mass without
constipation. In conclusion, the supplementation of heme-iron is available for sports
anemia of female athletes. Combination with long-term supplementation of heme-iron
and nutritional counseling could enhance effect of improving sport anemia of the
highly-trained athletes.

Body
Objective
Prolonged or exhaustive physical exercise is able to provoke widespread systemic
changes in the host which are comparable to pathogenic-induced systemic
disturbances during infection. While mechanisms of the inflammatory response have
been extensively investigated, little is known about the comparability of metabolic
changes under both conditions. In the present study we measured plasma metabolites
from several compound classes to detect similarities and differences between
exhaustive physical exercise-induced and sepsis-associated metabolic changes.
Design and Methods
Rats performed a single bout of exhaustive physical exercise on a motorized treadmill.
After one week of recovery, polymicrobial sepsis was induced by intraperitoneal
application of a microbiological characterized human faeces suspension. Plasma
samples were analyzed before, immediately post exercise, 1 hour post exercise as well
as after sepsis induction by mass spectrometry. A panel of 186 metabolites from
different compound classes was measured including acylcarnitines, amino acids,
biogenic amines, glycerophospholipids, sphingolipids and hexose.
Results
We found time point-specific clusters of either down- or up-regulated metabolites
discriminating between exercise, recovery and sepsis. Most important difference
between exercise-induced and sepsis-associated metabolic changes in the host was
the large increase of plasma phospholipids in septic animals as a consequence of a
higher inflammatory response caused by cell activation, apoptosis and necrosis.
Conclusions
Similar and different clusters of metabolic changes exist following a single bout of
physical exhaustive exercise in comparison to polymicrobial septic state. Exhaustive
exercise might serve as a suitable model to investigate mechanisms of metabolic
disturbances and restoration of the equilibrium during severe infection.

Introduction
Some studies results suggest that inadequate hydration in basketball is correlated with
overall basketball performance, jumps, shooting and number of shots that were
attempted and made. The aim of our study was to analyze the influence of
dehydration on basketball performance.
Method
Ninety-six basketball players of eight national teams have assessed during official FIBA
Europe U20 Championship Men 2011 - Division B held in Sarajevo in July 2011. In order
to detect a correlation between hydration and basketball performance we measured
body mass of all players before and after one game. This correlation was evaluated by
percentage of dehydration.
Results
Players age was 19±0,79 years. After the game body mass loss was 0,9±0,7 kg,
percentage of dehydration 0,99±0,7% (-1,25-2,95%). We found statistically significant
correlation between percentage of dehydration and: most valuable player index (MVP)
(p< 0,01), points scored (p< 0,01), total rebounds (p< 0,01), shooting percentage for
3 points (p< 0,05), shooting percentage for 1 points (p< 0,05), assists (p< 0,05)
Discussion
We have found that dehydration considerably impaired basketball performance.
Dehydration significantly impaired most valuable player index, points scored, total
rebounds, shooting percentage for 3 points, shooting percentage for 1 point, assists,
except steals balls, turnovers and shooting percentage for 2 points.
The result of this study showed that dehydration is not only a physiological state, but
also a very important factor for the total performance, which requires sports personnel
to be educated in order to be able to help contribute to a better overall sports
performance.

Introduction
Sweat rates depend principally on factors such as the environmental conditions, choice
of clothing or exercise intensity and they also vary greatly between individuals.
Exercise can elicit high sweat rates and substantial water and electrolyte losses during
sustained exercise, particularly in warm-hot weather.
Method
Ninety-six basketball players of eight national teams were assessed during the official
FIBA Europe U20 Championship Men 2011 - Division B held in Sarajevo in July 2011. In
order to determine sweat rate and fluid intake we measured body mass of all players
before and after one game, the quantity of consumed fluid and urine output during
the game, as well as temperature and humidity in the sports hall.
Results
Players age was 19±0,79 years. After the game body mass loss was 0,9±0,7 kg,
percentage of dehydration 0,99±0,7%, total fluid intake 1868±816 ml (range 435 –
3987) and sweat rate 2,7±0,9 L/h (range 5,54 - 1.16). Urine output during the game
was 55±61 ml. Ambient temperature was 30±2°C and humidity 55±4% on average. We
found statistically significant correlation between sweat rate and: Usg (p<0,05),
Uosmol (p<0,01), body mass loss (p <0,01), FI (p <0,01), BSA (p<0,01) and percentage
of dehydration (p<0,01).
Discussion
Most athletes did not intake enough fluids to match sweat losses during the game and
they were significantly dehydrated. Recommendations for fluid and electrolyte
replacement must be carefully considered and monitored in basketball players to
promote safe hydration. Players should receive encouragement and educational
information about suitable hydration strategies.

Objective: assess urine specific gravity (USG) post-race in long distance running and its
relationship with the sensation of thirst during the competition.
Design and methods: were evaluated 130 runners between 22 and 60 years old (mean
40,24; SD 8,46), 95 male, through an urine test strips, at three different distances:
21km, 42km and 100km. Defines a USG less than or equal to 1015 as a parameter of
appropiate hydration. 78 of the 130 riders tested, 54 male , answered a questionnaire
about the sensation of thirst during the race. Chi Square test was used.
Results: 71,5% presented USG post- race greater than or equal to 1020. In 21km, this
incidence was 43%. In 42km, this incidence rose 72%, meaning an increase of 66,9%
compared to 21km (p<0,025; OR 3,39; CI 1,2–0,53). In 100km, that incidence rose to
98%, meaning an increase of 36,3% compared to 42km (p<0,001; OR 20,6; CI
2,37–179,15) and an increase of 127,5% compared to 21km (p<0,001; OR 69,86; CI
8,95–545,14). 74,2% in USG<=1015 group reported a mild sensation of thirst; in
USG>=1020 group that incidence fell to 66% (p>0,05).
Conclusions: a inadequate state of hydration occurs in 71,5% of runners in long
distance races, demonstrating an increase statistically significant in its incidence when
larger distances are evaluated. The sensation of thirst during the race was not
significantly associated with the USG post-race.

The purpose of preparticipation physical evaluation is to detect conditions that put the
athlete at risk for injury or illness and includes a comprehensive medical history,
appropriate physical examination, chest x-ray and electrocardiogram.
Fifteen years old female futsal athlete arrives in the office for her annually medical
evaluation. Its has no known medical conditions, past surgeries or history of fractures
or head traumas; irrelevant family history. The physical examination was normal for
vital signs , respiratory, cardiovascular, abdominal and musculoskeletal systems. She
presented a diminuished visual acuity test in the Snellen chart: right eye- 2/10, left
eye- 1/10; the neurological examination was normal including other cranial nerves and
reflexes.
The athelete was refered to eye care specialist and after a battery of examinations it
was diagnosed a hereditary retinal dystrophy. Her best corrected acuity is 3/10 for RE
and 2/10 for LE. Her coach considers she is technically the best player of the national
futsal female team.
A visual acuity test using a Snellen chart should be performed routinely for athletes
who are undergoing a sports physical. Determining clearance is an important and
sometimes difficult decision. Current sports participation guidelines recommend that
an athlete with a best corrected acuity of less than 20/40 in one eye should be
considered functionally one-eyed and wear eye protection during sports that carry a
high risk of ocular injuries. Currently science offers no cures or therapies for inherited
retinal dystrophies. Adolescents with retinal dystrophies can benefit from a definitive
diagnosis and attentive follow-up.

Body
The hyperinsulinism–hyperammonemia syndrome (HHS) is a recently identified genetic
disorder characterized by hyperinsulemic hypoglycemia with concomitant
hyperammonemia, caused by mutations in the GLUD1 gene. Symptoms and signs
include shakiness, weakness, seizure, rapid pulse and confusion: the maintain of
normoglycemia is essential to prevent neurologic damage.
Case Report The 12-year-old male examined was at his first medical evaluation for
sports eligibility (horse-riding). His family history was negative for cardiovascular and
metabolic disease; the young athlete had a medical report of a Pediatric Department,
University of Padua, with previous diagnosis of HHS. Physical examination was negative
for cardio-respiratory, neurologic and orthopaedic abnormalities, as were clinical
instrumental examinations, spirometry,
including the maximal exercise test
(Godfrey-adapted protocol, increments of 25 watt/minute interrupted at 150 watt
for muscular fatigue). Echocardiography and haemato-chemical values were all
within the normal range; only magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a slight
herniation of cerebellar tonsils through foramen magnum. The athlete was judged
eligible for competitive sport only for 6 months with re-evaluation clinical instrumental
; hypoglycemia in our athlete was well controlled with diazoxide and dietary
leucine-restricted treatment.
Conclusions The Italian Federation of Sports Medicine guidelines1, played a decisive
role in the final evaluation of the athlete utilizing the scheme proposed for diabetic
athletes : the 6 months re-evaluation for HHS patients should also contain the
measures of all main hemato-chemical parameters and the continous 24-hours
monitoring of glycemia.

AOSD is a rare systemic inflammatory disease, affecting young adults and
characterized by spiking fever with evanescent rashes and multiorgan involvements.
Nowadays the most utilized criteria are those defined by Yamaguchi and by Fautrel
for their sensitivity and their specificity.
Case report A 17-year old male athlete has been visited for competitive sports
eligibility with medical reports of previous hospitalizations with diagnosis of AOSD and
intercurrent mononucleosic syndrome from CMV infection. Patient symptoms: fever,
myalgia, arthralgia, hepato-spleno-megalia and hyperferritinemia. The athlete has
been widely studied by bio-humoral ( virus serology, HLA test, pharyngeal tampon) and
instrumental tests (echocardiogram, thoracic and abdominal CT, brain and cervical
MRI, bone marrow biopsy). The athlete has been treated with methotrexate and
corticosteroids, but had another rise of fever, pharyngitis, transitory leucopenia with
lymphocytosis: since doctors suspected a new CMV infection, the patient has been
treated with Acyclovir for 15 days. With the clinical improvement and the
normalization of all inflammation indexes, steroids and immuno-suppressors have
been gradually reduced until the normalization of all clinical and instrumental
parameters.
Conclusions An athlete with AOSD is difficult to evaluate: the correct diagnosis could
be performed by clinical and instrumental investigations in the acute phase, and we
must maintain the correct medical treatment for a long period until complete
remission. In our case the absence of cardiovascular complications in the acute phase
and the negativity of biological and instrumental investigations had a decisive role to
reach the competitive sports eligibility after about 6 months from the first medical
evaluation.

Aims. Pre-participation cardiovascular (CV) screening has been advocated as efficient
strategy to reduce sudden cardiac death in Caucasian athletes. At present, uncertainty
remains if such strategy is practicable and efficient in African athletes. To this scope,
we performed a CV screening in an African country.
Methods. Two-hundred-ten male Gabonian football-players were examined with
history, physical exam, ECG and echocardiography.
Results. History revealed only unspecific symptoms (19 players, 9%). Familial sudden
death was referred by 36 (17%). No anomalies were detected at physical examination.
The ECG showed large proportion of training-related abnormalities, i.e., ST-segment
elevation in precordial leads in 150 (71.4%), and isolated increase in R/S-wave voltage
in 116 (55.2%). A substantial subset (13.8%) showed training-unrelated abnormalities,
i.e., inverted T-waves in 10 (4.8%), left atrial enlargement in 8 (4%), deep Q-waves in 3
(1.4%). On echocardiography, 1 athlete had probable HCM; none had definite
evidence for ARVC or DCM. Other abnormalities included mitral valve prolapse in 3,
atrial septal defect in 2, and pulmonary hypertension in one.
Conclusion. Our experience demonstrates that pre-participation CV screening is
feasible even in the most difficult scenario, such as a developing African country, but
challenging for conclusive identification of cardiac diseases. About 14% of athletes
showed ECG changes potentially expression of cardiac diseases, requiring periodical
follow-up. Structural cardiac abnormalities were found in a minority (5%), and were
largely unrelated to ECG abnormalities. Therefore, novel criteria for appropriate ECG
interpretation according to the ethnicity are needed to implement CV screening to
African athletes.

Aim: We tested the feasibility and efficacy of an onsite four-point 15-minute screening
of school children to improve detection of cardiac abnormalities, especially those
associated with sudden cardiac arrest. Materials and Methods: 254 sixth-grade
students were screened at their schools by onsite focused history, cardiovascular
physical, 12-lead electrocardiogram, and limited echocardiogram. Results: The
screened subjects were primarily African American and Hispanic; 54.7% were girls. We
identified 103 (40.6%) subjects with abnormalities on history and physical exam, 50
(19.7%) with hypertension, 80 (31.5%) with electrocardiographic abnormalities, and 32
(13.0%) with echocardiographic abnormalities. The ability to detect abnormalities
increased 36.0% with addition of electrocardiograms and 40.0% with addition of
echocardiograms. Our system also identified as false-positive by history, physical, and
electrocardiogram the results in many cases, thus minimizing further workup. Based on
these findings, 25 subjects (9.8%) were advised not to participate in rigorous exercise
pending further evaluation. In most cases, further workup clarified that the conditions
were not life threatening. However, several cases of conditions associated with sudden
cardiac arrest were confirmed and underwent urgent treatment. Conclusions: Our
onsite four-point screening system is feasible and effective in detecting undiagnosed
cardiac abnormalities and identifying false-positive results. Both athletic and
non-athletic children had undiagnosed cardiac abnormalities, suggesting the utility of
screening all schoolchildren. Given that sudden cardiac arrest in school children is
often associated with an underlying occult cardiac abnormality and can be triggered by
athletic activity, further research is needed to identify what is the best way to screen
for such abnormalities.

Objective: The purpose of this study two-fold: first to evaluate the incidence and
mechanisms of injury in basketball and second, to recommend prophylactic measures.
Several studies have evaluated sports injury frequency as compared with total
emergency department visits.
Materials and Methods We undertook a prospective study to determine the type and
distribution of basketball injuries. During the 7-year period 1998-2004, 7134 injuries
were collected by the Emergency Department Injury Surveillance System from Aglaia
Kyriakou Children's Hospital. The data were collected and recorded on a pre-coded
questionnaire. Cross-tabulations and multiple logistic regression were performed to
analyze the data.
Results By the elements of study it is accounted that 1 in 100 children aged 5 to 14
years old in Greece, visits each year the Emergency Department of a hospital after an
injury in basketball. The 44% of injuries happened during school activity, 22% in a game
or training of team and 34% during leisure. The majority of injuries are reported was
result of being struck by the ball 44%. Although the most frequent injury were strains
46% the percentages of fractures and sprains were particularly high. The commonest
injuries among players 42% concerned fingers of hand. Injuries in ankle and knee were
increased in organised basketball 21% and 6% respectively. Injuries during the game or
training were very serious by 50% needed extra medical care. The percentage of
hospitalisations was 2%.
Conclusions The following safety precautions as warming up, good technique and use
of protective equipment can help prevent basketball injuries.

were female premenarcheal school children, having only physical education-related
activity, and matched with the athletes by age and height. Controls participating in
other athletic activities, assessed by questionnaire, were excluded from the study. All
participants were clinically healthy and were not receiving medication known to affect
bone metabolism.
Results: The two groups were comparable according to chronological age, height,
height SD score (height SDS), calcium, vitamin daily intake, and recreational daily
physical activity. There was a no significant trend for lower bone age in rhythmic
gymnastic. Athletes had significantly lower weight, BMI, BMISDS and skinfold sum
(P0.001). Thus, differences in bone density and geometry parameters were adjusted
for weight.
Conclusions: Rhythmic gymnastic in premenarcheal girls may induce positive
adaptations on the skeleton, especially in cortical bone. Increased duration of exercise
is associated with a positive response of bone geometry.

In February 2011, a 22 year-old man came to see us to recover his ability to practice
rugby as an amateur 3rd line. During the interrogation our patient reported atypical
neurological events: one history of cardio circulatory arrest during a position change in
the surgical unit, positional dizziness, an unusual fainting fit during a rugby practice in
which the patient experienced a scapular contact.
A brain MRI discovered a Chiari 1 malformation. A disappearance of the peri- bulbar
liquid spaces related to the filling of the posterior part of the occipital hole by the
cerebellar tonsils was noticed in the foramen magnum shot. The cerebellar tonsils are
abnormally in low position. He was directed to a neurosurgical team specialized in this
pathology.
This malformation, discovered in 1891 by Hans Chiari, is due to an insufficient
development of the posterior fossa, inducing a protrusion of the cerebellar tonsils and
of the brain stem through the occipital hole in the cervical canal. It favours the
formation of syringomyelic cavities, including very distal ones.
The examination led for participation in sports activities must try to look into the
significant signs of this malformation. When this malformation is suspected, we must
stop the practice of sports and make the reference imaging: brain and medullar MRI.
The discovery of a Chiari 1 malformation on a pauci – or asymptomatic subject requires
a neurosurgical advice. This malformation constitutes an absolute and permanent
contraindication to a contact sports practice, or to sports which might cause falls or
collisions.

Background: Almost all the study on athlete's heart have been carried out on adult
players and few data about cardiac adaptations to exercise in adolescent is available.
The study aims to describe the modification of cardiac morphology in adolescent
athletes compared to controls. Methods: from the age of 12 to 17 years old, 40 highly
trained male soccer players and 47 less trained controls, have been yearly studied by
a 2D echocardiography evaluating the left ventricle systolic and diastolic dimensions,
inter ventricular septum, posterior wall thickness and cardiac mass index. This last
parameter was compared to body surface area value for both groups, to evaluate a
possible relationship. Results: A significant increase of all the echocardiographic
parameters in highly trained soccer players was found if compared to less trained
controls (p<0,05) especially for cardiac mass index. No correlations between cardiac
mass index and body surface area has been discovered. Conclusion: Our data are
suggestive for an early cardiac remodeling especially in highly trained athletes.
Intensive traing does not seem to have any influence on body surface area growth
while it is a decisive factor for cardiac mass growth.

Introduction and aims: Soccer requires the ability to perform a high intensity
intermittent exercise. Especially for young players, staffs have to guarantee an optimal
maturation of biological and technical aspects1,2. Our aim is to verify the application
of FIFA 11+ protocol in a young professional football academy.
Methods: a sample of 760 young-players aged between 10-20 years, was monitored
during four Italian championship seasons (from 2007/08 to 2010/11). Each injury was
examined by the medical staff and subsequently classified according to: type of
pathology and role of player. A one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to
check differences between each seasons. Significance was set at p<0,05.
Results: the number of injuries throughout the four seasons were 289 (81, 80, 75 and
53). Absolute values are expressed in mean±SD. Tendinopathies were the most
frequent pathology (24.50±12.12), followed by muscular injuries (17.50±6.56), sprains
(14.75±7.09) and contusions (9.00±2.58). The case report shows a greater incidence in
defenders compared to midfielders, strikers and goalkeepers (33.75±6.95, 18.25±4,57,
13.50±2.08 and 6.75±2.36).
Conclusions: our analysis indicates that tendon and muscular injuries on lower limbs
are the most common cause of injuries, as previously reported by literature3.
Defenders and midfielders were the most affected roles because of the higher density
of players in those areas of the pitch. The reduction in the number of injuries in the
last season is probably related to the introduction of prevention program 11+
proposed by the FIFA F-Marc.

Intensive long-term training induces structural and functional changes of the heart,
with left ventricle (LV) hypertrophy being the most common. Different type of training
(endurance vs. combination of endurance and power) leads to difference changes in
the body.
Aim: The aim of this study was to compare anthropometric and echocardiographic
parameters between two selected group of professional water polo (endurance/power
training) and soccer (endurance) players.
Methods: Water polo (n1=15, aged 22.28±3.65 yrs) and soccer players (n2=17, aged
23.31±2.37 yrs) that trained >20hrs per week were studied. Subjects underwent
physical exam, body fat assessment, echocardiography and maximal ergospirometry
treadmill test. Student’s T-test was used.
Results: Water polo (W) and soccer (S) players differed in body height(W
194.13±4.50cm vs. S 182.12±5.26cm),body weight(W 99.77±11.15kg vs. S
79.85±5.05kg),BMI(W 26.47±2.61kg/m2 vs. S 24.09±1.06kg/m2),body fat %(W
16.75±2.77% vs. S 11.14±2.68%), VO2max /kg(W 46.04±2.70ml/min/kg vs. S
58.21±7.41ml/min/kg), and aortic root diameter(W 36.07±2.54mm vs. S
31.18±2.31mm)(p<0.01 for all).
They also differed in LV end-diastolic diameter(W 56.92±2.55mm vs. S 54.23±3.80mm),
ejection fraction(W 68.04±5.18% vs. S 61.41±9.44%), and early LV inflow velocity(W
0.83±0.12m/s vs. S 0.74±0.08m/s)(p<0.05 for all), with trend toward difference in left
atrium diameter(W 37.53±2.58mm vs. S 34.97±4.56 mm), and late LV inflow
velocity(W 0.53±0.15m/s vs. S 0.45±0.06m/s).
After indexing for BSA, water polo players had smaller aorta root diameter(W
15.61±1.27mm/m2 vs. S 17.94±1.61mm/m2), LV end-diastolic diameter(W
24.66±1.82mm/m2 vs. S 27.02±1.93mm/m2), and left atrium diameter(W
16.26±1.52mm/m2 vs. S 18.88±1.77mm/m2)(p<0.01 for all).
Conclusion: Water polo players have lower peak oxygen consumption than soccer
players. Both sports induce changes in heart structure with increase of left ventricular
volumes to the upper limits of normal.

Background: Persistent left superior vena cava is the most common thoracic venous
anomaly, but its diagnosis remains almost casual because of its frequent asymptomatic
presentation leading to an increased risk of cardiovascular accidents,
especially in sport practitioners. In this case report we describe a persistent left
superior vena cava and its clinical significance in sports medicine assessment.
Methods: A 20-year-old male professional footballer underwent a clinical evaluation
for sports eligibility through physical examination, body composition analysis,
spirometry and resting electrocardiogram. Then he was subjected to an
echocardiography, a cardiac magnetic resonance and finally to an exercise stress test.
Results: While other physical assessment showed no significant abnormalities for a
high-level athlete, trans-thoracic echocardiography revealed a dilated left coronary
sinus of not univocal interpretation. The subsequent cardiac magnetic resonance
imaging highlighted a double superior caval system, with the persistent left superior
vena cava draining into the coronary sinus. The absence of other concomitant defects
allowed us first to safely perform a maximal exercise stress test granting sports
eligibility.
Conclusion: The survey of echocardiographic dilatation of the coronary sinus in an
asymptomatic subject should always raise the suspicion of a persistent left superior
vena cava, which, in the absence of significant hemodynamic alterations, does not
contraindicate the practice of high cardiovascular impact sports. Since in 40% of cases
the persistent left superior vena cava can be associated with other important
congenital defects, the sports physician should thoroughly investigate in order to
prevent serious additional risks for the health.

Aims. To determine the percentage asymmetry in lower-limb strength and correlate it
with performance in a sprint/agility test with a change of direction in the dominant leg
test and a change of direction in the alternate leg test.
Materials and Methods. A sample of N=200 non-sporting students (M=108;F=92; mean
age 12.01±1.1) were assessed for asymmetry in muscle strength using the formula
suggest
by
Yamamoto(1),
the
One-Leg-Hop-Test(2)
and
the
One-Leg-Lateral-Hop-Test(3); the change-of-direction time was assessed for both a
change of direction in the dominant leg test and alternate leg test(4). Pearson
correlations (divided by gender) were used to assess relationships between the degree
of asymmetry and sprint/agility performance.
Results. The percentage of females presenting asymmetries >15% was greater than in
males for both the One-Leg-Hop-Test and One-Leg-Lateral-Hop-Test (M:
26.00%;46.30%;F:40.21%; 51.09%). In the female group significantly correlated with
performance in the change of direction in the dominant leg test (r=0.20, N=92;p<0.05).
Conclusions. The weak correlation between lower-limb strength and performance in
the change of direction in the dominant leg test in female students (a stronger
correlation is seen sporting subjects of both sexes (4) can be explained by the fact that
a change in running direction requires the execution of a lateral jump (5), which
depends upon lower-limb strength, which in turn correlates with gender.
Compensation strategies need to be implemented to tackle strength asymmetries in
female subjects.

Background
Myocardial bridge is a congenital coronary abnormality present when an epicardial
vessel runs deep inside the myocardium wall. Estimated frequency has been reported
0,8 to 4.9 % by coronary angiography, in autopsy series as high as 80%. The main
concern about myocardial bridge is its reported association with sudden death, but it is
known that it can also be an abnormality never giving a sign or symptom all over life.
Aim of the study
We wanted to investigate if myocardial bridge was present in a group of athletes
showing electrocardiographic stress test abnormalities.
Methods
We investigated through Coronary TC cardiac scan 16 athletes presenting
ascending/orizzontal ST segment depression during stress test, doubtful for ischemia.
All subjects were asymptomatic, had structurally normal hearts, absence of
arrhythmias, excellent stress tolerance.
Results We found 7 athletes presenting myocardial bridges on Left anterior descending
coronary, one showing critical stenosis in one vessel which was confirmed at
conventional angiography, eight unremarkable examinations.
Conclusion
TC scan of the Coronary vessels has revealed in our population a surprising high
prevalence of isolated asymptomatic Myocardial bridges. In our experience this
coronary abnormality should be kept more in consideration as a possible cause of
doubtful ST abnormalities, even if asymptomatic and in presence of excellent workload
capacities.

AIM. Left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy is the most common adaptation to intense
training, and ECG can detect such early signs. Some difficulty is experienced to
discriminate between athlete’s heart and pathological hypertrophy, especially in young
athletes with negative T-waves, because these can be due to juvenile-patterns. In this
study, we assessed LV morphofunctional characteristics in adolescent athletes
presenting with resting ST-T segment anomalies.
MATERIALS AND METHODS. Among 495 athletes undergoing pre-participation
screening, we selected 121 athletes, aged 16.1+3.3 years, 108_M, regularly trained for
at least 5 hours/week, with full puberty characteristics. Physical examination, ECG and
echocardiography were performed in everybody. Uncommon ST-segment and T-wave
findings were identified as follows: 0.1-mV ST segment depression and/or T-wave
inversion on at least 2 leads. Indexed LV mass was calculated on echocardiography
according to ASE criteria. Hypertrophy was also coded for wall thickness >12mm in
atypical LV segments.
RESULTS. Seven athletes (5.8% of study population), 6_M, showed repolarization
anomalies, consisting of isolated negative/flattering T-waves in everyone, combined
with ST depression in 2. Four athletes(3.3%) met criteria for LV hypertrophy at
echocardiography, likely to be pathological in 2 cases(1.6%) and on the gray area in the
other 2. Normal findings were found in the remaining 3 athletes.
CONCLUSIONS. ST-T segment anomalies were confirmed to be uncommon (<6%) in our
study population. LV hypertrophy was found in >50% of cases and in 2(28%) it was
likely to be hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Therefore, the recognition of such
repolarization anomalies requires ruling out the presence of pathological hypertrophy.

The Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis(SLA) or Maladie de Charcot or Lou Gehrig’s diseas
represents the pathology which is more common primitive disease of motor neuron
among the adults. There’s an important co-relation between sport (especially football)
and SLA. Even though there aren’t scientific proofs about a direct co-relation between
SLA and football. The project for the rehabilitation is based on evaluation of the
patient, to determine short, medium and long term objectives with a remedy accepted
globally, and individually chosen rehabilitation strategy. It’s an holistic approach which
takes into consideration the rehabilitation plan for the quality of patient’s life in the
context of his family and society. It has to be a multi-disciplinary approach wherein,
each one gives the best. The rehabilitation medicine in this kind of pathology is defined
as: a process of solution for the problems and education during the course in which a
handicapped could reach the best possible level of life regarding physical, functional,
social and emotional, with least possible restrictions on their choice, even though
there may be some limitations regarding his ability and availability of quantity and
quality of resources. In this process the family of the handicapped also has to be
involved, the closer he is to the environment around him, the better gets his
life.Guide-line of the Ministry of Health for the rehabilitation. Official Italian Gazette n.

Body
Every sport's activity generates a microtrauma to the muscular skeleton apparatus, the
consequence is the repeated stress to the arteries and muscular structures. The
human body is capable of compensating this stress by appropriate posture. The Podalic
Receptor and the System of Tonic Posture through the interaction of other apparatus
consent the development of an adequate control of the posture. In football, a great
attention is paid to the football ground. One of the methods that is frequently used for
the treatment of altered postures among the football players is the Global Postural
Re-education (gpr). We have taken a case study of a male patient of 22 years
suffering with pubalgy. The painful symptoms mainly surfaced during the initial phases
of warming up, not while practising sport during the months. From the first week, he
suffered pain even while taking rest. The patient was treated with the following
rehabilitation protocol: the manual techniques of normalising the ileum and the
symphysis pubis, the gpr and help for stimulating the plantar receptors.
The treatment that was repeated for four consecutive weeks has shown an important
reduction of clinical symptoms. After the three months of treatment, the patient had
regained the training with the use of adequate aid for the stimulation of podalic
receptor. The study demonstrates that the way the alteration of the podalic receptors
compromised with the tonic postural system, not only with the execution of the
athletic gestures. However, before practising any sport, becoming body conscious is
a preliminary obligatory task.

DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) occurs frequently in sport. DOMS usually
develops 12-48h after intensive and/or unusual eccentric muscle action. They can be
associated with decreased proprioception and range of motion, as well as maximal
strength. DOMS disappears 2-10 days before complete functional recovery.
Inflammation appears to be the most common explanation. DOMS should not be
considered as an indicator of muscle damage but, rather, a sign of the regenerative
process, which is well known to contribute to be increase muscle mass. If some
treatments are well known to attenuate DOMS, none has been demonstrated to
accelerate either structural or functional recovery.

Aim: To evaluate the effect of infiltrative treatment with low molecular weight
(500-700 kDalton) hyaluronic acid (HA) in athletes with tendinopathy.
Subjects and methods: 30 athletes (5F, 25M; 16-64 years) with 2° and 3° grade
tendinopathy and degenerative tendinosis: 18 Achilles, 11 patellar, 9 lateral elbow and
1 tibialis anterior. Ultrasounds were made Esaote® myLab 25 X-view with a linear array
(15-18 mhz ) and a power doppler software.
Treatment: 39 tendinopathy (9 bilateral) with a cycle of 5 peritendinous infiltration.
With injections of 1.2 to 2 cc of HA uniformly distributed in 2-6 points on the lateral
and medial portions of the tendon to be treated. The first infiltration was made
immediately after the first ultrasound analysis (T0). Infiltrations were repeated with
the same procedure after 2, 3, 5 and 8 weeks. Ultrasound analyses were repeated at
T0, at week 5 (T1) and at weeks 9 (T2).
Results: Reductions of the pain scale score [from 10 (T0) to 3 (T2)*] and of tendon
thickness (average reduction of 20-25%* from T0 to T2) were observed. Dissolution of
power doppler were also observed at T2. Athletes restarted training after T1 (eccentric
exercises).
(*T-test, P<0.05)
Conclusion: No contraindications with this technique were found. This treatment is
cheaper than physiokinesis therapy and permits to determine the gradual training
loads recovery by means of the ultrasound check carried out for static and dynamic

Ulnar nerve palsy after elbow trauma were reported earlier in the literature. But,
secondary ulnar nerve palsy in which the onset of ulnar nurve dysfunction occurs 1 to
3 months after elbow trauma, is unusual. And the cause of secondary ulnar nerve palsy
is not clear. Here, we report a secondary ulnar nerve palsy in adult after nondisplaced
olecranon linear fracture treated non-surgically. In this case, the trauma did not induce
translocation of ulnar nerves, and there were no definite evidence of ulnar nerve
swelling in initial ultrasonographic finding. And ulnar nerve palsy symptoms occur after
progressive range of motion exercise. This may be the evidence of that an elbow
trauma can lower motion threshold of nerve irritation or produce minor fibrosis
around ulnar nerves.

In soccer players ACL ruptures are the most common accidents, always repairable by
surgery; techniques mostly used are: patellar tendon (P) and quadruple
semitendinosus (S). Dual Energy-X Ray Absorptiometry (DXA) is a diagnostic device
used in sports medicine to monitor bone, fat and muscle mass modifications in
athletes during the season and to detect these parameters after prolonged training
stops. The aim of the present study was to monitor body composition variations during
rehabilitation programs after P and S surgery. Methods 30 semi-professional soccer
players were tested during rehabilitation programs after ACL surgery (15 P and 15 S) by
serial body composition tests on DXA Lunar Prodigy Advance (General Electric, Milano),
with this schedule: pre-surgery test; after 20, 60, 120 days after P or S surgery. We
evaluated only muscle mass (MM, g) parameters in two ways: 1) standard test,
comparing healthy and operated legs and 2) thigh evaluation, tracing in each leg a
square from inferior pubic branches to femoral condyles. Results 1) Both in operated
and in healthy legs, MM was significantly reduced after 20 days with both techniques;
all S values were lower than P at 20,60 and 120. 2) Both in operated and in healthy
thighs there was a reduction of MM values, both for P and S, until 120 days. Discussion
Our results show the importance of DXA measurements during ACL rehabilitation
programs to monitor the decrease and the gradual recovery of muscle mass in affected
and unaffected legs before competition return in soccer players.

Introduction: High altitude pulmonary edema is a largely unpredictable event though
many aspects regarding its physio-pathogenesis still need to be clarified. Purpose: to
relate inter-individual differences in the cardiopulmonary response to work load in
normoxia and in hypobaric hypoxia to the perturbation in lung water balance.
Methods: twenty-tree subjects (mean±st.dev: age 37,4±7,2 years, body mass index
22,4±2,8; 22%Females, 78%Males) were submitted to an incremental exercise test
until exhaustion on cyclo-ergometer at sea level and after 6h of staying at the altitude
of 3300m. Gas exchanges, pulmonary ventilation and heart rate were measured as well
as respiratory reactance by high frequency oscillatory method that potentially detect
early indexes of interstitial lung edema (Dellacà RL et al. Respir Res. 2008 Jun 12;9:51).
Results: inter-individual differences in the ventilatory response when the hypoxic
stimulus was added to the increase in oxidative metabolism were found: in particular,
the increase in the ventilation/carbon dioxide output ratio correlated positively with
the increase in respiratory reactance (y=27.5x+22.0, p=0.003). Conclusion: we
conclude that participants having a greater ventilatory response to exercise in hypoxia
probably are more exposed to the development of interstitial lung edema functionally
related to a decreased efficiency of the oxygen diffusive-uptake process.

Literature indicated that curveball pitching may produce more stress on the shoulder
joint, and further increase the risk of shoulder pain and shoulder injury. The purpose of
this study is to investigate the kinematic changes between fast ball and curve ball in
baseball pitching.
Ten professional pitchers participated in this study during Spring Training. They were
asked to throw 15 fastball and curveball pitches on the outdoor throwing mound at a
distance of 18.4 m. Motion Raptor E (Motion Analysis Inc., U.S.A.) was used to capture
the throwing motion at a sampling rate of 300Hz. Kinematic data between the two
different pitches were calculated for comparison. A repeated-measure analysis of
variance was used for statistical analysis.
At the instant of foot contact, more stride length was required for the curveball.
During the acceleration phase, there was significantly more forearm pronation in
fastball(31.3±16.7) than curveball (14.0±18.6)(p=0.01). There was more shoulder
internal rotation angular velocity ( deg/s) in fastball(5714.9±1333.5) than curveball
(5426.4±872.5)(p=0.015). At the instant of ball release, there were significant
differences in shoulder horizontal adduction angle (p=0.003), elbow flexion angle
(p=0.001), elbow valgus angle (p=0.026), and forearm pronation (p=0.001). Fastball
velocity (34.5±2.0 m/s) was fasterr than curvball (28.1±0.9 m/s) (p=0.001).
This outdoor throwing analysis was setup to simulate the bullpen pitching scenario.
There were several kinematic differences between fastball and curveball, and the most
of the changes occurred during the acceleration phase. This database can be helpful
for the young players to improve their throwing techniques, and decrease the risk of
upper extremity injuries.

Scopo del lavoro: Le aritmie cardiache risultano di comune riscontro in pazienti affetti
da prolasso valvolare mitralico. Scopo del presente studio è quello di valutare in atleti
con pvm isolato i seguenti parametri: la dispersione del QT-end, del QT-apex, del Tpe, il
valore massimo del Tpe a livello precordiale ed il rapporto Tpe/QT.
Metodi: Sono stati valutati 50 atleti: 25 (5 donne e 20 uomini, età compresa tra 15 e 40
anni, età media 26.56±9.49 anni) con evidenza ecocardiografica di prolasso mitralico
non associato ad insufficienza mitralica significativa e F.E. nella norma ed altrettanti
atleti di controllo non portatoti di pvm (7 donne e 18 uomini, età compresa tra 14 e 40
anni, età media 24.76±9.81 anni). Tutti
sono stati sottoposti ad un
elettrocardiogramma a 12 derivazioni L’intervallo QT è stato misurato in tutte le
derivazioni dall’inizio del QRS alla fine dell’onda T.
Risultati: Tutti i soggetti erano in ritmo sinusale regolare. All’ECG di base la dispersione
del QT-end, del QT-apex, del Tpe precordiale, il QT.
Conclusioni: In conclusione, il prolasso mitralico, quando non accompagnato da
un’insufficienza mitralica significativa e deficit della frazione di eiezione, non è
associato ad eterogeneità della ripolarizzazione ventricolare. Gli atleti portatori di pvm
isolato non complicato possono praticare attività sportive ad alta intensità ed anche a
livello agonistico in quanto non presentano alcuna alterazione della ripolarizzazione
ventricolare, che li renderebbe, se presente, inclini allo sviluppo di tachiaritmie
ventricolari.

Objectives: The main purpose of research was evaluating the incidence rate of physical
injuries, also, we considered some special characteristics of the injuries, such as
location, type, severity, etc.
Materials and Method: In this study, we evaluated the injuries occurred among the
players of two professional soccer teams participated in Iranian premier leagues, both
in training and competition sessions. 52 male adult professional soccer players (age:
24±3), were followed for half of a season. The injury characteristics and exposure times
were recorded in previously designed profiles by the team physician, who was present
in all matches and training sessions.
Results: The sum of exposure times is 9296 playing hours (8202 h training V.S. 1094 h
competition). The incidence rates of the acute injuries were 9.5 (CI: 7.5-11.5) per 1000
hr exposure, 5.5 (CI: 4.1-7.3) per 1000 hr of training, and 39.3 (CI: 29-53) per 1000 hr of
competition. The most common types of injuries were contusions followed by strains.
Lower extremities were involved in the majority of the cases (78%); among them, one
third, occurred in thigh and groin. Approximately, half of the cases happened following
contact. Less than 10% of injures, required more than 4 weeks to be treated; and the
average loss of competition time was about 16 days following injury.
Conclusion: The incidence rate of injury is generally similar to those that are seen in
most of the other events. Contusion and strains are the two most common types of
injuries.

Introduction. In the triathlon the combined practice of swimming, cycling and running
permits the reduction of overuse injuries compared to the practice of running alone.
Nonetheless, like other endurance sports, 80-85% of triathlon injuries can be ascribed
to overuse. Method. From an etiopathogenetic point of view the overuse injuries
must be studied in relation to the triathlon's technical characteristics, to the
transition phases between the disciplines, to the different load of training of the
various distances. Results. Injuries are seen more during the training and during the
first years of triathlon practice. Most of the injuries are caused by running and and
athletes most at risk are former swimmers and cyclists, since they lack of running
experience and muscle elasticity. The cycle-run transition is a period of particular risk
for knee and lower back injuries. Ileotibial band syndrome is common in age groupers
whereas Achilles tendon injuries and stress fractures occur more in elite athletes.
Previous injuries are correlated with injuries occurrence and the sudden changes in
training intensity or volume, hill training and the insufficient development of running
technical ability are injuries extrinsic factors. The episodes of rhabdomiolysis are
frequent, associated or not to exertional heat/idratation injuries. Hyphotermia is not
rare in cool and wet conditions. Conclusion. Injury prevention is based on the learning
of the correct technique of the three disciplines and of the transition phases. Before
the event it is essential to assess the risk specific to each race in relation to the
enviromental conditions.

Aim of study-Due to air pollution problem in Tehran(capital of Iran), to find the major
air pollutants in Tehran City and determine the trend of their changes in all hours of
day and night.
Methods- Getting data from 7 air pollutant monitoring stations, the hourly means of
air pollutant concentrations from years 2004 to 2008 in places of stations were
measured and converted to Air Quality index (AQI) values. To find the cleanest and the
most polluted hours in exercise places (parks and stadiums), map of Tehran air
pollution using data from monitoring stations and Arc GIS software was created.
Results- Fine particles less than 10 micrometer (PM10), carbon monoxide (CO) and
ozone (O3) were major air pollutants in Tehran. Totally, the cleanest hours were 4to6
and then 17to 18. Peak hours for PM10 were 23 to 1, for CO 8 and 21, and for Ozone
13 to 15.
Conclutions-Regarding the PM10 was the major air pollutant in Tehran and its hourly
concentration changes were minimal, It is advised that in all hours of night and day,
unusually sensitive people should consider reducing prolonged or heavy exertion. Also
it is advised that in peak hours of PM10, people with heart or lung disease, older
adults, and children should reduce prolonged or heavy exertion. Also according to this
study, It is better to perform physical activities and conduct competitions in middle of
Tehran city in early hours of morning (before 7 am) and in 17 to 18 at afternoon.

A cycling training protocol based on heart rate was administered to 6 + 6 crew
members of a Sauro Class submarine, after discovering a lack of physical activity and
general fitness in this personnel (Body Mass Index > 25). They were confronted, prior
to and after training, with an even matching group of untrained boat-mates, by means
of an incremental cycling step-test. Training would consist of a daily 30 min session:
warm-up, steady-state workload and recovery. Workload would be between 70 and 80
% of maximum heart rate, as measured during the first test. Results obtained, very
preliminary and rather scattered though, show that training enhances performance,
while fitness is reduced if no training at all takes place. In fact test subjects improved
their efficiency, as measured by final distance over a given time span, by 15 %,
whereas controls decreased their efficiency by 5 %. Results suggest that a medium
workload might increase exercise endurance, improve general fitness and mood and,
consequently, quality of life.
At present a deeper insight into this research is about to be given by the use of
plicometry, in order to better assess fat free mass, before and after training. As to the
training itself and the two cycling step-tests, ArmBand® recording of caloric output will
be performed in test and control subjects, and shall result in a more accurate estimate
of energy costs. Overall final results would help to establish a training protocol to be
adopted by submarine crews during long-range navigation.

Introduction: The cameramen have a high energy demand overloaded shoulders,
knees and lumbar spine increased risk of musculoskeletal injuries (MI) and
absenteeism. The practice of physical activity (PA) assists in the least well-focused
physical and injury prevention. Objectives: To assess change in lifestyle and physical
conditioning of cameramen subjected to a personalized program of motivation and
physical activity. Patients and methods: A prospective study with 58 cameramen
monitored during 12 months.They were supervised weekly by a physical educator
and sports physician by telephone contact, e-mails and regular visits to their
workplace. Periodically, there were orientation about flexibility, changes in lifestyle
and physical conditioning. They underwent periodic evaluations of general health,
body posture, lumbar flexibility (Wells), physical performance, body mass index (BMI),
waist circumference size (WC) and answering quality of life questionnaires (QOL). For
comparison between groups were performed non-parametric statistical tests such as
Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test. Results: There were three stratified groups: G1:
practitioners of PA at the gym (n = 21), G2: practitioners of PA not at the gym (n = 19),
G3: reporters who haven´t joined the program (18 eligible ). G1 had significantly
reduced average WC (96.2 to 92.9 cm), BMI (26.9 to 26.4 kg / m²), the rate of
absenteeism (45%) and increased lumbar flexibility (21.3 to 26.3 cm) and improved the
perception of QOL. Conclusions: The good results of the program are related to the
frequent monitoring of activities, customized employee motivation, proper choice of
health indicators and the interaction between health staff and the company

Football is the world’s most popular sport with approximately 265 million active
players. As in every sport, there is also a risk for injuries in playing football.
This large retrospective nation-wide study evaluated the incidence and type of lower
extremity fractures (ankle, foot, tibial) , as well the influence of gender, age and level
of performance in Belgian football players over 2 seasons .
In season ‘99-’00 (417,462 football players) a total of 713 lower extremity fractures
were reported, with an average of 0.031 fracture per 100 players compared to 752
fractures (415,934 football players) in season ‘09-‘10, with an average of 0.03
fractures*.
For all type of fractures the incidence was significantly higher in adult players
compared to youth players and in amateur level players compared to top level players.
Only tibial fractures were significantly higher in male players. Ankle and foot fractures
had a similar incidence in male and female players. For every type of fracture the vast
majority occurred during a game.
This retrospective study shows that adult players are at higher risk for these fractures.
A Lower bone quality could be an explanation. There is also a higher incidence of
fractures when performing on amateur level. The more aggressive way of playing on
amateur level and average younger aged players on top level, could be possible
explanations here. The competitive spirit and pressure to win a game might be the
reason for the vast majority of fractures (73%) during competition games.

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to examine the effects of anabolic androgenic steroids on renal
weight and morphology in rats.
DESIGN AND METHODS: One hundred twenty Wistar rats were randomly distributed in
2 experimental groups with or without anabolic androgenic steroids. The animal
received 10mg/kg body weight of Nandrolone Decanoate once a week by
intramuscular injection in the gluteus for 12 weeks. Kidney weight as well as renal and
tubular fibrosis, kidney mesangiums, floculus and glomerular areas were measured.
RESULTS: Kidney wet weight was higher for the groups injected with anabolic
androgenic steroids when compared to the control group (1.06±0.12 versus 1.01±0.16
g, respectively, p=0.008). Among all the morphological parameters analyzed, we
have observed differences on the glomerular area, which was higher in the groups
injected with anabolic androgenic steroids when compared to the control group
(45232±456 versus 43441±640 µm², respectively, p=0.010).
CONCLUSIONS: The group injected with anabolic androgenic steroids showed, in
general, a worse renal profile, with heavier kidneys and higher glomerular area.
However, no differences on renal and tubular fibrosis were observed.

Cortisone, 1936 identified by EC Kendall at Mayo Clinic, is a glucocorticoid hormone
formed in the zona fasciculata of the adrenal glands. In 1948 P Hench used cortisone in
a patient with rheumatism with complete pain relief. Due to its extended field of
effects various diseases ( asthma, inflammatory bowel diseases, multiple sclerosis and
others ) were treated with cortisone.
In 1975 cortisone was prohibited by the IOC as doping because of its euphorising
effect. Since 1.01.2010 all glucocorticoids are prohibited when administered oral,
rectal, intravenous or intramuscular by World Anti Doping Agency. Local und inhalative
applications require the declaration of a therapeutic use exemption.
Looking at the single effects of cortisone - beside the euphorising potential - the value
of cortisone as doping is not evident and an increase of physical power has never been
proved. But for the cyclists of the Tour de France with extremly high physical stress
over 3 weeks cortisone prepares to fight or flight and reducing the physiological
reactions the those burdens. And increased blood glucose levels, more erythrocytes, a
positive inotrope cardial effect combined with the euphorising compound seem to be
good arguments for the use of cortisone during Tour de France. So up to 40 % of the
Tour cyclists are therapy requirung asthmatics with a therapeutic use exemption.
Due to this there exist no problem in proving the use of cortisone in athlets, but a
problem of sport physicians, who testify the certificates of health, necessary for a
therapeutic ude exemption.

Methods: A sample of 2,341 Sardinian students, aged 13 - 21, underwent a test
consisting of 17 multiple-choice item, applying the McNemar Exact Sig 2-sided test
(alfa 0,05).
Results: The percentage in favour of taking performance-enhancing drugs dropped
from 7.5% (61 in 813) to 3.7% (30 in 813) post-course; among those who pre-test
claimed to be likely to make use of drugs it fell from 14.8% (120 in 812) to 4.3% (35 in
812); the rate of dubious opinion fell from 9.4% (76 in 810) to 4.4% (36 in 810). The
negative opinion on doping rose from 68.3% (554 in 811) to 87.8% (811 in 712)

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate influence of physical exercise on the
oral ecosystem.
Methods: 16 Atalanta players, mean age 13 years, and 40 sedentary individuals
(control), mean age 12.5, were selected. A self-administered questionnaire was used
to obtain data concerning a pathological complete history, a history of oral hard and
soft tissues, a family history, oral hygiene practices and snacking habits. Before training
sessions (T1), a clinical monitoring was performed and on each patient were recorded:
DMFT, Plaque Index (PlI), Gingival Index (GI). At T1 and after training (T2), stimulated
saliva was collected and subjected to microbiological and immunological analysis.
Results: The players shown a greater PlI (0,85; ctr 0,08), an increase of dental stains
(42.85%; ctr 2%), increased frequency of atypical swallowing (71.42%; ctr 17%) and nail
biting (57.14%; ctr 0%) and lower frequency of daily brushing (3/die: 0%; ctr 33%)
compared to controls. The young players had a statistically higher microbial load than
controls, both T1 and T2. At T1, 31.25% of the players presented S. mutans >106 and
the percentage rises to 68.75% at T2.
Regard to Lactobacillus spp only 12.5% of athletes had the count >106 and the
percentage rises to 31.25% at T2.
The training period decreased significantly the concentration of SIgA.
Conclusions: Young professional players have increased risk of oral diseases compared
to sedentary subjects, caused either by a lack of attention to the oral health that from
the effects of both immunological and microbiological changes that occur in training

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to investigate the contribution of
biomechanical parameters to countermovement jump and standing long jump
performance.
DESIGN AND METHOD: Fourteen male basketball players volunteered for this study
(17.64±0.79 years; 1.97±0.10 m; 96±16 kg). All players belonged to an Under-19 team
ranked first in the State championship during the monitoring period. Vertical
(countermovement jump and standing long jump) and horizontal (to standing long
jump) force vectors, for eccentric and concentric phases were analyzed by kinect and
kinematic analysis. Biomechanical parameters considered were: peak passive and
propulsion force, time to peak passive and propulsion force, load rate, rate of force
development, eccentric and concentric phase duration.
RESULTS: The principal component analysis showed that in eccentric phase, 63-79% of
jump performance was explained by time to peak passive force and eccentric phase
duration, and 17-36% by peak passive force and load rate, regardless of which jump
and force vector considered. During concentric phase, 53% of performance in
countermovement jump was explained by peak propulsion force, rate of force
development and concentric phase duration, and 26% by peak propulsion force. To
standing long jump, 64-89% of performance was explained by peak propulsion force
and rate of force development, and 7-22% by peak propulsion force and concentric
phase duration.
CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that vertical and horizontal jumps are not related
to the same biomechanical parameters. This result need to be take into account by
coaches and researchers aiming to understand the biomechanical parameters that
could explain jump performance.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between the
multiple directional change test performance (t-test) and biomechanical parameters
from two types of jumps.
DESIGN AND METHOD: Nineteen professional female basketball players from the
Brazilian National Basketball Team performed the t-test, the countermovement jump,
and the countermovement jump after a maximal two-meter run. The jumps were
assessed using a force platform. The biomechanical parameters measured from
countermovement jump were: peak propulsion force, time to peak propulsion force,
impulse, rate of force development, time to the concentric phase, and from
countermovement jump after a maximal two-meter run, mean velocity, peak
propulsion force, time to peak propulsion force, time to support phase and rate of
force development.
RESULTS: Significant correlation (p<.05) was verified between time to complete the
t-test and time to the concentric phase (.55) in countermovement jump; significant
inverse correlations observed between the t-test and peak propulsion force of
countermovement jump after a maximal two-meter run (-.49) and the t-test and
mean velocity (-.54).
CONCLUSION: Although it should be considered the limitations about the relationship
of causality, the results indicate that the ability to produce greater peak propulsion
force and reduced time to concentric phase could be lead to a reduction in the time to
complete the t-test, thus coaches aiming to improve the outcomes of multiple changes
of direction actions could consider these purposes during the program of exercise.

Introductions
In this study we evaluated the level of stress in basketball referees and their
performance in the court in terms of how much time they spent in running, walking
and standing during the games. We used these parameters to evaluate correlation
between performance during the game and level of stress and burnout syndrome.
Methods
The study included 30 referees on FIBA Eurochallenge men and FIBA Euroleague
women competition. Two inventories were used: Self-assessment scale for stress level
and Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) adapted for workers in the sport. MBI scale
consists of three subscales: Emotional Exhaustion, Depersonalization and Personal
Accomplishment subscale. The other part of this study visualized and analyzed the
referee’s movements in the court which was possible thanks to the use of E-analyze

The obtained parameters showed intermediate level of stress in referees. On
Depersonalization subscale 15 referees had moderate level and even 8 referees had
high level of depersonalization. Referees with higher level of depersonalization were
performing at a lower level during the game. We used Independent sample T test and
found statistically significant difference in level of depersonalization among referees
who had highest and lowest level of running. There was no statistically significant
difference in terms of level of stress and performance.
Conclusions
Since depersonalization is defined as sense of alienation, loss of empathy and idealism
in the work it can be concluded that this mental condition can affect performance in
the court in terms of less running during the game.

AIM: We investigated the changes of Heart Rate (HR) and Lactate (BL), during two
different uphill (10%) training: Sprint (ST) vs. Intermittent (IT) training.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:Twelve soccer players (Age 15.8±0.4 yrs, height 175.1±4.7
cm, weight 62.9±4.8 kg, BMI 20.5±0.9 kg/m2) participated at this study. The
participants, after warm-up (running), were randomly assigned to ST or IT and inverted
after three days. In SP the participants performed three sets of eight sprints of 20m
with 90s of recovery and 8’ between sets. In IT the participants performed 13’ with 5s
of sprint and 15s of walking (downhill). One week before, the maximum HR (HRmax)
was evaluated with an incremental test. During ST and IT the HR was evaluated and
normalized with HRmax. The BL was sampled at the end of IT and at each sets for ST.
RESULTS: Two-way ANOVA (Bonferroni post-hoc) showed differences between ST vs. IT
(p<0.0001). The %HRmax between ST and IT was: 76.7±4.4 vs. 86.1±3.1 respectively
(p<0.0001) and the BL showed an opposite trend between ST and IT: 5.6±2.5 vs.
2.9±1.2 mmol•L-1 respectively (p<0.0001).
CONCLUSIONS: This study showed different response of HR and BL between ST and IT
at 10% training slope. The HR increased between IT vs. ST maybe because internal
work increased and the ground reaction force decreased as well as in the BL.
Therefore, if the aim of the training is to improve the metabolic factors we can choose
the IT while, for increasing the muscle strength is necessary to choose ST.

Isokinetic dynamometry is commonly used to evaluate strength and imbalances
between knee flexors and extensors in soccer players. This study examined the
relationship between quadriceps to hamstrings strength ratio (Q/H) and relative
strength of the knee extension. Eighteen professional soccer players took part in the
present study. Peak torque was recorded during maximal isokinetic knee
extension/flexion at angular velocities of 60, 180 and 300o/s. Players were then
divided into two groups, depending on their Q/H strength ratio of their preferred
kicking leg. Players in the low Q/H group (n=7) had significantly lower Q/H ratios at all
angular velocities, compared with the high Q/H group (n=11; 60o/s: 59.5±0.9% vs.
50.0±1.6%, p<0.01; 180o/s: 66.5±1.4% vs. 60.2±2.2%, p<0.02; 360o/s: 73.8±2.6% vs.
66.7±2.9%, p<0.05). Interestingly, players in the low Q/H group had greater strength of
the knee extensors relative to body mass, compared with the high H/Q group
(3.98±0.19 vs. 3.48±0.10 N.m/kg body mass, p<0.02), without any differences in
strength of the hamstrings (1.98±0.09 vs. 2.07±0.06 N.m/kg body mass, NS). There was
also a negative correlation (r=-0.66, p<0.01) between quadriceps strength of the
preferred kicking leg relative to body mass and the ratio of Q/H at the angular velocity
of 60o/s. In conclusion, this study showed that Q/H imbalances measured during
isokinetic strength testing in professional soccer players occur mainly in players with
strong quadriceps muscles, while players with relatively low quadriceps strength have
Q/H ratios at or close to the recommended values. These results may have implications
for hamstring muscle injuries.

Aim: To define the physiological profile of elite athletes from the sport of BMX,
bicycle motocross. The BMX bikes are single speed, small, light and with sturdy wheels
which have a diameter of 20 inches (24 in the Cruiser model). The race track is 300 to
400 metres long with average journey times between 35 and 50 seconds, characterised
by bumps, parabolic curves and other obstacles.
Methods: We took 16 athletes from the Italian National BMX Team of the Italian
Cycling Federation and subjected them to a battery of tests from October 2010 and
February 2011 to evaluate the functional characteristics of the extensor muscle of
the legs and the efficiency of the neuromuscular system:basal ecg, echocardiogram,
test of body composition, postural orthostatic test and 90° squat test, SJ, CMJ, CMJ
15’’; Drop Jump, Wingate Test, Kinesiography.
Results: We showed that comparing the BMX Athletes with other athletes in individual
sports, the average value of SJ (39,3 cm), appears to be similar to that of body
builders (39 cm), midway between that of cross country skiers (24 cm) and that of
slalom skiers (48 cm). The value of CMJ (42,4 cm) is similar to that of a fighter or a
gymnast (42 cm), midway between that of cross country skiers (29 cm) and that of
slalom skiers (58 cm).
Discussion: BMX athletes require: maximum force for gate starting, a high percentage
of white muscular fibres, resisting force, inter and intramuscular coordination,
moderate aerobic training, lean mass under 18%.

Aim this study was set to assess the effect of hydrobike training on the aerobic capacity of
triathletes during 4 weeks of detraining period preceding the competitive season.
Methods a study group of 8 males triathletes (age37.2±2.9,height 170±4.9cm,weight 68.5±5.9
kg) and 8 matched control triathletes took part in the study. At the beginning of the study their
maximal values of oxygen uptake, heart rate and oxygen pulse were assessed during an
incremental test to exhaustion on a hydrobike (Hydrorider,Italy) by using a portable
metabolimeter (VO2000MedGraphics,USA).Then, the study group performed 12 sessions
(3times/week) of hydrobike interval training lasting 30 minutes each1 whereas the control group
was not involved in any structured training protocol; then both groups repeated the incremental
test on the hydrobike.
Results the main result was that the control group significantly decreased maximal oxygen
uptake (46.4±4.3vs.42.7±4.2 ml/kg/min,p<0.05) whereas the study group did not show any
significant decrement (47.9±5.6 vs. 51±3.5 ml/kg/min).Maximal heart rate of the study group
significantly increased after hydrobike training (169.3±5.9vs.173.1±6.6 bpm, p<0.05),while the
control group did not exhibit any change.Oxygen pulse2 was significantly impaired in the control
group (20.9±2.6vs19,2±3.1 ml/bpm,p<0.05) while this parameter kept constant value in the
study group.
Conclusions: it was concluded that hydrobike HIIT was effective in maintaining training status of
triathletes during a period of reduced activity and to counteract some detraining (3) effects.

Lengthening contraction induces muscle injury and it confers protection to subsequent
eccentric sessions. (Nosaka 2001). It can be performed resisting to external load (e.g.:
isotonic) or using isokinetic device. Aim of the study is to measure muscle damage
induced after both eccentric modalities.
Thirty males were assigned to isokinetic(IK) or isotonic(IT). They were tested at
baseline, and up to 4 days after 60eccentric contractions. CK activity, strength loss and
muscle soreness were measured. Same protocol was repeated after 4 weeks.
Compared to baseline, IK and IT resulted in augmented injury symptoms after first
bout. Compared to first bout, second bout resulted in significantly lower muscle
damage both in IK and IT. After first bout, compared to IK, IT showed increased CK
activity (+30±13%), strength loss(+40±14%) soreness (+34±8%), p<0,05 for all
parameters. After second bout, compared to IK, IT showed similar CK activity (+12±4%,
n.s.),soreness (+10%±5%, n.s.), higher strength loss (+24±4%, p<0,05).
Both IK and IT induced damage after first bout and i decreased after second . IT
induced significantly greater damage compared to IK, but it confers more protection
after second bout. It is concluded that neural and mechanical factor influenced
difference between IK and IT eccentric induce damage. (Guilhem, 2011)

The aim of this study was to characterize the changes in elite swimmers’ energetic and
biomechanical profiles, and quantify their contribution for the 200 m freestyle
performance with hierarchical modeling. Nine elite male swimmers were evaluated on
six occasions over two training seasons. An incremental test was applied to obtain
measurements of: (i) swimming velocity at 4 mmol L-1 of blood lactate concentration
and the peak blood lactate after exercise as energetic; (ii) stroke frequency, stroke
length, stroke index and propelling efficiency as biomechanical variables. Performance
was determined based on official time’s lists. Friedman Test and the Wilcoxon Test
were used to analyze the annual changes. Hierarchical linear modelling was computed
to model the performance changes, having the selected variables as time changing
predictors. Despite a slight annual improvement in performance, the energetic and
biomechanical variables presented no significant changes during the study period.
Hierarchic linear modeling showed the velocity at 4 mmol L-1 of blood lactate, the
stroke frequency and the stroke length as the best longitudinal performance
predictors. Each unit of change in velocity at 4 mmol L-1 of blood lactate, stroke
frequency and the stroke length represented a positive effect on performance of 0.10
s, 1.20 s and 0.36 s, respectively. Slight changes in performance, energetic and
biomechanical profiles should be expected for elite swimmers within and between
seasons. Additional improvements in competition can be accomplished by
manipulating the swimming velocity at 4 mmol L-1 of blood lactate concentration,
stroke frequency and the stroke length during training.

Objective. The present study focused on a particular group of elite athletes that are
professional Formula 1 racing car drivers, as these subjects represent an exceptional
sample to study the effects of extreme psycho-physical conditions on the brain
functional organizations.
Design and method. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to examine
neural activity in 11 professional (mean age 24±4 yrs) and 11 age-matched naïve
healthy male drivers while performing two relatively simple visuo-motor tasks chosen
to minimize potential differences in performance. Different analysis approaches were
used to characterize functional brain organization of these two groups in terms of
brain response, functional networks organization and blood oxygenation level
dependent signal variability.
Results. Our results showed that, despite similar performance levels, professional
drivers recruited task-related brain regions with reduced extension and magnitude, as
compared to non-expert drivers. On the other hand, the observation of reinforced
connections between brain areas highlighted using a multivariate auto-regressive
approach, and the increased system complexity indicated that professional drivers
brain can elaborate information in a more efficient way.
Conclusions. Our results demonstrated in Formula 1 race car drivers a brain functional
reorganization that is consistent with so called ‘neural efficiency’ hypothesis, which
postulates that expertise and superior skills are associated with both a reduction in the
use of energy resources and an increased efficiency in their utilization. These findings
suggest that neural efficiency may be a matter of ‘quality’ of brain recruitment rather
than ’quantity’.

The use of whole body vibration (WBV) as an exercise method has rapidly increased
over the last decade. The aim of this study was to evaluate long term effects of
different amplitudes of whole- body vibration training with progressive frequencies on
flexibility, vertical jump height, anaerobic power and agility. Twenty six healthy male
students were randomly divided in three groups: high amplitude vibration group (n=9),
low amplitude vibration group (n=9), and control group (n=8). The vibration training
consisted of 5 week whole-body vibration 3 times a week with amplitudes of 4 and
2mm and progressive frequencies from 25Hz with increments of 5Hz weekly. As
outcome measures flexibility, vertical jump height, anaerobic power, and agility tests
performed initially and after 5 weeks were considered. Statistical analysis was done
using one way analysis of variance. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. The
5week low or high amplitude vibration training programs with progressive frequencies
did not show any significant effect on flexibility (p=o.22), vertical jump height (p=o.11)
and anaerobic power (p=0.14) but showed a significant improvement in agility only in
the high vibration group (p=0.02). It is concluded that the long term effects of different
amplitudes of whole- body vibration training did not enhance performance globally
and just improvement of agility can be expected in the high vibration group.

This study investigated the impact of different recovery strategies on physical
performance, body temperature and perceptual leg fatigue of elite volleyball players
performed in warm environment. During 3 test sessions ten volleyball players
completed a 60 min simulated match play in a hot conditions, each randomly followed
by 1 of 3 recovery modalities for 14 minutes: (a) Contrast temperature water therapy
consisted of alternating cold and hot water immersion, (b) Cold shower, and (c) Passive
recovery (ambient temperature). Vertical jump, agility and speed performance, body
temperature and perceptual measures were determined before each match, and
immediately after each recovery method. There was significant (p < 0.05) attenuation
in perceived leg fatigue for all groups, although the greatest difference was between
contrast water therapy and passive group. However body temperature was
significantly lower (- 0, 58°C) in cold shower conditions compared with contrast water
and passive strategies. There was a significantly (p < 0.05) decrease in Counter
mouvement jump power and 5m sprint time performance after cold shower compared
with other groups. In contrast water immersion there was a significant increase in
Squat jump height performance. In conclusion, there was not a substantial effect on
vertical jump agility and speed performance, when compared between the different
modalities of recovery. However the observed positive effect on perceived leg fatigue
and temperature suggest that cold and contrast water therapy may be effective for
players performing in the heat.

Introduction: Sports can positively influence bone mineralization and exert positive
cardiac and vascular effects.
Aim of the study: To evaluate the effects of different sports on bone health and
mineralization, lipid profile,insulin sensitivity and cardiovascular function.
Material and Methods: We evaluated 60 athletes (12.2±1.2 yrs) practicing downhill
skiing, ice-hockey and swimming. Bone mineralization was evaluated by DEXA and
bone health [SOS(speed-of-sound)- and BTT(bone-transmission-time)-SDS] by
ultrasound.
Lipid
profile,
insulin

HOMAr(Homeostasis-Model-Assessment-for-insulin-resistance)
and
QUICKI
(quantitative-insulin-sensitivity-check-index)] were evaluated. Endothelial function was
evaluated by flow mediated dilation of the brachial artery (FMD) and the intima-media
thickness(IMT) by B-mode ultrasound at the level of the common carotid artery.
Results: Swimmers show higher triglyceride values (mg/dl): 87.9±41.9 vs skiers
53.3±15.1 and ice-hockey players 60.1±28.4.Skiers show higher bone mineralization
than ice-hockey players(1.01±0.1 vs 0.94±0.05) and higher bone quality than
ice-hockey players and swimmers (BTT 0.55±0.84 vs -0.18±0.6 and -0.18±1.16).
Ice-hockey players have a significantly better FMD than swimmers (15,4±4,9 vs
11,3±2,4).Swimmers show an increased insulin resistance(HOMAr) compared to
ice-hockey players(2,33±0,74 vs 1,54±0,7) and a decreased insulin sensitivity(QUICKI)
compared to skiers and ice-hockey players(0,31±0,03 vs 0,35±0,02 and 0,36±0,03). A
positive correlation between BMD-SDS and BMI-SDS, lean body mass and weekly
exercise time was found. There is also a correlation between QUICKI, lean body mass
and weekly exercise time.
Conclusion: Each sport exerts different effects on bone, cardiovascular system and
metabolism, depending from the modalities of the physical activity. Swimmers, due to
the higher triglyceride values and decreased insulin sensitivity seem to be at risk for
future metabolic derangement.

Objective: There are more than 840,000 registered referees. Football refereeing is a
physically challenging job. Fitness of football referees is a major concern due to older
ages and significance of performance. The aim of this study was to assess the potential
correlation between selected parameters of fitness and assessed performance of all 78
referees (32 center referee and 46 assistant) of Premier League during season
2009-2010.
Design and Method: In a cross- sectional study, all referees selected for the
competitions were enrolled. All paticipants underwent exercise stress test (Bruce
Ramp Protocol), Pulmonary function test (using digital spirometry) and body
compostion assessment (using electrical bio-empedence).Then the weekly scores of
each referee, assessed by qualified supervisors of national federation using FIFA
assessor form, were obtaind throughout the season (34 weeks) and registered.
Results: Mean and standard deviation of referee scores were 85.8±0.25
[CI95%:85.30-86.29]. Correlation between referees’ mean score and parameters such
as age, weight, body mass index, body fat percent, resting heart rate, maximal heart
rate, aerobic capacity (VO2max), Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) and
Forced vital capacity (FVC) were analysed. No statistical correlation (P<0.05) were
found.
Conclusion: It seems that the laboratory findings of cardiopulmonary fitness and body
composition may not correlate well to the acquired scores of each top-class referee.
It may be partly explained by the fact that performance of a football referee may be
influenced more by cognitive, psychological and experiential factors.

The Yo-yo intermittent recovery (IR) tests evaluate an individual’s ability to perform
repeatedly intensive exercise. The Yo-yo IR level 1 (Yo-Yo IR1) test focuses on the
capacity to carry out intermittent exercise leading to maximal activation of the aerobic
system. Yo-yo tests are very popular in soccer; however, there is no study addressed
the details of their relation to canonical aspects of aerobic fitness. The aim of this
study was to examine the physiological correlates of the Yo-Yo intermittent recovery
test level 1 (Yo-Yo IR1) in professional soccer play¬ers. Twenty-five male soccer players
(means., body mass 68.24 kg, height 181.14cm, age 26.73 years) performed a battery
of fitness test to asses VO2max, aerobic endurance performance (Yo-Yo intermittent
endurance test), soccer dribbling endurance performance and power performance
(Maximal vertical jump, 30m sprint with 10m split time). The same test battery was
replicated after an experimental soccer game in order to assess selective effect of
fatigue on physical performance. Result showed that the Yo-Yo IR1 performances (m)
were significantly related (r=0.77, p = 0.0001) to VO2max and CMJ (r= 0.57; p= 0.003).
CMJ (50.2) and 30mSR (4.28 s) performances were not significantly different (p >0.05).
The Yo-Yo intermittent test had significantly higher VO2max (P<0.001), and better
soccer dribbling endurance (Hoff test) (P<0.001) and 30m sprint times (P<0.05). These
findings show that Yo—Yo IR1 may be considered as a valid soccer-specific field test for
the assessment of well-developed aerobic-anaerobic fitness and game-related
endurance.

Objective. The work purpose was study of a functional state (FS) in children with the
information stress in the dependence on the level of aerobic fitness (LAF).
Design and method. In the study healthy children of 5-14 years in a quantity of 612
people were participated. For the analysis of a FS the complex of physiological,
psychological and behavioural indicators was used. Aerobic possibilities were
evaluated on the basis of the determination of the value of the maximal oxygen uptake
(VO2max) and power loading with the heart rate 170 beats/min (PWC–170). In
children and adolescents with the high and low LAF was conducted the analysis of
differences FS.
Results. The obtained information indicates that the specific features of the aerobic
fitness for work of subjects determine the level of nospecific activation in the state of
rest and the specific character of psychophysiological changes FS in the conditions of
the test loads.
Conclusion. In the majority the case, the trained children and adolescents were
characterized by high speed and quality of work, low degree of activation in the state
of rest and less expressed psychophysiological changes FS with the information load,
realized at the optimum and maximum rate, by the low 'psychophysiological price' of
intellectual activity. The greatest quantity of between-group differences is revealed in
the children of 7-8 years, and minimum - in schoolboys 5-6 and 9-10 years. This study

In overhead athletes, with repeated shoulder movements in extra-rotation and
abduction, rotator cuff pathologies could frequently occur in the dominant shoulder. In
volleyball the continuous spike and serve overhead gestures could induce a
progressive posterior capsular retraction. The aim of the present study was to
evaluate, in a group of asymptomatic semi-professional volleyball players, rotator cuff
muscles function with a new specific device. Methods. 30 volleyball players, 15
females and 15 males, all right handed central or lateral spikers were evaluated by
some common clinical tests, to detect bilateral shoulder range of motion (ROM) and
rotator cuff muscles strength; athletes were also submitted to an isometric bilateral
shoulder strength test, with a specific upper limb dynamometer (Dynatorq, Florence,
Italy), in three different positions: 1) arm 0° adducted ; 2) arm 90° abducted, to
reproduce the spike gesture; 3) arm behind the thorax, similar to the clinical lift-off, to
test subscapularis muscles. All clinical and instrumental data were collected in male
and female groups and, in each group, dominant and non dominant shoulders were
compared. Results. Our data show in all athletes an initial postero-superior
impingement in the dominant shoulder, with significant ROM modification (increase of
extra- and decrease of intra-rotation), and with significant weakness of the
subscapularis muscle. Conclusion. In volleyball athletes a pre-clinical diagnosis of lack
of strength of subscapularis muscles in the dominant shoulder, before the occurrence
of pain or clinical signs, could be an important diagnostic target to delay the posterior
capsular retraction by specific training modifications.

Aim: Athletes body composition analysis normally evaluates either body hydration or
the efficacy of the physical training both derived from the soft tissue mass adaptation.
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) is a non-invasive and field method for the body
hydration analysis. Soccer training includes both aerobic and anaerobic effort. The
study is aimed to verify the body hydration level after a period of strenuous physical
exercise. Methods: 15 professional soccer players were enrolled. BIA measurements at
rest condition and without physical activity in the previous 12 h were obtained (BIA
101 Sport Edition, Akern, Florence, Italy) following the standard tetrapolar method at
the beginning of the regular season and after 1 (T1) and 2 (T2) months of soccer
training. Statistical analysis was perform by Anova test. Results: After 2 months of
soccer training the weight resulted to be unchanged. The resistance (Rz) to the
transition of an alternating current was slightly decreased, while the reactance (Xc)
was significantly lower (p<0.05). Body Water and soft tissue didn’t show any statistical
differences among the three evaluation, however a reduction of Fat Mass (FM) and a
little improve of water in Extra Cellular Compartment (ECW) were observed.
Conclusion: The results show a peculiar trend toward in modification of the body
composition measures and suggesting for extra cellular component an important role
in athletes. The difference in reactance measurement suggest an additional role of
vector analysis for athletes subjects. Therefore the weight is not sufficient and
exclusive to better evaluate the high level performance in sports.

Aim:To evaluate the difference in aerobic capacity of rugby player (backs and forward).
Subjects and methods: 18 professional rugby players (6 backs, 12 forwards). Each
subject performed a maximal incremental treadmill test with gas exchange
measurements for the evaluation of VO2max and anaerobic threshold (AT).
Results: Mean age, weight, height, Body Mass Index ± standard deviation (SD) were
respectively: 25±3.2, 101±12.2 kg, 185±7.1 cm, 29±2.9 kg/m².
Mean ± SD values of AT speed (ATS), speed max, AT heart rate (HR) and HRmax were
respectively: 13.3±0.8 (range12.2-14.7km/h), 21.9±2 km/h (range17.5-24.3 km/h),
177.7±7.7 bpm (range 166-193 bpm), 188.1±7.12bpm (range 176-205 bpm).
The ATS was significantly greater in backs (13.8±0,4vs 13.1±0.7 km/h; T-test, P<0.05)
instead forward.The VO2max was significantly greater in forwards (5.7±0,6vs 4.6±0,5
L/min,; T-test, P<0,05).The mean value of VO2max/kg for backs was 54.2ml/kg/min
and 52.5ml/kg/min for forwards (T-test, P>0,05).
Conclusion: In rugby, different roles may require different levels of aerobic capacity
that are more important for backs because they had cover greater total distances
walking and running during the match; on the opposite the forwards had more
strength and muscle power for the static steps (maul, ruck, scrum, touche and
tackling).
VO2max was significant higher in forwards while there are no significant differences in
VO2max/kg. These results could be due to the two groups different body structure
indeed the forwards have a higher percentage body fat.

The aim of this study was to develop a structural equation model for young swimmer´s
performance based on some selected anthropometric, hydrodynamic and kinematical
variables. A total of 114 subjects (73 boys and 41 girls with a mean age of 12.31 ± 1.09
years old; 47.91 ± 10.81 kg of body mass; 156.57 ± 10.90 cm of height and Tanner
stages 1-2) were evaluated. A theoretical model to predict swimming performance was
adopted based on selected anthropometric, hydrodynamic and kinematical variables.
The variables assessed were the: (i) performance; (ii) stroke index; (iii) speed
fluctuation; (iv) stroke distance; (v) active drag; (vi) arm span and; (vii) hand’s surface
area. All links were significant (p < 0.05). However, deleting the path between the
hand’s surface area and the stroke index the model's good-of-fit improved
meaningfully. Overall confirmatory model explained 50% of the young swimmer’s
performance. The model’s good-of-fit was good (x2/df = 1.908; CFI = 0.940).
Swimming performance in young swimmers seems to be dependent of swimming
efficiency (i.e., stroke index), which is determined by the remaining variables assessed,
except for the hand’s surface area. Therefore, young swimmers coaches and
practitioners should design training programs with a focus in specific training sets
regarding technique enhancement (i.e., improving the swimming efficiency).

The aim of this study is to analyze the changes which the competition period in elite
athletes have affected over body compositions and blood fats (serum lipids). This study
has been applied to totally 22 players, (age avarage 21,73 ± 1,19 years old and high
avarage 185,1± 9,46 cm), who haven’t got any health problems and have similar age
and physical features. Body compositions were measured twice for the first time
before competition period and the second time just after competition period using BIA
machine, TANITA (TBF 300). By making measurements, the effects of competition
period in basketball and handball on body mass index, BM, FM, BFP, FFM, BLM and BLP
were investigated. And blood measurements were made twice just after body
composition measurements. In blood samples taken, the effects of elite athletes
competition periods on TG, cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C and VLDL were researched. Also
examined the relationship between body composition and serum lipids. In our study,
when the values of elite athletes’ pre-tests and post-tests
were compared, there
were statistically significant differences in the elite athletes’ results of body weight,
body mass index, fat free mass and body liquid rate (p<0,01). There was not
statistically significant correlation between body composition and serum lipids.

Aim: Repeated sprint ability is one of the most important skills for team sports but
there are not studies on its relationship with aerobic and lactic anaerobic capacity in
young soccer players. Methods: 14 young elite soccer players from a professional team
were recruited. They underwent two laboratory tests: an incremental exercise test and
an all-out test to asses aerobic capacity and lactic anaerobic capacity respectively.
Athletes also performed a repeated sprint ability test on the field. During the
laboratory tests heart rate, oxygen uptake, carbon dioxide production, and pulmonary
ventilation were assessed by a portable gas analyser. Velocity and fatigue indices were
measured during the test on the field. Blood lactate was also measured after the
all-out test and the repeated sprint ability test . Results: No correlation between
aerobic capacity and lactic anaerobic capacity indices and measures from repeated
sprint ability test was found, even though the all-out test appeared to fully recruit the
lactic anaerobic capacity. Conclusions: It was concluded that there are no correlation
between the aerobic capacity and the lactic anaerobic capacity obtained in the
laboratory setting and the velocity and the fatigue measured from repeated sprint
ability test. This finding should be taken in consideration when testing young soccer
players.

Reaction time has been defined as the time that elapses between the firing of the
starter’s gun and the moment that the athlete is exerting a pre-determined amount of
pressure on the starting blocks. There is a controversy regarding the extent that a
short reaction time could provide an advantage in the performance in sprint running
especially in 60 mm which is the shortest distance in track and field competitions. The
aim of this study was to test the relationship of reaction time with time performance in
the 60 m. Five hundred and sixty five athletes (334 male and 231 female) who
participated in the 60 m of the World indoor championships in Birmingham (2003),
Budapest (2004), Moscow (2006), Valencia (2008), Doha (2010) and Istanbul (2012)
were analyzed. Data for time of 60 m and reaction time were the official results of the
electronic timing system in the corresponding organizations, where the best
performance of each athlete was included for analysis. A Pearson correlation
coefficient was used to establish any significant association between the time
performance and reaction time with significance level set at P < 0.05. The results
showed significant correlation between the reaction time and the final time
performance in the 60 m in Budapest for men r = 0.312, n = 58, in Moscow for men (r =
0.462, n = 54) and women (r = 0.459, n = 33), in Valencia for men (r = 0.646, n = 57)
and women (r = 0.637, n = 35) in Doha for men (r = 0.445, n = 52) and for women (r =
0.702, n = 34) and in Istanbul for men (r = 0.615, n = 57) and for women (r = 0.597, n =
62). No significant correlations were observed in Birmingham for men and women and
in Budapest for women. It could be concluded that there were significant associations
between reaction time and 60 m performance in sprint indoor running, and it can be
proposed that reaction time plays a significant role to the final performance. ~

Background: soccer is a discipline that relies much on single-leg support under
unstable conditions; thus it appears very important for players to have excellent
balance skills, especially for the unipedal stance. Nevertheless, the link between
balance capabilities and functional performance remains mostly unexplored, especially
in young subjects.
Methods: this study investigated the changes in balance for uni- and bipedal stances in
21 soccer players (age 14.5±0.2) induced by fatigue subsequent to a Repeated Sprint
Ability (RSA) test. Postural sway was assessed on the basis of center-of-pressure (COP)
time series collected before and after RSA (2 x 15 m shuttle sprint interspersed with 20
s of passive recovery). Data was processed to calculate: sway area, COP path length
and maximum displacement in mediolateral (ML) and anteroposterior (AP) directions,
and COP velocity. Two-way ANOVA was used to evaluate the effect of fatigue and
visual input on sway parameters. The relationship between fatigue (i.e. percentage
decrement score in RSA) and postural sway modifications was assessed using Pearson
product moment correlation analysis.
Results: our analysis revealed a significant effect of fatigue on most sway parameters
and a moderate correlation between fatigue and the ratio post-/pre-fatigue of COP
path length and velocity in both ML and AP direction for single-leg stance.
Conclusions: as reduced performance of the postural control system may increase the
risk of lower limb injuries, it is desirable to include specific balance training protocols in
the training programs to reduce both the impact of fatigue on performance and risk of
injuries.

Purpose - The aim of this work was to study the effect of 7 weeks interval training (IT)
program on Ht, Hb and PV variations (PVV) in response to maximal exercise.
Methods - Twenty male subjects (21.1±1.1 years) were assigned in randomized order
to a control group (CG, n=10) or to IE trained group (TG n=10). TG participated to an IT
program 2 to 3 times a week during 7 weeks. Each session training consisted to run 2
times 10 x 30s/30s at 110% of their maximal aerobic speed (MAS) with 30s active
recovery at 50% of MAS. 5 minutes recovery was allowed between each 10 x 30s/30s.
To measure Ht, Hb and lacate (La) 3 mL blood was collected at rest, at the end of the
maximal test (Htex, Hbex, Laex) and after 10 (Ht10, Hb10, La10) and 30 minutes (Ht30,
Hb30, La30) of recovery. To determine delta PV the formula proposed by Greenleaf et
al. (1979) was used.
Results - Both for CG and TG the anthropometric parameters didn’t change
significantly after the 7 weeks. MAS increased significantly only in TG after training
(16±1vs.17±1 km/h, p<0.05) without any significant change in VO2max in both groups.
In both CG and TG, Ht increased significantly at the end of maximal exercise before and
after IET but without any training effect on Ht and Hb in CG. On the same way, in CG
%delta PV didn’t change significantly in response to IET. In TG there was no training
effect on %delta PV in response to maximal exercise (-0.3±2.4% vs.-3.4±7.3%), after 10
min. recovery training (-2.2±1.7% vs. -3.4±4.3%) and after 30 min. recovery (-2.1±2.5%
vs. -4.5±4.1%).
Conclusion In conclusion these results suggest that, in male adult subjects, 7 weeks
of IT program induced a significant increase in MAS without any change in VO2max.
However, this training program had no effect on Ht, Hb and delta PV in response to
maximal exercise. This lack of changes can be explained, at least in part, by the
duration and/or the intensity of the training program used in our study.

The ibuprofen is used by athletes to relieve both acute pain and muscular damage
caused by exercise. Our objective was to evaluate its effect on the physical
performance of rats in exhaustive exercise, the muscle levels of nitric oxide,
pro-inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress parameters.
Wistar male rats were submitted to 6 weeks of swimming (1 hour/day, 5 days/week,
5% of body overweight). Thereafter, a test was performed to determine the lactate
threshold; there was an increase on the control group (7 and 9% of body overweight)
[F(1,12)=23.41; P<0.05]. Besides that, the sedentary group presented a bigger body
weight [F(1,12)=20.58; P<0.05]. Subsequently, the animals received daily ibuprofen (15
mg/kg, p.o.). On the 3rd, 6th and 9th days went through exhaustive exercises tests
(13% of body overweight until being submersed 10 seconds). The training and the
training+ibuprofen increased the time of exhaustion on the 3rd [F(3,26)=24.31; P<0.01]
and 6th day [F(3,26)=7.03; P<0.05]. On the 9th day, the sedentary+ibuprofen and the
trained ones presented a higher latency in comparison to the sedentary group; and the
trained+ibuprofen showed latency even higher [F(3,26)=8.07; P<0.05]. The statistical
analysis did not show any level difference of IL-1beta, TNF-alpha, protein carbonilation
and lipid peroxidation; however, there was an increase on nitric oxide [F(3,32)=5.23;
P<0.05] in the soleus muscle of groups in which ibuprofen was administered.
The increase on nitric oxide levels in the ibuprofen groups may have partially
contributed to a better performance of them, due to the fact that it is a vasodilator
that raises the blood supply.

Aim:Cardiovascular measurements have never been performed during real underwater
dynamic apnoea (DA), thus, hemodynamic adjustments to DA has been studied only
during simulations. Methods:Twelve skilled elite divers (11male and 1 female) were
recruited. All hemodynamic measurements were performed by means of an
impedance cardiograph adapted to the underwater environment. Heart rate (HR),
stroke volume (SV), and cardiac output (CO) during static apnoea (SA) and DA were
gathered. Mean arterial pressure (MBP), systemic vascular resistance (SVR), and
arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) were also assessed. The following 5 trials were
performed by the divers: head-out immersion during normal breathing (test A); 3
minutes of SA immersed at the surface (B) and at 3m depth (C); and DA till exhaustion
immersed at the surface (D) and at 3m depth (E). Results:Both B and C conditions led
to bradycardia (-17%) compared to A, and also induced a decrement in SV (-8%) and in
CO (- 25%), while MBP was maintained due to an increase in SVR. A significant MBP
increment (+ 11%) was detected only during tests D and E, when a SaO2 drop was also
present, whereas HR, SV and CO remained substantially unchanged. Conclusion:We
concluded that typical diving response was present only during SA, while sympathetic
activation was induced by exercise during DA, which partially obscured the effects of
the diving response. We hypothesised that the exercise pressor reflex and the central
command were responsible for the phenomenon.

Objective. The goal of this research is the evaluation of aerobic modifications in young
athletes in relation to years and agonistic season.
Design and method. We analyze 8 cross-country skiing/biathlon athletes and 9
hockey/ice-skating athletes. Subjects, males and females, have an average age of 15,7
at the first check. The athletes are chosen for their promising performance. They are
evaluated two times in a year at the beginning and at the end of the summer
preparation season from 2009 to 2011. Anthropometric parameters, corporal
composition, functional evaluation of the pulmonary ventilation with maximal test and
oxygen consumption are estimated by cardiopulmonary exercise test (Quark
CPET-Cosmed).
Results. VO2max is not statistically different over the time neither in absolute value
nor in relative value depending on the weight. In both the groups we notice a
statistically significant decrease of maximum heart rate with the age. We evaluated on
all subjects the variation of the aerobic parameters between the beginning and the
end of the summer training sessions, showing significant differences only in endurance
group.
Conclusions. Enduring athletes show a seasonal increase of the aerobic function,
despite the fact that no significant improvements are noticed in the years. This is in
disagreement with the results reported in literature, showing better performance up
to 20 years old. On the other hand, during the overall period the athletes maintain
high performance, although they do not become of national level. The registered VO2
max values suggest a modification of training methodology and training intensity
distribution to enhance the performance.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to quantify the reliability of heart rate
monitoring to assess energy expenditure during recovery after moderate and
high-intensity exercise in prolonged sprint and middle distance runners.
Materials and methods: Twenty-two runners underwent two different sessions of
interval training during which they performed six bouts of running at two different
intensities: three bouts at 80% and three bouts at 120% of anaerobic threshold
previously assessed . Bouts were spaced by a recovery period of three minutes.
Throughout both sessions, heart rate, oxygen uptake, carbon dioxide production and
pulmonary ventilation were measured by means of a portable gas analyzer. The excess
in carbon dioxide production was also estimated to test the hypothesis that a cardiac
drift, occurring during recovery between repetitions of interval training, was related to
carbon dioxide accumulation.
Results: Both workloads led to a cardiac drift in heart rate, which showed a progressive
increase of the same extent during recovery periods between bouts, whereas oxygen
uptake and carbon dioxide excess were unmodified.
Conclusions: On the basis of our research, the use of heart rate as a parameter to
evaluate energy expenditure is inaccurate and unfit for training. Moreover, carbon
dioxide excess is unrelated to cardiac drift.

Aim of the study: Previous studies suggested that exercise might be beneficial for the
elderly; especially the type of exercise program combines resistance and aerobic
exercise. Circuit hydraulic resistance exercise(CHRE) is an economical protocol for
improving physical fitness in the elderly. The purpose of present study was to
investigate the effect of CHRE on a super-old man.
Materials and Methods : The subject was an 89-year-old, a super-old male and he
participate in a 36-hour exercise program which contained twelve weeks, three times a
week, and each time for one hour in a classroom of college, there were six resistance
training equipment: chest press, leg abduction, arm curls, leg press, back press, and
knee extension. Outcome measurements were including: isometric muscle strength,
senior fitness test, and ultrasonography for measuring the muscle thickness of thigh.
Results: This 89 years old man had finished this exercise program. After CHRE training,
the ultrasonography data show the muscle thickness of rectus femoris muscle was
increased from 1.46 to 2.38 (cm). The hand grip strength also showed improvement
(20.9 to 24.3 kg). Besides, the present subject was showed improvement in other test
items from senior fitness test. The family members of subject were satisfied with
present training effect.
Conclusions: The present study suggested that CHRE could have positive effect on the
super-old elderly in an economic way; however, there still need some special
consideration about the subject over 80 year-old . Such as: the health condition,
prevent sudden unconsciousness. Besides, prevention of falling could be the first
priority.

Warm-up is essential for optimizing performance of explosive movements such as the
vertical jump. In most studies examining vertical jump performance after acute
interventions a 5 min submaximal warm-up is commonly used. However, it is not
known if a longer warm-up would increase baseline jump performance and therefore
affect the conclusions drawn. The aim of this study was to examine whether doubling
the warm-up time could increase vertical jump performance. Twenty two male
athletes performed two standardized warm-ups, one week apart, consisting of either
5min or 10min of running at a submaximal intensity (heart rate: 110-120 bpm),
followed by 5 min of dynamic stretching. Before and 3 min after of each warm-up
routine, subjects performed three maximal countermovement jumps with free arm
motion, and the best jump at each time point was recorded using a Vertec apparatus.
Two-way ANOVA with repeated measures showed significant main effect for warm-up
duration (p<0.018) and duration x pre-post interaction (p<0.018). Tukey post hoc test
revealed that a 5 min warm-up increased vertical jump performance by 4.0±0.7%
(p<0.01), while increasing the running duration during warm-up from 5 to 10 min
resulted in a significantly greater increase of performance by an additional 1.7±0.8%
(p<0.01). The greater increase of vertical jump performance after the 10 min warm-up
may be due to a higher muscle temperature. The findings of the present study must be
taken into account when studying the effects of different interventions on vertical
jump, since the duration of the warm-up may alter the baseline performance.

Introduction: Despite the great popularity of the handball game only few publications
on the physiological strain of handball players during competitive matches are
available. Aim of this study was an objectification of physiological strain during
amateur handball matches.
Methods: Subjects of investigation were 9 male experienced amateur handball players
(age: 22.8 ± 3.7 yrs, height: 183.3 ± 8 cm, weight: 81 ± 6.5 kg), engaged in regular
competitive handball. Heart rate during five regular matches was measured using a
breast belt system (Suunto Smart Belt, Suunto Finland). Blood lactate concentration
was measured after each half, substitutions and penalties (LactateScout, SensLab
Germany).
Results: Average active match time was 40.4 ± 11.8 min. The mean heart rate of all
field players during the matches was 162.1 ± 11.1 bpm, which corresponded to 85.1 ±
3.6 % of the individual maximal heart rate. The average concentration of blood lactate
measured immediately after the playing halfs and substitutions was 3.3 ± 1.8 mmol/l
with a maximum value of 11.9 mmol/l.
Conclusions: Compared to studies investigating elite handball players, average active
match time was about 30% longer. Average blood lactate concentration was lower,
which might be owed to the prolonged active time and/or implicating a lower
anaerobic capacity and/or volitive qualities. On the other hand, cardiac strain was
comparable to measurements obtained in elite handball players. In general it can be
concluded, that physiological strain of the amateur players during handball matches is
high. A high cardio-respiratory fitness is obligatory and may improve match
performance.

Aims: Aims of this study were firstly, to assess training load in elite handball players by
creatine kinase (CK) and secondly, to evaluate the potential of heart rate variability
(HRV) for the estimation of training loads in elite team athletes. Therefore the
association of the individual CK-level and HRV-measures at rest was investigated. We
hypothesized, that a greater HRV at morning rest – indicating an improved adaptability
and recovery state – is associated with a lower CK-level and vice versa.
Methods: Eight male elite handball players were examined during a regular handball
season in the morning hours one and three days after a competitive match,
respectively. Inter-beat intervals were recorded in a sitting position to calculate heart
rate (HR) and HRV (SDNN). CK was determined from capillary blood samples using a
spectrophotometrical device.
Results: Average CK-value was 325 ± 162 U/L, which is markedly increased above
reference values used in clinical practice (~200 U/L). The distribution of individual high
and low SDNN-values differed significantly for high and low muscular damage (p =
0.005), whereas HR was not different.
Conclusions: It is concluded that, firstly, muscular damage and activity during the
regular season do not indicate overreaching in the investigated handball athletes, as
CK-values fit well within reference limits of athletic population. Secondly, HRV at rest
has the potential to contribute to an individual estimation of training load, as the
results are in accordance with the hypothesis that a greater HRV at rest is associated
with an individually lower CK-level and vice versa.

Objective: Evaluate the effects of a resistance training protocol on Phase Angle (PhA) in
breast cancer survivors. Design and methods: 18 patients (mean age 49,3±10,1),
surgically treated for breast cancer with therapeutic treatment concluded at least six
month previously, volunteered to exercise 2 days/week for 6 months. At the beginning
the workload was 40% of 1RM and was progressively increased every month. The
training session was structured: 5 minutes warm-up; 2 exercises for leg extensor (leg
press and leg extension), 1 for knee flexors (leg curl), 2 for lower extremities
(adduction and abduction) and 2 exercises for upper body (shoulder press and vertical
traction); a final phase with stretching exercises. In order to evaluate the exercise
effect on PhA (PhA could represent an important tool for evaluating the clinical
outcome or for monitoring the disease progression and may be superior to other
serum or anthropometric nutritional indicators), all patients were tested for Body
Impedance Analyse (BIA) using a 3000 Handy DS Medica (50 kHz and 100 kHz). Total
Water (TBW), Intracellular Water (ICW), Extracellular Water (ECW), Free Fat Mass
(FFM), Fat Mass (FM), Basal Metabolism Rate (BMR) and Body Cell Mass (BCM) were
evaluated too. BIA was performed every fifteen days. Results: At the time of writing
results show an increase in PhA values (from 5,46±0,44 to 5,56±0,41 at 50 kHz and
from 5,39±0,45 to 5,48±0,48 at 100 kHz) and a decrease of FM from 28,47±4,9% to
27,08±4,4%. Conclusions: These findings seem to confirm that physical activity
improves PhA values.

Introduction: The first natural human movement is floating and swimming. The second
is crawling on hands and knees. Climbing is a similar movement when the child can
stand upright. Swimming and climbing are sports that require an instinctive
movement; the others require different physical capacities in accordance with
auxology.
Aim :We propose a spontaneous and funny movement to disable people to give them
the opportunity to practice a sport for top level or for all, to improve the
relationship with their own environment (World Health Organization 2001)and to
decrease the risk of pathology related with sedentary life-style.
Materials and method: We monitored the athletes of world championships from
Ekaterinburg 2006 to Arco 2011, 15 women and 50 men from 12 countries (age 18-50)
with different types of physical disabilities (medical,blood examination,ECG,fitness
test).
Results: During six years all the athletes were in healthy conditions. Their fitness tests
were between fit and optimum. The integration of climbers and paraclimbers was very
good, also because the competition areas are the same. We achieved the maximum in
Arco 2011 (same areas and same moments).
Conclusions: Sport climbing is in the “short list” for Olympic Games 2020. The
International Federation manages climbing and paraclimbing. The number of
paraclimbers is increasing also in Youth and School competitions. We achieved a good
relationship between people with disability and their own environment. Many disable
people increased their work opportunity.

OBJECTIVE Aerobic Fitness (AF), quantified measuring oxygen uptake peak (V’O2peak)
during a graded maximal exercise test (GXT), is a key requisite of a successful
locomotor impaired athlete (LIA), in individual and team sports. AF depends on motor
function (MF) and hours of training per week (TH). We found a strict correlation
(R=0.92) between AF and the energy expenditure (MET). This study is aimed at
investigating the hypothesis that sport MET, has a main impact on AF. METHODS In 32
informed LIA (19 paraplegics, 9 amputees, 4 with poliomyelitis) competing in Fencing
(F) N=6, in Wheelchair Basketball (WB) N=13, in Wheelchair Tennis (WT) N=4, in Nordic
Skiing (NS) N=5 and in 1000 m Track Events (TE) N=5, VO2peak, MF and TH were
evaluated. V’O2peak was assessed during a GXT, MF was assessed based on the
International WB Federation classification scores (from 1 to 4.5, each 0.5). Athletes
answered a questionnaire to verify the amount of training hours per week. Based on
sVO2 we defined a value (sMET) specific of each sport (6 in FE, 7 in WT, 8 in WB, 10 in
TE, 11 in NS). A correlation matrix was created using age, body mass, height, body
mass index, relative exercise intensity (%sVO2/VO2peak), sMET, TH, MF and VO2peak.
A multiple regression analysis was used to build a model to predict V’O2peak based on
the correlation parameters: VO2peak = 6.07+2.47sMet +0.800TH+2.05MF. RESULTS
Prediction model was applied to a larger group of athletes (N=63) who underwent a
GXT. Loads were established using the following equation: P=0.06028* VO
2peak-4.829, in order to reach the peak value in approx 10 min. Mean VO2peak
measured during the GXT was equal to 39±9.2 ml*Kg-1 while the predicted value
through our equation was equal to 40±7.1 ml*Kg-1. CONCLUSIONS GXT is a key tool to
monitor the subject fitness status. Using the prediction formula we can establish the
VO2peak without the cardiopulmonary test and define the correct protocol to avoid an
early peripheral muscular fatigue.

Atrial adaptations in a soccer players professional team were evaluated in the
beginning of the season (T0), after anaerobic work out (T1) and after the
aerobic/anaerobic work out (T2).
Twenty-four healthy athletes (21.7±5.4 y; 70.3±6.6 Kg) were enrolled. Anthropometric
data, BP and HR, left atrial volume indexed by body surface (AVI), mitral functional
area, atrial ejection force, wave peak A and E, left ventricular mass (LVM) according to
Devereux’s formula (LMVI) were evaluated.
In phase T1 we observed: an increase of systolic BP (25%; P=0.004) and of pulse
pressure (9%; P=0.003) versus phase T0; a significant increase of PWd (0.95+0.10 cm
T1 vs 0.88+0.11 cm T0; P=0,000) and IVSd (1.09±0.09 cm T1 vs 0.93±0.11 cm T0 vs;
P<0.000) and a not significant increase of the LVTDd, which determined an increase of
the LMVI (115.70±12.76 g/m2 T1 vs 101.29±13.98 g/m2 T0; P=0.0001) and of stroke
work +8% in T1 and +23% in T2, P=0.010. In T1 we noted a significant increase of the
AVI (35.27±10,88 ml/m2 T1 vs 28.08±6.36 ml/m2 T0 P=0.058), mitral functional area
(4.13+0.44 cm2 T1 vs 3.91+0.49 cm2 T0; P=0.001) and atrial ejection force +43%
(P=0.001). There was an apparent worsening of the diastolic function (E/A 1.90+0.41
T1 vs 2.27+0.42 T0; P<0.0001), determined by an increase tardive ventricular filling
(wave A, 0.47+0.08 m/sec T1 vs 0.41+0.06 m/sec T0; P=0.003). In T2 we noted an
improvement of the diastolic function.
The cardiac changes during an agonistic season are dynamic and strictly correlated to
the different training ways.

To study the of some vascular parameters changes in different work-out modalities,
we evaluated the vascular adaptation in a professional soccer players team at the
beginning of the season (T0), after the predominantly anaerobic work out (T1) and
after the aerobic/anaerobic work out (T2).
Twenty-four healthy professional soccer players (age 21.7±5.4 y; weight 70.3±6.6 Kg)
were enrolled. Vascular function was evaluated by Pulse wave analysis (PWV), used to
generate a corresponding central waveform with a generalized transfer function and
RHI as measured with a semi-pletismographic method that, using the principle of
peripheral arterial tonometry. Brachial artery function as vascular strain (VS),
compliance (VC) and stiffness index β were evaluated too. A value of P<0.05 was
considered statistically significant and calculated with a standard statistical package.
In phase T1 we observed an increase of the systolic blood pressure (25%; P=0.004) and
of the pulse pressure (9%; P=0.003) versus phase T0 associated with the appearance of
vascular disfunction like demonstrated by the significant increase of the stiffness β
(0.35±0.13 T1 vs 0.26±0.08 T0; P=0.004), decrease of the VS (5.12+1.24% T1 vs
6.81+2.27% T0; P=0.044) and of the VC (46.4±12.5 mmHg -1/cm T1 vs 57.5±15.1
mmHg-1/cm T0; P=0.130). Always in phase T1 we noted, not significant, increase of the
PWV and a decrease of the RHI. In phase T2 we observed a return to the basal vascular
data.
These results demonstrate that in a professional sport team different training methods
induce different cardio-vascular adaptations, in particular the anaerobic/aerobic
work-out improves the vascular function.

Aim of the study. This study investigated the influence of physical activity levels on
lung function tests, exercise test and differences of preparticipation screening
(noncompetitive or competitive) in asthmatic children and controls. Methods. We
compared functional respiratory testing in 72 asthmatic children (mean age 11.4±2.6
years) and in 70 healthy subjects (mean age 12.5±2.5 years). Each group was divided in
2 subgroups using a physical activity level cut-off (< 2 or > 3 hours spent for week), that
way generating 4 study groups. We investigated type of preparticipation screening
(noncompetitive or competitive) and possible therapy. All subjects underwent a
maximal treadmill exercise test, determining maximal oxygen uptake by indirect
method, metabolic equivalents and exercise time, and performed spirometry pre and
post exercise. Results. No significant differences were found on spirometry between
asthmatic subjects and controls. Exercise testing showed, respectively for controls and
asthmatic subjects, metabolic equivalents 15.2±2.7; 13.0±2.7(p<0.0001); maximal
oxygen uptake 52.2±9.9; 44.6±8.7 ml/kg/min (p<0.0001); exercise time 12.1±2.2;
10.5±2.4 min(p<0.0001). Competitive screening preparticipation was performed in
45.7% of controls and 22.2% of asthmatic subjects, noncompetitive screening in 54.3%
of controls and 77.8% of asthmatic children(p<0.003). Conclusions. Physical activity
influence exercise parameters (exercise time, METS, VO2max) in asthmatic children.
An exercise prescription should be part of the treatment for all cases of asthma.

Heart rate recovery is predominantly modulated by reactivation of vagal tone; it has
been reported to be faster in children than in adults. Objective. To assess the
relationship between heart rate recovery and age in children and to evaluate the effect
of physical activity and Body Mass Index on heart rate response in the same subjects.
Methods. Heart rate recovery after cessation of a maximal treadmill exercise test
(Bruce protocol) was assessed in 142 healthy children (mean age 11.9±2.6 years) who
underwent an exercise test during their clinical evaluation, over 2 years period.
1-minute heart rate recovery was calculated for all subjects. Heart rate recovery
performance was analyzed depending on age, gender, physical activity level cut-off (<
or > 2 hours spent for week), Body Mass Index. Results. One-minute heart rate
recovery was correlated inversely with age (r: - 0.404; p<0.0001) and Body Mass Index
(r: - 0.381; p<0.001) in both boys and girls. The mean value of 1-minute heart rate
recovery was greater in boys (39.5±11.7) than in girls (32.0±10.5; p<0.001), but there
was no correlation with hours spent on physical activity per week. Conclusions.
One-minute heart rate recovery after exercise is attenuated with age in children and
slower in subjects with higher Body Mass Index. These data suggest that the greater
central cholinergic modulation of HR in children than in young adults may be
responsible in part for children's faster heart recovery after exercise; the body mass
index could affect central modulation of heart rate in children.

Spinal shrinkage is influenced by circadian variation and by the type and magnitude of
load. Unique requirements of field hockey include dribbling the ball and moving
quickly in a semi crouched posture
STUDY:
We analyzed a possible relation between spinal shrinkage and hydration status, water
loss and salt loss during exercise in twenty elite male junior hockey players, born in
1992 or 1993
METHODS:
All players were measured with a precision stadiometer by the same investigator.
Water loss was calculated by weight loss, urine loss and perspiration. Hydration
status was estimated by urinary osmolality.
RESULTS:
Mean length was before training 178.3 + 5.5 cm and was after training was 177.26 +
5.21 cm Shrinkage represented a mean of 0.58 + 0.51%.
Water loss during exercise represented 1.08 + 0.53 % ( 0.30 % - 2.60%). Sodium loss
was 33.50 + 26.06 mmol/training (4.79 - 85.95). Chloride loss was 35.30 + 33.03
mmol/training (4.26 - 127.84). Urinary osmolality was 868 + 170 mOsm/l (305 - 1028)
and 737 + 263 mOsm/l ( 315 - 1028 mOsm/l).
We did not find any correlation between spinal shrinkage and parameters of
hydration or salt loss.
DISCUSSION :
There is a considerable spinal shrinkage of 0.51 % during an intensive hockey
training. The peculiar postural requirements of field hockey cause physiological strain
and spinal loading in excess of orthodox motion. We could find no relation between
spinal shrinkage and hydration status before and after training, and between water,
sodium or chloride loss during training.

Ultrasound guided injections into the hip joint and in the bursa may be helpful in
sorting out the diagnosis. The purpose of this study is to retrospectively review our
injections about the hip to see if they are helpful in making the diagnosis of hip pain.
Our secondary goal is to determine how sensitive and specific the exam maneuvers are
for detecting labral tears and psoas bursitis.
Methods: Thirty three charts of patients receiving hip intra articular and/or psoas
bursa injections were reviewed. The clinical signs were noted pre and post injections
by visual analogue scales.
Results:
Number of psoas distinctly =12
⋅
Number of psoas dx with positive passive hip flexion (PHF) better with PI= 7 (58%)
⋅
Number of psoas dx with positive Scour’s better with PI=7 (58%)
⋅
Number of psoas dx with positive Impingement better with PI=11 (91.6%)
⋅
Number of psoas dx with positive Stinchfield better with PI=6 (50%)
⋅
Number of psoas dx with positive extension and internal rotation (EIR) better
with PI=7 (58%)
⋅
Number of IA distinctly=12
⋅
Number of IA dx with positive PHF better with IA=12 (100%)
⋅
Number of IA dx with positive Scour’s better with IA=8 (66%)
⋅
Number of IA dx with positive Impingement better with IA=12 (100%)
⋅
Number of injections separately into both the hip joint and psoas bursa and
sequentially scored=6
⋅
Number that dual injections clearly made the distinction=4
Conclusion: The data would suggest that ultrasound guided injections can help in
determining the etiology of hip pain. I is also suggested that the provocative tests for
both psoas and hip labral tears have a lot of crossover. The impingement test is highly
sensitive but very non specific.

Real-time sonoelastography is a new ultrasound-based technique able to assess tissue
elasticity. The aim of this study was to assess the performance of real-time
sonoelastography in depicting the Achilles tendons and the plantar fascia in healthy
volunteers and in painful athletes to compare sonoelastography findings with usual
conventional ultrasound findings.
After the first diagnostic ultrasound and comparative study of the feet, the study is
completed using sonoelastography and the images were evaluated by reviewers using
an experimentally
proven color grading system (blue as hard and red as soft, trough green-yellow color).
In patients healthy, the Achilles tendons and plantar fascia showed mainly a hard
structured pattern on sonoelastography (blue-green color).
In painful athletes in heel region, distinct softening (red color) corresponding to the
macroscopically alterations found on normal ultrasound study (thickening and
ipoecogenicity).
We found also a distinct softening (red color) also in normal ultrasound appearance
tendons dut painfully.
This suggests a subclinical changes in tendons structure that the normal study may not
view even if macroscopically change happens (tendinosis).
Sonoelastography of achilles calcaneal plantar axis disease may able to find a
preclinical macroscopically changes of tendons in painful athletes but is well related
with the ultrasonography imaging when the change are happened .
More investigation should be performed to prove the value of real-time

Aim: Given the biomechanical differences between overground and treadmill walking
[1, 2], it’s expected that muscle activity pattern be also different. So exercise training in
each of these two modes may have various loads on muscles. The aim of the study was
to survey differences between the patterns of core muscles contraction in these
situations.
Methods: Nineteen healthy male were selected via simple sampling. After initial
examination, they were asked to walk with self-selected speed overground. The same
pace set on treadmill while surface electromyography of core muscles recorded. To
specify each phase of gait cycle, foot switch was placed under heel and toe. The
analysis of difference was done by wilcoxon test.
Results: The time of core muscles contraction on treadmill and overground based on
the percentage of activation in each gait cycle weren’t statistically different. Muscle
activity amplitude in millivolt was as follows; Rectus Abdominis (Ground=3(1.6),
Treadmill=4.1(5.1),
Pvalue=0.005),
External
Oblique
(Ground=6.5(1.9),
Treadmill=8.2(5), Pvalue=0.136), Longissimus (Ground=10.2(4.8), Treadmill=14.5(10.4),
Pvalue=0.018) and Multifidus (Ground=11.4(7.6), Treadmill=17(7.9), Pvalue=0.044).
Conclusions: The timing of muscle activity is similar in both environments and core
muscles are active in most parts of the gait cycle. It seems that stabilizing role of core
muscles causes them to be active throughout the entire gait. Greater amplitude of
core muscles contraction on treadmill could mean that more motor units may be
involved during contraction and there is a greater load on the muscles. This can be
helpful in prescribing the proper mode of exercise for patients who have core muscle
weakness.

Objective:
There is a strong relationship between the ability to maintain balance and the
incidence of knee and ankle injuries. The sensorimotor system can be effectively
trained and the risk of sport injuries can be reduced. Therefore, we assessed the
athletes’ ability to maintain balance, involved in different types of hobby or
professional sport activities.
Design and methods:
We used Bretz-stabilometer to measure joint stability. Members of professional league
men’s and women’s basketball team, women’s handball and men’s swim team
participated in the study. Students of our University represented the group of hobby
athletes. The data were analyzed with either ANOVA or unpaired Student’s t-test,
using SPSS 19 software package.
Results:
We found no significant differences in the results of the different ball game players.
However, there is a significant difference comparing the professional and hobby
athletes’ joint stability. Although both groups consisted of professional athletes, a
significant difference was found between the ball game players and swimmers; the
swimmer’s results were found closer to hobby athletes’.
Discussion:
Based on these results, the professional ball players’ performance was found to be the
best, however, these athletes are subjected to the highest level of strain. Since
professional athletes form an easily defined target group, it is considerable to focus on
their primary prevention. In case of hobby athletes the secondary prevention is
suggested, since this population usually gets involved after suffering sport injuries. For
professional swimmers, an additional sport activity should be selected, providing
necessary safety for this secondary sport activity.

The accessory ossicles are common findings in foot radiography, sometimes causing
painful conditions. Os peroneum is an ossicle within the substance of peroneus longus
tendon near the cuboid bone, rarely causing painful lateral foot pain. We report a case
of 69-year-old female who suffered from lateral plantar foot pain for a month. Through
physical examination, radiography, ultrasound and magnetic resonance image, she was
diagnosed as painful os peroneum syndrome with os peroneum fracture and peroneus
longus tenosynovitis. She was referred to an orthopaedic surgeon and underwent an
operation. This article is aimed to emphasize that painful os peroneum syndrome
should be included in the differential diagnosis of lateral plantar foot pain and to
review the anatomy and pathophysiology of os peroneum.

According to Mansfield and Griffin (2000), mechanical impacts comprise vibration
levels dangerous to the human organism. Transient vibrations containing different
frequencies components occur frequently during judo throws when the athlete hit the
ground, in a variety of different throw techniques. When resonance occurs, the
vibration energy is absorbed throw the body, attenuated by the tissues and organs,
what increase the destructive power of vibration. This study aimed to analyze the
power density (PSD) spectrum of vibrations generated in different body portions of
different weight categories judoists during falls. Four black belt judoist, with at least 14
years of experience, participated in this study: three uke (one half-lightweight, one
half-middleweight and one half-heavyweight category) were thrown by a tori with 77
kg (half-middleweight category) performing ippon-seoi-nage technique. A triaxial
Brüel-Kjaer accelerometer was alternately fastened with straps on the uke wrist, hip
and ankle, and 10 throws were performed for each joint analyzed. Descriptive
statistics, ANOVA one way and Tukey test were applied, with p<0,05. The PSD analysis
showed that the greater energy concentration was establish between 17.57-31.25 Hz
on wrist, 1.95-9.76 Hz on hip, and 25.39-50.78 Hz on ankle. The local vibrations found
in this study contain the resonance frequencies of the specific body tissues and organs
investigated, cited in literature, what can be extremely dangerous to the judoist
organism during long term exposure.

Objective:
Chronic groin pain is an athletes frequent complain as they have to stop sport activity
for a long period of time.
The main causes of chronic groin pain are adductor longus tendinopathy, trasversalis
fascia disruption or ¨sport hernia¨, femoroacetabular impingement syndrome and
labral tears. According to current hypothesis, these injuries would be caused by
imbalances predisposing functional on a structure.
The aim of this paper is the systematic result of a multidisciplinary working group in
athletes with athletic pubalgia.
Design and Methods:
Retrospective analysis of 1450 patients in our specializing sports medicine center, in
the period 2004-2011. The patients were studied systematically by physical therapist,
orthopedic surgeons, abdominal wall surgeons and ultrasound medical specialist.
Results:
Of the 1450 patients evaluated the ultrasound was the method of choice for
confirming suspected lesions. Tendinopathies, which occurred in 802 patients (55,3%)
were treated initially with physical therapy successfully in 738 (92%) cases, 14 patients
required treatment with complete tenotomy of adductors (2%). Sports hernias were
diagnosed 592 (40,8%). All of them underwent preperitoneal transabdominal
laparoscopic hernioplasty. Ninety six percent returned to sports within 30 days of
surgery. Labral pathology was found as the main cause in 56 (3,8%) patients.
Conclusions:
Tendinopathies, sports hernia and labral pathology represent the most common
causes of chronic groin pain in athletes.
The multidisciplinary evaluation is essential for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Although the agreement in literature that mechanical impacts comprise vibration
levels dangerous to the organism, there are no criteria that elucidate the limits and the
risks of human exposure to transient vibrations during sports performance. Transient
vibrations occur frequently in judokas during damping falls (ukemi) of different throw
techniques. This study aimed to analyze the mechanicals impacts produced in different
body regions of judoists during judo falls cushioning. Four black belt judoist of different
categories, with at least 14 years of experience, participated in this study: three ukes
(one half-light, one half-middle and one half-heavy) were thrown by a tori with 77 kg
(half-middleweight) performing ippon-seoi-nage technique. A triaxial Brüel-Kjaer
accelerometer was alternately fastened with straps on the uke wrist, hip and ankle.
Descriptive statistics, ANOVA one way and Tukey test were applied, with p<0.05. The
greater impact magnitudes occurred on the vertical axis on the wrist (351 g) and ankle
(242 g), both for the half-middleweight athlete; the impact duration was larger (0.6s)
on the hip for all athletes on the vertical axis. According to Macaulay criterion, the
impact values founded represents severe injury risks on wrist and ankle regions and
moderate injury risk on judoists hip. On the other hand, this criterion does not
mention the number of impact events that the body can withstand during a specified
period of time, neither the minimum interval required between impact repetitions.
Consequently, initiatives should be taken to reduce chronic damages due to impact
during judo training and competitions.

Low-volume high-intensity intermittent training has been shown to produce
substantial improvements in aerobic exercise capacity and glycemic homeostasis. Thus,
this novel time-efficient training paradigm has been suggested to use as a strategy to
reduce metabolic risk factors in sedentary populations. However, the risk of sudden
death is higher during intensive exercise (Albert et al. 2000). Thus, assessment of the
cardiovascular and autonomic nervous system responses to this type of exercise is
necessary to facilitate informed exercise prescriptions. Eleven obese sedentary adults
(age: 25.3 ±4.8yr; BMI: 32.4 ± 3.9) performed a low-volume high-intensity intermittent
exercise bout consisted of four 'all-out' 30-s Wingate tests with 4 min of recovery. The
beat-to-beat heart rate was recorded, and thus the autonomic nervous activity was
assessed pre-exercise, immediately post-exercise and at 30-min intervals thereafter
within 180 min. Identical measures were obtained in a non-exercise condition,
separated by one week, based on a randomized crossover design. Exercise resulted in
decreased high-frequency component, increased low-frequency component, and
consequently an increase in the ratio of low-frequency to high-frequency component
compared with the non-exercise condition or pre-exercise. The effect lasted for up to
60 min post-exercise. We concluded that autonomic balance is shifted to a greater
sympathetic and less parasympathetic activation following such exercise. These results
indicate that supramaximal exercise poses significant stress to the autonomic nervous
system and that the risk of cardiac events may be increased during recovery of such
exercise, especially in at-risk populations.

Background: In the past years several studies have suggested myocardial damage after
extreme exercise due to increased post exercise levels of cardiac markers which return
to baseline levels within 24 hours. Recently, emphasizes the importance of the process
labeled as myocardial “stunning” caused by ischemia or coronary vasospasm which is
transient in nature and does not result in necrosis and permanent cellular damage.
This study was performed to test if this extremely strenuous sport is hazardous to
cardiovascular health of adolescent male water polo players. In order to perform this
we measured serum concentration of the early marker of myocardial ischemia
glycogen phosphorylase isoenzyme BB (GP-BB).
Methods: Total of 20 water polo players was studied. They were randomly divided in
two groups: exercise group and non-exercise served as a control group. GP-BB
concentration was measured at the following time points: baseline, 1, 30 and 60
minutes by ELISA technique.
Results: Increased GP-BB concentration had 40% of water polo players in 1 and 30
minutes post exercise, but only 10% one hour later. Obtained concentration 1 and 30
minutes following exercise significantly positively correlated (r=0.895;p<0.001) as well
as concentrations at 30 and 60 minutes (r=0.697; p<0.03).
Conclusion: Glycogen phosphorylase isoenzyme BB could be a good marker of
myocardial stunning caused by ischemia or coronary vasospasm which is transient in
nature and does not result in necrosis and permanent cellular damage in water polo
players.

Introduction: Interval training is described as repeated bouts of high-intensity exercise
of variable length interspersed with recovery periods (light exercise or rest) (1). This
study examined the influence of interval training on serum levels of leptin, cortisol,
testosterone, growth hormone and insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) in young
overweight men.
Materials and Methods: 18 sedentary overweight men (BMI=31.2 3.33 Kg/m2, mean
aged 20.3) in two experimental and control groups participated in 16 weeks of
moderate to high intensity interval training (8-10 × 4 minutes sets of running at
60-90% of Reserve Heart Rate and 2 minutes rest interval at 40-50% of Reserve Heart
Rate), three days per week. Serum levels of leptin, cortisol, testosterone, insulin,
growth hormone and HOMA-IR, were measured before and 48 hours after last training
session.
Results: Interval training resulted in decreases in levels of leptin (P=0.007) and
anthropometric indices (P<0.05); and testosterone and cortisol levels increased
following interval training (P<0/05). However, any significant correlation did not exist
between pre and post training levels of leptin and none of anthropometric indices
assessed (P>0.05).
Conclusion: Moderate to high intensity interval training induces fat loss by increasing
exercise and post training fat oxidation and decreasing appetite via facilitating the
release of corticotrophin releasing factor (CRF), a potent anorectic peptide (1).
Decreases in body fat stores and improvement of adipocyte function modulate leptin
secretion, insulin resistance and inflammation.

Although commonly disregarded, psychiatric symptoms are thought to be a crucial
predictor of rehabilitation outcome. We aimed to evaluate and follow the depression
and anxiety symptoms and explore any relationship with functional improvement in
postoperative Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury patients.
38 (35 male, 3 female) postoperative ACL injury patients participated in this study who
admitted to Sports Medicine Department for postoperative rehabilitation program. All
the patients were evaluated twice by Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale (LKSS) and Hospital
Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) at; the admission and the end of the 6th week of
rehabilitation, respectively.
The change in total LKSS scores from the time of admission (56.4±20.2) to the end of
the 6th week (78.7±13.8) were significant (t=-8.21, P<0.001). Neither the
HADS-depression nor the HADS-anxiety scores were above the cut off values in the two
assessments. Nevertheless we found a significant difference in HADS-anxiety scores
between the time of admission (6.21±3.50) and at 6th week (5.33±3.33) (t=2.02,
P=0.05). However, HADS-depression scores were not statistically different between the
two evaluations (5.95±3.68 and 5.35±3.50 at admission and the 6th week respectively,
t=1.07, P=0,29). The amount of change between the two LKSS and HADS-anxiety
assessments were negatively correlated (r=-0.49, P=0.002).
Contrary to what we expected, the subjects were not at risk for depression or anxiety
both on admission time and at 6th week of rehabilitation. However, the anxiety
symptoms declined during rehabilitation which was correlated with the functional
improvement. Effective rehabilitation program without additional psychiatric care
alleviates mild levels of anxiety.

Long rehabilitation after arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction
represents big problem for mainly due to a slow process of ligamentization. The
purpose of the study was to determine if the use of platelet gel (PG) accelerates graft
revascularisation after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, and whether it
has any morphological and clinical relevance for the operation outcome.
Platelet gel was produced from the platelet rich plasma (PRPin a standard procedure.
Fifty patients were included, 25 treated with PRP and 25 in a control group. We
quantitatively evaluated the process of revascularization in the zone of the
osteoligamentous interface in the bone tunnels and in the intra-articular part of the
graft. Contrast enhanced MRI studies were carried out at 4-6, 10-12 and 25-27 weeks
post-surgery.
Patients treated with PG demonstrated a significantly higher level of vascularization in
the osteoligamentous interface at the first control. At the second control, the level of
vascularisation decreased in the PG group and increased in the control group. In the
intra-articular part of the graft we found minimal levels of revascularization but no
differences among the groups. At third control the level of vascularisation decreased in
both groups. The amount of new sclerotic bone formation was significantly higher in
group treated with PRP as well as the anteroposterior knee stability.
The PG enhances early revascularization of the graft in the zone of the
osteoligamentous interface after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
Enhancement of this early postoperative biological process is demonstrated in late
morphological and clinical manifestations.

Ice sports requires a particular combination of postural control of the body and
visual control of the environment in order to optimize dynamic equilibrium control at
high velocity on a slippery surface. Tthe objective is to investigate the Vestibular
System (VS) controls posture, dynamic head stabilization and dynamic visual field
stabilization ice athletes.
VS control on posture and head stabilization was investigated in ice hockey players
comparing elite hockey players with amateur players through 3 tests: posturographic
sensory organization test, head-to-trunk stabilization during stance and stepping .
The effect of specialized trainings on postural control adaptation as happens in ballet
group dancers, was investigated through posturography in 18 Senior synchronized
skaters, a form of figure skating in which a team skate together, from the Italian
National Skating Team comparing them with a control group of physically fit
individuals not specialized in balance training.
Vestibule-ocular reflexes involved in visual field stabilization were investigated in 25
athletes from the Italian National Figure Skating Team ( 8 dancers, 13 singles and 4
pairs) by bitemporal DC-coupled electro-oculography.
Both Postural control and Vestibule-ocular adaptation were investigated also under
the point of view of the age and further 23 athletes from the Junior Italian National
Figure Skating Team were investigated: 17 synchro; 8 dancers, 15 singles.
Results support the idea that ice-sports, under VS point of view,
are strongly
adaptative and mainly disclipine-dependent
rather than age-dependent. In
particular, we state that vestibular adaptation represents a “dynamic internal
model” of movement control.

OBJECTIVE
The strength effectiveness of the muscle strength is very important to stabilization
during motion. The effectiveness of the muscle strength parameters is determined as
measurement of the peak torque/body weight ratio, the time to peak torque, and time
peak torque held. The aim of this study was to evaluate the strength effectiveness of
internal tibial rotation after the use of semitendinosus and gracilis tendons for anterior
cruciate ligament reconstruction.
DESIGN AND METHOD
15 recreational athletes with unilateral anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, at
least one years previously, participated in this study, aged between 25 and 40 years
(mean age 34±6 years). In an attempt to minimize unwanted subtalar joint motion,
subjects were immobilized using an ankle brace. Participants were tested at angular
velocities of 60 deg/sec and 180 deg/sec at knee flexion angle of 90 degrees.
RESULTS
The peak torque/body weight ratio, the time to peak torque, and time peak torque
held measurements for internal tibial rotation of the operative limb and non operative
limb were found to be 0.2±0.06 Nm, 0.2±0.08 Nm; 0.5±0.1 second, 0.4±0.04 second;
0.02±0.01 second, 0.04±0.02 second at 60 deg/sec and 0.16±0.06 Nm, 0.2±0.06 Nm;
0.3±0.07 second, 0.25±0.04 second; 0.01±0.005 second, 0.02±0.014 second at 180
deg/sec respectively. The strength effectiveness parameters for internal tibial rotation
of the operative limb at 60 and 180 deg/sec were statistically different compared to
the non-operated limb p<0.01)
CONCLUSIONS
This study has shown that the strength effectiveness of internal tibial rotation is
weaker after the use of semitendinosus and gracilis tendons for anterior cruciate
ligament reconstruction.

OBJECTIVE Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection is an independent
cardiovascular (CV) risk factor that can be reduced by regular physical activity (PA).
Exercise is sought as a tool to minimize the disability associated with HIV disease,
combat side effects from highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), improve
strength, endurance, body composition and psychological status. The study, carried
out on a population of physically active HIV+ subjects with no AIDS symptoms, aims at
evaluating the effects of regular PA on CV risk associated with HIV infection. METHODS
Thirty-three HIV+ subjects were evaluated during the past 12 months to assess their
health status and progression of infection. The visit included an interview with daily
and physical activity collection (3 day diary), lean and fat body mass (FBM) evaluation
through skinfold measurement (Jackson-Pollock method), rest energy expenditure
(REE) measurement (COSMED FitMate Med, Rome, Italy) and Rockport Fitness Walking
Test. Moreover, subject underwent a dietary evaluation with daily energy intake
measurement and a check for the progress of the disease. RESULTS Among the
subjects two groups were formed with same age and sex, considering the CD4+ count
with a cut-off of 500 as a clinical biomarker. Age was equal to 43±8,3 in subjects with a
high lymphocyte CD4+ count (HL) and 49±10,5 in those with a low count (LL). Daily REE
was equal to 77,8±34,55 Kjoule·kg in HL and 95,7±30,81 Kjoule·kg in LL. DEE was
146±35,6 Kjoule·kg and 144±28,2 Kjoule·kg in HL and LL respectively. VO2peak was
34,9±7,48 ml·kg·min-1 in HL and 36,1±6,99 ml·kg·min-1 in LL. FBM% was 17±5,4% and
17±6,3 in HL and LL respectively. CONCLUSIONS Despite the progression of the disease
no significant differences are shown between the two groups confirming that physical
activity can minimize the disability associated with the infection. The CV risk can
therefore be reduced by an increase in VO2peak and energy expenditure.

Underwater walking on non-motorized treadmill is one of the most popular aquatic
fitness activity, but little data is available about its metabolic demands.
15 healthy women (age 43±3.7y, height 1.64±0.05m, weight 54±6.6kg, BMI
22.1±2.3kg/m-2, fat mass 25.4±3.4%) performed an incremental underwater walking
exercise (100, 110, 120, 130 step per minute) on a non-motorized treadmill (Aqquatix
S.r.l., Limena, Italy) at 2 different water heights (iliac crest - xiphoid process). Water
heights and exercise intensities were chosen according to the most used among this
fitness classes. A dry-land incremental exercise test to exhaustion was also performed
on a motorized treadmill. Breath-by-breath oxygen consumption (V'O2) and heart rate
(HR) were recorded continuously throughout both the underwater and the dry-land
exercises. Compared to dry-land maximal V'O2 and maximal HR, underwater V'O2 and
HR ranged from 64% to 85% and from 71% to 90%, respectively. Both relative intensity
ranges fall within the 'moderate' or 'vigorous' intensity described in the current
guidelines of the American College of Sports Medicine. Same ranges are also advised to
the population in order to improve physical fitness status by several internationally
recognized organization in the field of exercise sciences. Water is a 'low impact'
environment of exercise providing non-weight-bearing conditions that makes exercise
suitable for both pathologic and healthy subjects. This indubitable advantage plus
the results obtained in this study provide the evidence for prescribing underwater
walking exercise on non-motorized treadmills to both healthy and frailty subjects that
could benefit exercising at moderate to vigorous intensities.

In this case report we evaluate the effect of exercise on islet function and insulin
resistance in a 46 years old islet transplant recipient under intense exercise regimen
(fireman + voluntary exercise).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospective evaluation using exercise reports, body
composition, Mixed Meal Tolerance Test, HOMA score and triglycerides was done.
RESULTS: Subject received three islet infusions at 10/2001, 11/2001 and 05/2003.
He remained off insulin for 470 days after 2nd infusion and 1722 days after 3rd. During
follow up physical activity was more than 6h/day including job and voluntary exercise.
The estimated energy expenditure was 5033±155Kcal/day. Body composition,
immunosuppressive and triglyceride remained stable. In 2002, 2006, 2011 the
Stimulation index was 0.59±0.04, 0.73±0.06 (P<0.5) and 0.65±0.05(NS).
C-peptide/glucose ratio was 1.2±0.2, 1.9±1.2 and 1.36±0.3 (NS). HbA1c was 6.1±0.2,
6.2±.3 and 6.9±0.1 (P<0.05). In 2006 and 2011 HOMA%IR was 0.9±0.2 and 3.8±0.6
(P<0.05), HOMA%S was 116±27 and 26±4 (P<0.05), HOMA%β was 616±73 and
565±134(NS).
CONCLUSION: Despite stable graft function, active life style and athletic body
composition, the insulin resistance has increased. This might be a consequence of
progressive undetectable loss of graft function and/or direct side effect of the
immunosuppression therapy. The benefits of exercise cannot be discarded, since the
prolonged graft survival (9 years), insulin independence(5 years) and current low dose
of insulin(12u/day) were probably achieved by the combination of the treatment +
healthy habits. However exercise in this case, was not able to prevent completely the
progressive insulin resistance. Insights about the mechanism responsible for
progression of insulin resistance are needed.

Conclusions: The benefits of being physically active far outweigh any negative aspect
that may arise. As a growing segment of the population where the prevalence of
physical inactivity is high, promoting an active lifestyle among the elderly is very
important.

Objective: To describe a ultrasonography-guided technique for cubital tunnel injection.
Design & Method: In the 12 elbows from 6 adult cadavers, ulnar nerves were scanned,
and the cross-sectional areas of the ulnar nerves, cubital tunnel inlets and outlets were
measured by using ultrasonography. All the elbows were dissected after
ultrasonography-guided dye injection at the inlet of the cubital tunnel. The dissectors
evaluated the spread of dye and the coloration of the nerve and remeasured the
cross-sectional areas of the cubital tunnel inlets and outlets.
Results: After real-time visualization of ultrasonography-guided injection, the ulnar
nerves were seperated from the medial groove for the ulnar nerve. All the ulnar nerves
of the cadavers were successfully colored with the dye, from inlet to oulet of the
cubital tunnel. The post-injection cross-sectional areas were significantly larger than
the pre-injection cross-sectional areas. No significant differences were detected in the
post-injection cross-sectional areas of the cubital tunnel outlet and the ulnar nerve
compared with that of pre-injection.
Conclusions: Clinicians should consider real-time visualization of ultrasonography for
guided injection around the ulnar nerve at the inlet of the cubital tunnel.

Background: With its multiple components, metabolic syndrome is a serious problem
that adversely affects the quality of life. Exercise programs have proven to be quite
effective alternatives to drug treatments with regard to preventive medicine.
Objective: We investigated the effects of personal exercises that do not require a
professional using body fat components and respiratory parameters and OMNI scale.
Methods: Adult 12 males performed aerobic exercise with an intensity ranging
between easy and somewhat hard on OMNI scale for 12 weeks. Body fat components
parameters, including weight, BMI, FAT %, free fat mass, visceral fat rate and
respiratory parameters including Fev1, Fvc, Pef1, Mvv, VC levels before and after
exercise were recorded. Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test were used to examine the
relationships between parameters in dependent groups.
Results: There were significant differences in all body fat components parameters
except free fat mass (p<0.01). Respiratory parameters showed similar significant
changes (p<0.01).
Conclusion: Metabolic syndrome is a result of modern day and presents itself with
problems that are costly and difficult to correct. Exercise programs serve not only as
alternatives to treatment with medications but also as part of preventive medicine.
The results of this study suggest that the most significant handicaps of such programs,
namely the need for a professional instructor or trainer and the perceived exertion
issue, can be overcome by using the OMNI scale. Performing the most comfortable
personal exercise program for him/herself will enable the person to get rid of improve

Worldwide the woman median age at menopause is 50yy. Although for many women
menopause is asymptomatic, many others experience symptoms that considerably
affect their quality of life. Nowadays, in Western countries, women who reach
menopause have a life expectancy of nearly 30 more years, with a high probability of
developing various chronic diseases. Among the endocrino-metabolic changes
occurring in menopause, insulin resistance is one of the most relevant. Regular
physical exercise has been shown to be an essential milestone in insulin resistance
treatment and weight control. Furthermore, there are clear scientific evidences
proving the benefit of regular physical activity on both the primary and secondary
prevention of many diseases. Even if menopausal women are individuals in the peak of
their active life (work, household chores, care of family), physicians and women need
to clearly understand that menopause represents the moment to change lifestyle.
Exercise has to be considered as a medicine in menopause and it has to be prescribed
exactly as a therapy, with indications, contraindications, dosage and administration,
warning and precautions, risk of over dosage, and monitoring of compliance. This
important and indispensable goal can be achieved with a coalition of different experts
and a differentiate plan of action. A workgroup of several specialists has been created
with the objectives to increase knowledge about the effect of physical activity in
menopause, to instruct physicians about the prescription of exercise and to inform
population about the benefits of physical activity in order to counteract the
endocrine-metabolic changes due to menopause.

OBJECTIVE :The aim of the study is to show the complex structure of
temporomandibular joint, to show one of the reasons which might cause TM
disfunction as well as to show the possibilities and outcome of the physical therapy
that can reduce the subjective symptoms and improve functional status.
MATERIAL/METHODS:Case study:
Patient, 25 years old, suffered from TM joint subluxation, during the basketball training
got hit in hos jaw by the elbow of his teammate.
After diagnosis, treatment implied the reposition, immobilization of joint for 48 hours,
pureed food through a straw and application of physical proceedings afterwards and
local infiltration of glucocorticoids.
During the 6 months period of treatment we observed the following parameters: pain
by VAS (0-10cm). Size of maximal mouth opening was measured in cm (the distance
between the upper and lower teeth) for 4 weeks. The quality of chewing was observed
every 4 weeks at the control examination of the patient by the answers to the given
questions, the ability of chewing the soft, semisolid and solid food.
RESULTS : After 6 months of treatment pain in the joint at the phase of rest was
significantly reduced (p<0,025), there was no statistically significant reduction in pain
when chewing, the size of maximal mouth opening was increased (p<0.002), while
analyzing the answers to the solid food chewing ability was no statistically significant
improvement.
CONCLUSION: The physicl activities have been limited by the pain intensity thus

Background: Healthy behaviors including non-smoking, healthy alcohol consumption,
and regular exercise were known to be able to slow down the progression of
atherosclerosis. We designed a study to prove the effect of healthy behaviors on the
development of atherosclerosis, represented with the ‘cardio-ankle vascular stiffness
index (CAVI)’, which is a well-known marker of atherosclerosis.
Methods: Target population consisted of 45-59 years old men, who don’t have
documented diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, or any other vascular diseases
including stroke, coronary artery disease, and peripheral artery disease. We analyzed
the correlation between the mean CAVI and the healthy behavior score. Healthy
behavior score was defined as a sum of the following three component: 1) non-smoker
or ex-smoker = 1, current smoker = 0; 2) don’t drink alcohol, or drink less than twice in
a week = 1, drink more than twice a week = 0; 3) exercise more than 120 minutes a
week regularly = 1, exercise less than 120 minutes a week = 0.
Results: 111 men were included in the analysis. Mean CAVI was correlated with the
healthy behavior score negatively (Spearman’s rho = -0.210, p = 0.027). In the
non-smokers and healthy drinkers, subjects who exercise regularly had lower mean
CAVI than the subjects who don’t exercise (p = 0.031).
Conclusion: Higher healthy behavior score seem to correlate with lower CAVI, which
means less stiff artery. Non-smoking, healthy drinking, and regular exercise can help
slow down the development of atherosclerosis even in apparently healthy subjects.

AIM OF THE STUDY. To estimate the energy expenditure (EE) and the intensity of
physical activity (PA) during different phases of a training session (TS) in a group of
deconditioned obese pre-diabetic individuals.
MATERIAL AND METHODS. A sample of 10 obese (class 1) pre-diabetic women
(56.3±6.7 years; Body Mass Index, 33.1±2.0 kg/m2) completed the acute training
protocol (TP) as follows: 20 minutes (min) of walking (W) activity (50%HRmax), 7 min
of flexibility exercise (FE) and 15 min of Pilates Circuit Training (PCT) on mat. The PCT
was composed by 10 sets of Pilates exercises (3 static and 7 dynamic sets performed
for 15 seconds) separated by 1 min of W (30%HRmax). The EE (kcal) and the intensity
of PA (METs) were estimated during the different phases using the SenseWear Pro
Armband (SWA).
RESULTS. The total EE was 291.2±75.4 kcal and the intensity of PA during the TS ranged
from light (2 to 3 METs) for FE to vigorous (6 to 9 METs) for W. The PA during the PCT
phase was moderate for 87% of its time, while the W activity was vigorous for the 37%
of its time. Among all the TS phases, the W (20.5±0.5 min; 5.6±0.8 METs; 153.8±45.7
kcal) and the PCT (15.1 min; 4.1±0.6 METs; 84.9±25.1 kcal) showed the highest MET
and EE values.
CONCLUSION. The adopted TP with Pilates exercises seems to be adequate to produce
good training load, in line with the ACSM’s Guideline.

Body
Objective
This study aimed to determine the acute effects of a community exercise session on
blood pressure of young adult women.
Design and method
Study´s sample comprised 23 women (age 31,57 ± 7,87 years; body mass index 23,35 ±
4,67 kg/m²; waist circumference 80,26 ± 8,16 cm; clinical systolic blood pressure
109,23 ± 12,02 mmHg; clinical diastolic blood pressure 71,21 ± 9,82 mmHg) that
underwent in two experimental conditions (exercise and control) with a subsequent
blood pressure monitoring for 30 minutes divided in 3 periods of 10 minutes. The
exercise session has taken 50 minutes and comprised 4 phases: warm up (5 minutes),
cardiovascular (30 minutes), muscular strength and endurance (10 minutes) and cool
down / flexibility (5 minutes).
Results
A Student’s t test for paired samples identified significant differences in variation of
systolic blood pressure from baseline and 10 (-10,83 ± 9,25 vs. -2,61 ± 11,06 mmHg),
20 (-11,26 ± 9,05 vs. -3,04 ± 11,25 mmHg) and 30 (-10,87 ± 9,02 vs. -0,48 ± 13,50
mmHg) minutes of recovery, between the two experimental conditions (exercise and
control).
Conclusions
The results of this study suggest that a community exercise session that combines
various forms of exercise in order to improve several aspects of physical fitness, was
effective in acutely reduce resting blood pressure levels in normotensive young adult
women. This type of exercise sessions seem to have sufficient intensity to trigger
benefits in cardiovascular health and its regular practice may have an important role in
the prevention of hypertension and in health promotion.

Body
Objective
This study aimed to determine the acute effect of a single session of aerobic exercise
on ambulatory blood pressure in institutionalized and sedentary elderly.
Design and method
Eight elderly males, institutionalized and sedentary, were selected to undergo two
ambulatory blood pressure monitoring for a period of 8h. One of the monitoring was
accomplished after a session of aerobic exercise and the other after a control session
of rest. Exercise session was constituted by two periods of 10 minutes of walking on
treadmill at moderate intensity (40 to 59% of heart rate reserve). These two periods
were interspersed with 5 minutes recovery, preceded by a 5-minute specific warm-up
and followed by a cool down of 5 minutes, on a total of 35 minutes per session.
Results
Significant differences were not found in the values of systolic blood pressure (118 ±
10 vs. 119 ± 13 mmHg), diastolic blood pressure (73 ± 6 vs. 73 ± 8 mmHg) and mean
arterial pressure (88 ± 6 vs. 88 ± 9 mmHg) during the 8 hours of ambulatory
recording between the two experimental conditions (control vs. exercise). The analysis
of individual data revealed a great variability in ambulatory blood pressure response to
an aerobic exercise session.
Conclusions
Aerobic exercise can be safely applied in institutionalized and sedentary elderly.
However, a single session of exercise was not effective to induce a decrease in
ambulatory blood pressure values of normotensive subjects. There seems to be an
individual variability in ambulatory blood pressure response to a single bout of aerobic
exercise.

AIMS: The main aim was to review scientific reports on juvenile idiopathic arthritis
involving physical activity/exercise as a tool for preventing/ treating symptoms of the
disease. The main questions were: what are the type of physical activities and
characteristics of respective programs for JIA? Are there differences on type of physical
activities intervention outcomes?
DESIGN AND METHODS: Using a systematic review approach, we searched on the main
international libraries (Journals Ovid Full Text, Scopus, Science Direct, Web of Science,
Springer Link, JAMA, Wiley Online Library, SportDiscus and Medline) using the
“juvenile idiopathic arthritis” combined with “physical activity” and/ or “physical
exercise” terms, between 2001 and 2011. Abstracts were visually scanned searching
for interventional studies.
RESULTS: From the 422 found articles, only 17 attended the selection criterion. Aquatic
fitness, aerobic-anaerobic training, resistance and power, and internet-based program
were the main activities. All studies reported efficiency of their intervention programs,
but most of them were individualized and emphasized only one type of activity.
CONCLUSIONS: Although it seems that any kind of physical activity may contribute to
improve disease outcomes, we discuss these results and advocate that physical
activities for children with JIA must be multilateral, aiming inclusive for psychosocial
benefits. Keeping appropriate specificity such as low impact games and safety
measure, children with JIA must be, as much as possible, included in regular physical
education (PE). This may be possible if lessons are planned on the basis of Adapted
Physical Activities principles.

Aims: We aimed to test a motor activities program for overweight and obese children
based on their preferences and needs. The program goal was to raise their health
related quality of life based on active living rather than weight control.
Design and methods: Eleven overweight, 8-16 years old children were involved in a
motor activity program planned according to their preferences and choices of motor
activities, combined with some other activities based on negotiation of our
suggestions. One hour long physical education sessions occurred twice a week,
including sports, indoor and outdoor recreational games, dance, as well as monthly
meetings. Health related quality of life variables, using parents as a proxy, were the
outcomes measures, but BMI and other anthropometric measures were also
calculated. This is a longitudinal study.
Results: Partial results indicated that parents reported relevant improvement on
variables such as general health, participation, emotional and motor functioning as
well as on autonomy. Changes on BMI were not significant.
Conclusions: We discuss key impacts of a well oriented physical activity program on
quality of life. We argue that this may be a sustaining factor for short and long term
changes on obesogenic habits. Also that for child health and development weight
control may contribute to improve disease outcomes but should not be the focus of
programs. Improvement on the design includes a randomised control trial, increasing
the sample, following up drop off cases, including a quality of life instrument for
children.

Objective
It has been shown that skeletal muscle strength of COPD patients is reduced and
eccentric contraction resulted greater compared to control subjects, when normalized
for lean body mass. The aim of the study is to access if eccentric and concentric peaks
torque are correlated with disease severity.
Design and method
Thirty-four males with COPD (mean FEV1=66.9±19.1% of predicted and
FEV1/FVC=55.4±14.1% of predicted, age 66.35±4.6 years, lean body mass at DXA
55.54±9.55 Kg) performed an isokinetic concentric and eccentric torque of the knee
extensors on dynamometer at 30 and 210 deg/s. Pearson coefficient was used to
detect correlation between independent and dependent variables.
Results
Both concentric and eccentric peak torque at 30 deg/s were correlated with FEV1
(0.470 p<0.01; 0.391 p<0.05) and FEV1/FVC (0.518 p<0.01; 0.424 p<0.05). Same results
were observed at 210 deg/s: both concentric and eccentric peak torque were
correlated with FEV1 (0.380 p<0.05 and 0.391 p<0.05) and FEV1/FVC (0.409 p<0.05
and 0.360 p<0.05). The ratio between eccentric and concentric peak torque was
significantly correlated with FEV1 (-0.366 p<0.05) and FEV1/FVC (-0.436 p<0.05).
Conclusions
Our results confirm that muscle strength in COPD is correlated with severity disease
both in concentric and eccentric torque at different angular velocities. Moreover, the
eccentric peak torque showed less decrease than concentric one. Eccentric contraction
is characterized by unique neural mechanisms, involving fast twitch motor units. Also,
it has been shown that COPD hypoxemic condition leads fiber type shift towards fast
twitch fibers. In conclusion, COPD patients seem to develop favorable profile to
minimize strength loss.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of personalized feedback on
physical activity pattern alone or together with peer support in promoting and
maintaining physical activity.
Designs and methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted among sedentary
adults aged 60 years and above with type 2 diabetes attending a primary health care
clinic in Malaysia. A total of 69 participants were randomly allocated into 3 groups (23
in each group) for a 12-week intervention with a follow-up at 24 and 36 weeks to
assess adherence. Group 1 is the control receiving usual care. Group 2 received
personalized feedback on physical activity pattern and usual care. The participants in
Group 3 received usual care, personalized feedback and peer support. A peer mentor
has diabetes and provided social support to the participants. The primary outcome is
pedometer-determined physical activity. The cardio respitory fitness, balance,
glycosylated hemoglobin, cardiovascular risk factors, health related quality of life,
general well-being, social support, and self-efficacy for exercise are the secondary
measures.
Results: At enrollment, there were no difference between the three groups except
feedback group had higher cardio respiratory fitness than the controls. Preliminary
results showed intervention groups had higher levels of physical activity than the
control group.
Conclusion: The outcomes of this study will be used to inform the development of
physical activity interventions for older people in primary care and community
settings.

Objective - Physical training is strongly associated with wide-ranging health benefits as well as
overall reduced risk in all-cause mortality. This indicates that training-induced physiological
adaptations may also influence the host response and outcome in severe infectious diseases.
Therefore, we investigated the effect of 6 weeks endurance training on the host response and
mortality rate in an experimental model of polymicrobial sepsis in mice.
Design and Methods - C57BL/6N mice were either trained for 6 weeks on a motorized treadmill
and by voluntary wheel running or housed normally. Polymicrobial sepsis was induced by
intraperitoneal injection of a human faeces suspension. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was
performed for up to 192 hours. Blood and organ samples from mice were collected at baseline
and after sepsis induction. To investigate the host response during sepsis we used different
methods and we measured several parameters for example cytokines, oxidative stress markers,
and bacterial organ load as well as plasma metabolic changes. Organ morphology and damage
was characterized by immunohistological staining.
Results - Physical training improved the survival rate in sepsis. Cytokine concentrations and
several parameters reflecting organ damage were reduced in trained mice. Renal tubular injury
was attenuated in trained compared to untrained mice. Metabolomic measurements revealed
different inflammatory metabolic clusters between both groups.
Conclusions - Physical training improves survival rate after severe infection by modulating the
inflammatory response and attenuating the severity of organ injury in sepsis. These observations
offer prospects for further research on the relationship between physical performance and
outcome in severe infectious diseases.

The aim of our study was to research the effect of physical exercise intervention on
lipid profile and arterial stiffness at young subjects diagnosed with obesity. Material
and Methods. This research has been developed during 24 weeks and included 30
subjects with obesity (BMI=33±2.1), aged between 20-23 years (22±2.4years).
Following the medical screening to rule out any conditions that might have precluded
their participation, all subjects provided written informed consent. The subjects were
instructed to maintain their accustomed dietary habits throughout the research. All
subjects performed three daily sessions of maximal exercise (10 minutes of exercise, at
85-100%MHR intensity). Each exercise session was preceded by 3 minutes of warm up
at 60-70% MRH. Results. After 25 weeks, the parameters value have shown significant
improvements for all anthropometric and biochemical results. The statistical
significance of parameters variation was: p=0.001 for the body weight, p=0.01 for
body mass index, p=0.05 for waist circumference. P value was <0.001 for serum total
cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and <0.05 for serum triglycerides. All
investigated parameters showed significant evolution of arterial stiffness: p<0.05 for
Diastolic Blood Pressure, Pulse Wave Velocity in the aorta and Systolic Blood Pressure
in central aorta from emerging; p<0,001 for Augmentation Index and Systolic Blood
Pressure. Conclusion. The results confirm that there is a major effect of daily multiple

Object: Aging caused the decrease of the number and cross-sectional area of both type
I and especially type II muscle fibers. So the loss of stimulation by postural muscles,
may lead to bone loss, decrease of balance, and limitation of daily activities and quality
of life. The current investigation was done to determine the effect of short-term site
specific resistance training to promote bone formation and semi- dynamic balance in
postmenopausal women with osteoporosis (OP).
Design and Method: Twenty two volunteer postmenopausal women with OP were
randomly divided into two groups: resistance training (RT), and control. RT consisted of
18 sessions of performing trunk, upper and lower body resistance exercises that
progressed during 6 weeks from 50% to 85% 1RM. Body composition, bone-specific
alkaline phosphatase (BALP), total alkaline phosphatase (tALP), and semi-dynamic
balance (total stability index, TSI) were measured before and after the 6-week exercise
program.
Results: Fat mass decreased significantly (p=0.00) but fat-free mass changes was not
significant in RT versus control group. BALP and tALP increased significantly in RT
group. After 6 weeks of RT, TSI improved significantly in the exercise group.
Conclusion: Results showed that the resistive exercise program stimulates bone
synthesis and improving balance status on semi-dynamic condition in postmenopausal
women with OP but, it seems that 6 week of doing RT is not enough for altering the
fat-free mass.
Key words: postmenopausal osteoporosis; resistance training; BALP; total ALP;

Introduction: In times of energy demand, when there is an increase in NAD+/NADH
ratio, SIRT1 expression is activated. SIRT1 protects against neurodegeneration and
induces neurogenesis. Flavonoid quercetin increases SIRT1 expression in brain. We
aimed to analyze the effect of quercetin on SIRT1 mRNA expression in the brain of
trained rats.
Methods: Three-weeks-old male rats were classified as: quercetin+training (n=9),
placebo+training (n=8), quercetin+sedentary (n=8), placebo+sedentary (n=8). Exercise
was conducted 5 days a week for 6 weeks in a rodent treadmill at a constant speed of
44cm/s with a 10% inclination. The first two days rats were ran during 20 minutes per
day. Resistance training duration was increased by 5 min every two days. Until last
week animals were required to run for a full 80min. Quercetin (25mg/kg on
alternative days) was administered via gavage diluted in methylcellulose, placebo
groups were also daily handled but they received only methylcellulose. Forty-eight
hours after any exercise brain was removed and SIRT1 gene expression (RT-PCR) was
performed.
Results: Sedentary quercetin groups increased SIRT1 brain expression (P<0.001).
However, trained quercetin groups showed that this flavonoid diminished SIRT1
expression (P<0.01). Placebo trained groups showed an increase in SIRT1 (P<0.001).
Conclusion: Quercetin supplementation hampers training-induced SIRT1 expression in
brain. These results could be due to the antioxidant effect of quercetin. Antioxidants
are known to decrease PGC-1α, the main SIRT1 downstream target. Future research
must focus on quercetin effects on neurodegenerative diseases and the role of
exercise.

Introduction: PGC-1α is a transcriptional coactivator, which has been shown to be a
master regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis and cellular energy metabolism.
Flavonoid quercetin increases PGC-1α and mitochondrial biogenesis in brain. We
aimed to analyze the effect of quercetin supplementation during training on brain
PGC-1α mRNA expression.
Methods: Three-weeks-old male rats were classified as: quercetin+training (n=9),
placebo+training (n=8), quercetin+sedentary (n=8), placebo+sedentary (n=8). Exercise
was conducted 5 days a week for 6 weeks in a rodent treadmill at a constant speed of
44cm/s with a 10% inclination. The first two days rats were ran during 20 minutes per
day. Resistance training duration was increased by 5 min every two days. Until last
week animals were required to run for a full 80min. Quercetin (25mg/kg on
alternative days) was administered via gavage diluted in methylcellulose, placebo
groups were also daily handled but they received only methylcellulose. Forty-eight
hours after any exercise brain was removed and PGC-1α gene expression (RT-PCR) was
performed.
Results: PGC-1α brain expression was increased in sedentary quercetin groups
(P=0.030). However, trained groups showed that quercetin diminished PGC-1α
expression (P=0.008). PGC-1α was increased in placebo-trained groups (P=0.012).
Conclusion: Quercetin supplementation hampers training-induced PGC-1α expression
in brain. Results could be due to the affinity of quercetin for brain tissue where may
exert its antioxidant effect. Antioxidants are known to decrease exercise-induced
muscle mitochondria biogenesis.

People with Alzheimer dementia suffer a decline over their cognitive functions. This
study evaluated changes over impairment of cognitive functions in older people with
Alzheimer's dementia who received a specific physical activity program. Were
evaluated 24 older people (21 women & 3 men) diagnosed with Alzheimer´s dementia
(Mini Mental State Examination score: 15,88 ± 4,98), divided into an experimental
group (9 women & 3 men, aged: 73,25 ± 6,66 years old) and a control group (12
women, aged: 82,50 ± 4,06 years old). Experimental group participated in a specific
physical activity program and cognitive stimulation activities during 4 months, 5 days
per week and in sessions of 50 minutes each one. At the same time, control group did
not specific physical activity program but received cognitive stimulation. Mini Mental
State Evaluation test evaluated impairment of cognitive functions at three different
times, pre-intervention, post-intervention and post-intervention II (2 months later), for
both groups. Statistics significant differences were found between post-intervention
and post-intervention II (p=0,001; effect size: 0,48), and between pre-intervention y
post-intervention II in experimental group (p=0,026; effect size: 0,42). We suggest
physical activity can slow the impairment of cognitive functions in people with
Alzheimer dementia.

The aim of this study is to follow the trend of BMI in a cohort of child between 8 to 14
years of age.
Survey has been performed in 04/05, 08/09, and 09/10 academic years: 576 child
(257F, 319M, 8 years and 5 months mean age); 523 (234F, 289M, 12 years and 5
months mean age); and 401 (169F, 232M, 13 years and 6 months mean age). Weight,
height, and BMI calculation have been assessed. Data have been processed by
statistical package SPSS.
The ponderal excess is decreased: 39.8% (22.9%
overweight,16.8% obese) at 8 year old (yo); 37.4% (27.1%
overweight,10.3% obese) at 12yo; 37.5% (27.1% overweight, 10.3% obese)
at 13yo. Obesity decreasing is observed more in females (15.9%, 6.8%,
and 3.6) than males (17.5%, 13.1%, and 8.6%). Overweight increased in
both cases. 382 child of this cohort underwent follow-up at 12yo (268
also at 13yo). The BMI trend is similar to that observed in the main
cohort. In the follow-up, the 50% of obese at 8yo became overweight at
12yo (18% remained obese at the end). The 33% and 55% of obese in the
two surveys became overweight but the 64% remained obese from 8 to
12yo, and the 35% from 12 to 13yo. Normal-weight were almost the same
in the two surveys and slightly increased between the second and the
third.
Correlation index obtained by comparing BMI values at 8 and 12yo is 0.84 indicating
that the weight/height ratio of 12yo child does not change. The overweight increasing
causes a higher metabolic complication risk and it confirm that the prevention must be
made earlier.

Background and aims: We have been developing the remote supporting system for
elderly to continue square-stepping exercise that improve lower-extremity functional
fitness. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the effects of long-term
square-stepping exercise by using remote supporting system. Methods: Thirteen
individuals aged 65-79 participated in square-stepping exercise program for 90 min,
once a week, for 12 weeks. After this program, they have being continued
square-stepping exercise by using remote supporting system by oneself. Prior to and
after the program, we obtained information on 5 physical performance tests to
calculate physical fitness age. After the program, progress of square-stepping exercise
was followed-up for 6 months. Results and conclusions: After the program, significant
improvements observed in leg power, locomotion speed. Additionally, physical fitness
age decreased significantly after the program (3.7 yr). Among 6 month after the
program, more than 70% of participants had continued to square-stepping exercise at
least a once a week. These results suggest that, square-stepping exercise is effective
improved to physical fitness age, further, easy to continue to using the remote
supporting system.

Introduction: Physical Activity-Participation (PA) at preschool-ages is vital to establish
lifelong physical activity habits. Due to the increasing out-of-home care for
preschoolers these settings are of emerging interest. Therefore we investigated the
influence of country-specific education-programs on physical activity of preschoolers.
Comparing the three countries France, Germany and Switzerland we aimed to identify
parameters to enhance and promote PA in early childhood.
Methods: The pilot-study measurements were conducted in three cities of the
tri-national region with similar population.
N= 60 children (age: 5,6±0,59 years) of randomized chosen nursery schools in each city
were measured by direct accelerometry for 7 consecutive days. Proxy-report diary and
physical-activity questionnaire were completed by parents and caregivers.
Anthropometrical data (weight, height, skinfold thickness) and socioeconomic data
were obtained. Country-specific timetables and curricula were analysed.
Results: Median daily activity was lower in French versus German and Swiss children (p
< .01). In the forenoon (9-12.00) French children were significantly more passive than
German or Swiss children (p < .01). In the afternoon Swiss children are significantly
more active than French or German Children (p < .01).
Direct accelerometry revealed no significant differences for physical activity between
the children at the weekend but PA was lower at the weekend compared to weekdays
(p < .05).
Conclusion: Compared to the more unstructured system in Switzerland and Germany
the regimented and highly structured French system leads to more inactivity in
preschoolers on weekday especially in the forenoon. In conclusion, “open concepts”
should be preferred for enhancing physical activity in contrast to desk-based teaching

Objective: Compare the dietary profile, anthropometric and metabolic parameters in
eligible executives check-up, according to the practice of Physical Activity.
Methodology: 2551 customers who filled out the questionnaires about the practice of
physical activity between 2010 and 2011. Were classified into active and sedentary
(ACSM) and divided into two groups. Evaluated Body Mass Index (BMI), Waist
Circumference (WC) and biochemical parameters. Statistical analysis used Student
t-tests and Mann Whitney test. Significance p <0.05. Results: Mean age was 43.5 (±
8.9) years. 57.6% of subjects reported practicing regular physical activity, but according
to ACSM, only 27.1% are active (p <0.001). The Active Group (AG) had a mean BMI and
AC lower than Sedentary Group (SG) (26.2 kg/m2 vs. 27.3 kg/m2, 90.3 cm vs. 94.5 cm,
respectively, p <0.001). Median AG was higher HDL-cholesterol (53 [45, 62] mg / dL vs.
48 [41.58] mg / dL, p <0.001) and lower in triglycerides (90 [68, 130] mg / dL vs. 110
[79, 154] mg / dL, p <0.001). In the food profile, there were differences in all variables
(p <0.05), less for legumes. 61.6% of sedentary performed fewer than 4 meals / day vs.
43% of AG. Vegetables and fruits, at least 5x/week is higher in the AG (74% vs. 64%,
59% vs. 43% respectively). 47.3% of active individuals consume more than 500g of
meat / week (vs. 37.7%). Conclusion: The lipid profile, anthropometric and food is the
best active managers. It´s necessary pay particular attention to sedentary executives
who consider themselves active.

Introduction
Health-related quality of life is a marker in chronic diseases, allowing the quantification
of the subjective perception of physical, emotional and social needs. The aim of this
preliminary study was to evaluate longitudinal changes in the health-related quality of
life in transplanted athletes, with a 3 years follow-up, through administration of the
SF36 questionnaire.
Methods
The SF36 was completed by 11 transplanted athletes (39±12 yrs; 70±13 kg; 170±9 cm;
24.2±3.8 kg/m²) who received heart (1), liver (2), bone marrow (4), kidney (4)
transplant. They had a mean age from transplant of 12.9±6.8 yrs and participated in
competitions during 3 subsequent editions (2010-2011 and 2012) of the National
Transplant Games.
Results
In the 3 years follow up the transplanted athletes showed non significant differences
(ANOVA) in 7 scales of SF36: physical functioning (95±8, 97±5 and 96±5 in 2010, 2011
and 2012 respectively), body pain (92±11, 91±18, 87±20), general health (77±18,
76±19, 80±19), vitality (80±13, 80±11, 78±13), social functioning (91±13, 90±10,
91±15), role limitations due to emotional problems (95±11, 94±14, 94±20) and mental
health (84±7, 83±12, 84±15).
The scale of role limitations due to physical problems significantly increased (P<0.05) in
2012 compared to 2010 (91±13, 98±8, 100±0).
Conclusions
Transplanted athletes are able to maintain an unchanged perception of their state of
physical and mental health in the observed period.
Despite these transplanted athletes are not representative of the general transplant
population, our preliminary data suggest that near-normal level of health-related
quality of life is possible after transplantation, and that practicing sport activities can
maintain a good quality of life.

OBJECTIVE:Running is physical activity which was hundred years ago a dominant way
of transportation from point A to point B in whole world and in underdeveloped
countries today, still is. In last 100 years with increment of machines utilisation for
transport, our bodies forgot to run and running and race participation is considered as
a grueling and exhaustive sport, especially long distance running.
Decreased physical activity produces variety of diseases with a great portion of
overall morbidity and mortality. Physical exercise is proven to be a good preventive
method and running is one of them.
Aim of this study was to investigate if Running School Concept is good way to achieve
this.
DESIGN AND METHODS: We present a concept of Running Schools, where adult
sedentary healthy people, with no experience in running, are led from absolute
beginner to halfmarathon (21.1km) finisher in 5 months, training 3-5 times a week,
supervised by trainers and a medical doctor. Participants took the questionnaire after
finishing the halfmarathon.
RESULTS: More than 100 individuals out of 110 who entered The School in 2011.,
finished halfmarathon, and 72 took the questionnaire. On average participant lost 3
kilograms, average BMI fell from 23.17 kg/m2 to 22.56, kg/m2, average
halfmarathon time was 1 hour 55 minutes. Other parameters were measured, too. The
participants continued running after The School.
CONCLUSION: We conclude that Running School Concept is a good way in introducing
and maintaining active and healthy lifestyle as a disease prevention.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to demonstrate that modern sports medicine, often
accused of scientific reductionism in its approaches to the problems of sport, is both a
human and a pedagogical knowledge that can contribute to the development of
Olympic Education.
DESIGN AND METHOD: This research, divided in two parts and developed by studying
ancient literary and philosophical sources, will focus on the concept of therapeia,
which will be analyzed using a historical method (first part) and a hermeneutical
method (second part and conclusions).
RESULTS: The hermeneutical analysis of Olympic sport in ancient times, summed up in
the practice of therapeia, showed a unified medical knowledge. A knowledge of the
body and of the mind at the same time, which was not divided between a
philosophical, educational, and a religious theoresis, on one hand, and an experimental
practice, on the other hand, because it was embodied in the physician-therapist who
was at the same time teacher, priest and keeper of the agonal/sport knowledge.
Contemporary Olympic education, now secularized, has lost its religious component,
replaced by a secular ethics of sport and a secular paideia, and has forgotten the
fundamental role that medical knowledge has historically played in its genesis.
CONCLUSIONS: This study has shown that sports medicine, a holistic knowledge not
dichotomized and centered on the concept of therapeia, can help to reaffirm the
centrality of the person - seen in its unity of body and mind - in the Olympic sport,
contributing through an exhortatory ethical methodology rather than a prescriptive
one to the development of the Olympic values.

background : In Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) many authors (1) found a
weakness in eccentric muscle strength,. It could represent a runway for treatment of
PFPS. But Eccentric muscular work is maybe not the more efficiency.
So what can
be expected with stretching Quadriceps on the PFPS?
Objectives : To compare the knee pain and the quadriceps strength before and after
Quadriceps Stretching.
Material and Methods : For each patients the two knees were selected to make
comparison between healthy and not healthy knee. EVA method was used to assess
the pain and that before and after stretching . Isokinetic Test was practiced always in
the same chronology: Training the test with the healthy knee at three speeds. Then,
assessment of the injured knee at the three same speeds followed by Quadriceps
stretching (3x 20 sec) and a last isokinetic evaluation .
Results : With 20 patients evaluated 10 improved their strength upper 20% .We also
assess a diminution of the pain 2.3 in average with 14 patients
Conclusions: Upper strength and decrease of pain after stretching were notified.
Quadriceps stretching in PFPS should be an alternative at the muscular eccentric work .

This study investigated the behaviour management practices used by beginning
coaches. It is recognised that a well-managed coaching environment can provide a
dynamic and engaging learning experience for athletes. Despite this, the behaviour of
athletes can often interfere with the coaching process. Coaches can have a profound
effect on the athletes they train, and it is for this reason coaches need to ensure they
create positive training environments.
This study identified the limited literature surrounding strategies for managing athlete
behaviour, highlighting the importance of developing a behaviour management
approach applicable to the coaching context that caters to the needs of both coaches
and athletes. The research investigated behaviour theories designed for the school
environment, and explored how these theories may be adapted to a sporting context.
Data collection focussed on seven beginning coaches with little or no prior coaching
experience. The objective of the data collection was to investigate whether beginning
coaches implement behaviour management into their coaching practice.
The research findings indicate the strategies employed by beginning coaches were
limited. The majority of strategies used were verbal, intrinsic and consequent when
responding to inappropriate athlete behaviour. This is despite many behavioural
theorists recognising the effectiveness of non-verbal and extrinsic motivators, and the
establishment of rules and expectations known as antecedent strategies.
The literature and data collected in this study enabled the researcher to develop
behaviour management recommendations for coaches. The main objective of these
strategies was to provide coaches with a set of guidelines for managing athlete
behaviour.

Introduction:
There is little information regarding the effect of acute exercise on blood rheological
parameters in young subject [1]. We aimed to analyze the whole rheological profile in
young subjects after acute exercise.
Methods:
Ten young subjects aged (12 to 16) performed an incremental maximal treadmill test.
Blood samples were collected before and after cessation of exercise. Erythrocyte
deformability at 12, 30 and 60 Pa, erythrocyte aggregation, fibrinogen, native blood
viscosity and at 45% corrected hematocrit, plasma viscosity and basic hematological
parameters were analyzed according to previous studies of our group [2]. Differences
between pre and post measures were assessed using an ANOVA test. P values <0.05
were considered statistically significant.
Results:
Erythrocyte deformability indexes decreased at all the shear stresses tested (p<0.001).
Hematocrit augmented (pre: 40,40±2,84 %, post: 41,84±2,85 %, p<0,05). Plasma
viscosity increased (pre: 1,22±0,04 mPa•s, post: 1,27±0,05 mPa•s, p<0,05). Native
blood viscosity increased but not significantly (pre: 4,02±0,66 mPa•s, post: 4,20±0,47
mPa•s, p=0,378).
Discussion
The results of the present study indicate that acute exercise modifies blood rheological
behavior, increasing hematocrit, plasma viscosity and decreasing erythrocyte
deformability. However the magnitude of these changes is not relevant enough to
modify blood viscosity.

Objective: Achilles tendon pathology (ATP) is a multifactorial condition for which
genetic risk factors have been identified. Variants within the COL5A1, MMP3 and
GDF-5 genes have been associated with this condition. The Elastin (ELN) proteins give
elasticity to tendons, allowing them to stretch and return to their original state. The
Fibrillin-2 (FBN2) glycoproteins play important roles in the formation of microfibril
filaments, providing strength and flexibility to tendons. Mutations within the ELN and
FBN2 genes have been linked to Marfan’s syndrome and contractual congenital
arachnodactyly respectively. Furthermore, the ELN rs2071307 and the FBN2 rs331079
variants have been found to associate with aortic and intracranial aneurysm
respectively; therefore disrupting the extracellular matrix. The aim of this study was to
determine whether these polymorphisms were associated with the risk of ATP in two
independent populations.
Design and Method: 213 (115 ATP cases and 98 asymptomatic controls) South African
Caucasian participants and 209 (60 ATP cases and 149 asymptomatic controls)
Australian Caucasian participants were recruited for this case-control genetic
association study. All participants were genotyped using TaqMan technology for the
ELN G/A rs2071307 and FBN2 G/C rs331079 polymorphisms.
Results: The genotype frequency of FBN2 rs331079 was significantly different
(P=0.043) between the ATP (GG, 86.2%; GC, 13.2%; CC, 0.6%) and CON (GG, 76.9%; GC,
21.0%; CC, 2.1%) groups. There was no significant association between ELN rs2071307
(P=0.804) and risk of ATP.
Conclusion: This study shows for the first time that variation within the FBN2 gene is
associated with ATP in Caucasian cohorts.

Injured skeletal muscle repairs spontaneously via regeneration; however, this process
is often incomplete because of fibrotic tissue formation. Growth factors from
platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with proven effects in tendinous and ligamentous healing
have not yet been studied in skeletal muscles mainly due to the concern that
exogenous TGF-β application could lead to even greater fibrosis development in an
injured muscle. Therefore, only some TGF-β antagonists like decorin have shown their
positive role in muscle repair so far. Therefore in our study, we investigated and
compared the effects of PRP and decorin in skeletal muscle regeneration. A novel
myoblast cell culture, developed in our laboratory was used for evaluation of potential
bioactivity of PRP and decorin. The influence on cells mitochondrial activity, TGF-β
level and myostatin (MSTN) was studied in parallel with cell proliferation assay. Our
results clearly showed that PRP treated myoblasts have a significant increase in the
mitochondrial activity and in the cell proliferation rate as compared to those treated
with decorin and control cells. At the same time lower expression of TGF-β and MSTN
was evident in PRP treated myoblasts, although PRP itself contains some amount of
TGF-β. Despite concerns about promoting fibrosis developement, PRP inhibits the
TGF-β and MSTN activity to even greater extent than decorin. We can conclude that
PRP can be a highly potential therapeutic agent for skeletal muscle regeneration and
repair.

Body
Objective: Determine the subjective maximum fat oxidation ( FATMAX ) using Indirect
calorimetry
Design and method:
It becames clear that the value of FatMax can not be predicted on the basis of a
percentage of VO2max but must be calculated directly on the subject.
The distribution of lipid-carbohydrate oxidation depending on the RER is calculated
using two stoichiometric formulas:
Fat (g / min) = 1.67 * VO2 - 1.67 * VCO2
CHO (g / min) = 4.55 * VCO2 - 3.21 * VO2
Subjects completed a progressive exercise test on a cycloergometer and RER and VO2
were registered using Ergospirometer ( Breeze). Workload was increased by 35 watt at
3 min intervals.
The FatMax will match the step at which occurs the most high fat consumption in
absolute terms. The FatMax
will be expressed in terms of workload (watts ) and heart rate recorded at steady state.
Through our software implementation (Polimedicus by P.L.Azzolini) the calculation of
FatMax can be completely automated.
Results:
fatmax does not coincide with the minimum value of Rer recorded during the test.
From a point of view the percentage of lipid are greater the more lower the RER,
but the absolute values also depend on the intensity of the effort, that is, the energy
requirements (VO2).
Conclusions:
Confronting fat oxidation at each work load, we can take the maximum value obtained
as the actual fatmax for the subject.As we may suspect the workload for Fatmax may
change slightly or more strongly in the same subject depending on his/her sedentary
or training state.

AIM - The aim of this study is to illustrate a case report of treatment with PRP of
overuse Achille's tendinopathy presents for 2 years in a runner and resistant to
conventional therapeutic approaches and with indication to surgical treatment.
MATERIALS AND METHODS - Preparation of the prp
450 ml of whole blood are fractionated through a simple centrifugation, thereby
obtaining a buffy coat that is placed under stirring for 24 h;
a second centrifugation then allows to obtain 50-60 ml of prp aliquotted in 5/6
samples of 8-10ml.
At the time of 'infiltration 6 ml of prp are mixed with 1 ml of calcium gluconate and 1
ml of autologous thrombin,also obtained by venipuncture.
Infiltration technique
After local anesthetic,a 21 gauge needle is placed at 2 cm from the calcaneal
inserction.
Pushed the needle in the depth direction is oriented parallel to the tendon and pushed
up to 4 cm along a considerable portion of the tendon body.
By pulling back the needle the growth factors are injected in the most uniform way as
possible.
This operation is repeated three times,by changing the trajectory of a few degrees in
ascent of the needle thus achieving a uniform distribution throughout the body of the
tendon.
RESULTS - The patient, that received 3 infiltration(one each 7 days),at the first visit,
showed at the MRI images, a tendinosis degeneration of the tendon body and a VISA-A
score of 29. The follow up at 30,90 and 180 days showed a progressive regression of
symptoms confirmed by the improvement of the VISA-A score 45,51,97.
MRI images at six months showed a normalization of tendon in line with the complete
disappearance of symptoms.
CONCLUSION - In light of the clinical outcomes,the minimum impediment to the
patient and the safety and low cost of treatment,we believe the PRP is a valuable
therapeutic option for patients that do not respond to conventional therapy before
addressing them to surgery.

Aim: To evaluate the influence of a custom made maxillary mouthguard (Parabite
Malpezzi®, PM) on submaximal and maximal physiological parameters determining
performance in road cycling.
Methods: Ten well-trained amateur road cyclists (35±5 yr.) performed an incremental
cardiopulmonary test until exhaustion on a frictional braked cycle ergometer, with
work rate (WR) increase of 15 watts per minute at a freely chosen pedaling cadence.
WR, heart rate, oxygen consumption (VO2), carbon dioxide production, and ventilation
at Lactate Threshold (LT), at Respiratory Compensation Point (RCP) and at maximal
exercise (MAX) were determined in normal condition (C) and wearing PM, made with
an original method based on gnathological and anthropometric parameters. Cycling
economy was also evaluated by analyzing the slope of the VO2/WR (δVO2/δWR,
mL/watt/min) relationship during the test in the two experimental conditions.
Results: Wearing PM compared to C resulted in an average significant 6% and 4%
increases of WR at RCP (281±32 vs 266±19 watts, P=0.04) and at MAX (353±44 vs
339±38 watts, P=0.004) respectively. Wearing PM also resulted in a 8% lower
δVO2/δWR (9.5±1.1 vs 10.3±1.1 mL/watt/min, P=0.06) while did not significantly alter
any of the other measured parameters at LT, RCP and MAX.
Conclusion: Wearing individually fitted maxillary mouthguard enhanced cycling
economy and exercise performance above Lactate Threshold, while did not affect
other parameters generally associated with cycling performance. These preliminary
results provide support to encourage athletes to correct jaw posture and occlusal
clench in order to improve exercise performance.

Introduction
Aim of our work is to demonstrate that the use of MRI applied to soccer players with
knee pathologies can influence diagnosis and treatment, and can be useful for a better
management of patient’s rehabilitation.
Materials and Methods
With a low-field MR scanner (Esaote S-scan, 0,25 T) 1153 examinations were
performed during a period of 16 months (9/10 – 5/12), of which 434 knee joint
examinations, mostly of soccer players.
The main clinical queries were the evaluation of the menisci and the cruciate, the
collateral and the alar ligaments, the articular cartilage, subchondral bone and marrow
diseases, in particular the evaluation of bone bruise, the characterization of
osteonecrosis and postoperative evaluation.
Results
MRI can decrease both morbidity and costs associated with negative arthroscopic
examinations. MRI has also proved valuable in the selection of surgical candidates and
in preoperative planning.
New 3D volume techniques performed for the specific study of articular cartilage can
reduce the gap between high and low-field systems. Additional advantages of MRI are
multiplanar and thin-section capabilities and the ability to evaluate subchondral bone
and marrow.
Conclusions
The evident advantage of high-field MR scanners is their higher signal-to-noise ratio,
which results in improved imaging.
On the other hand, the cost savings associated with low-field MRI hardware are
obvious. In our recent experience, according to many authors, the use of MRI applied
to sports knee injuries can influence diagnosis and treatment, re-enforcing the
pre-imaging diagnosis and increasing post-imaging diagnostic confidence, and can lead
to a better management of the cycle of patient’s rehabilitation.

Objective - Whole-body cryostimulation performed as a series of 10 sessions reduces
oxidative stress due to training, however such exposure to low temperatures
stimulates free radicals generation. The aim of the study was to determine the effect
of single whole-body cryostimulation prior exercise on markers of oxidative stress and
inflammatory process in blood of football players.
Design and Method - Blood samples were taken form basilic vein of 10 football players
(mean age 24.3±3.83) four times: before the experiment, right after 3 min whole-body
cryostimulation at temp. -130 centigrade, after 40 min aerobic exercise preceded by
cryostimulation and after comparable exercise, but without cryostimulation. In blood
of subjects the activity of superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, catalase and
creatine kinase, the level of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, conjugated dienes,
vitamins A, E, total lipid peroxides, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α and TGF-β was assayed.
Results - In studied group no changes in antioxidant enzymes activity and level of lipid
peroxidation products, vitamins, and total lipid peroxides were found. We have
observed 55% decrease (p<0.001) of IL-1β level after exercise with cryostimulation
versus value before the study. Moreover, after exercise with cryostimulation IL-6 was
142% higher (p<0.01), while after exercise without exposure to low temperatures
174% higher (p<0.001) than after single session in cryochamber. There were no
differences in TNF-α and TGF-1β, and creatine kinase activity.
Conclusions -Single whole-body cryostimulation has no impact on parameters of
oxidative stress. Nonetheless, it seems to affect some cytokines what suggest that
stimulation with extremely low temperatures prior to exercise regulates the local
inflammatory reaction

Objective - Actual research in sports medicine often focuses on importance of recovery
strategies, including cryostimulation, in the course of training. The purpose of this
study was to determine the effects of whole-body cryostimulation applied during
training on selected morphological and biochemical parameters in kayakers’ blood.
Design and Methods - The studied group consisted of 11 kayakers subjected to
twenty sessions of whole-body cryostimulation during typical training cycle. The blood
samples were obtained before and after 10-days training cycle with cryostimulation.
The count of white blood cells, neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophyls,
basophyls, red blood cells, and platelet, and the value of hemoglobin, hematocrit,
mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin and mean corpuscular
hemoglobin concentration were measured in hematological analyzer. The level of
cortisol, testosterone, follicle-stimulating hormone, free tri-iodothyronine and free
thyroxine was also estimated in blood.
Results - No changes in hematological parameters were found comparing the values
before and after training cycle with cryostimulation. However, higher than reference
red blood cells count was noticed before and after training. After training with
cryostimulation about 10% increase (p<0.05) of free thyroxine was found, but it was
still within reference value. In case of cortisol and testosterone higher than reference
values were observed both before and after training cycle.
Conclusions - The results demonstrate that training with cryostimulation affects
concentration of free thyroxine what may be due to intensified metabolism. Higher
than reference values of red blood cells count, cortisol and testosterone observed in
kayakers are probably the result of adaptive changes to intense exercise.

Introduction: Hyaluronic acid is commonly used as treatment of knee osteoarthritis.
Runner the postulate that the mechanisms that underlie its effectiveness are
applicable to other joints and before osteoarthritis or for traumatic cartilage lesions,
we use it in these indications for more than ten years. Method: Retrospective study
analysing the effectiveness of the viscosupplementation through a questionnaire
assessing pain, athletic/professional level, pain relief on a daily basis and satisfaction.
All of the lesions have been classified Kellgren 0 and staging of the ICRS for the knee.
Definition of the criteriae for response on the sedation of pain, and the maintenance
of the sport/professional level. We also searched prognostics factors for the knee, only
joint with sufficient sample size expected.Results: 339 protocols have been realized
(279 knees with single cartilaginous injury, 61 patients with associated treated
meniscal tear, 29 hips, 31 ankles) and 7 painful aftereffects of osteochondritis. Overall
effectiveness was 49,85% (single chondral injury : 46.26%,chondral injury plus meniscal
tear both treated : 60,66%, 44,82% for hip and 57.14% for the ankle). In the knee, the
stage lesion did not impact on efficiency (p = 0, 17), neither the presence of an
associated meniscal tear non treated (p = 0, 15); the pursuit of a support activity is
correlated with a loss of efficiency (p = 0. 039). Discussion: This study is interesting as
far as no study in vivo exists regarding the use of hyaluronic acid in support of isolated
micro traumatic or traumatic chondral lesions. Efficiency appears interesting, almost
equal to that found in the available studies on arthritis in these joints. Conclusion: The
use of hyaluronic acid for the treatment of the pain of single traumatic or
microtraumatic cartilage injury appears safe, with an interesting efficiency to be
confirmed by studies of high level of evidence.

Introduction: sport is regularly subjected to high joint stresses leading to articular cartilage
diseases either traumatic or micro traumatic even early osteoarthritis, whose site is based
on the type of solicitation. Starting from the premise that the mechanisms underlying the
efficacy of viscosupplementation for osteoarthritis of the knee are applicable to other joint
sites, we have expanded our indications, certainly at the ankle and hip joints but also less
traditional: shoulder, elbow, acromioclavicular, subtalar, wrist, trapeziometacarpal. We
tried to evaluate the efficacy of hyaluronic acid through a study covering 10 years of
practice in our unit.
Method: Retrospective descriptive analysis of the efficacy of viscosupplementation with a
questionnaire assessing pain, sport / professional level, daily relief and satisfaction.
Definition of response criteria on pain relief, and maintaining the earlier sport /
professional levels.
Results: 84 protocols were performed, distributed as follows: 17 shoulders, 19
acromioclavicular, 15 elbows, 12 trapeziometacarpal, 12 subtalar and 9 wrists. 75 patients
had a traumatic or microtraumatic cartilage injury, 5 a distal lysis of the clavicle, 2 a painful
sequelae of osteochondritis of the elbow, two an osteochondromatosis of the elbow. No
radiological staging has been established. The average age of patients was 39.32 years (+ / 14.38), 70% male, 67.9% had a athlete profile with high joint solicitation. The overall
efficiency was 60.71% for all sites (shoulder 58.82%, acromioclavicular 68.42%, elbow
53.33%, trapeziometacarpal 91.67%, subtalar 41.67%, 44, wrist 44%). All patients who were
treated for lysis of the distal clavicle was relieved, none of the patients with painful
sequelae of osteochondritis and only one out of two cases of osteochondromatosis. Only
two minor adverse events (3%) were identified, represented by persistent pain at the
puncture site. In the shoulder and elbow only joint where analysis was possible, the
continuation of an activity using painful joint causes a loss of efficacy (p = 0.0595, p =
0.028).
Discussion: This study provides encouraging results despite its low level of evidence and its
low number of patient. In the acromioclavicular joint, the subtalar and wrist it is a unique
contribution in the literature. Our results support those of the literature on shoulder and
trapeziometacarpal but are in stark contrast to the only study available to the elbow.
Conclusion: This study is an initial assessment of a possible scope of viscosupplementation
in the small joints in response to thin existing armamentarium. The results seem interesting
and should be confirmed by studies of the highest level of evidence and the wider
population.

Objective: We aimed to analyze the relationship between plasma lipid profile and
maximal exercise capacity in rats.
Design and method: We analysed the relationship between plasma lipid profile and
exercise capacity in a maximal treadmill test on 20 male wistar rats.. Spearman
correlations were performed between triglycerides, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol,
HDL-cholesterol and some maximal exercise capacity parameters: blood lactate after
test, test time duration, final speed and maximum oxygen consumption during the
test.
Results: Among all the plasma parameters analyzed plasma triglycerides was the most
correlated with plasma lipid profile. We have observed a moderate to good
relationship between plasma triglycerides and blood lactate and test time duration in
the incremental treadmill test (r= -0.515 and -0.530, respectively, all <0.05). Plas
triglycerides also showed a fair relationship with final speed and maximum oxygen
consumption (r= -0.498, -0.489, respectively, both p<0.05). No noticeable relationships
were observed between total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol and
plasma lipid profile.
Cocnclusions: Plasma triglycerides were very significantly correlated with maximal
exercise capacity. These findings could indicate that plasma tryglicerides are especially
sensitive to the maximal exercise capacity.

Objective: We aimed to analyze the antioxidant quercetin effects on brain nitric
oxide (NO) production.
Design and method: Three-weeks-old male rats were classified as: quercetin+training
(n=9), placebo+training (n=8), quercetin+sedentary (n=8), placebo+sedentary (n=8).
Exercise was conducted 5 days/week during 6 weeks in a rodent treadmill at a
constant speed of 44cm/s with a 10% inclination. The first two days rats were ran
during 20 min/day. Resistance training duration was increased by 5 min every two
days. Last week animals were required to run for 80min. Quercetin (25mg/kg on
alternative days) was administered via gavage diluted in methylcellulose in quercetin
groups. Forty-eight hours after any exercise brain was removed and NO production
was indirectly quantified by determining nitrate/nitrite and S-nitroso compounds,
using an ozone chemiluminescence-based method.
Results: There was a main effect for quercetin by reducing NO end-metabolites
(P<0.001). Although, there was no main effect for exercise (P=0.846). Sedentary
placebo group obtained an increase of 798% more than sedentary quercetin group
P<0.001). No differences were found in trained groups with or without quercetin
supplementation (P>0.05). Quercetin groups showed an increase of NO production
with exercise (P<0.001). NO was decreased in placebo-trained groups (P=0.015).
Conclusion: Information corroborates previous data, which suggests a diminished
production of final metabolites of NO with quercetin. Our study goes beyond because
quercetin beneficial effects are partially inhibited with exercise.

Introduction: For elite athletes competing in team sports, appropriate hydration is an
important but often overlooked aspect of proper training and competition. Despite
ongoing efforts to educate athletes about the harmful effects of dehydration, some
athletes still commonly begin practice or competition (or both) in a hypohydrated
condition, increasing the risk of developing severe dehydration.
Hydration status can be estimated by urinary color and measured by urinary specific
gravity and serum or urinary osmolality.
Study: 20 elite male junior field hockey players, from the national team U18, preparing
their participation to the first Youth Olympic Games in Singapore, were included in a
study about hydration and its physiologic effects during intensive training. We
investigated their hydration status before and after training. Training took place in
exterior temperature of 11°C and relative humidity of 35%.
Methods: All players were weight with a precision balance by the same examinator.
