The aim: A comparative analysis of the efficiency of the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex for bodybuilders and football referees. Defining factors that are related and those that are not related to their professions that can affect their efficiency of the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex. Materials and methods: 35 bodybuilders and 41 football referees were randomly selected in different assosiations in Lodz. The study was performed using a questionnaire and tests for the SFTR range of motion of hip joints and also a Shober test. Results: It occurs that statistically the extension, flexion, abduction, external and internal rotation were significant with bodybuilders and the extension and internal rotation movement with the referees. The mean values for the Shober test when moving forward were worse for the test group than man for the control group were correct. Alongside bulking within the test group and control group the range of motion in the hip joint has decreased. The biggest statistical significance has been for the flexion and internal rotation. Conclusions: In the group of bodybuilders the restriction appears to be in 5 out of 6 type of movements in the hip joint area: extension, flexion, abduction, internal and external rotation. In the second group, football referees the range of motion forward and internal rotation is restricted. The mobility of the lumbar region in both groups is within the average, but for the bodybuilders at quite low. The efficiency of lumbo-pelvic-hip complex is determined by duration of training, body mass, type of training and also any pain ailments. Bodybuilders have less efficiency of lumbo-pelvic-hip complex.
Aim: Assessment of the impact of nutritional status and physical activity on body posture, including selected morphological and functional parameters of the spine, during children’s adolescence. Analysis of selected aspects of everyday life that may affect disorders of the spine. Assessment of children’s awareness of proper nutrition and the health-promoting role of physical activity. Material and Methods: The study involved 41 children aged 10-13 years. A self-authored survey was used. A questionnaire of a modified method of scoring the assessment of body posture according to Kasperczyk was also used. Selected tests were performed, including: chin-sternum test, Otto’s test, Tomayer’s test, as well as measurement with skinfold calipers and a tape measure. Results: The average daily time of performing activities by the studied children in sitting positions was more than 2 times longer than spent on various forms of physical activies. Waist Hip Ratio studies have indicated gynoid body proportions among boys and normal in girls. The calculated Body Mass Index shows that 10 girls (24%) and 6 boys (15%) had a deviation from the norm. Postural disorders were indicated in 100% of the subjects, including spinal mobility disorders in 24 people (59%). The majority of people (90%) undertook physical activity while showing insufficient knowledge of nutrition norms. Conclusions: The greater the body weight, the lower the mobility within the spine. No associations were observed between the type, length and frequency of physical activity undertaken, as well as the amount of time spent in sitting positions and disorders of mobility within the spine. Despite the large amount of time in sitting positions, children often and willingly undertake physical activity. The respondents have a satisfactory knowledge of pro-health behaviors, however, they present an unsatisfactory state of knowledge in the field of awareness about correctness, norms and the way of proper nutrition.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
