Relationship Between Body Size and Skeletal Age with Muscle Damage in Young Soccer Players

“…In addition, considering the various implications associated with body size variations and considering that physiological variables and body size can develop in a non-linear way in adolescents [47][48][49], the use of allometric approaches may be suggestive to compare outcomes of physiological origin between individuals of different body sizes. Moreover, in the practical field, professionals active in planning and prescribing training to young soccer players, mainly to adolescents during the period of accelerated growth, should consider the present findings, which show different physiological responses after a soccer match in these players and are relevant for subsequent training sessions and individual recovery strategies.…”

Ativação muscular e torque na articulação do tornozelo entre ginastas e não-atletas

“…Electromyographic (EMG) signals (AMT-8, Bortec Biomedical, Canada) of the medial gastrocnemius (MG), soleus (SO) and tibialis anterior (TA) muscles were collected simultaneously to maximal torque during the maximal voluntary isometric contractions. Bipolar surface EMG signals (Kendall Meditrace-100, Canada; inter-electrode distance = 1 cm) were collected using standard procedures according to the criteria by SENIAM (1999) 13 . Before placing the electrodes, the electrical impedance of the skin was reduced by hair shaving and skin cleaning with an alcohol swab in order to remove dead cells and oil at the site of electrode placement.…”
