“…Seven skinfolds were measured according to the ISAK procedure (tricipital, subscapular, bicipital, abdominal, suprailiac, crural and geminal) to estimate body density as per Whitters et al [ 15 ] and Reilley et al [ 16 ] protocols. Then, the Siri formula was used to compute the percentage of fat as the average of the values of the two formulas [ 17 ]. In order to estimate muscle mass, the thigh, geminal and bicipital perimeters were measured to estimate muscle mass using the Lee et al formula [ 18 ].…”

Poor oral health in elite sport is a pressing issue, however little is known about the periodontal status of professional footballers. The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of periodontitis in a group of professional footballers and its association with nutritional parameters and self-report non-traumatic injuries. Additionally, we assessed its association with anthropometric, dietary inflammatory load and self-reported muscular and/or articular injuries. Twenty-two professional footballers were evaluated at the beginning of the 2020–2021 season via full-mouth periodontal inspection, anthropometric measurements and the application of the dietary inflammatory index through a food intake measurement of 24 h dietary recall on two different days. Self-reporting non-traumatic muscular and articular injuries for the past 6 months were recorded from each athlete. Then we compared clinical measurements according to the periodontal status and we correlated age, periodontal and nutritional parameters. Overall, the prevalence of periodontitis was 40.9% and peri-implantitis was also observed. No significant differences were found regarding age or nutritional parameters according to the periodontal status. More non-traumatic muscular events in the past 6 months were found in the periodontitis group (55.6% vs. 38.4%), although the difference was non-significant. Both clinical attachment loss, periodontal pocket depth and the periodontal epithelial surface area revealed a significant moderate correlation with the percentage of fat mass, muscle mass, muscle mass index and total adipose folds. This group of professional footballers showed an alarming prevalence of periodontitis. Further studies shall examine whether periodontitis and periodontal treatment impact the performance of this group of athletes.

“…Ideally, the features of the population to be evaluated should be similar to the ones from the sample used on the validation process of the selected equation [13]. It is necessary that body fat percentage is accurately diagnosed, however studies exploring the validity of prediction equations in older adults are very scare [14,15]. Thus, the purpose of this study was to analyze the validity of anthropometric equations to estimate the body fat in older men and women compared to a gold standard method i.e.…”

Body fat percentage prediction in older adults: Agreement between anthropometric equations and DXA

Background: It is difficult to measure body fat percentage in clinical settings. Equations using anthropometric measures are more feasible and can be used to estimate body fat. However, there is a need to analyze their accuracy in older adults. Our study aims to validate the use of anthropometric equations to estimate body fat percentage in older men and women. Methods: This study evaluated data from 127 Brazilian individuals aged between 60 and 91 years. Weight, height, skinfold thickness and waist and hip circumferences were measured. Seventeen anthropometric equations were tested using the crossed validity criteria suggested by Lohman and the graph analysis proposed by Bland and Altman and by Lin was also performed. The gold-standard method for comparing the anthropometric equations was the dual-energy absorptiometry X-ray (DXA). Results: The average body fat percentage was 30.2 ± 8.6% in men and 43.4 ± 7.9% in women (p < 0.001). In men, the equations which used skinfold thickness presented amplitude of 11.48%, while in women, amplitude's constant error (CE) was 22.88%. The equations based on circumferences and BMI presented CE variation from À5.3% to 29.68% on the estimation of body fat percentage, which means that a same male individual can have the total body adiposity diagnosed with 34.98% of variation, depending on the selection of the employed equation. For women this CE variation was 12.44%. Conclusion:Overall, all the equations yielded different results from the DXA. However, the best equations for male were the one of Lean et al. (1996), which uses the waist circumference, and for women the one of Deurenberg et al. (1991), developed from the body mass index. The need of developing specific equations for older adults still remains, since even the two best equations showed considerable limitations on predicating body fat percentage.

“…Por el contrario, la evaluación debe convertirse en el principal elemento para los trabajadores en el área deportiva debido a que permite establecer objetivos para el equipo y el deportista que puedan ser cuantificables en el tiempo. Para ejemplificar, diversos equipos de fútbol a nivel mundial utilizan la tecnología para realizar procesos de monitorización de diversas variables implicadas en el rendimiento de los futbolistas tales como sistemas de posicionamiento global, dispositivos de medición de la composición corporal, dispositivos de medición de la fuerza muscular como placas de fuerza y software específicos por habilidad dando como resultado la creación de perfiles de rendimiento por jugador y por equipo permitiéndoles establecer metas y realizar análisis constantes de los jugadores (24)(25)(26)(27).…”

Introducción El fútbol ha evolucionado debido a que han aumentado las demandas a nivel técnico, físico, fisiológico, táctico y mental que obligan al jugador a tener un mejor rendimiento. Para ejemplificar, los jugadores de alto rendimiento pueden recorrer hasta 10 kilómetros en acciones de juego como correr, saltar, patear, girar, acelerar, desacelerar, contextualizadas dentro de acciones tácticas que implican movimientos a nivel ofensivo y defensivo en un sistema de juego especifico implementado por los jefes técnicos lo cual implica que deben estar preparados para afrontar entrenamientos y partidos al máximo nivel de exigencia física. La fuerza es el pilar de desarrollo de las demás cualidades físicas debido a que combina diferentes factores morfológicos y neurales como la sección trasversal muscular, arquitectura muscular, reclutamiento de unidades motoras con su sincronización e inhibición neuromuscular. El entrenamiento de la fuerza excéntrica es el punto de partida para desarrollar habilidades de rendimiento especificas debido a que tiene efectos significativos en la reducción de lesiones y aumento de habilidades físicas.Metodología Se realizó un estudio cuasi experimental no aleatorizado que tenía como fin evaluar el efecto de un entrenamiento preventivo basado en ejercicios de sobrecarga excéntrica y determinar valores de referencia para jugadores de fútbol de la liga profesional colombiana en la cadena muscular anterior. Se definió como variables de medición la potencia media excéntrica medida mediante el sistema SmartCoach a través del dispositivo kBox Exxentric. Resultados Se realizó la prueba en t para medias emparejadas en el software excel donde la media para la 1 evaluación fue de 271,4 Watts y la 2 evaluación de 534,2 watts, se obtuvo un valor de P=0,000000014 lo cual indica que hubo una diferencia significativa. Para los arqueros el valor promedio fue de 352watts, defensas laterales 374 watts, defensas centrales 475 watts, volantes 385 watts, extremos 401 watts y delanteros 418 watts. Conclusión el entrenamiento preventivo de fuerza y sobrecarga excéntrica enfocado en la cadena muscular anterior tiene efectos significativos en la fuerza muscular en jugadores de futbol profesional.
