“…The applied method of determining body fat percentage from skinfolds is relatively inexpensive and renders results comparable to those obtained by bioelectric impedance [12]; moreover, only approximate values were needed for our purposes. The assessment of core stability A B C P. Nikolaidis employing back extension, trunk flexion and left/right bridges was previously applied to Division I football players [10,11], untrained subjects and those with back disorders [8].…”

SummaryStudy aim: To investigate into core stability measures and to establish the preliminary normal data. Material and methods: Three groups of football players were studied: male players, members of an amateur club (Division IV; n = 20), female players, members of a Division I club (n = 28) and male adolescent club players (n = 17). They were subjected to 4 tests of core stability (muscular endurance of trunk flexors and extensors, and of left and right lateral bridge) at the beginning of the 2009/2010 season. Results: No significant between-group differences were found for trunk flexors endurance. Female players were significantly (p<0.01) superior to both male groups with respect to trunk extensors endurance and inferior with respect to flexors-to-extensors ratio. Conclusions:The results may have practical implications for football training and injury prevention.

“…In the case of men, the average change in body mass was 1.5 kg, while fat mass increased by 1 kg on average. Men aged 18-21 are people in a stable ontogenetic period and according to the norm should have fat mass within the limits of 8-20% of body mass [36][37][38][39]. Their change in body mass or change in fat mass is the effect of an unbalanced energy balance.…”

The aim of the study is to assess the impact of changes in daily physical activity during the blockade (March 2020–February 2021) on the mass and segmental composition of the body of young people. Material and research methods: In total, 120 people from the sports and medical university aged 19.8 (±0.8) years, average height 173.2 (±9.2) cm, body mass 66.1 (±12.8), and BMI 19.2 (±5.9) kg/m2. The research was carried out in two stages. The total and segmental body mass of the respondents and the change in physical activity during the pandemic were assessed twice (December 2019, February 2021). There was a statistically significant increase in body mass in men, an increase in total fat mass in women, and statistically significant changes in the distribution of fat mass in both sexes. Conclusions: In the studied group, there was a change in the forms of physical activity from strength and group activity to endurance activity (running forms, cycling.) and individual activity. The subjects showed a statistically significant increase in body fat, regardless of gender, and in the upper limbs in men.

“…It has been suggested to be the optimal parameter in defining obesity and metabolic syndrome in Chinese adults 14. Various other researchers have used ICO as a parameter while studying metabolic syndrome and related disorders 15–17. Our data on validation of ICO for defining metabolic syndrome was evaluated and published as a key paper evaluation by Expert Reviews: Cardiovascular therapies 10.…”

Should waist circumference be replaced by index of central obesity (ICO) in definition of metabolic syndrome?

Waist circumference has been widely used as the parameter of central obesity in defining metabolic syndrome. Global consensus definition of metabolic syndrome has suggested various race- and gender-specific cutoffs of waist circumference for quantifying central obesity. We have earlier proposed that using index of central obesity (ICO), the need for race- and gender-specific cutoffs may be obviated. We propose that waist circumference be supplanted with index of central obesity in all definitions of metabolic syndrome. Using index of central obesity a common cutoff of 0.5 applicable across races and genders might be obtained. Moreover, it will enhance the sensitivity of definition by diagnosing subjects who are shorter than general population. Among 258 male and 242 female diabetic patients, subjects with metabolic syndrome (defined as per gender-specific waist circumference cutoffs), were found to have a common lower range of index of central obesity suggesting that a common cutoff of waist circumference may be obtained. In another study from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey database, replacing index of central obesity with waist circumference was found to enhance the specificity and sensitivity of definition of metabolic syndrome.
