“…Cycling and other sports with repetitive movements can cause muscle force and/or flexibility asymmetries (Tashiro et al, 2016) that can lead to body asymmetries. Long-lasting and regular training sessions along with the intensive, and at the same time asymmetrical, muscle work may cause different types of overloads which lead to different motor organ injuries and deformations (Barczyk-Pawelec et al, 2012). Therefore, the necessity to measure body asymmetries in road cycling is even more important.…”

RAUTER, S.; VODICAR, J. & SIMENKO, J.Body asymmetries in young male road cyclists. Int. J. Morphol., 35(3):907-912, 2017. SUMMARY: An anthropometric analysis was conducted on 64 competitive young male road cyclists of different age categories (U17; U19; & U23 years of age). The purpose of the study is to find asymmetries between the left and right side of upper and lower limbs with the NX-16 (TC 2 ) 3D body scanner, which includes measurement of left and right upper arm girth, elbow girth, forearm girth, wrist girth, thigh girth, knee girth, thigh length, calf girth, and shin length. Body composition was measured by the bioelectrical impedance machine InBody 720 (Biospace Ltd.). Results of body composition measurements of male road cyclists showed that U17 and U19 youth road cyclist differed statistically in five (from 11) paired variables, and the U23 age group differed statistically in six (from 11) paired variables. All of the age groups differed statistically in elbow, forearm, and calf girth. The main finding of study was that as the age of a cyclist increases, there is a tendency to increase asymmetries between the left and right side of several body segments.

“…An advanced optical system makes it possible for the computer to map out a three-dimensional image of the subject's back and to analyse over 50 parameters in the frontal and sagittal plane. The digital data may be analysed, compared, stored and subjected to statistical processing [7].…”

“…The shape of spinal curvatures is relatively easy to examine, both with invasive methods, such as X-ray, and noninvasive tools such as ultrasound Metrecom System, Zebris, photogrammetric technique, inclinometer, frequently used in screening examinations [5][6][7][8][9]. However, purchasing majority of these tools is very costly.…”

Purpose The purpose of the study was to investigate correlations between parameters of anteroposterior spinal curvatures in the sagittal plane, measured with the use of photogrammetric technique and inclinometer in healthy elderly women. Methods Randomized study involved 50 females, ranging from 50 to 70 years of age (mean 62.26 ± 6.94); mean body mass index (BMI) 27.69 ± 4.79. The examined parameters included angle of inclination in lumbosacral spine (ALFA), thoracolumbar transition (BETA), upper thoracic segment (GAMMA), angle of lumbar lordosis (LLA) and thoracic kyphosis (TKA). Results obtained with gravitational inclinometer were compared with those identified with photogrammetry method. Statistical analyses were performed with Mann-Whitney U test, regression analysis and Bland-Altman analysis. Results In Mann-Whitney U test, with correction due to continuity, no statistically significant differences for any variable were found. Regression analysis was significant only for the variable of BETA angle. Bland-Altman coefficient for the respective angles was: ALFA 2.0%, BETA 4%, GAMMA 0%, LLA 2% and TKA 0%. Conclusions The results acquired with gravitational inclinometer and with photogrammetric technique are comparable, as the parameters of anteroposterior spinal curvatures acquired with these two methods are found to be compatible in the case of measurements of lumbar lordosis and thoracic kyphosis.

“…The issue of influence of competitive sports on sportsmen's posture was analysed by: Mrozkowiak [11][12][13][14][15] [18], Barczyk-Pawelec et al [19], Furgiel et al [20], Grabara [21][22][23]. Research of Drzał-Grabiec et al [24] on a group of 50 children aged 7-10 years who had been training karate for two years showed in photogrammetric measurement of selected postural features increased thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis.…”

S u m m a r y I n t r o d u c t i o n . Influence of physical training on an individual development is a function of its intensity and consistency. The aim of this research was to present influence of sports training, peculiar to a given sports discipline, on competitors' habitual posture. M a t e r i a l a n d m e t h o d . Measurement of 35 spatial features of habitual body posture, with a use of the photogrammetric method, carried out among 151 competitors representing a variety of sports disciplines: judo, wrestling, volleyball, football, and fencing. R e s u l t s . A habitual posture peculiar to each sports discipline was described and importance of differences between features of habitual posture of people not doing qualified sports was established.
