“…The results from those studies coincide with the results described in this current study, organized based on age and sex. 2 , 6 , 9 , 21 Furthermore, the maximum bone mass is reached between the ages of 16.0–18 years old in both sexes, and they are similar to those in studies cited previously.…”

“…The results found for SOS were also lower than the ones showed on the paper (1567.5 ± 33.3 m/s) [59]. In regard to BMD assessment in juniors, other populations have obtained a BUA of 89.46 ± 14.41 dB/MHz and an SOS of 1503.54 ± 13.45 m/s [60]. These differences from the results of the present investigation are due to the fact that exercise is associated with an increase in bone mineral density [61].…”

Anthropometric Dimensions and Bone Quality in International Male Beach Handball Players: Junior vs. Senior Comparison

et al. 2021

Background: Beach handball is a recent team sport characterized by defensive and offensive actions on a sand surface. Scientific evidence has shown that body composition is fundamental in sports performance. The main objective of this study was to know the body composition, anthropometric characteristics, and bone mineral density of elite beach handball players. Furthermore, another purpose was to analyze the differences between categories (junior and senior) and playing position. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study of 36 male players (18 juniors and 18 seniors) of the Spanish National Beach Handball Team was conducted. Full profile anthropometry and calcaneal ultrasound measurements were used. Results: Significant differences between categories (p < 0.05) were found in: height, body mass, arm span, BMI, muscle mass, fat mass, bone mass, skinfolds, and body perimeters. The somatotype changes depending on the playing position. Bone mineral density of the players was adequate. No significant differences were found by playing position. Conclusions: Senior players had a better body composition due to the presence of less fat mass than junior players. This study provides reference values of elite junior and senior beach handball players and by playing positions. This data is useful for the identification of talents and players who should be trained to improve their body composition.

“…Frequency of psychosomatic symptoms was assessed by questionnaire [26]. The level of habitual physical activity (frequency, duration, sports, qualification, sportrelated experiences) were measured by using our self-reported questionnaires [27]. For this investigation the total weekly hours of sports participation was used for the selection of examined students.…”

Background Regular sport has favourable influence on the physical and mental state. Our aim was to analyse the relationship between regular sport activities, body parameters, cortisol level, perceived stress and the frequency of psychosomatic symptoms in male and female university students. Methods Subjects were university students (N = 200). They were divided in sporting (more than 7 h week−1: 56 males (sm), 50 females (sf)) and non-sporting (less than 3 h week−1: 44 males (nsm) and 50 females (nsf)) groups. Body composition was estimated by Inbody720-analyser. Stress levels were measured by (1) free cortisol level in saliva measured by using IBL-ELISA kits and (2) questionnaires about psychosomatic symptoms and perceived stress scale. Results There were significant subgroup’ differences in body composition (fat%:sm:12.1 ± 6.0 vs. nsm:17.9 ± 6.8; sf:20.8 ± 5.5 vs. nsf:25.4 ± 5.7; muscle%:sm:50.3 ± 3.6 vs. nsm:47.6 ± 3.9; sf:43.8 ± 3.2 vs. nsf:41.7 ± 3.3), and in stress level (total scores:sm:21.0 ± 5.7 vs. nsm:23.3 ± 7.2; sf:25.5 ± 7.0 vs. nsf:28.0 ± 9.7). There were gender differences in the psychosomatic symptoms' frequency (total scores: sm: 14.6 ± 6.3 vs. sf: 20.4 ± 7.4; nsm: 14.9 ± 6.1 vs. nsf: 19.6 ± 8.2). The sporting students had larger muscle, smaller fat percentages, and lower level of stress. Basic level of salivary cortisol revealed significant relation with physical activity: sporting students had lower level of cortisol. This relation was reflected in higher percentage of students with low level of cortisol in the physically active subgroups (s/ns males: 29% vs. 15%; s/ns females: 18% vs. 5%) and in the higher percentage of female students with high level of cortisol in the non-sporting subgroup (27% vs. 11%). Conclusion Regular sport activity is positively related with lower stress levels in university students.

Reference data for ultrasound bone characteristics in Hungarian children aged 7–19 years

Abstract: Changes in the bone parameters among 7-19-year-old Hungarian children depended on age, anthropometric dimensions and the level of PA. The normative data could be used for monitoring QUS bone parameters in children, leading to more effective interventions for healthy bones.
