Influenza della dismetria del bacino sulla deambulazione in femmine adolescenti. Un'analisi con piattaforma di forza
Obiettivo. L’obiettivo principale dello studio è stato quello di analizzare l’influenza di un tilt pelvico sulla deambulazione in soggetti adolescenti attraverso l’uso di una piattaforma di forza. Metodi. Allo studio hanno partecipato 9 soggetti adolescenti di sesso femminile (12,33±1,22 anni), di cui 6 con tilt pelvico. Risultati. In ortostasi, il piede sinistro sopportava un carico, in percentuale del peso corporeo, maggiore del piede destro (52,56±3,78% vs 47,44±3,78%; p<0,05), a parità di superficie di appoggio; in deambulazione, i soggetti mostravano, a parità di tempi di appoggio dei singoli piedi al suolo, una riduzione del carico sul piede destro rispetto al sinistro, significativa …
Influence of family history to type 2 diabetes on the body composition and homeostasis model assessment: a comparison between young active and sedentary men.
Obiettivo. La storia familiare (family history, FH) per il diabete mellito (DM) di tipo 2 è un fattore di rischio per lo sviluppo della malattia, inducendo precoci modificazioni metaboliche e antropometriche in soggetti sedentari. Lo scopo di questo lavoro era studiare l’influenza di FH al DM sulla composizione corporea e sul metabolismo del glucosio in giovani uomini sedentari ed attivi. Metodi. In un’analisi trasversale, sono stati registrati dati antropometrici, composizione corporea (tramite BIA), insulina e glucosio plasmatici in 60 giovani siciliani sani (31 atleti e 29 soggetti sedentari); FH è stata definita come FH+ se il soggetto aveva riferito di avere almeno un membro della fami…

Family history of type 2 diabetes and altered maximal aerobic capacity in elite young athletes: a cross-sectional study.
Aim. Family history of type 2 diabetes is a predictive risk factor of illness in sedentary subjects and induces early phenotypic and metabolic alterations. The aim of this study was to determine whether a family history of diabetes in young male athletes had an effect on metabolic functional parameters. Methods. The study population was 42 young male athletes with or without a family history of type 2 diabetes. Anthropometric parameters, body composition, and maximal aerobic capacity (V̇O2max) were assessed. Results. V̇O2max was lower in the 13 athletes with a family history of diabetes (FH+) than in the 29 athletes without a family history of the disorder (FH-) matched for kilogram of body…

The basal energy expenditure of female athletes vs. sedentary women as related to their family history of type 2 diabetes
The purpose of this study was to investigate the basal metabolic rate (BMR) in 16 professional sportswomen (soccer players) versus 15 sedentary women, as related to the presence (FH+) or absence (FH-) of a family history of type 2 diabetes. The sportswomen, in toto, had a significantly higher BMR than expected from predictive equations (+14.92%). However, the difference was limited only to FH- sportswomen (+18.66%, p<0.0005). FH- sportswomen showed a significantly higher measured BMR than FH+ sportswomen (p<0.005), and FH+ (p=0.058) and than FH- (p<0.05) sedentary women. There were no other significant differences relative to physical, metabolic and plasmatic data between the groups. The sp…

Plantar pressure distribution analysis in normal weight young women and men with normal and claw feet: a cross-sectional study
We analyzed the plantar support in 72 normal-weight young voluntaries (46 women, 26 men), by a baropodometric platform. We considered subjects with claw foot (CFS) and subjects with normal foot (NFS). We found a significant reduction of total plantar support surface in the CFS (P < 0.0001 for women, P < 0.001 for men), due to the reduction of the forefoot and rear foot areas of both plantar imprints. Indeed, CFS of both sexes exhibited higher values of both plantar pressure and peak pressure, compared to the NFS. Moreover, the load per units of plantar surface increased in CFS compared to the NFS. In conclusion, the reduction of plantar support surfaces in CFS of both sexes was associated t…
