Objective: To describe the physical and physiological characteristics of a group formed by ultra-distance runners, to compare their training habits with the guidelines established by the WHO and to study the possible harmful consequences of the high volume of physical activity performed. Material and method: The sample was formed by runners who repeated their participation in the “Ehunmilak” ultra-distance race in 2017 and 2018. Data collected through the medical certificates of the race and an own questionnaire were analyzed. For the analysis of variables, the Mann-Whitney U and Chi-square tests were used, with a 95% confidence interval. A value of p <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: A low prevalence of several well known risk factors was observed (HT 1.8%, DM 0%, dyslipidemia 0-1.8%, smoking 5.3-10.5%, overweight 17.5%). During the last two years, 0% suffered cardiovascular injuries and 52.6% suffered musculoskeletal injuries. Medical examinations were performed frequently, each year by 91.2%. 72% complied with the latest WHO recommendations regarding volume of physical activity. Finally, no relationship was found between the parameters that indicate a high volume of physical exercise and the ECG result. The same occurred with musculoskeletal injuries, although in this case significant relationships were observed with BMI (p = 0.004) and training intensity (p = 0.009). Conclusions: It was observed that the group of runners studied is in good health and that their training habits are correct, according to the latest WHO recommendations. In addition, their characteristics and training habits did not show a relationship with the risk of developing a pathological ECG or suffering musculoskeletal injuries, except for the significant relationship that BMI and training intensity showed with the latter.

The purpose of this study was to explore the potential relationship between ACTN-3 and ACE gene expression over the change in muscle mechanical and functional properties in youth handballers through a congested tournament. 30 players of the first handball division of Costa Rica participated in this study. The participants played a national tournament during three consecutive days (one match per day). The collection of genetic samples was through a mouth rinse with a 5% sucrose solution before the tournament. PCR tests were used to detect the alleles of the ACE and ACTN3 genes and the product´s reaction was visualized by electrophoresis. Before and after each match, tensiomyography (TMG) and Countermovement jump (CMJ) tests were used to assess mechanical and functional properties respectively. Descriptive frequency analyses and a one-way analysis of variance of independent groups were the statistics test applied. The results showed that the most prevalent polymorphisms expression was ACTN-3 R-X (56.7%) and ECA I-D (43.3%). No significant differences (p> 0.050) were found between genes expressed in the mechanical responses (contraction time (TC), delay time (TD) and, maximum radial displacement (DM)) of the rectus femoral muscle of the dominant leg neither in performance in the test CMJ. Likewise, there was no significant change (p> 0.050) in muscle mechanical or functional properties post official matches. In conclusion, handball players have the genes ACE and ACTN. Nevertheless, it seems to have no influence of these genes on the mechanical or functional muscles acute responses. More investigations will be needed to explain and understand the real impact of this gene’s expression on muscle performance in handball players.

Objective: To identify possible differences in movement quality through the functional movement screen (FMS) between injured and non-injured adolescent acrobatic gymnasts in the last season. Method: descriptive, comparative, cross-sectional study involving 20 adolescent female gymnasts divided into two groups, one composed of 9 gymnasts who had suffered an injury in the last season (14,7±1,56) and the other composed of 11 gymnasts who had not suffered any injury (13,9±2,25). The FMS battery was used, consisting of seven tests: deep squat, hurdle step, in-line lunge, shoulder mobility, active straight leg raise, trunk stability in push-ups, trunk rotational stability. Results: Of the nine gymnasts who had sustained an injury, 66.6% were located in the lower limb, ankles and knees. The results of the total functional assessment of FMS using the Mann Whitney U statistic for independent samples showed no statistically significant differences between groups (Z = -.393; p > 0.05), with the average range of FMS being similar in both cases (10.05 and 11.06 in injured and non-injured gymnasts respectively). It also showed the absence of significant differences in each of the tests of the battery, and no relationship was found through Spearman’s R statistic, between the overall FMS score and the group of injured gymnasts. Conclusion: The results of the FMS total score were slightly higher in gymnasts who were not injured last season, as well as slightly better in all the lower body tests, hence the FMS can be used as a preventive programmed to detect possible deficiencies.

Background: The aging of the population together with sedentary lifestyle, can cause a functional deterioration that leads to the decrease of physical condition and quality of life. Promoting active aging can improve the quality of life and physical condition of our elders. Objective: This work aims to investigate the available scientific evidence on the effect of physical activity in older adults, in terms of quality of life, physical condition, and maintenance of functional independence. Material and method: A systematic review was performed in the WOS, SCOPUS and PubMed databases. Selection of articles: Intervention studies evaluating the quality of life and functional capacity of older adults were included. The studies were evaluated according to methodological quality with the PEDro scale. Results: 1331 articles were found, of which 17 were included. Interventions included resistance, strength, balance, coordination, and gait speed exercises. The main findings indicated that a higher rate of physical activity was associated with less impairment of physical and cognitive functions in older adults and, therefore, with a better quality of life. Conclusions: an active lifestyle is associated with a better quality of life, better physical condition and maintenance of functional independence. Other studies, with greater homogeneity in the data collection instruments, with greater frequency of interventions, would be convenient to define the most appropriate exercise programs and to increase the scientific evidence.

Background: Functional and structural cardiac adaptations are generated by sustained physical training. The objective of our investigation was to evaluate the association in electrocardiographic and echocardiographic findings in a population of high-performance athletes. Material and method: 30 male athletes (10 water polo players, 10 triathlonists and 10 swimmers), ages 18 to 40 years old, training 20 to 30 hours per week for at least one year, were evaluated. Clinical, electrocardiographic (ECG) and echocardiographic examination was performed on each of them at Instituto Vozzi. Results: Echocardiographic results showed that the mean septal thickness, the mass index of the left ventricle (LV), the anteroposterior diameter and the area of the left atrium (LA), the area of the right atrium (RA) and the base of the right ventricle (RV) were found above normal values for the general population. None of the athletes ECGs presented LA, RA or RV enlargement. Nine of 30 (30%) presented signs of LV enlargement. After adjusting for age, weight, height, body surface area, and sport performed, LV diastolic diameter (LVDD) indexed to body surface area (BSA) was higher in athletes with LV enlargement on ECG (adjusted mean 28.94 ± 0.56 mm; 95% CI = 27.78-30.10) vs without (27.67 ± 0.36 mm; 95% CI = 26.93-28.41). More triathlonists presented LV enlargement signs on the ECG compared to the other groups. Conclusions: Certain echocardiographic parameters in our population of athletes are above normal values for the general population. There was no relationship comparing electrocardiographic and echocardiographic signs of LA, RA and RV enlargement. An association was found between ECGs LV enlargement and increased LVDD indexed to BSA on the echocardiograms. LV enlargement on the ECGs was more frequent in the triathlon group.
