The use of posture and movement analysis methods has developed during the past 15 years. These methods are of special interest in the field of sport sciences and have allowed to improve the understanding of physiology of posture and movement in athletes. More recently these methods have been used in the field of sport medicine. In some cases, they have helped to identify abnormalities which cannot be seen on standard clinical examination and to understand the mechanism of lesions occurring during sport activities. For the future these methods should provide useful information for understanding the physiopathology of lesions, for developing prevention of pathologies related to sport and for elaborating and assessing new treatment protocols in the field of sport medicine.

Bone Adaptations to a Whole Body Vibration Protocol in Murine Models of Different Ages: A Preliminary Study on Structural Changes and Biomarker Evaluation.
J Funct Morphol Kinesiol
January 2025
Department of Systems Medicine, "Tor Vergata" University of Rome, 00133 Rome, Italy.
: Whole body vibration (WBV) is a valuable tool to mitigate physiological adaptations related to age and inactivity. Although significant benefits have been found at the musculoskeletal level, including increased bone mass and reduced muscle atrophy, the underlying biological mechanisms remain largely unknown. Therefore, our study aimed to evaluate the effects of vibratory training on bone tissue in murine models of different age groups by investigating the structural and distribution changes in some crucial biomarkers involved in musculoskeletal homeostasis.

Faculty of Sport and Physical Education, University in Belgrade, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia.
Background/objectives: The correlation of handgrip strength (HGS) and morphological characteristics with Big Five personality traits is well documented. However, it is unclear whether these relationships also exist in highly trained and specialized populations, such as tactical athletes, and whether there are specific differences compared to the general population. This study aimed to explore the interplay of handgrip neuromuscular, morphological, and psychological characteristics in tactical athletes and the general population of both genders.

J Funct Morphol Kinesiol
December 2024
Institut Nacional d'Educació Física de Catalunya (INEFC), Partida la Caparrella, 97, E-25192 Lleida, Spain.
Objectives: The aim was to assess the content validity of a new field test on general and soccer-specific motor skills before return to play.
Methods: The RONDO-TEST was assessed by a Delphi panel for its content validity. It included a survey to evaluate 16 items related to the test consisting of four 10 m lines which cross over at their mid-point, resulting in eight 5 m sectors that include locomotor skills (speeding, moving sideways, side cutting, and jumping) and soccer-specific technical skills (dribbling, slalom course, and kicking/passing).
Short- and Long-Term Effects on Physical Fitness in Older Adults: Results from an 8-Week Exercise Program Repeated in Two Consecutive Years.

: Information on the long-term maintenance of short-term exercise fitness gains measured by field-based tests is scarce in older adults. This study aimed to investigate short- and long-term changes in various physical fitness parameters after an 8-week exercise program. : In this longitudinal study, a total of 265 participants (62% women; mean age 71.
