The Use Of Audio-Relaxation Does Not Affect The Basketball Free Throw Of Young College Students, A Gutiérrez-Morones, J Aburto-Corona, M Sánchez-García, J P. Machado-Parra

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

INTRODUCTION: As the pressure of competition increase, the athlete will begin to doubt or feel insecure, generating muscular tension and difficulty in the movement. In sports, especially basketball, relaxation is a key part of fine-skills coordination. For this reason, it is determinate that audio-relaxation can become of paramount importance in sport. PURPOSE: To determine if the basketball free throw is influenced by audio-relaxation in a group of physically active college students. METHODS: Eight physically active, apparently healthy college students (­4 male and 4 female) volunteered to participate in this study. The students height was 168.3 ± 8.7cm (range, …

Concurrent And Construct Validity Of Methods To Estimate Fat-Free Mass In Children, Adolescents, And Young Adults, L Correas-Gómez, J R. Alvero-Cruz, E A. Carnero

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

INTRODUCTION: Indirect methodologies are available to estimate fat-free mass (FFM) as a skeletal muscle mass surrogate in field settings at low cost. However, there is a lack of knowledge related with the FMM estimations variability introduced by the available methods and its correlations with performance constructs. The association between repeated measures of FFM by different methodologies and strength tests must provide a valuable construct validity analysis, which allows us to select the best method to assess the functional body composition.

PURPOSE: To analyze validity and agreement between laboratory and field methods to estimate FFM in children, adolescents, and young …

International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings

INTRODUCTION: The aging population is becoming significantly large in several countries due to improved health conditions and higher life expectancy. For instance, Costa Rican elderly have 17% less mortality at 90 yr. of age than elderly from high-income countries, and in Costa Rica life expectancy is higher for men than for women. In developed countries such as Spain, a large number of sedentary elderly have been found with elevated body fat percentage, which might impact their overall health and quality of life. Although the international scientific literature is extensive, the physical and functional status of Central American elderly is unknown. …
