Journal Article
Leaping ability and body composition in rhythmic gymnasts for talent identification.
A. Di Cagno,Carlo Baldari,Claudia Battaglia,Patricia Brasili,Franco Merni,M Piazza,Stefania Toselli,Angela Raffaella Ventrella,Laura Guidetti +8 more
TL;DR: Level of muscle compliance (stiffness) evaluated by hopping test is a good parameter for athletes selection and for monitoring leaps training, and some anthropometric measurements are good indicators for the better performance in rhythmic gymnastics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Somatotype in 6-11-year-old Italian and Estonian schoolchildren.
Angela Raffaella Ventrella,Samantha Semproli,Jaak Jürimäe,Stefania Toselli,Albrecht Claessens,Toivo Jürimäe,Patricia Brasili +6 more
TL;DR: It emerges from factorial ANOVA, that the somatotype components do not present significant variations related to organised physical activity and to the interaction between the country of origin and sport practice, and that mesomorphy is the best discriminator between the two countries.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of anthropometric characteristics to the handgrip and pinch strength in 6-10-year old children.
Samantha Semproli,Patricia Brasili,Stefania Toselli,Angela Raffaella Ventrella,Jaak Jürimäe,Toivo Jürimäe +5 more
TL;DR: In children, the basic Anthropometric parameters (body height and BMI) contribute more to the prediction of handgrip strength than the specific anthropometric parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI
A case of ‘butterfly’ vertebra from Sardinia
TL;DR: A rare congenital malformation of the spine known as ‘butterfly’ vertebra, which is classified as a congenital developmental anomaly in the early embryonic period, resulting in a sagittally cleft vertebral body, is described.
Journal Article
Traumatic events and life-style in ancient Italian populations.
TL;DR: The results suggest the presence of a relationship between skeletal traumatic lesions and life-styles of populations, and strengthen the hypothesis that the population was composed, at least in part, of warriors.
