The effect of swimming on the body posture, range of motion and musculoskeletal pain in elite para and able-bodied swimmers

open access: yesBMC Sports Science, Medicine and Rehabilitation, 2023
Background Elite swimmers may be predisposed to disturbances in the range of motion (ROM) of hip joints and spinal curvatures, which are a factor that induces body’s compensatory mechanisms that may have an impact on sports training, athletic performance

The shape of the sagittal curvatures of the spine in a high-level acrobatic gymnasts – comparison by sex

open access: yesCentral European Journal of Sport Sciences and Medicine, 2023
Specific loads on the spine and the very young age at which acrobatic gymnastics training is undertaken require monitoring the shape of the spine curvatures in gymnasts to detect possible postural abnormalities.

Radiodiagnostic method for studying swimbladder inflammation caused by Anguillicola crassus (Nematoda:Dracunculoidea) [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
The nematode Anguillicola crassus appeared in Europe about 15 yr ago, and has subsequently become recognised as a cause of major pathological lesions in the swimbladder of the European eel Anguilla anguilla. The radiographic method reported in this paper

Comparison of spinal curvature parameters as determined by the ZEBRIS spine examination method and the Cobb method in children with scoliosis. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:The most common and gold standard method to diagnose and follow-up on scoliosis treatment is to capture biplanar X-ray images and then use these to determine the sagittal frontal spinal curvature angles by the Cobb method. Reducing

The Effect of Ankle Dorsiflexion on Sagittal Posture and Core Muscle Activation

open access: yesBiomechanics
Maintaining proper posture is essential for preventing musculoskeletal disorders and reducing injury risks. This study investigates the impact of insoles with ankle dorsiflexion (inverted drop sole) on sagittal posture, spinal curvatures, and core muscle

Atom-Based Geometrical Fingerprinting of Conformal Two-Dimensional Materials [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The shape of two-dimensional materials plays a significant role on their chemical and physical properties. Two-dimensional materials are basic meshes that are formed by mesh points (vertices) given by atomic positions, and connecting lines (edges ...
