BIOELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE ANALYSIS IN KARATE ATHLETES: BIA PARAMETERS OBTAINED WITH INBODY720 REGARDING THE AGE
(Faculty of Physical Education, Sport and Health in Skopje, 2016)
;
;
;
;
The basic purpose of this paper is to make recognizable analysis of body composition with bioelectrical impedance analyzer, (especially with InBody 720) to the sports scientific public. To fulfill this assignment we would like to present numerous parameters of body composition obtained with InBody 720, in subjects younger than 18 years and older than 18 years, because of fact that this BIA device gives different final result sheets regarding the age limit of 18 years. We investigated 21 karate athletes, members of karate national team of Republic Macedonia, age span from 15 to 22 years. They were divided in two age different groups, up to 18 (U18) and over 18 years old (18+). The final result sheets for person younger than 18 years consists considerably less parameters than for subjects older than 18 years. Comparison of parameters common for both groups showed that U18 karate athletes had significantly lower mean values for following parameters: height (176.8  4.26cm vs. 179.8  5.35cm), body weight (69.05  7.4 kg vs. 77.43  8.71 kg), skeletal muscle mass (35.38  4.43 kg vs. 38.34  2.97 kg) and body mass index, BMI (21.8  1.31 kg/m2 vs. 23.97  2.26 kg/m2) than 18+ karate athletes. Younger athletes also had significantly lower parameters of obesity diagnose: body fat mass (6.73  1.98 kg vs 10.31  5.02 kg) and body fat percent (9.8  2.65% vs. 12.91  5.14%). The data from this paper could allow the health professionals, sport scientists, sport expert and athletes to get useful information about plenty of parameters of body mass analysis obtained with bioelectrical impedance analyzer.

BODY COMPOSITION RELATED TO BODY MASS INDEX AMONG YOUNG ELITE FOOTBALL PLAYERS
(Medical faculty, Ss Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, 2017)
;
;
;
;
Abstract Introduction. Body composition is extremely important for athletes’ performance, thus assessment tools may be used to clarify their sports condition. The aim of the study was to investigate body composition measurements and maximal oxygen consumption related to body mass index (BMI) in young elite football players. Material and methods. A total of 29 young football players were divided into 3 groups related to the value of BMI: I group (n=8); II group (n=13); and III group (n=8). The subjects were submitted to the sub-maximal pulse approach on treadmill method (SchillerAg, MTM-1500 Bear, Switzerland) to measure VO 2max (ml/kg/min). A body composition analyzer (InBody720, Biospace Co, Seoul, Korea) was used to determine the body fat - BF (%), skeletal muscle - SM (%) and total body water – TW(L) including intracellular body water – ICW(L) and extracellular body water – ECW(L). For the statistical analysis, a t-test was performed upon which the significance for p<0.05 was considered. Results. The football players showed the highest VO 2 max value in the II group (p<0.05). BF showed increased value in the III group (p<0.02). SM did not show any significant difference between the groups. Body water composition showed no statistical significance. Conclusion. Due to our results, we may conclude that certain parameters may determine the condition of young athletes in order to select appropriate training procedures, proper diet, and personalized performance. Key words: football; body mass index; body composition.

APPLICATION OF BIOELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE ANALYSIS OF BODY MASS IN ATHLETES
(College of Sport and Health, Belgrade, 2017-05)
;
;
The primarily role of body mass analysis in sport anthropometry is to determine body mass components, especially muscle component and body fat. The bioelectric impedance analyzes (BIA) employs the principle that the tissues consist of abundance of water and electrolytes, such as muscles, offer less resistance and conduct the current easier than tissue poor with water, such as adipose tissue. The InBody 720 apparatus utilizes the latest technology of measuring body composition using the method of Direct Segmental Multifrequency Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis. InBody’s use four compartments body mass model: the total body water consists of intracellular (ICW) and extracellular water (ECW); the protein compartment, fat free mass (FFM); the mineral compartment and the body fat mass. The aim of this paper is to show which parameters could be obtained by BIA methodology employing the InBody 720 and to make this methodology familiar and recognizable to health and sport practitioners.

LEVELS OF ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION IN ELITE KARATE ATHLETES
(Faculty of Physical Education, Sport and Health in Skopje, Republic of Macedonia, 2018)
;
;
;
;
The aim of the study was to assess the levels of anxiety and depression, in elite karate athletes on the beginning of the summer preparatory period. The investigation was carried out as part of regular periodical systematic physical check-up of athletes. Twenty nine elite male karate athletes (most of them members of the Macedonian national karate team) aged 15 to 29 years, were asked to fulfil the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). The BAI questionnaire consists of 21 questions related to various aspects of anxiety. The intensity of perceived anxiety for every question in BAI is scored from 0 to 3, with 0 representing the least serious and 3 the most serious symptoms. The sum of all items is calculated at the end. BAI scores from 0-7 were ranked as a normal anxiety level; 8-25 as moderate; and 26-63 as high anxiety. The degree of depressive symptoms was measured by the 21-item-revised form of Beck Depression Inventory. The BDI statements for each question are ranked from 0 to 3, with 0 representing the least serious and 3 the most serious symptoms. Scores of BDI ≤ 10 indicate absence of depressive symptoms, BDI scores from 11-20 indicate mild depressive symptoms, while BDI scores from 21-30 indicate moderate depressive symptoms. BDI scores higher than 30 indicate clinically manifest depressive episode. Mean value of the acquired BAI scores in elite karate athletes was 4,1 ± 3,8. One seventh of all athletes showed moderate levels of anxiety. Mean value of acquired BDI scores was 6,1 ± 5,5. Four athletes showed mild depressive symptom, while one athlete showed moderate depressive symptoms. There was a positive correlation between the degree of depressive symptoms and the age of the athletes (r=0,575).

Psychophysiology and the sport science
(Faculty of Physical Education, Sport and Health in Skopje, 2016)
;
;
;
;
Psychophysiology is an interdisciplinary scientific approach which studies the connection between mind and body through measurement of the electrical activity of neural and muscular tissues and the conductivity of dermal tissue. The aim of this paper is to review some of the findings of psychophysiology research in sports. Two types of methods have been employed. The first one is the measurement of the changes in the brain electrical activity using the electroencephalography (EEG). Event-related potentials (ERP) are modalities of EEG which have largely been used in the research of performance in athletes. The other type of measurements is focused on the changes in cardiovascular system, respiratory system and skeletal muscles. The muscular electrical activity during sports performance has been investigated by electromyography (EMG). Both types of investigations can be combined. Psychophysiological level of measurement holds promise for understanding how cognitive-affective factors influence the quality of motor behavior.

COMPARISONS AND CORRELATIONS OF THE ELECTROCARDIOGRAPHY CHANGES REGARDING THE FUNCTIONAL FEATURES BEFORE, DURING AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE TREADMILL TEST WITH ATHLETES
(Faculty of Physical Education, Sport and Health in Skopje, 2019)
;
;
;
;
The need for cardiovascular screening in order to timely detect and diagnose the morphological and functional changes of the heart, which occur as a result of doing sport actively, and thus to avoid the occurrence of sudden cardiac death, is generally accepted. To achieve the objectives of the study, two noninvasive diagnostic methods for cardiovascular evaluation were used: electrocardiography (ECG) and the Bruce protocol test. The purpose of this study was to determine and examine the relationship of ECG changes to functional characteristics before, during, and/or immediately after exercise testing. This crosssectional study conducted during 2016/2017 involved 285 athletes aged 9 to 38, of both sexes. They were all given a 12-channel electrocardiogram (ECG) at rest, after which personal, family and sports history and anamnesis were given, followed by a Bruce protocol test and functional parameters were examined (symptoms, metabolic equivalents, METs, test duration, exercise capacity-VO2 max, rhythm disturbance, heart rate, heart rate reserve and recovery, chronotropic incompetence (CI), systolic and diastolic blood pressure). According to ECG changes and in accordance with international recommendations for its interpretation, athletes were divided into 4 groups: with normal, physiological, borderline or abnormal ECG findings. The results showed a significant positive connection between abnormal ECG and the occurrence of rhythm disturbance during the exercise test (r = 0.119; p = 0.045); Cardiovascular capacity expressed in (METs) compared to respondents with normal ECG was significantly higher in those with physiological ECG changes (p = 0.003), HR reserve percentage was lowest among athletes with abnormal ECG, and CI had the highest percentage. It can be concluded that an athlete with borderline, abnormal, and possibly physiologically assessed ECG should undergo further evaluation.

Levels of manifest anxiety in athletes
(College of Sport and Health, Belgrade, 2017-05)
;
;
The aim of the study was to assess the levels of manifest anxiety in athletes. One hundred and fifteen athletes (16 females and 99 males) aged 15 to 25 years who were engaged in different team sports and 174 students (132 females and 42 males) aged 19-25 years, from the Medical Faculty in Skopje, who had sedentary life style were asked to anonymously fulfill the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale (TMAS), which measures trait anxiety. It is an acquired behavioral disposition to perceive an objectively safe object as threatening and dangerous and respond to it with anxiety, the intensity of which is not adequate to the objective situation. Mean value of the acquired TMAS scores in athletes was 13,07 ± 5,83, while medical students scored 21,65 ± 8,33 (p<0,05) on TMAS. Twenty nine percent of the athletes and 75 percent of medical students showed high levels of manifest anxiety (TMAS score higher than 15). There was no difference in mean TMAS scores between male athletes aged 15 to 18, and athletes aged 19 to 25. Athletes showed significantly lower levels of manifest anxiety compared to sedentary medical students.

Normal Values of Tissue-Muscle Perfusion Indexes of Lower Limbs Obtained with a Scintigraphic Method
(Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts / Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2017-09-01)
;
;
;
;
Introduction Muscle perfusion is a physiologic process that can undergo quantitative assessment and thus define the range of normal values of perfusion indexes and perfusion reserve. The investigation of the microcirculation has a crucial role in determining the muscle perfusion. Materials and method The study included 30 examinees, 24-74 years of age, without a history of confirmed peripheral artery disease and all had normal findings on Doppler ultrasonography and pedo-brachial index of lower extremity (PBI). 99mTc-MIBI tissue muscle perfusion scintigraphy of lower limbs evaluates tissue perfusion in resting condition "rest study" and after workload "stress study", through quantitative parameters: Inter-extremity index (for both studies), left thigh/right thigh (LT/RT) left calf/right calf (LC/RC) and perfusion reserve (PR) for both thighs and calves. Results In our investigated group we assessed the normal values of quantitative parameters of perfusion indexes. Indexes ranged for LT/RT in rest study 0.91-1.05, in stress study 0.92-1.04. LC/RC in rest 0.93-1.07 and in stress study 0.93-1.09. The examinees older than 50 years had insignificantly lower perfusion reserve of these parameters compared with those younger than 50, LC (p=0.98), and RC (p=0.6). Conclusion This non-invasive scintigraphic method allows in individuals without peripheral artery disease to determine the range of normal values of muscle perfusion at rest and stress condition and to clinically implement them in evaluation of patients with peripheral artery disease for differentiating patients with normal from those with impaired lower limbs circulation.
