106. Secular trends in body dimensions among young tennis players from 1992 to 2008Aleš Filipčič, Bojan Leskošek, Nejc Šarabon, Tjaša Filipčič, 2012, original scientific article Abstract: Several studies have examined both physical characteristics and fitness of children and youth. The aim of the study was first, to find the tendency of changes in selected morphological characteristics of young male and female tennis players of various ages in the periods 1992-2000-2008; and second, to find the changes in selected variables of young tennis players and to compare them with the results of boys and girls of same age from normal school population. Sample of variables included body height, body weight and body mass index (BMI). Multivariate analysis of variance revealed statistically significant differences in all main factors (group, age, gender and period) and additionally in interactions group*period, group*gender and age*gender. Univariate analysis of variance revealed statistically significant differences in body height and BMI between the groups of tennis players and the same age school population for both sexes and between three age groups (12-13 years, 14-15 years, 16-17 years) for body height, body weight and BMI. Differences between the sexes indicate statistically significant differences only in variables body height and weight. Changes in the observed morphological characteristics point to the increase in body height, body weight and BMI values in both school population and young tennis players

109. Strength training in elderly people improves static balanceNejc Šarabon, Stefan Loefler, Jan Cvecka, Milan Sedliak, Helmut Kern, 2013, original scientific article Abstract: Aim of this study was to investigate the effects of two different types of strength training programs on static balance in elderly subjects. Subjects older than 65 years of age were enrolled and assigned to control group (CG, n =19), electrical stimulation group (ES, n = 27) or leg press group (LP, n = 28). Subjects in both the training groups were exposed to training (2-3x/week) for a period of 9 weeks. In the ES group the subjects received neuromuscular electrical stimulation of the anterior thigh muscles. In the LP group the subjects performed strength training on a computer-controlled leg press machine. Before and after the training period, static balance of the subject was tested using a quiet stance task. Average velocity, amplitude and frequency of the center-of-pressure (CoP) were calculated from the acquired force plate signal. The data was statistically tested with analysis of (co)variance and t-tests. The three groups of subjects showed statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) regarding the pre-training vs. post-training changes in CoP velocity, amplitude and frequency. The differences were more pronounced for CoP velocity and amplitude, while they were less evident in case of mean frequency. The mean improvements were higher in the LP group than in the ES group. Our results provide supportive evidence to the existence of the strength-balance relationship. Additionally, results indicate the role of recruiting central processes and activation of functional kinetic chains for the better end effect
